Can Growlithe be shiny in Pokemon Go?
Briefly

Growlithe, the Puppy and Scout Pokémon from Kanto, is available in Pokémon Go as a shiny variant with a catch rate of about one in 500. Both the standard and Hisuian versions of Growlithe share candy, allowing players to evolve and power up either version with the same candy. However, Growlithe is not confirmed to have a permaboost shiny rate, and shinies typically appear during specific events. Niantic controls the shiny catch rates, with no items available to boost these rates outside events like Community Days.
Growlithe can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go and has a shiny version, which is determined by a random catch rate.
Both Growlithe and its Hisuian version share candy for evolution and powering up, making it convenient for players.
