The next Community Day has been announced and we’ll be seeing the little Hoppip swarming out whereabouts next February! But the first thing on all of our minds is: is there a shiny Hoppip in Pokemon GO? Well we’re in luck, there is indeed a shiny Hoppip in the game. And thus there’s a shiny Jumpluff ready for you to get!
It’s no secret that some shiny Pokemon are disappointing, some having barely any noticeable colour differences. Whereas, Jumpluff goes from blue to a very cute and distinct pink. But how do you know when you’ll see a shiny Hoppip? Well shiny Hoppip is a bright green, opposed to its regular pink.
