Pokemon GO has a variety of Pokemon and their different types that can be found in the wild. But none of the thrills compare to getting a shiny version of a Pokémon. Since the debut of Inkay during last year’s Psychic Spectacular, players have been waiting for the release of his brilliant version. With the upcoming research, players won’t need to worry about that. Here’s our guide to everything there is to know about the upcoming shiny Inkay in Pokemon Go.
How to get Shiny Inkay in Pokemon GO (2022)
The Shiny Inkay will be available for the first time on September 3, 2022 during the limited Inkay Research event. Pokémon trainers will get a short window from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm local time. Along with an increased chance to meet the shiny Inkei, you will also receive several event bonuses. But you will need to complete field research tasks in order to meet with Inkay. While you won’t encounter the brilliant Inkei in the wild, you can find several other Pokémon. And to add a twist, you can also come across their shiny versions.
Here are the following Pokémon that you can find in the wild:
- Alolan Ratata
- Murcrow
- Gondur
- Puciena
- Nazlif
- Sable
- Purrloin
- Galarian Zigzag
In addition to Nuzleaf and Purrloin, you can find shiny versions of all the Pokémon mentioned. Since this research event will only last 3 hours, we suggest that players set their clocks correctly. Because this is the best chance to catch Shiny Inkay. Like Inkei, you can also turn his shiny version into Malamar. Once you have collected 50 Inkay candies, simply flip your phone upside down to develop a shiny Inkay.
That’s all we know about the brilliant Inkei in Pokemon GO.
