Binacle, the two-handed Pokémon from Kalos, is found in the wild Pokemon Go. Yes Binacle can shine in it Pokemon Go!
Binacle is primarily a Pokédex filler Pokémon, as neither it nor its evolution has much use in either PvE or PvP content. It costs 50 Binacle Candy to evolve into a Barbaracle. So grab what you need and leave the hand Pokemon alone.
What is the Shiny Rate for Binacle in Pokemon Go?
According to old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokémon is about one in 500 on a normal day. Binacle is not a Pokémon that gets a “permaboost” (meaning it’s a rare spawn and therefore gets an increased shiny rate).
What can I do to attract more Shiny Pokémon?
Unfortunately not much. It seems to be a coincidence. Shiny Pokemon catch rates are set by developer Niantic and usually only increase during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or during Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that increase the rate of Shiny Pokemon.
Where can I find a list of available Shiny Pokemon?
