Pokemon GO: Shiny Timburr, Shiny Gurdurr, and Shiny Conkeldurr guide

Timburr was released in Pokemon GO along with the concept of Trade Evolutions in January 2020. Its evolved forms, Gurdurr and Conkeldurr, have also been available since then. Their shiny forms were released soon after in March 2020 during the start of the GO Battle League's launch celebrations. It has since been available in the game, but Timburr is a rare critter, making appearances only on special occasions.

Fortunately, Timburr is the star of Pokemon GO's October 2023 Community Day. It will be abundantly available across the world from 2-5 pm local time on the day. One of the event's bonuses is that it will have a highly boosted shiny rate of 1-in-20. This makes it a great chance to capture some shiny variants of this critter and its evolutions. This guide will enumerate all the ways to do so.

Wild encounters

The easiest way of running into Shiny Timburr will be in the wild, as the critter will be spawning everywhere around you. All you need to do is keep moving to refresh the spawns. Make sure to pause every time you see a new set of spawns and shiny-check each Timburr.

That said, it is recommended that you catch as many Timburr as possible during the Community Day, as it will help you stock up on Stardust, Candy, and even Candy XL if you are above level 31.

Field Research reward

Timburr will be available as a Field Research reward, and it can be shiny in these encounters. This is also a good way of finding this critter with higher IVs since it will have an IV floor of 10/10/10.

---

Paid Special Research reward

Like all Community Days, this one will also feature a paid Special Research, costing US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency). Completing tasks in this track will give you multiple Timburr encounters, each of which can be shiny.

Special encounters after beating Gurdurr raid

After the three hours of the Community Day, Timburr's evolved form Gurdurr will be appearing in four-star Raid Battles. Defeating this raid will lead to increased Timburr spawns around the Gym that hosted the raid. These spawns will have the same shiny rates as the ones during the main event.

The only way to get Shiny Gurdurr is by evolving a Shiny Timburr. To achieve this, you must feed 50 Candy to the base form. While Gurdurr can be caught directly from four-star Raids after the Community Day event, these encounters are shiny-locked (no shiny available).

How to get Shiny Conkeldurr in Pokemon GO

Shiny Cokeldurr can only be acquired by evolving Shiny Gurdurr. This can be achieved by feeding a Shiny Gurdurr 200 Candy or trading it with a friend.

Please note that trading shiny Pocket Monsters counts as a Special Trade, and you can only do one of these per day. Fortunately, one of the bonuses from the Timburr Community Day is the availability of an extra Special Trade, meaning you can do two shiny Gurdurr trades on October 15, 2023, if you want to.

What are the odds of finding Shiny Timburr in Pokemon GO

The odds of finding Shiny Timburr in the wild at regular times is around 1-in-64. These odds improve massively to become 1-in-25 during the Community Day hours and for the spawns after defeating Gurdurr raids.

You must note that 1-in-25 shiny odds mean each spawn has a 1/25 chance of being shiny, and not that if you encounter 25 shiny Timburrs, one will mandatorily be shiny. You can check out the shiny odds of all the Pokemon appearing in 2023's Harvest Festival.
