The Houndour family takes on a nice shade of blue over their usual colors, but Houndoom in particular has a Mega Evolution. If you get a chance to get your hands on a bunch of Houndour, you should take advantage of it and try to find one with high IVs so you can Mega Evolve it later on.
What is the shiny rate for Houndour in Pokémon Go?
According to The Silph Roadon a normal day, the Shiny Speed for Pokémon is about one in 500. Houndour 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.
