What does shiny Bulbasaur, shiny Ivysaur and shiny Venusaur look like in Pokémon Go?

Finding a shiny form for the highlighted Pokémon is one of the biggest draws for any Community Day.

Coupled with the increased shiny rate for Community Days and how catching Pokémon of the same type naturally increases your chance of encountering shinies, it's easier to catch a collection of shinies during these events.

When it comes to actually finding a shiny Pokémon, you first need to start a catch encounter with a Pokémon in the wild. You'll then be able to tell if the Pokémon you're facing is shiny by its alternative colouring, the sparkles which shine at the start of the encounter and the shiny icon next to its name.

Shiny Bulbasaur is very similar to the regular version - with just a slightly different skin tone - while evolutions Ivysaur and Venusaur offer yellow plants on their backs:

If this is your first time facing the shiny form for a particular Pokémon, we recommend using Golden Razz Berries and Ultra Balls to increase your chances of catching it.

Shiny Bulbasaur is one of the early shiny releases Pokémon Go, being released as part its first Community Day back in March 2018.

If you want to evolve a shiny Bulbasaur, we recommend waiting till the end of the Community Day. This is because you might be lucky enough to catch multiple shiny Bulbasaurs and, if so, it's a good idea to check their IVs.

Doing so will not only give you a shiny Venusaur, but a powerful one and, if evolved before the 7pm (local time) on Community Day, it will know the exclusive move Plant Frenzy.

Community Day is the perfect opportunity to both find a rare Pokémon and transform it into a powerful fighter. Take the time to carefully pick and choose your Bulbasaurs, investing in its moveset, to make the most of this event.
