Is Shiny Pikipek in Pokemon Go?

Pikipek is a Flying/Normal-type Pokemon, which makes it vulnerable to Electic, Ice, and Rock-type opponents. However, despite its drawbacks, Pikipek is still a highly-sought Pokemon, thanks to its abilities and valuable attacks.

Pikipek has only been a part of Pokemon Go since March 2022 as it was introduced as part of the Season of the Alola. Unfortunately, for now, this Alola Pokemon doesn’t have a Shiny variant. Boo.

However, since it is a rather new addition to the game, there is a chance that Shiny Pikipek will be added in the future. Various new ‘mon and forms are always being put in with new updates and seasons so it’s not out of the question to believe fans will get it someday. As for when, who knows?

There you have it. For now, Shiny Pikipek is not available in Pokemon Go. We’ll update this if this ever changes. For now, you’ll just have to make do with its regular form.
