When it comes to catching a Pokémon, there’s nothing better than coming across a Shiny version, especially in Pokémon Go. With Marshadow making its debut during the Pokémon Go Fest 2024 Global event, many players are curious to see if they can catch a Shiny version.

It’s important to note that Marshadow is a Mythical Pokémon, meaning it will only appear during special events. To ensure you get it when it first goes live, purchase a Pokémon Go Fest 2024 Global ticket before the event. Purchasing a ticket will guarantee that everyone who has one will get a Marshadow, but don’t expect to find one during the event since Shiny versions are so rare.

We can confirm that the Shiny version will not be available for Marshadow's debut during Pokémon Go Fest 2024. The Shiny version for Marshadow is expected to appear in a future event, likely as a paid Masterwork research, similar to those for other Mythical Pokémon like Celebi or Jirachi.

Niantic celebrates the Shiny forms of Mythical Pokémon by reintroducing them years later. For example, Jirachi debuted on August 20, 2019. Niantic later introduced the Shiny version in a Special Research ticket that players could purchase in early 2023. It was the Masterwork Research story for the Pokémon Go Tour celebrating the Hoenn region.
