Can Pidove Be Shiny In Pokémon Go?

Beginning on August 30th, the fifth session of Pokémon GO's weekly August 2022 Spotlight Hour will offer Pidove as the featured Pokémon with increased spawn rates. As a result, this creature will show up in the wild more frequently and be easier for trainers to capture. In addition, Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour is well known for its increased Shiny variant spawn rates. Because of this, a lot of trainers want to know if Pidove comes in the shiny form or not. Let's get into the details now without further ado.

Is Pidove Shiny in Pokémon GO August Spotlight Hour?

Pidove, a Pokémon of the normal and flying types, is susceptible to rock, electric, and ice attacks. Fortunately, the game includes a shiny version of Pidove, meaning that both of its evolutions, Tranquil and Unfezant, can also be shiny. Trainers can always light an incense stick to raise the likelihood of coming across a Shiny Pidove. The standard chance of running into a shiny Pokémon is 1 in 4096. As a result, after every 4,096 encounters, trainers are more likely to find a shiny Pokémon. During the Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour, though, you are more likely to find a Shiny version of the featured Pokémon.
