Golett, the automation Pokémon from Unova, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Golett can be shiny in Pokémon Go!
Golurk doesn’t really see use in PvE content, but it does get used quite a bit across the various PvP leagues. Keep your eye out for one with minimal attack but high defense and HP IVs to cause a ruckus in the leagues.
What is the shiny rate for Golett 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. Golett 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.
