Unveiling the Sparkle: Is Shiny Makuhita Possible in Pokémon Go?

Makuhita, known as the guts Pokémon from the Hoenn region, is available in the wild in Pokémon Go. This Pokémon can indeed be shiny!

Shiny Rate for Makuhita in Pokémon Go

According to historical data from the now-inactive website The Silph Road, the shiny encounter rate for Pokémon is generally about one in 500. Makuhita does not have a guaranteed shiny rate increase, meaning it doesn’t benefit from what’s known as a “permaboost,” typically reserved for Pokémon that are rarer spawns.

Attracting More Shiny Pokémon

Unfortunately, there are limited ways to increase your chances of encountering shiny Pokémon. The rates are determined by Niantic and are mostly enhanced during special events, such as Community Days, Safari Zones, or Legendary Raids. No items exist that can improve shiny rates directly.

Shiny Pokémon List

For a comprehensive list of shiny Pokémon currently available in Pokémon Go, players can refer to various online resources dedicated to the game.

While Hariyama, the evolved form of Makuhita, was once prominent in the competitive scene, it has been surpassed by stronger fighters like Lucario and Conkeldurr. However, if you possess a shadow Makuhita, it may be worth considering powering it up for better performance in battles.
