Smoliv, Paldea's olive Pokémon, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Smoliv can shine in Pokémon Go!
Shiny Smoliv made his debut during the 2024 “Harvest Festival” event. None of the Smoliv family sees uses in any meta, but he has a pretty good shine. The black olives are different and complement it well!
What is Smoliv's shine rate in Pokémon Go?
According to old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shine rate of Pokémon on a typical day is about one in 500. Smoliv is not a confirmed Pokémon to get a “permanent boost.” ” (meaning it is a rare spawn and therefore gets an improved shine rate).
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Unfortunately, not much. It seems to be a coincidence. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are set by developer Niantic and usually only increase during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in legendary raids. There are no consumable items that increase Shiny Pokémon rates.
