How to Get Shiny Impidimp, Shiny Morgrem, & Shiny Grimmsnarl in Pokemon GO
In Pokemon GO, shiny Impidimp, shiny Morgrem, and shiny Grimmsnarl are making their worldwide debut via the GO Wild Area: Global event during November 2025. GO Wild Area: Global, kick off on November 15 at 10 AM local time, and run until November 16, at 6 PM local time. This event follows the in-person GO Wild Area 2025: Nagisaki event from a few days prior, in which the shiny Impidimp line made a Japan-exclusive debut.
Furthermore, Gigantamax Grimmsnarl will also make its Pokemon GO debut during this event. As all other evolutions/forms in the Impidimp evolution line now have shiny variants available in-game, shiny Gigantamax Grimmsnarl will also be a possibility, right from the beginning.
Further information on how each shiny in the Impidimp-Morgrem-Grimmsnarl can be obtained has been included below.
How to Get Shiny Impidimp in Pokemon GO
In Pokemon GO, Impidimp is a relatively new Pokemon that was only released in the regular variant during GO Wild Area 2025: Nagisaki, where the shiny variants were also introduced. For the rest of the world, GO Area: Global is the first opportunity to obtain this monster.
During the GO Wild Area: Global event, Impidimp will be available to capture as a wild spawn both during the Lurking Dark Hour and Fanciful Fairy Hour. In addition to this, Impidimp can also be obtained during the event by hatching 5km Eggs. However, neither of these methods is guaranteed, so Trainers may need to use resources to farm as many egg-hatching and wild spawn instances as possible, providing more chances to beat the lucky shiny odds.
Ticket holders will also gain the benefit of increased chances for encountering shinies in general during GO Wild Area: Global, so this may also come in handy if you’re serious about the hunt.
How to Get Shiny Morgrem in Pokemon GO
The only way to obtain shiny Morgrem in Pokemon GO, as of GO Wild Area: Global 2025, is through evolution. This means that players must first get their hands on a shiny Impidimp and then meet the evolution requirements to evolve it into a shiny Morgrem.
In Pokemon GO, Impidimp evolves into Morgrem with the use of 25 Impidimp Candy. To collect the candy, you will need to farm captures of the Pokemon, and then transfer extras to the Professor. Once you have collected the required 25, simply go into your Impidimp’s profile and hit the ‘Evolve’ button.
How to Get Shiny Grimmsnarl in Pokemon GO
If players have a shiny Morgrem in Pokemon GO, they can evolve it into a shiny Grimmsnarl with the use of 100 Impidimp Candy. In addition to this, Gigantamax Grimmsnarl will appear as a boss for 6-Star Max Battles during the GO Wild Area: Global event, so if players are lucky enough to get their hands on a shiny encounter, then they will have the opportunity to add a shiny Grimmsnarl to their collection – one capable of using the G-Max mechanic!
How to Get Shiny Gigantamax Grimmsnarl in Pokemon GO
Gigantamax Grimmsnarl will be available as a 6-Star Max Battle boss. While the shiny odds are rare, it is possible to get a shiny Gigantamax Grimmsnarl from these Max Battles. To give themselves the best opportunity at beating the odds, players can farm multiple Max Battles in a row. This will provide as many chances as possible for one of the many that you encounter to show up as a shiny. Just make sure to stock up on important resources such as Potions, Revives, and Poke Balls.
