Can Shuppet be shiny in Pokemon GO is one of the more sought after answers this week.

Niantic Labs chose Shuppet to be the next Pokemon featured in Spotlight Hour last Tuesday, Oct. 20. This pure ghost-type made its debut with the Halloween 2017 event alongside other Hoenn region Pokemon. However, its shiny variant did not see a game-wide release until12 days later on Oct. 31. It has since been one of the more common encounters during the dusk and night time hours, according to trainers.
