How to Get Shiny Fidough in Pokemon GO
In Pokemon GO, shiny Fidough is now officially in the game, meaning it can be encountered by players. Fidough is generally available as a wild encounter, from Field Research Tasks, and has previously been a 1-Star Raid Boss. Moving forward, whenever Fidough is available through these methods, there will be a chance to stumble upon its shiny variant, if you are lucky.
However, the Precious Pals event is a brilliant opportunity to farm for shiny Fidough, as it not only is a highly featured specimen, but has boosted shiny rates during this event. By farming as many encounters or hatches as possible through these methods, Trainers can give themselves the most chances at potentially beating those lucky shiny odds.
Here is every way Fidough can be obtained during Precious Pal, meaning they can all lead to possible shinies:
- Wild encounters
- 2km Egg hatches
- Field Research Task rewards
- Collection Challenge rewards
- Precious Pals Premium Timed Research Task rewards
How to Get Shiny Dachsbun in Pokemon GO
Unlike Fidough, its evolution, Dachsbun, is not generally available to obtain through these methods. Instead, the only way to currently acquire Dachsbun in Pokemon GO is by first getting a Fidough and then evolving it.
The same approach is relevant to obtaining shiny Dachsbun – players must first acquire shiny Fidough and then evolve it into shiny Dachsbun. There will be no difference in the evolution requirements and method from evolving a regular Fidough, so all players will need is a stock of Candy.
How to Evolve Fidough into Dachsbun in Pokemon GO
To evolve Fidough into Dachsbun in Pokemon GO, players will need to acquire 50 Fidough Candy. Once the Candy is collected, players can begin the evolution process for their Fidough by opening its profile and clicking the ‘evolve’ button.
| Fidough | 50 Fidough Candy | Dachsbun |
