Can Doduo be shiny in Pokémon Go?
Doduo, the twin bird Pokémon from Kanto, is found in the wild in pokemon go. Yes, Doduo can glow inside pokemon go!

Doduo and its big brother Dodrio are blurry and neat, but they don’t see much meta relevance at all. If you’re still missing these in your Pokédex, you’ll want to grab them, but otherwise they’re of no use. 🙁 Shame.
What is the shiny rate for Doduo in Pokémon Go?
According to old research from the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback machine), the Shiny Speed for Pokémon is about one in 500 on a normal day. Doduo is not a Pokémon that gets a “permaboost” (meaning it is a rare spawn and thus gains an increased Shiny Speed).
What can I do to attract more Shiny Pokémon?
Not much, unfortunately. It seems to be a coincidence. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are determined by developer Niantic and usually only increase during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumables that increase the speed of Shiny Pokémon.
Where can I find a list of available Shiny Pokémon?
Leek Duck preserves a list of currently available Shiny Pokémon. It’s a handy visual guide that illustrates what all existing Shiny Pokémon look like.
