How to Get Shadow Kyogre in Pokemon GO: Unlocking Shadow Kyogre in Pokemon GO and the possibility of it being shiny are hot topics as the Taken Treasures event unfolds from January 27 to February 1, 2024. Players are eager to harness the formidable power of this legendary Water-type attacker, enhanced by a 20% damage boost in its shadow variant. If you’re aiming to add Shadow Kyogre to your team, follow these steps and stay tuned for shiny possibilities.
How to Obtain Shadow Kyogre in Pokemon GO
To secure Shadow Kyogre during the Taken Treasures event, engage in the Seasonal Special Research questline known as Timeless Travels. The final step of this questline, available until March 1, 2024, requires you to defeat Team GO Rocket’s boss, Giovanni. Obtain the Super Rocket Radar by completing Special Research Tasks during the event, enabling you to track down Giovanni.
Equip the Super Rocket Radar, which scans nearby Pokestops and Team GO Rocket balloons for Giovanni’s presence. Engage in battle with Giovanni, adapting your lineup based on his changing team compositions. Utilize Fighting-type Pokemon against Persian and Ground-, Psychic-, Ice-, or Water-type moves against Nidoking. Be prepared to face Shadow Kyogre, countering it with Electric- or Grass-type Pokemon.
Shiny Variant of Shadow Kyogre in Pokemon GO
While Kyogre and its Primal Form have shiny variants in the game, there’s currently no indication that Shadow Kyogre will be available in a shiny form during the Taken Treasures event. Niantic’s announcement and blog post did not mention the availability of a shiny variant, and the absence of a shiny icon on Shadow Kyogre’s image further supports this.
Despite the current lack of a shiny option, Pokemon GO enthusiasts can look forward to future events in January 2024 and beyond. While Niantic hasn’t confirmed a specific timeframe, past events have introduced shiny shadow legendaries, hinting that the shiny Shadow Kyogre may make its debut in the game sooner or later. Stay tuned for updates and participate in upcoming events for the chance to encounter this elusive shiny variant.
