There’s exciting news in the world of Pokémon Go! If you’ve been on the hunt for Stufful, the charming Pokémon hailing from the Alola region, your search just got a tad easier. Not only is Stufful wandering in the wild, but there’s also a chance to encounter its shiny version, boasting a distinct yellow and white hue.
The debut of Shiny Stufful can be traced back to a memorable Community Day event in April 2022. For those wondering about its rarity, the odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon on an ordinary day stands at approximately 1 in 500. Notably, Stufful doesn’t benefit from a “permaboost”, meaning its shiny rate remains consistent with other Pokémon.
For the shiny enthusiasts among us, Niantic sets and occasionally boosts the shiny Pokémon catch rates, especially during events. If you’re ever curious about the diverse world of shiny Pokémon, the trusted platform LeekDuck offers an exhaustive list showcasing the existing shiny variants.
Mark your calendars for August 15, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time. During this Pokémon Go Spotlight Hour, Stufful will grace your screens more frequently, providing trainers an amplified opportunity to catch them. As a bonus, all Pokémon catches during this hour will yield double the usual experience points. Pro tip: Equip an Incense to draw more Pokémon to your location and activate a Lucky Egg to maximize your experience gains – these bonuses will stack!
For the uninitiated, Stufful is a blend of Normal and Fighting types, representing the seventh generation of Pokémon. Collectors with 400 Stufful Candy can evolve it into the imposing Bewear.
