Now that you know what forms this strange purple creature might be hiding in.., keep an eye on the Exploration Follow-up.
Note, however, that catching one of the Pokémon mentioned above does not necessarily mean that a Metamorph is hiding behind it.
It's worth noting that when Metamorph Shiny was created, it was linked to a Special Search. So, to obtain them, you have two options:
- To be exchanged ;
- Or wait for future special research to bring it to light.
However, you can always try to catch it by catching the Pokémon mentioned in this article! Because yes, it's possible that a Metamorph Shiny is hiding behind it!
How do you attract a Metamorph?
Wondering what attracts a Metamorph? It's worth noting that Metamorph has no evolution and is not the evolution of any Pokémon!
- Use bait and incense: Metamorph can be captured with lures and incense. Go to a location and concentrate on the Pokémon on the list to see Metamorph come your way rather than going elsewhere.
- Metamorph is mainly found in a Pokémon Spawn. If you're looking for a Metamorph and another player finds one, you'll be able to catch it too.
- It is impossible to crack a lucky eggBut it can certainly increase your XP by doubling it for half an hour and a half.
- We've also noticed that it's easy to capture in nature in the Inverted Tortoiseshell lake region, or on Ula Ula island in the Arora region.
Indeed, these are just probabilities, but you can try your luck.
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 chromatic form, its Metamorph may or may not be chromatic.
- 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.
- Clearly, Metamorph cannot be chromatic if the Pokémon whose appearance it can take on is already chromatic at the time of capture. However, there is a probability that the Pokémon's normal appearance may conceal Metamorph chromatics at the time of capture. Provided, of course, 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.
