Yungoos and its evolution, Gumshoos, are mostly just “dex-filler Pokémon.” As the respective early game “pest” or rodent in their region, they won’t see much action in raids or anything like that. At least they have a cute pink shiny shape!
What is the shiny rate for Yungoos 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. Yungoos is not a confirmed Pokémon that gets a “permaboost” (meaning it’s 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.
