Dodoala shiny: what does it look like?
For the first time since the game’s launch, you’ll have the chance to come across a chromatic Dodoala. Here’s what its shiny form looks like if you’re curious: the difference is very slight since its fur doesn’t change. What you have to look at is the piece of wood it holds in its paws, it’s white instead of brown.
List of Pokémon appearing in the wild
Throughout the event, the following creatures will appear more frequently in the wild. They are all available as shiny except for Bacabouh. They are also all available as Field Research rewards except for Munna.
