Yes, you can get both shiny Sunkern and Sunflora in Pokemon GO. However, like all shiny Pokemon, they are very rare.

The odds of any Sunkern you encounter in Pokemon GO being shiny is 1 in 500, or 0.2%. Then, to get shiny Sunflora, you need to evolve a shiny Sunkern.

If you are searching for a shiny Sunkern, there is no better time to catch one than during the Pokemon GO Sunkern Spotlight Hour on June 20, 2023. This is because Sunkern will be spawning much more frequently in the wild during this event.

Shiny Sunkern

Shiny Sunkern can be caught as a wild Pokemon and has a shiny rate of 1 in 500. Any Sunkern you encounter has this probability of being shiny.

The shiny version of Sunkern is almost identical to the normal version. It also has a yellow and green color scheme, but the yellow is slightly darker, and the green is lighter.
