Encountering Shiny Pokémon has always been a treat for the fans of "Pokémon" over the years as they appeared as special spawns for users and became one of the top-collected creatures in various games.

They have likewise been very popular at "Pokémon GO," and the game's latest "Bug Out" event features two new Shiny to catch.

These two featured Shiny Pokémon are also made easier to spot and catch in the wild, giving players more chances to come across them when they spawn.

'Pokémon GO' Spawns More of Two Shiny Pokémon

Spotting a Shiny on "Pokémon GO" has been challenging before as users need to be attentive to their surroundings and when exploring the wild to get a glimpse of the rare and unique version of known creatures. However, players will have less of a problem, according to ComicBook Gaming, particularly as the developers have made two Shiny Pokémon versions easier to come across and add to one's collection.

The first featured Pokémon that would have several of its Shiny versions available in the augmented reality game is Wurmple, a Bug-type creature that hails from the franchise's Generation III or the Hoenn region. The original color of Wurmple is red with white and yellow accents, but its Shiny version appears in the game with a dark purple primary color and the same accents.

Here's What the Bug-Type Shiny Pokemon Look Like

Wurmple can evolve to either Silcoon or Cascoon and then to Beautifly or Dustox. For Beautifly, the evolved Shiny version will feature a cream-colored body for the butterfly-like Pokémon, and will also feature a lighter shade of blue on its eyes.

On the other hand, Dustox would have the same body, but its color patterns found on its wings will feature a different one for its Shiny version.

Next up, Venipede is also featured as a special Shiny Pokémon in this special event, and the Bug-type creature that originally features the red color will now appear as sort of a muddy brown creature for its Shiny version.

That being said, its second evolution form, Whirlipede, will only deviate from its original color slightly, but Shiny Scolipede will now have a neon red color with blue stripes, which is different from its original red body and purple stripes.

'Pokémon GO' Bug Out Event Is for All Bug-type Lovers

The latest "Bug Out" event on "Pokémon GO" features the iconic Bug-type Pokémon creatures in the franchise, and they will be more apparent compared to other types when roaming the wild. Iconic Bug-type Pokémon like Caterpie, Weedle, and more will be the main types to spawn in the game, with special Raid events featuring the debut of Sizzlipede and Centiskorch.

During the event, players may expect double XP, more Candies to earn, and more when catching a Bug-type Pokémon with a Nice throw or better. Moreover, there is also a chance to earn Candy XL for creatures Level 31 or higher thanks to the latest event.
