Carvanha, the savage Pokmon from Hoenn, can be found in the wild in Pokmon Go. Yes, Carvanha can be shiny in Pokmon Go!As of writing this, Carvanha and Sharpedo have pretty low value, but when its Mega Evolution does get added to Pokmon Go, it will probably serve as both a pretty good water- and dark-type attacker. While the model for it is in the game files, its not actually available yet. What is the shiny rate for Carvanha in Pokmon Go?As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokmon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Carvanha is not a confirmed Pokmon that gets a permaboost (meaning that its a rare spawn and thus gets a boosted shiny rate).What can I do to attract more shiny Pokmon?Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pokmon catch rates are set by developer Niantic, and they are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that boost shiny Pokmon rates.Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokmon?LeekDuck keeps a list of currently available shiny Pokmon. Its a helpful visual guide that illustrates what all of the existing shiny Pokmon look like.For more tips, check out Polygons Pokmon Go guides.
