Shiny Pokémon are rare versions of Pokémon in Pokémon Go that have modified looks. They are called shiny because they generally add a slight sheen, making them stand out more than the normal versions.

Shiny Rates

Apart from the Pokémon that don’t have shiny versions in the game, every Pokémon has a base shiny rate that tells you how often you’ll see its shiny version. Kyurem is a Legendary Pokémon, which typically has a shiny rate of1 in 20(about five percent). So, for every 20 Kyurem, you catch, you’ll probably only get one shiny version.

How to Get

There is no way to force a Shiny version of a Pokémon to appear. Instead, players must simply play the game and hope to run into one. However, players can use a few tricks to make it easier to get one.
