How to Find (& Catch) Shiny Buizel in Pokémon GO (Sinnoh Collection)

Shiny Buizel is the rarest Pokemon to appear during the Sinnoh Collection event in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how to capture it. Shiny Pokemon have always been a treat to come across in the Pokemon series. In Pokemon Go, collecting these creatures is easier than ever before. While still requiring lots of patience and Pokeballs, players are given more events than any other mainline title to capture these allusive creatures. For the Sinnoh Collection event, players will have the opportunity to capture a Shiny Buizel, with the chances being 1 out of 450 per encounter. Here are ways players can increase their chances to encounter a Shiny Buizel during the Sinnoh Collection challenge.

The Sinnoh Collection challenge will conclude on Sunday, January 17th. Up until that time, Sinnoh Pokemon will appear more frequently to help trainers capture them and complete this challenge. The only Pokemon that count towards the event are the ones that are capture, meaning Pokemon received from hatching eggs or trading don’t count towards the event. While Buizel is one of the Pokemon required to complete this challenge, players will still need to find another 8 Sinnoh Pokemon, including all 3 starters from the region. Here are a few ways players can increase their chances of finding a Shiny Buizel in Pokemon Go.

How To Find and Catch A Shiny Buizel in Pokemon Go (Sinnoh Challenge)

This time period is the best time to capture a Shiny Buizel. Here are a few ways players can encounter them. It’s important to mention that encountering a Shiny Buizel is completely up to chance. Good luck trainers!

• Complete The “Defeat 2 Team Rocket Go Grunts” Field Research.
• Encountering Buizel in the wild.
• Using Incense to increase spawn rates.

Players will need to hope that luck is on their side. The best way to speed up the process though is by selecting a wild Buizel and if it’s not Shiny, run away and keep searching. This is a great method for Shiny Hunting during Community Days. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to finally encounter the Shiny Buizel.

Pokemon Go will continue hosting collection events throughout the rest of the year. The Unova Collection event saw trainers capturing Pokemon from the fifth generation. It seems the game is going down the line until they reach the first generation with Kanto. With the Kanto Tour event right around the corner, it is best to participate in as many of these collection events as possible.

Pokemon Go is available now on iOS and Android.
