How to get Mantine in Pokemon Go

The most straightforward way to encounter Mantine is as a random wild encounter. To boost the odds, Mantine is usually found around the Sea and has a higher chance of spawning in Rainy or Windy weather.

That being said, trainers can find wild Mantine a bit easier during the World of Wonders season’s Sizeable Surprises event. Mantine is a boosted wild spawn during Sizeable Surprises until the event ends on April 9, 2024, so trainers should take advantage of these boosted spawns while they last.

Can Mantine be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Mantine can be Shiny in Pokemon Go. Shiny Mantine made its debut in Pokemon Go back in 2022.

Though it may be hard to discern, Shiny Mantine has a brighter blue hue to its entire body making for a very subtle Shiny Pokemon.

That’s everything you need to know about how to get Mantine and whether it can be Shiny in Pokemon Go. For more game content, check the guides below:
