Wild encounters

You can find Lechonk in Pokemon GO's overworld as you walk around. During the event, it will have a boosted spawn rate, making it easier to catch. To further increase the number of spawns, you can use an Incense. Staying mobile leads to more encounters with Lechonk, improving your chances of finding a shiny version of the critter.

Alongside Lechonk, you can find Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly in the wild as well. The shiny form of these critters will not be available though.

7km Eggs

Opening gifts from in-game friends while the A Paldean Adventure event is on will reward you with special 7km Eggs. These eggs have a chance to hatch Shiny Lechonk.

Field Research encounters

You can collect event-special Field Research tasks by spinning discs at PokeStops. Some of these will contain encounters with Lechonk as rewards. These Lechonk may be shiny. They will also have a higher IV floor of 10/10/10.

Timed Research encounters

A Paldean Adventure-themed Timed Research will also be available for the duration of the event. Completing each stage of this challenge will give you an encounter with Lechonk, which may turn out to be shiny.

The only way to get Shiny Oinkologne in Pokemon GO is by evolving a Shiny Lechonk. Interestingly, the critter has two distinct variants based on whether it is male or female.

It takes 50 Candy to evolve Lechonk into Oinkologne. Considering the creature will be abundantly available during the event, getting your hands on a Shiny Oinkologne will be easy enough if you can catch a shiny form of this Pig Pokemon.
