Wild Encounters
Shiny Gothita can appear in the wild, especially during events when its spawn rate is boosted. To maximize your chances:
- Use Incense to increase the number of Pokémon spawning around you as you move.
- Place Lure Modules on PokéStops or Gyms to attract more Pokémon, including Gothita.
- Hunt during windy weather, which boosts Psychic-type spawns like Gothita.
- Focus efforts during events that feature Gothita, as these often have increased Shiny rates.
5 km Eggs
Gothita is included in the 5 km Egg pool during certain events[2][5]. Hatching as many 5 km Eggs as possible during these times increases your odds, since Egg hatches can have higher Shiny rates than wild encounters[2][5]. Use multiple incubators to maximize the number of Eggs you hatch.
Other Sources
Occasionally, Gothita may appear in Raid battles, Field Research tasks, or as a GO Battle League reward, but these methods are less consistent for Shiny hunting.
It can also be featured in special events and have dedicated Spotlight Hours like you can find in the game this week (June 2025).

The only way to obtain a Shiny Gothorita is to evolve a Shiny Gothita. This requires 25 Gothita Candy.
How to get Shiny Gothitelle in Pokemon GO
Similarly, Shiny Gothitelle can only be obtained by evolving a Shiny Gothorita, which costs 100 Gothita Candy.
Tips for hunting Shiny Gothita in Pokemon GO
- Play actively during events that feature Gothita, as the increased spawns dramatically improve your odds.
- Stack Incense and Lure Modules, especially in areas with multiple PokéStops.
- Prioritize hatching 5 km Eggs when Gothita is available in the pool, as this can be more efficient than wild hunting.
