Rockruff and its evolved form, Lycanroc joined Pokemon Go in the first batch of Alola Pokemon. The shiny form of Pokemon is usually added to the game during a big in-game event like the celebration of Pokemon Go‘s 5th anniversary. So here is the guide on how to find and catch Shiny Rockruff in Pokemon Go.
How to Find and Catch Shiny Rockruff in Pokemon Go
Shiny forms of Pokemon are added to the game separately from their standard form. It is much harder to find and catch, and it is only added to the game for a special event. To find yourself a Shiny Rockruff, you need to defeat it in a raid battle.
You can find Shiny Rockruff in one-star raid battles in Pokemon Go from Tuesday, March 1st, 2022, at 10:00 a.m to Wednesday, March 9th, 2022, at 8:00 p.m local time. Since it is a one-star raid, it is possible to bring it down as solo.
After you’ve defeated Rockruff, there is a chance that it will appear in its Shiny form during the capturing phase. It will appear with a sparkle on-screen with blue fur instead of brown. You can evolve Rockruff into a Lycanroc with 50 candy.

You can only try your luck until March 9th to raid and catch yourself a Shiny Rockruff. The odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Go is 1/500, which is much higher than the main titles’ 1/4096 chance of finding a Shiny Pokemon.
Since the Shiny Form of this Pokemon is available so early in the game, your chances are even higher to find and catch a Shiny Rockruff.
