Do you want to know if Axew can be Shiny in Pokemon Go? Axew is a Dragon-type Pokemon introduced to the world of Pokemon in Generation V. This powerful pocket monster will be the star of the new Pokemon Go‘s June 2023 Community Day. This means that Axew, as a star of the event, will spawn more in the wild, and Pokemon enthusiasts are wondering if this eponymous battle Pokemon will be available in a Shiny version. This guide will answer your question, can Axew be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Is Shiny Axew in Pokemon Go
Axew can be Shiny in Pokemon Go, but it is exceptionally rare. Luckily, during the June Community Day, which launches June 10 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. You will be able to find and get a Shiny Axew in the wild. However, everything comes down to luck. Shiny Axew, just like any other Shiny Pokemon, has only a 0.2% chance to appear in the wild, but with the event live, the odds become higher. According to sources, you will have the opportunity to get a Shiny Axew after every 25 spawns.
One thing you need to do is stock up on Poke Balls for the many Axew encounters awaiting.
Axew is a very potent Pokemon, especially its ultimate evolution, Haxorus. Now, if you get Faxure, the first Axew evolution, and evolve it to Haxorus during the event or up to five hours afterward, your Haxorus will have the Charged Attack: Breaking Swipe. This is a rather powerful attack with 50 power and a guarantee to lower the opponent’s Attack. However, evolving Axew is not easy. To get Faxure, you need to feed Axew 25 Candy, and Haxorus evolves at 100 Candy. This is a rather high number, but the good thing is that one of the bonus perks of the event grants 2× Candy for catching any Pokemon.
If you want Shiny Faxure and Haxorus, you will need first to catch Shiny Axew and then evolve for these to appear in different colors.
