Shiny Nidorino Pokemon GO: How to Catch

Shiny Nidorino Pokemon GO is a rare find. When the opportunity presents itself, players should figure out the best route to catch one and bring it home. Fortunately, that opportunity presented itself on Mar. 1 during an exclusive raid event.

Nidorino and Gengar began to take over the raid sphere at 2 p.m. and continued to spawn rapidly until 5 p.m. As any seasoned trainer knows, when Pokemon get featured, their shiny variants are usually right around the corner. This was no exception for either of them.

While Nidorino was featured, its shiny version had a higher chance to appear in raids. The optimal way of finding one was to group up and run through as many gyms as you could in your area. If the chance to encounter a shiny is somewhere between 1:450 and 1:45, then clearly it took a lot of time and leg work.

For a lot of trainers, however, the work was well worth the pay off. Nidorino caught during this event had a fancy party hats which made them even more rare.

There are a few other methods to finding shiny Nidorino. It's pre-evolved form, the male Nidoran, commonly spawns near lakes and industrial areas. It typically enjoys cloudy weather. Therefore, finding a spot where it's likely to spawn and spending some time waiting could net you a shiny encounter. They can also be hatched from 2 km eggs.

After acquiring a shiny Nidoran, your next step would be to evolve it into Nidorino with 25 candies. Using this method after the raid event won't give you a party hat, however.

Lucky trainers may even encounter a shiny Nidorino on its own while they're out hunting. The most important thing is getting out there.

The overarching Pokemon Day Celebration event runs until Mar. 2.
