Is there Shiny Nidoran (m)? Yes, you can catch the Shiny version of Male Nidoran in Pokémon GO. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a copy at Limelight Hour.
Who is Limelight Hour for?
Male Nidoran and their evolutions are not very strong in Pokémon GO. Nidoking is not as good as Nidoqueen. In the ranking list for trainer battles, Nidoking can be found in the lower midfield of the super and hyper leagues. These Pokémon are also not particularly suitable for attackers in raids.
Above all, use the spotlight hour to tidy up your collection and send Pokémon to get lots of candies.
The dates for the Community Days in September, October and November have been set.
