There it is! Ponyta’s shining blue flame is widely regarded as one of the most iconic shinies in the franchise. Although Rapidash ditches the bright blue for more soft silver, it’s still a good one to add to your collection.
What is the shiny rate for Ponyta in Pokémon Go?
According to The Silph Roadon a typical day, the Shiny Speed for Pokémon is about one in 500. Ponyta 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.
