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. Magmar has returned as Spotlight Hour Pokémon in Dec. 2021, so that is the best chance to get a shiny version!
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 a shiny version. Although this information isunconfirmedfor them, Magmar typically has the standard shiny rate of1 in 500(about 0.20 percent). So, for every 500 Magmar 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 to hope to run into one. However, players can use a few tricks to make it easier to find them.
