Here's Whether There's a Shiny Furfrou in Pokemon Go Valentine's Event

Furfrou recently made its debut in Pokemon GO’s Fashion Week event, and is now back for the Valentine’s Day event. It is certainly one of the most interesting Pokemon released in the game for a while.

Being a fashion-conscious Poodle Pokemon, Furfrou can be found with a variety of different trims.

It will be appearing during the Valentine’s Day event alongside many more related creatures, including a Flabebe, Floette, Florges, Roselia and more.

One of the more important questions for players, however, is whether or not the debuting Furfrou can be Shiny in Pokemon GO. Let’s take a look.

What Does Shiny Furfrou Look Like?

As there are many different forms of Furfrou, there are many different Shiny colour variations, however, the most common will of course be its Natural Form.

Normally, Furfrou is a white poodle-like Pokemon but that changes drastically in its Shiny form. Furfrou changes from its usual white colour to a more purple/black-ish colour.

Can Furfrou Be Shiny In Pokemon GO?

Unfortunately for Shiny hunters, it’s not good news.

Despite debuting back last year, Niantic hasn’t added shiny Furfrou into the game for the new Valentine’s Day event.

Instead, however, what they have done is added a new trim that the Pokemon can receive called the “Heart Trim”. Players can get this by spending 10,000 Stardust and 25 Furfrou Candies in the Pokemon’s own screen.

The following is a list of all featured Pokemon that can be shiny during the event window:
