Neither Dugtrio nor its Alolan variant have a lot to supply in terms of raiding and gymnasiums, however each of the shiny variants are fairly dang good.
What’s the shiny fee for Diglett and Alolan Diglett in Pokémon Go?
As per outdated analysis by the now-defunct web site The Silph Street (through Wayback Machine), the shiny fee for Pokémon on an everyday day is roughly one in 500. Diglett isn’t a confirmed Pokémon that will get a “permaboost” (that means that it’s a uncommon spawn and thus will get a boosted shiny fee).
It’s very seemingly that Alolan Diglett is permaboosted, since all of its Alolan pals (like Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Sandshrew) are additionally permaboosted, however this has not been confirmed, so we will’t say for sure.
What can I do to draw extra shiny Pokémon?
Not a lot, sadly. It seems to be random probability. Shiny Pokémon catch charges are set by developer Niantic, and they’re sometimes solely boosted throughout particular occasions like Group Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are not any consumable objects that increase shiny Pokémon charges.
The place can I discover a record of accessible shiny Pokémon?
LeekDuck retains a list of currently available shiny Pokémon. It’s a useful visible information that illustrates what the entire current shiny Pokémon appear like.
