Pokemon Go fans can get their hands on Generation 5’s Electric/Flying-type Pikachu clone, Emolga. Here’s how trainers can get Emolga and whether or not it can be Shiny.
Pokemon Go’s Charged-Up Research Day event focuses on various Electric-type Pokemon including Chinchou, Electrike, Plusle, and Minun.
However, another featured Electric-type is Emolga, the Sky Squirrel Pokemon that debuted in Pokemon Black & White.
Trainers looking to build up a collection of Emolga can find out where to get them and whether or not it can be Shiny down below.
How to get Emolga in Pokemon Go
The most straightforward way to encounter Emolga in Pokemon Go is to simply find it in the wild. While this is up to random chance, it’s a somewhat reliable way to encounter the Electric-type.
Trainers who participated in the Charged-Up Research Day even could also find Emolga more commonly in the wild. The event took place on Sunday, March 3, 2024, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time.
Can Emolga be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Currently, Emolga cannot be found as a Shiny in Pokemon Go. While other Electric-type Pokemon like Chinchoe, Electrike, Blitzle, Joltik, and Helioptile have their Shiny forms in Pokemon Go, Emolga does not.
We will keep this guide updated whenever Emolga finally gets its Shiny form added to Pokemon Go in the future.
