How to recognize a Metamorph Shiny?
Available in a chromatic version from Pokémon Go's Kanto circuit on February 20, 2021, Metamorph can be recognized by its sky-blue color instead of pink, with small stars displayed near its name. The Shiny version in the wild has been available since September 1, 2021. There are, however, details that can help recognize a Metamorph Pokémon:
- If the Pokémon does not appear in its Shiny form, its Ditto may or may not be Shiny.
- On the other hand, if the Pokémon is already in its chromatic version, the Metamorph cannot have taken its form and is an ordinary Pokémon.
- In other words, Metamorph cannot be Shiny if the Pokémon it can take on the appearance of is already Shiny when captured. However, there is a chance that the Pokémon's normal appearance may hide a Shiny Metamorph at the time of capture. This is, of course, provided that the Pokémon is one of Metamorph's possible disguises.
These are just a few of the techniques you can use to effectively catch Metamorph Shiny in the Pokemon Go.
