Can Smoliv be shiny in Pokemon Go?
Briefly

During the 2024 'Harvest Festival' event, players can catch Shiny Smoliv, known for its striking black olive appearance—distinct from its regular form. Although it lacks competitive relevance in the Pokémon meta, its shiny variant is popular among collectors.
Research from The Silph Road suggests a shiny catch rate of around one in 500 under normal circumstances. However, Smoliv is not classified as a 'permaboost' Pokémon, indicating it does not have increased shiny odds compared to other standard Pokémon.
Niantic sets shiny Pokémon capture rates, which typically only increase during special events such as Community Days, Safari Zones, or Legendary Raids. There are no items available within the game to enhance shiny rates.
LeekDuck maintains an updated list of shiny Pokémon currently available, providing trainers with a visual guide to the various shiny forms, including new additions like Shiny Smoliv.
