How To Get A Shiny Oranguru In Pokemon GO?
Pokemon GO Oranguru appears as a wild spawn, as a Research task reward, and occasionally as a 3-Star Raid Boss. The developers at Niantic often rotate Raid Bosses, so remember that the monster is not always available. In-game events featuring Oranguru can boost your chances of encountering a Shiny Oranguru.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Oranguru As A Wild Spawn
You can encounter a Shiny Oranguru as a wild spawn, especially during events featuring its Standard variant. Keep in mind that the game doesn’t guarantee a Shiny encounter; you must encounter several Oranguru and try to match its wild Shiny odds.
Niantic provides different items that can notably increase wild Pokemon spawn rate. Pokemon GO Incense and Lure Modules need manual activation, but the Weather Boost effect is passive and boosts wild monster spawn rate in specific weather areas.
- Oranguru spawns more in partly cloudy and windy weather areas
- Find a PokeStop in such weather
- Attach a Lure Module to that PokeStop
- Once done, activate an Incense and walk around the area of effect
This strategy can stack the items' effects and boost the wild Oranguru spawn rate. It can work even better during events featuring Oranguru.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Oranguru As A Research Task Encounter
Events such as the 2024 Pokemon GO Research Day Oranguru and Passimian event that features Oranguru come with numerous Research quests. Completing specific Research tasks can reward a Shiny Oranguru encounter. While the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed, developers often increase the chances of getting a Shiny through Research tasks during such events.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Oranguru As A Raid Reward
Oranguru comes as a 3-Star Raid Boss during events like the Psychic Spectacular event. Those who win the raid have the possibility of encountering a Shiny Oranguru in Pokemon GO. While the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed, winning numerous raids can help you encounter several Oranguru and match its Shiny odds. Select powerful counters that have moves that align with Oranguru’s weaknesses. Make sure that your counters can also trigger the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) effect upon attacking.
