How to Get Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee

Firstly, what’s the big fuss about Shiny Pokemon? Basically speaking, Shiny Pokemon are extremely rare versions of base Pokemon, although their bonuses are purely cosmetic, not offering any stat boosts in battle. There are Shiny versions of all 151 Pokemon in the PokeDex of Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee.

So how can you tell if a Pokemon is a Shiny version? Each Shiny Pokemon will look distinctly different to their basic counterpart. For example, a shiny Mew will be blue, standing out from its normal color. Shiny Pokemon have basically become collectors items over the past few years in Pokemon Go.
