Catching a Shiny Charmander is the first step toward obtaining its evolved forms, Charmeleon and Charizard. There are several methods to increase the chances of encountering a Shiny Charmander in Pokemon GO.

  • Weather Boost: As a Fire-type Pokemon, Charmander's spawn rate increases during sunny weather. Players should explore areas with sunny conditions to enhance their chances of finding a Shiny Charmander.
  • Lure Modules and Incense: Lure Modules and Incense can boost Pokemon spawn rates. Players can attach a Lure Module to a PokeStop or Gym during sunny weather and activate an Incense while walking around the area. This method stacks the effects of these items upon the weather boost function and can significantly increase the chances of encountering a Shiny Charmander.
  • Community Day Events: Charmander has been featured in multiple Community Day events in Pokemon GO. During these events, the spawn rate of Charmander is dramatically increased, making it an excellent opportunity to hunt for its Shiny variant.
