Encountering red shinnies was one of my most thrilling experiences in Pokemon Go. Knowing how challenging it was to find even a single one, I still took the challenge and went for it.
I mean, who wouldn’t want to flex about finding one of the rarest Pokemon?
Stick around as we talk about how rare a red shiny is in Pokemon Go, as well as all the red shinnies that are available.
How rare is a red shiny in Pokemon Go?
Finding a red, shiny creature in Pokemon Go is very rare. From Generation III going forward, shiny Pokemon are determined by other factors such as personality value and the trainer ID number of the Pokemon.
The odds of randomly finding this Pokemon are very low 😔, despite this change.
All red shinnies in Pokemon go
Red Shiny Pokemon are one of the best 🏆 shinies in the entire franchise. The following list shows some of the red shinies in Pokemon Go.
- Heatmor: The previous color scheme of pale orange, brown, and red in the regular Heatmor was unappealing. However, in its shiny and bright new form, it appears to be dangerous 👹.
- Gyarados: The red coloring of Gyarados’ shiny form brought out its intimidating and aggressive personality.
- Clawitzer: It has white stripes and blue details and is mainly red, just like the American flag.
- Absol: The actual skin of this shiny animal turns bright red, making it more distinguishable from others.
- Crawbrawler: The shiny form of this Pokemon perfects whatever the original design was aiming for.
- Trevenant: Its single, piercing eyes 👀, talons, and sharp teeth, in their shining form, make it appear very terrifying.
- Solrock: Its shiny form is greater than that of any other Pokemon.
- Dusclops: With its bright red coloring, its shiny form takes on a world of its own.
- Weavile: In certain depictions, it is more of a magenta color, while in other versions, the shiny version is a solid red color.
- Grapploct: When the original colors, black and blue, are changed to white and red, we finally have a hero on our hands.
- Alolan Raticate: A normal Raticate has the color bright burnt orange in its shiny form. This is the reason the Alolan form falls in line with it.
- Glalie: Its blue eyes change to red when it’s shiny.
- Heliolisk: It is a cool lizard that is famous for making use of its hood to absorb sunlight for powering its electric attacks.
- Yvetal: It possesses the most evil color combination with red and black.
- Hawlucha: It normally has an amazing luchador appearance.
- Obstagoon: Shiny Obstagoon has transitioned from an all-black look to a sky-blue suit of armor and brilliant red fur.
- Breloom: It’s also referred to as the Mushroom Pokemon, which may be the reason why its shiny form is mainly red and its base form is mostly green.

Since I started playing Pokemon at a tender age, my love for the game kept growing. My passion is what inspired me to pursue video game journalism. This helped me gain immersive experience of 5 years. I have a lot of expertise in the gaming industry since I have been editing game-related content for a long time.
