How To Get Shiny Ferroseed & Shiny Ferrothorn In Pokémon GO

Ferroseed Incense Day is an example of an event in Pokémon GO that gives players an increased chance of finding either a Shiny Ferroseed or Shiny Ferrothorn. These types of events typically increase the Pokémon's usual spawn rate and encounters, though only usually after completing specific tasks. Although players are still more likely to find and capture the regular versions of these Pokémon, Shiny versions are also more prevalent.

Ferroseed is a Grass and Steel-type Pokémon that evolves into Ferrothorn in Pokémon GO. This means that if you catch a Shiny Ferroseed, then you can eventually evolve it into a Shiny Ferrothorn. Finding a Shiny version of Ferroseed, or any other Pokémon for that matter, is easier said than done. It’s best to wait until major events, such as Forroseed Incense Day, to hunt for the Shiny version of the Pokémon, as there is a much higher chance of finding your desired target.
