How to get Shiny Frigibax in Pokemon GO

The shiny variant of Frigibax will be available during Pokemon GO Fest 2025, taking place on June 28 and 29 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time. This two-day event is the best opportunity to encounter this rare shiny Pokemon.

Where to find Shiny Frigibax in Pokemon GO

During the event, Frigibax will appear in two main ways:

- Wild spawns: Increased appearances in the Hypnotic Tundra habitat

- Raids: Available in one-star raids

The shiny rate for Frigibax is estimated to be approximately 1 in 64, similar to other new shiny releases during GO Fest. After the event ends, shiny Frigibax will become much harder to find, so players should prioritize catching it during the festival.



You can also get this shiny critter by trading with your friends. If you know someone who has a spare Shiny Frigibax, you can ask them to trade it to you. However, trading an unregistered shiny Pokemon can be taxing on your Stardust reserve. It can cost up to one million Stardust depending on the level of your friendship with the person you are willing to trade with.

Best strategies to catch Shiny Frigibax

Since Shiny Frigibax is time-limited, players should maximize their chances with these methods:

- Focus on Hypnotic Tundra habitat hours – Frigibax spawns more frequently here

- Use incense – Increases wild encounters

- Complete one-star raids – Guarantees a Frigibax encounter with a chance to be shiny

- Trade after the event – If you miss out, trading with other players may be an option
