Pokemon GO occasionally features Shedinja presenting an opportunity to catch the Pokemon. Events like the Bug Out 2025 bring Shedinja as a Research task and Collection Challenge reward. These featured events are the best bet for trainers looking to complete their Pokedex.

Shedinja is a dual Bug and Ghost-type Pokemon with a maximum CP of 445. The Pokemon has no evolutionary line and is a rare catch in the game. Shedinja is among the few Pokemon that you can only get by completing Research tasks and Collection Challenges. Lucky players can also get a Shiny Shedinja instead of a Regular variant. That said, this guide details the best way to get Shedinja and Shiny Shedinja in Pokemon GO.
