The long-necked Psychic giraffe, Girafarig will be in the next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour. It first appeared in the anime during The Psychic Sidekicks episode in which it used a powerful Future Sight move to defeat Team Rocket’s Haunter. Unfortunately, it doesn’t possess that move in the AR-based game.
Girafarig Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour will begin on September 19, 2023, at 6 P.M. and end at 7 P.M. LT. During this sixty minutes, Girafarig will have a boosted spawn rate. It doesn’t evolve into any other Pokemon in Go even though other games have included the Farfarig evolution.
Can Girafarig be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Yes, Shiny Girafarig is available in Pokemon Go. The variant is much prized by trainers due to its distinct blue nose and blue scales at the back. According to reports, there is a 1 in 50 chance to encounter a Shiny Girafarig but that is bound to decrease once the Spotlight Hour begins. Keep capturing the Pokemon to increase the shiny chances.
