Abra, the psychic-type Pokémon from the Kanto region, is indeed available in the wild within Pokémon Go. The shiny variant of Abra can be encountered by players.
Shiny Rate for Abra in Pokémon Go
Research from the now-closed website The Silph Road indicates that the typical shiny encounter rate for Pokémon is about one in 500. However, Abra does not have a confirmed “permaboost” status, meaning it does not benefit from an increased shiny rate due to its rarity in spawns.
Attracting More Shiny Pokémon
Unfortunately, there aren’t many methods to increase your chances of encountering shiny Pokémon. The shiny catch rates are determined by Niantic, and they generally see boosts only during special events such as Community Days, Safari Zones, or Legendary Raids. Currently, there are no items that can enhance shiny rates.
Available Shiny Pokémon Lists
For players interested in knowing which shiny Pokémon are available, comprehensive lists can be found on various gaming resources dedicated to Pokémon Go.
If you participated in the Abra Community Day in April 2020, you may already have a shiny Abra or its evolutions. While the first evolutionary forms have subtle differences in their shiny forms, Alakazam and its Mega evolution feature striking pink highlights, making them visually distinct.
