Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Rufflet
Pokemon GO trainers have boosted probability of encountering a Shiny Rufflet during featured events like the Flock Together Research Day. The monster comes as a wild spawn and a Research task encounter. One can use different in-game items to increase their chances of a Shiny encounter further.
Pokemon GO: Catch Shiny Rufflet As A Wild Spawn
Since in-game events featuring Rufflet increase the monster’s wild spawn rate, players can use it to match Rufflet’s Shiny odds. When activated, Pokemon GO items like Incense and Lure Modules can increase the wild spawn rate. In addition, players can also tap into the Weather Boost function to spawn more wild Rufflets.
The Normal and Flying-type Rufflet spawns more in areas with partly cloudy and windy weather conditions. Find a PokeStop or Gym with partly cloudy and windy weather, attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module, activate an Incense, and traverse around that specific spot. Doing so can stack their effects and significantly increase Rufflet spawn rate in the wild, especially during featured events. The increased Rufflet spawn rate might help catch up to its Shiny odds quicker.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Rufflet As A Research Task Reward
Pokemon GO events featuring Rufflet, like the Flock Together Research Day offer Research tasks that may reward a Shiny Rufflet encounter. While completing these Research tasks can reward a Shiny Rufflet, the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. One must still try to match the monster’s Shiny odds to have a chance.
