ThePokemon GOSinnoh Throwback Challenge is live in the game, giving players a new set of limited-time Field Research to complete to help them better complete their Sinnoh region Pokedex. As part of the event, Niantic has also released a brand new shiny Pokemon forPokemon GOplayers to add to their collection, with this week being perhaps the best opportunity for players to catch it.
Pokemon GOhas added shiny Glameow to the growing list of shiny Pokemon that are available in the game. And right now, Glameow is one of the most common Pokemon thatPokemon GOplayers can find in the wild, meaning that the odds of catching one are far greater than they are any other time. ThePokemon GOSinnoh Throwback Challengeis available until May 29 at 1pm local time, so anyone wanting to catch shiny Glameow should make a concerted effort to do so this week.

There are multiple ways forPokemon GOplayers to get shiny Glameow this week. The easiest way is to simply find Glameow in the wild, but Glameow is also one of the Sinnoh region Pokemon that is hatching out of7km eggs. Players can also complete the Field Research task to catch three normal-type Pokemon for an encounter with Glameow as well. Neither Glameow nor its evolved form Purugly are featured in raids this week, however.
Catching shiny Glameow is just one of the goalsPokemon GOplayers have this week. They will also want to complete the Sinnoh Throwback Challenge 2020 limited-time research, as that will give them the chance to catch thelegendary Pokemon Cresseliawith the special move Grass Knot. If they completed the previous Throwback Challenge tasks along with the Sinnoh Timed Research, thenPokemon GOplayers will also unlock new Unova-themed Special Research in June.
June will see the debut ofGalarian Pokemon inPokemon GO, which should give fans of the game even more Pokemon to catch and tasks to complete. On top of all that, there’s also the Seedot Community Day to look forward to, soPokemon GOenthusiasts should have no shortage of things to do in the coming weeks.
Pokemon GOis out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
