Pokemon GO debuts Shiny Galarian Articuno, Shiny Galarian Zapdos, and Shiny Galarian Moltres during the Galarian Expedition 2024 event. While the Standard variants were available for a long time, collectors were eager to get their hands on their Shiny counterparts. You can finally get all three of these Legendary Galarian Shinies through Daily Adventure Incense.
Legendary Shiny Pokemon are rare catches that require intense grinding to encounter. Even if you encounter a Legendary Shiny, the chances of it fleeing are high. But, the same cannot be said about the Legendary Bird trio; the developers have provided an advantageous situation for the Galarian Expedition 2024 event participants. That said, this guide details the best way to catch Shiny Galarian Articuno, Shiny Galarian Zapdos, and Shiny Galarian Moltres in Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO - All Ditto Disguises (February 2025)
You can find and catch a Pokemon GO Ditto and Shiny Ditto in February 2025 by following this detailed guide.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Galarian Articuno, Shiny Galarian Zapdos, & Shiny Galarian Moltres
Unlike other Legendary Shinies, you cannot get these Shiny Galarian bird trio as raid rewards. Pokemon GO trainers can only encounter Shiny Galarian Articuno, Shiny Galarian Moltres, and Shiny Galarian Zapdos using the Daily Adventure Incense in the wild. This Incense is available once a day, and you can access it at the top right of the game screen.
You can encounter Shiny Galarian Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos in the wild, but a Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. While that is the case, all three Shiny Galarian birds will not flee when you try to catch them. You must keep traversing through the map and use the Daily Adventure Incense regularly to increase your chances of a Shiny encounter.
The only challenging task is to encounter Shiny Galarian Articuno, Shiny Galarian Zapdos, and Shiny Galarian Moltres in Pokemon GO. You can use the Weather Boost effect to increase the chances of these Shiny Galarian birds spawning.
