Machop, the superpower Pokémon from Kanto, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Machop can be shiny in Pokémon Go!
Machop’s evolution, Machamp, is an excellent fighting-type Pokémon for taking down Team Go Rocket grunts and clearing out gyms. It’s definitely worth having a gaggle of these things to make quick work of any opposing Pokémon in your way.
What is the shiny rate for Machop in Pokémon Go?
As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokémon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Machop is not a confirmed Pokémon that gets a “permaboost” (meaning that it’s a rare spawn and thus gets a boosted shiny rate).
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are set by developer Niantic, and they are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that boost shiny Pokémon rates.
Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokémon?
LeekDuck keeps a list of currently available shiny Pokémon. It’s a helpful visual guide that illustrates what all of the existing shiny Pokémon look like.
