Shiny Oddish joins Pokémon Go for Safari Zone event

Shiny Oddish and the rest of its evolutions are now available in Pokémon Go, to supplement the Safari Zone event in Taiwan.

While players who attend the event in-person will have chances to catch rare regional Pokémon and Unown, Oddish spawn rates have increased around the world.

That said, if you wanted to try to collect a Shiny Bellossom or Vileplume, it’s best to get to your local Pokémon Go spots now and check out as many Oddish as you can — you can only get the Shiny versions of Bellossom or Vileplume from evolving a Shiny Oddish. Only Oddish will appear in the wild or hatch Shiny. If you spot a Gloom, Vileplume, or Bellossom in the wild somehow, they won’t appear Shiny.

Paired with the Stardust Burst event that begins later today, Oddish fans will be able to go and catch a bunch of the adorable shrubbery while benefiting from doubled catch Stardust. Hatching Pokémon, defeating Team Rocket grunts at PokéStops, and completing raids also rewards more Stardust.
