Delibird, Johto's delivery Pokémon, can be found in the wild Pokémon Go. Yes, Delibird can shine with its Christmas ribbon accessory Pokémon Go!
Delibird doesn't see any use in PvP or PvE content, but who can say no to a cute little delivery penguin, especially if he has a bow on his head?
What is the shiny rate for Delibird in Pokémon Go?
According to old research from the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback machine), the shiny rate for Pokémon on a normal day is approximately one in 500. Delibird is not a confirmed Pokémon that receives a “permaboost” (meaning that it is a rare spawn and therefore receives an increased shiny rate).
It Is It is possible that at some events the Delibird Holiday Ribbon will have a higher shine rate depending on how you receive it. However, we cannot confirm at this time whether rates will be higher for a specific event.
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Unfortunately not much. It seems to be a coincidence. Catch rates for Shiny Pokémon are set by developer Niantic and are typically only increased during special events such as Community Days or Safari Zones, or during Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that increase the rate of Shiny Pokémon.
