Elgyem appears in Pokémon GO events such as Spotlight Hour, and players may also find its Shiny form. Shiny hunters can benefit from the increased spawn rate of highlighted monsters during events.

If you catch a Shiny Elgyem, you can eventually develop it into a Shiny Beheeyem. The Combat Power and stats of Pokémon GO monsters are the same for both regular and shiny forms. Elgyem and its Shiny form have identical 1566 CP; the stat distribution includes 148 ATK, 100 DEF, and 146 STA.

When players evolve the monster into a Beheeyem, the maximum CP rises to 3112, with stats including 221 ATK, 163 DEF, and 181 STA. Such tremendous numbers are motivation enough to seek Shiny Elgyem and Shiny Beheeyem; Gadinsider explains how to achieve them.

How to get Shiny Elgyem

Pokémon GO does not offer a guaranteed way to encounter Shiny creatures, but there are ways to boost your chances. Events featuring Elgyem, such as the Spotlight Hour, can increase its wild spawn rate, allowing you to meet Elgyem's Shiny chances.

Several in-game items can help to enhance wild spawn rates. The more Elgyem you face, the faster you will be able to catch up with its Shiny chances.

Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost effect can dramatically boost the pace at which wild monsters reproduce. Using these items at the same time can compound their effects and significantly enhance the rate of wild Pokemon spawning within a restricted region of influence.

Whereas Pokémon GO Lure Modules and Incense need manual activation, the Weather Boost is a passive effect that activates under specified weather situations.

Elgyem's natural spawning rates rise in windy locations. You must find a PokeStop or Gym with such weather, attach a Lure Module, ignite a Pokémon GO Incense, and go through the region of impact.

In addition, doing so during events featuring the monster can combine the benefits with the already increased wild spawn rate, perhaps matching Elgyem's Shiny chances.

How to get Shiny Beheeyem

When you capture a Shiny Elgyem in Pokémon GO, it must be evolved into a Shiny Beheeyem. Elgyem and its Shiny form evolve identically; the sole need is 50 Candy.

Moreover, there are several ways to harvest Candy, including capturing and transferring several Elgyem, making Elgyem your Buddy Pokemon and doing various chores, completing highlighted Research objectives, and more.
