How to get Litten in Pokemon Go & can it be Shiny?

Starters are some of the players’ favorite Pokemon of all time and the cute Fire-type Litten from Gen 7 is no exception. This tiny cat will be featured in the upcoming Community Day, so here are all the ways you’ll be able to catch it and whether or not its Shiny version will spawn.

Litten is the Fire-type starter introduced in Pokemon Sun & Moon, alongside the Water-type Popplio and the iconic Grass-type Rowlet.

This Alolan creature was released into Pokemon Go in March 2022, when Gen 7 made its way into the game. Now, this cute ‘mon will have its own Community Day, where players will have plenty of chances to catch and evolve it.

If you’re eager to add a Litten to your collection in Pokemon Go, here are all your options, as well as whether or not its Shiny version will appear.

How to get Litten in Pokemon Go

There’s currently one way you can get a Litten in the game:

• As a wild encounter.

Previously, players were able to hatch it from 5 km Eggs and it even appeared after completing some Field Research Tasks such as “Take 6 snapshots of wild Pokemon: 6th Anniversary” or Special Research “Alola to Alola – 1st part: Catch 4 Pokemon”.

Now, players will see their chances increased during Litten’s Community Day which will take place on Saturday, March 16, 2024, from 2:00 PM until 5:00 PM local time.

How to evolve Litten into Torracat & Incineroar in Pokemon Go

Players can take advantage of Litten spawning constantly during the Community Day to evolve it all the way to its third stage.

First, you can evolve Litten into Torracat by using 25 Candy. Once you’ve got your Torracat, you can use another 100 Candy to turn it into the mighty fighter Incineroar.

As with all the starters from the game, there are no special requirements, items, or Buddy tasks for this evolution process. All you need to do is gather as much Candy as you can.

Can Litten be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
