How To Get Shiny Shadow Entei in Pokemon GO

For players wondering whether the shiny variant of Shadow Entei exists in the game, the good news is that it can indeed be caught in its rarest form. In order to get a shiny Shadow Entei, players will need to take part in as many Shadow Raids as possible. The odds are not that bad for getting a shiny, considering that Entei is a legendary Pokemon. The regular legendary odds of 1 in 20 apply to this Pokemon. However, it should be noted that the odds reset every time, so it doesn't necessarily mean every 20th Entei will be shiny. That being said, players can still ideally expect to find one in about 30 to 40 raids.

In order to distinguish between a regular and a shiny Shadow Entei, players need to pay close attention to its faceplate. Instead of red, it is a darker tone of gray, but the rest of the differences are quite difficult to spot. Alternatively, players can look for the shiny symbol near its CP.
