Trainers participating in the Sinnoh Global event can purchase a ticket for Masterwork Research leading to a Shiny Shaymin encounter. Additional details on this global Masterwork Research are expected to be released soon. For those attending the in-person event in Los Angeles with a purchased ticket, a special Masterwork Research will lead to an encounter with Shiny Shaymin.

However, the global version of Masterwork Research promises to be more challenging than its Los Angeles counterpart.

Shiny Rate Predictions

Image

Based on previous Pokémon GO Tour events, shiny rates for 2024’s global event could potentially be a slightly boosted 1 in 50 chance. The Kanto and Johto Tour events boasted impressive Shiny rates, approximately 1 in 50. During the Hoenn Event, shiny rates were increased for the in-person segment. However, during the Global Event, the boost only applied to certain Pokémon.

One of our trainers at Game8 reports to have gotten around 60-80 Shiny Pokémon for each weekend of the Kanto and Johto Tour events and 28 Shiny Pokémon during the Hoenn Global event.
