Since the GO Fest Seattle that occurred on July 22, 2022, in Pokémon GO, Trainers from all over the globe are able to find and catch Panpour, including its Shiny variant. Previously, this simian, blue-and-cream pocket monster was only region locked, available only within the Americas. In other words, those living in Asian countries were unable to get this unique monkey-esque Pokémon — until now. Panpour is a Water-type Pokémon that evolves into Simipour after specific conditions are met. Accordingly, Trainers are likely eager to know how to catch Shiny Panpour and evolve it in Pokémon GO. 

Catching Shiny Panpour In Pokémon GO

To catch Shiny Panpour in Pokémon GO, Trainers must encounter Panpour out in the wild within the in-game AR realm. Of course, there’s no way to tell if the pocket monster is Shiny without tapping on it and entering the Poké Ball capture screen. Therefore, players should always be on the lookout for any Panpours that appear in their area.

Another way to catch a Shiny Panpour in Pokémon GO is by defeating the simian pocket monster in a Raid. Panpour will occasionally appear as a Tier-1 Raid Boss with 3,043 CP. Hence, it will be quite effortless for mid and even low-level Trainers to solo this Boss. After beating Panpour, players can catch it after the battle for a chance to get it as a Shiny. Naturally, finding Panpour as a Shiny is exceptionally rare for both Raids and Wild Encounters. Those who do manage to encounter one are incredibly lucky and will be able to move on to the next step of evolving their Shiny Panpour in Pokémon GO.

To evolve Panpour into Simipour in Pokémon GO, Trainers will need to feed the pocket monster 50 Candy and give it a Unova Stone. Unova Stones are rare Evolution items that can only be acquired via specific methods. Some ways to get this item include:

  • Interact with a Pokéstop at least once for seven days to achieve the repeatable “7 Day Streak!” accomplishment.
  • Fulfill Special Research Quests for a slight chance of receiving Evolution Items, such as the Unova Stone.
  • Defeat one of the Team GO Rocket Leaders: Cliff, Arlo, Sierra, or Giovanni.

The best Moveset for Panpour is Water Gun as its Fast Move and Surf as its Charged Move. The same Moves are also optimal for Simipour, Panpour’s evolved form. 

Pokemon GO is available on iOS and Android.
