Pokemon GO: How to Catch Shiny Doduo & Evolve It

Pokemon GO features a variety of events that spotlight certain Pokemon. These events not only increase the spawn rate of the featured Pokemon but also boost the chances of encountering its shiny variant. This guide will explain how to catch a shiny Doduo in Pokemon GO and evolve it into a shiny Dodrio.

Doduo and Dodrio

 Doduo is a dual Normal and Flying-type Pokemon with a maximum CP of 1357. Its stat spread consists of 158 ATK, 83 DEF, and 111 STA. When evolved into Dodrio, its CP and stats increase significantly, making it a competent fighter in battles. Shiny Doduo and Dodrio have the same stats as their standard counterparts but feature different colors.

During events that feature Doduo, its spawn rate in the wild increases. To maximize the chances of encountering a shiny Doduo, players can use the following strategies:

1. Lure Modules: Attach Lure Modules to nearby PokeStops to attract more Doduo spawns.
2. Incense: Activate an Incense to increase the number of Doduo appearing around the player.
3. Weather Boost: Doduo spawns more frequently in partly cloudy and windy weather. Find a PokeStop or Gym with these weather conditions and explore the area.

By combining these methods, players can significantly boost Doduo's spawn rate and improve their chances of finding a shiny variant.

Obtaining Shiny Doduo from Research Tasks

Another way to obtain a shiny Doduo is by completing specific Research tasks during events like the Flock Together Research Day. These tasks may reward players with a Doduo encounter, which has a chance to be shiny. While the shiny encounter is not guaranteed, completing multiple Research tasks can help players match the shiny odds for Doduo.

Once players have caught a shiny Doduo, they can evolve it into a shiny Dodrio using Pokemon GO Candies. The evolution requires 50 Doduo Candies, which can be obtained by catching and transferring numerous Doduo. It is recommended to take advantage of the increased spawn rates during events to collect the necessary Candies quickly.
