How to get Giratina Origin Forme in Pokemon Go and can it be Shiny?

Legendary Pokemon are the most sought-after in any game of the franchise and Giratina Origin Forme is one of the best ones for Pokemon Go due to its powerful offensive and killer moveset. Here’s how to get one in Niantic’s mobile game and whether or not it can be Shiny.

The Creation Trio made up of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, was introduced with Gen 4’s Sinnoh region, and they are one of the few Legendary groups where all their Pokemon members have alternative forms.

Despite Giratina Origin Forme being introduced to Pokemon Go back in 2019, it’s now making a comeback to Raid Battles and Raid Hours to celebrate the debut of both Origin Forme Dialga and Origin Forme Palkia.

This magnificent dual Ghost/Dragon-type Pokemon sits in the top 10 beasts to use in the highly competitive Master League, so it’s expected for players to try and find one with perfect IVs now that it’s spawning more often in the game due to the Sinnoh Tour events.

How to get Origin Forme Giratina in Pokemon Go

As with many other Legendaries, there’s only one way you can encounter Origin Forme Giratina in Niantic’s game:

• As a Raid Boss

As mentioned above, to celebrate the Sinnoh region and the arrival of Dialga and Palkia‘s Origin Formes, Giratina Origin Forme will be the protagonist of the Raid Hour on February 23, 2024 (with the exclusive move Shadow Force) and from that same day until February 26, 2024, it will also be available as a Boss in 5-Star Raid battles.

Can Origin Forme Giratina be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Origin Forme Giratina can be Shiny, as this variation was introduced to the game in 2020.

Players will get the chance to find a Shiny Origin Forme Giratina in both 5-Star Raid battles and during the Pokemon’s time in Raid Hour. However, keep in mind that there’s no way to increase the odds of finding it, but the more Raids you do, the more chances you’ll get.
