Pokémon GO has introduced a handful of new Galar Shiny Pokémon. This guide will show players how to find and capture Shiny Galarian Weezing.

Shiny Galarian Weezing is being added to Pokémon GO. Shiny Pokémon are the most difficult Pokémon to encounter in Pokémon GO due to their extremely limited spawn chances. While Pokémon GO made it a bit easier to find them when compared to the mainline titles, it still requires luck to encounter them. As part of the upcoming Ultra Unlock Part 3 event in Pokémon GO, a handful of Galarian Pokémon will receive their Shiny forms for the first time. Among this group is Galarian Weezing, a bulky Fairy/Poison Pokémon with a foam mustache. This guide will show players how they can find and capture this Shiny Pokémon.

Galarian Weezing was one of the first region-specific Pokémon introduced with Pokémon Sword and Shield. Pokémon Sword and Shield continued the trend of creating regional variants of classic Pokémon. This includes Pokémon like Galarian Zigzagoon and Galarian Stunfisk. Since the Ultra Unlock Part 3 event in Pokémon GO will introduce a group of Galarian Pokémon from Sword and Shield, including the legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta, players will likely Shiny hunt for these new additions. Shiny Hunting is completely luck-based, but that's what makes it so exciting for some fans. It could take a few minutes to several months to find a single Shiny Pokémon. This guide will show players all the different ways they can increase their chances of finding a Shiny Galarian Weezing in Pokémon GO.

How To Find (& Catch) Shiny Galarian Weezing in Pokemon Go

Shiny Galarian Weezing will be added to Pokémon GO as part of the Ultra Unlock Part 3 event. This event begins on Friday, August 20th at 10 a.m. local time. Here are all the different ways players may potentially encounter it.

• In The Wild: Players may stumble across a Shiny Galarian Weezing while normally playing the game. It might be a pretty rare encounter in general, but players can use a Lure Module or Incense to increase the spawn rate of all nearby Pokémon, which will increase their chances of encountering Shiny Galarian Weezing.
• Raid Battles: During the first week of the Ultra Unlock Part 3 event, players will be able to battle Galarian Weezing in a 3-star raid battle. It is recommended to challenge this Pokémon with a group of two to three players to defeat it easily. Galarian Weezing's Shiny form will appear during the capturing phase.

It's interesting to see Niantic skip over Alola since it was the next region in the lineup. While it was a surprise to see Galar introduced to Pokémon GO so early, it leaves the question of when Alola will make its official debut. It might be a while, but Pokémon from Galar will surely keep players occupied until then.
