Capturing shiny Pokémon in any Pokémon game comes with quite a flake of luck and a lot of patience. It's never an easy process. In Pokémon Become, the standard Pokémon have a 1 in 500 hazard of being a shiny version when you lot encounter them if they're available in the game. Even if a Pokémon has been added, it does not release with its shiny variant. Instead, developer Niantic releases a shiny version alongside the weekly and big events in the game. For those eager to kickoff hunting the shiny version of Smeargle, this Pokémon's shiny version is releasing on April 29 at x AM in your local fourth dimension zone, aslope the New Pokémon Snap effect in Pokémon Go.

When the event drops in your local fourth dimension zone, shiny Smeargle will be added to the game, and anybody has the chance to capture it. The but style to encounter a Smeargle is to have snapshots of your Pokémon or the wild ones you're about to catch. Smeargle appears in the snapshot, photobombing the scene, and then you lot can capture it yourself after you've taken the snapshot. This is the only manner to capture Smeargle, so once it no longer shows up in your snapshots, y'all'll have to wait for the next effect for this Pokémon to make its next advent.

You can catch a shiny Smeargle in hereafter events, following the New Pokémon Snap one in Pokémon Become. The shiny version will not an consequence-exclusive 1. Any time Smeargle has the chance to announced in snapshots will be an opportunity to see the shiny version.

Information technology has not been confirmed if the odds will be the same as the standard Pokémon, a one out of 500 chance, or if it will be more closely aligned to the raid Pokémon, where players have a ane out of 20 hazard of encountering a shiny version.
