Pokemon GO: Shiny Spiritomb guide

The first of the 2023 Halloween events in Pokemon GO has been a major success so far. After an array of tragically flop events, Niantic finally gave something that Pokemon GO players genuinely enjoy. Besides the debut of a few brand-new Pocket Monsters, you will also encounter a few significantly rare creatures.

Spiritomb was originally introduced in this title all the way back in 2018. Since then, this beast has made a few appearances in GO, and if you have missed out on previous events, now is a good time to pull your socks up. While this Pokemon is a rare encounter in this game, a shiny variant might feel like a myth, but it does exist.

In this article, we will walk you through everything you need to know about Shiny Spiritomb in Pokemon GO, including how to catch one, whether it is worth the grind, and more.
