Is Avalugg Shiny in Pokémon Go?

The world of Pokémon Go has been entertaining players for years, offering a vast array of characters to catch and train. Among the Ice-type Pokémon, Avalugg stands out as a unique and impressive species. The question, however, arises: Can Avalugg be shiny in Pokémon Go?

Getting to Know Avalugg

Before we dive into the world of shinnies, let’s take a closer look at Avalugg. As a Ice/Ground-type Pokémon, it has an average defense power and relatively high HP. Its movepool includes Blizzard, Rock Blast, Earthquake, and Stone Edge, making it a formidable opponent on the battlefield. With its slow but reliable movements, Avalugg excels at defense and wears down opponents through sheer tankiness.

Shinnies: What’s the Chance?

Avalugg’s shininess is somewhat rare, just like the elusive and enchanting sparkle that shatters the screen when encountering this rare marvel. To obtain a shiny Avalugg, you will need to get your hands on a Shiny Bergmite, which then evolves into Shiny Avalugg. We’ll dive into the ways to increase the chances of encountering Shiny Bergmites in a later section. For now, let’s focus on understanding the intricacies of Shiny mechanics.

Rarity Rates and Evolution Chains

In the world of Pokémon Go, the chances of encountering shinnies range from about 1% (for certain shinies, like Clefairy or Sandshrew) to 1:45000 (for others like Eevee or Shiny Squirtle). For Bergmite, which Avalugg evolves from, the spawn rate hovers around 1.7%, significantly higher than the base Shininess. Shiny Bergmites, when captured, yield a Shiny Avalugg when evolved using Rugged Badge, Soot Satchel, or any Candies (Bergmite). Now, calculating the exact Shininess of Bergmite’s offspring, as well as Shiny Avalugg’s own spin-off ratios, involves several factors we’ll examine momentarily.

Shininess Ratios for Evolutionary Routes

Assume you know the average Base Shininess ( 1%) and Evolutionary Spawn Rate ( 1.7%) of Bergmite. If these values get multiplied by their respective rarity rates (Avalugg’s shininess), an interesting equation develops:

(Rarity rate (Avalugg’s) / Base Shininess ( 1%) × (Evolutionary Spawn Rate (1.7%) / Normal Spawn Rate)
= Rarity rate of encountering Shiny Avalugg ( ???% )

So, how often will you get a Shiny Avalugg?

Assuming that Rarity rate of encountering Shiny Avalugg remains near 2.86% (1.7% × 0.1634%) and your Bergmite happens to evolve into an Avalugg 50 times, here are the math results for our hypothetical game:

1,000 instances × 50 instances/Avalugg instance × ( 0.1634% × 2.86% )
≈ 27.13

Expected instances of encountering a Shiny Avalugg out of 1,000 instances, or 1 in every 37 captures**.
To boost those chances and maximize the yield of a Shiny Avalugg:

• Use various berries or candy on a Bergmite before evolution;
• Save up enough candies for specific Rugged Badges to facilitate evolution
• Make liberal use of Shiny Charm

Fascinating Features of Avalugg

If you find an Avalugg with fascinating features—like enhanced movesets, unique weather patterns, or even in unique research-specific PvE and PvP contexts—wouldn’t the thrill increase? Who can resist catching that enchanting, gem-like spark whenever encountering something new and peculiar?

Remember, rare discoveries are hidden in caves of uncertainty.
