Teddiursa, the little bear Pokémon from Johto, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Teddiursa can be shiny in Pokémon Go!
While these Pokémon aren’t used in raids or gyms, Ursaring does see some PvP use, especially if it’s a shadow Ursaring. Ursaluna also has a tricky evolution requirement, where it needs to be evolved on the night of a full moon.
What is the shiny rate for Teddiursa 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. Teddiursa 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.
