Yes, you can catch the shiny version of Grubbin in Pokemon GO, following its addition to the game on September 23, 2023.
Any Grubbin you encounter in Pokemon GO, whether that is from a wild spawn or as a Research reward, has a very low chance of being shiny.
If you are searching for a shiny Grubbin, there’s no better time to catch one than during the September 2023 Pokemon GO Grubbin Community Day event. This is because Grubbin will be spawning in the wild much more frequently.
Grubbin Shiny Odds
The odds of Grubbin being shiny in Pokemon GO are 0.2%, or 1 in 500. This is the standard shiny odds for Pokemon.
This shiny rate means that, on average, you’ll need to encounter 500 Grubbin before you find the shiny version.
What Color is Shiny Grubbin?
The shiny version of Grubbin has a red head, red pincers, and a gray face. This makes it stand out from the standard version of Grubbin, which has an orange head and pincers, and a brown face.
However, both versions of Grubbin have a white body.
