The Sinnoh region’s Pachirisu is available for trainers to find in Pokemon Go, but it’s certainly one of the hard monsters to find. So, let’s break down how to find Pachirisu in Pokemon Go and whether or not it can be Shiny.

Electric-type Pokemon Pachirisu might seem diminutive, but the ‘EleSquirrel’ Pokemon can pack a punch in Pokemon Go.

Pachirisu might seem a bit underwhelming to some players, but it actually performs surprisingly well in Pokemon Go’s PvP Great League.

With that said, let’s take a look at how Go players can obtain Pachirisu, and whether trainers can find a Shiny version.

How to get a Pachirisu in Pokemon Go

Pachirisu can be found in the wild, but this Electric-type Pokemon can only spawn in Canada, Russia, and Alaska.

The Sinnoh-region Pokemon is one of several regional exclusive Pokemon in the game. This means that it can only be found in certain regions of the world.

For those who don’t live in any of those areas, it’s a good idea to keep on the lookout for special events like Community Day or raids. Aside from trades, special events and raids are good alternatives for those who need regional-exclusive Pokemon.

Luckily, Pachirisu can be hatched from 10km Eggs during the Sinnoh Tour 2024 event, alongside other regional-exclusives like Chatot and Carnivine.

Can Pachirisu be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Pachirisu can be found as a Shiny in Pokemon Go. Shiny Pachirisu made its debut during the Sinnoh Tour 2024 event alongside a handful of other Pokemon.

Trainers who live outside Canada, Russia, and Alaska should do their best to take advantage of Pachirisu’s limited availability before the event ends on February 25, 2024 at 6 PM local time.
