Pokemon Go has witnessed exponential growth in the past few months and it continues to be one of the most popular mobile games out there. In spite of the various travel restrictions and social distancing norms, the game is still played by players at large as the developers have made ample changes to the game according to the ongoing situation.

Every month, a number of new events and tasks make their debut in the game and players get a chance to get new Pokemon and earn some exciting new rewards. Right now, the Season of Legends is going on in the game and the Rivals Week has also kicked off, which will be celebrating Pokemon rivalries. The Season of Legends gives players a chance to get the Therian and Incarnate Formes of the Legendary trio, Thundurus, Landorus and Tornadus.

Can Mankey be Shiny in Pokemon Go? - Spotlight Hour April 2021

Just like every week, we will be having a Spotlight hour this week as well. For those who are unaware, Spotlight Hour is a weekly event in which one specific Pokemon appear more in the wild. This week's Pokemon for the spotlight hour is none other than the fighting Pokemon, Mankey.

As the Spotlight hour draws closer, many players are wondering whether if Mankey can be shiny in the game. The good news is, Mankey can indeed be shiny during the Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour. Although the rate of finding a shiny is very low, it is still worth looking out for one given its rarity.

It should be noted that only Pokemon which have their shiny variants available will have their shiny spawns available in the Spotlight hour. This means that if a Shiny version of the Pokemon isn't present in the game, then it will not be having a shiny variant in the Spotlight hour. Since Mankey has a shiny variant, players have a chance of getting the shiny version of Mankey in Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour.
