How To Get Shiny Magnemite In Pokémon GO

You can find Magnemite and shiny Magnemite as wild spawns. Special events like Magnetic Study 2024 feature Magnemite in Research tasks, which also boosts its wild spawn rate. To increase your chances of finding a shiny, encounter several regular Magnemite.

To boost spawn rates even further, consider using in-game items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect. While Incense and Lures need to be activated manually, Weather Boost occurs passively during specific weather conditions.

Magnemite's spawn rate spikes during rainy and snowy weather. Head to a PokeStop under such conditions, attach a Lure Module, activate Incense, and move around the area to maximize your encounters. The more Magnemite you see, the higher your chances of finding a shiny!
