In the latest Pokemon GO Spotlight Hour at the time of writing, players got the chance to catch more of the Balloon Pokemon, Jigglypuff - ultimately in hopes of catching a Shiny. But can you actually catch a Shiny Jigglypuff in Pokemon GO? Better yet, can you still catch one now the Spotlight Hour is over? Here is all you need to know in this Shiny Jigglypuff Pokemon GO guide.

Can You Catch Shiny Jigglypuff In Pokemon GO?

Yes, you can catch a Shiny Jigglypuff in Pokemon GO. Whilst the game's regular Spotlight Hour event increases the spawn rate of its featured Pokemon, it doesn't actually increase the chances of encountering its Shiny version.

So, the only difference the Spotlight Hour makes is that there's more chance of getting a Shiny just through increased trial and error. 

In the core game itself, Shiny Jigglypuff is still available to encounter in Pokemon GO. However, the odds of encountering a Shiny are just the standard of 1-in-500 (0.2%).

So, whilst you can find a Shiny Jigglypuff, you'll need a lot of luck - or wait until the Balloon Pokemon is featured in an event that does increase those odds of finding a Shiny, like the Larvitar Community Day in January.

That's all you need to know from our Shiny Jigglypuff Pokemon GO guide. For more new tips on the game, find out how you can catch a Shiny Jirachi in Pokemon GO. Looking for even more Shiny Pokemon? Why not take a look at if you can catch a Shiny Blitzle in Pokemon GO as well?
