While Pokemon Go is full of rare and valuable Pokemon that every player hunts, Ultra Beasts have a special place in every trainer’s collection. Coming from the Ultra Dimension and as powerful as Legendary Pokemon, these pocket monsters make for serious opponents in Raid Gums and a valuable ally in any battle. And although Wormholes are rare, these portals are open again. Almost a year later, Kartana and Celesteela returned to the gaming world as the main bosses of 5-star raids, and the players had a logical question. Can Kartana be shiny in Pokemon Go? Here, you will find the answer.
Can You Catch Shiny Kartana in Pokemon Go
If you’re looking for the short answer, then No, Kartana cannot be shiny in Pokemon Go. It is a little disappointing but not surprising. This Pokemon first appeared in the Pokemon Go game world on September 13, 2022. In addition, he was only available in the Southern Hemisphere as a regional raid boss. So it would be strange to see a Shiny version just a year later during the first world release.
However, the absence of a unique coloring of this Pokemon does not make it less valuable. Very few players can boast of this pocket monster so you can be one of the first lucky ones in your region. After all, from September 1 to September 8, 2023, in the Northern Hemisphere and from September 8 – 16 in the Southern Hemisphere, you can meet Kartana in all 5-star raid gyms.
In addition, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm local time on September 6 in the Northern Hemisphere and September 13 in the Southern Hemisphere, you can participate in the Kartana Raid Hour. All raid gyms in the city will turn into 5-star Kartana Raid, and you will have the best chance to add this Pokemon to your collection. However, to defeat this Ultra Beast, you must assemble a strong team of trainers and suitable Pokemon. As a Grass and Steel-type Pokemon, Kartana is weak against Fire and Fighting-type attacks. Here are some of the best counters:
- Chandelure: Incinerate, Overheat.
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat.
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat.
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn.
- Flareon: Fire Spin, Overheat.
- Charizard: Fire Spin, Blast Burn.
That’s all you need to know about Shiny Kartana Pokemon Go. Unfortunately, all we can do is wait. But as soon as Niantic adds a new coloration of this origami Pokemon to the game, we will let you know.
