How to find Kartana in Pokemon Go & can it be Shiny?

The Grass/Steel-type Ultra Beast is slaying foes in Pokemon Go, but how can you nab one for your team, and can it be Shiny?

Ultra Beasts are rare encounters in Pokemon Go, as they’re often part of special events. This is true of Kartana, the powerful Legendary Pokemon, who is about to get an upgrade in the upcoming Sizable Surprises event.

Here’s how you can encounter Kartana in Pokemon Go and whether or not it can be Shiny.

How to get Kartana in Pokemon Go

People in the Northern Hemisphere can catch Kartana in 5-Star Raids during the Sizeable Surprises event from April 4, 2024, to April 9, 2024. So, if you want to catch a Shiny one, be sure to raid during these times.

Previously, Kartana was available in different Raids with the other Ultra Beasts. This means other trainers have access to Kartana, and it will likely be available in future events, so you won’t permanently miss out if you don’t encounter one during Sizeable Surprises.

Kartana cannot be encountered in the wild, and it cannot be hatched from Pokemon Eggs.

Can Kartana be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Shiny Kartana will be available for the first time during the Sizable Surprises event in 5-Star Raids. This event begins on April 4, 2024, so you won’t be able to encounter a Shiny Kartana until then.
