One of the greatest appeals of Pokemon GO, other than collecting and battling NPCs or other players with your monsters, is the presence of shiny Pokemon in the game. Shiny Pokemon are rare color variants of each species that have a slim chance of appearing through various encounter methods, making them a popular hit for shiny hunters and long-time players to try and get their hands on.
Many shinies are either implemented through or have their chances of appearing increased via in-game events and celebrations. One such themed event is the Delightful Days Sweet Swarm event, taking place in August 2025. During this opportunity, both shiny Swirlix and shiny Combee have increased shiny odds, meaning players are eager to track them down. If you find yourself eager to search for shiny Swirlix in-game, as well as wondering how you can evolve your Swirlix into Slurpuff, all relevant information about these topics has been outlined in the guide below.
In Pokemon GO, shiny Swirlix has already been released in the game. This means that any way in which you can get Swirlix, such as wild encounters or research rewards, has a chance for you to get lucky by stumbling upon a shiny variant.
Additionally, certain events that include Swirlix as a featured Pokemon may include increased chances of spawning a shiny Swirlix. The latest case of this is the Sweet Swarm event, which takes place between August 3, 2025, at 12 AM local time, until August 6, 2025, at 11:59 PM local time. During this time, Swirlix is available to encounter through research rewards and Lure Module spawns, so Trainers should aim to utilize this opportunity for their shiny hunts.
In Pokemon GO, players can evolve their Swirlix into Slurpuff if they meet the required evolution criteria. First, players will need to collect at least 50 Swirlix Candy, which can be done most easily by farming encounters and captures with the Pokemon, then transferring additional copies.
Additionally, you will also need to feed your Swirlix 25 Treats, such as Poffins and Berries. Once you have met these requirements, you can head into the Pokemon’s menu and then hit the evolve button. This will then trigger the evolution of Swirlix into Slurpuff. Lastly, if you do manage to secure a shiny Swirlix, this also means that you’ll have the chance to evolve it into a shiny Slurpuff, if you would like to – simply by following the exact same routine as normal.
