The goal of every Pokemon Go player is to catch them all, but if you have ever played the game, it is not that easy, is it? Sometimes, the Pokemon are just darn hard to locate, as with Sawk. The character is only found in a handful of areas across the globe, making it one of the most difficult to catch. If you are experiencing trouble with this Pokemon, read this guide on how to catch Sawk in Pokemon Go. It also answers whether Sawk can be shiny.
Pokemon Go: How to Catch Sawk & Can It Be Shiny?
Sawk is one of the more challenging Pokemon to catch because he is only found in a handful of locations across the globe. Players in Europe, Asia, and Australia can catch it in the wild, but if you are outside of this area, you will have to rely on trading to fill out your Pokedex. You can also hatch a Sawk from a 10km egg, but given the many kinds of Pokemon you can potentially hatch, the odds will be against you. That is why Sawk is considered a rare pokemon, as is the case for Tauros, Pachirisu, and Kangaskhan.
Can Sawk be shiny?
Yes, Sawk can be shiny but will have an appearance that’s similar to Galarain Darumaku (standard Pokemon appearance). However, instead of the usual cool blue color, Shiny will have a slightly purple tint. But don’t go expecting to catch shiny Sawk because of how incredibly rare they are. Even if they exist, they are probably a prized collection already.
