Pokemon Go: Can you catch a shiny Tapu Bulu?

Many of the Pokémon in Pokémon Go has the option of appearing in their shiny form. These are special color variations of the normal Pokémon, and when they appear in combat, they have a distinct shine motion. Shiny Pokémon are exceedingly rare, although you can locate shiny versions of normal and legendary Pokémon throughout the game. In Pokémon Go, can you catch a shiny Tapu Bulu?

We can confirm that you will not be able to catch Tapu Bulu when it comes to Pokémon Go's five-star raids. Tapu Bulu will make its premiere from April 12 to 18 at the Spring Into Spring 2022 event. You and other trainers can team up during the event to try to catch Tapu Bulu in specific five-star raids. You can catch this Pokémon and add it to your collection by defeating it. The glossy version of Tapu Bulu will not be available because it is Tapu Bulu's first appearance.

This gleaming version should arrive the next time Tapu Bulu comes into the mobile game, which should be in around a year. Niantic, the game's developers, find themselves following this pattern with practically every Pokémon in the game, particularly legendary Pokémon. We recommend getting Tapu Bulu now, while you can, and then trying again in future five-star raids for a shining variant.
