Voltorb, a spherical or rounded Pokémon native to the regions of Kanto and Hisui, can be encountered in the wild. Each Voltorb and its Hisui counterpart can potentially have a shiny variant.
While neither of these Pokémon typically see play in competitive metas, their unique shiny variants make them worthwhile to search for, as they resemble special Poké Balls and offer a thrilling collector’s item experience.
The current shiny price for Voltorb in Pokémon Go is approximately 3-5 million coins.
According to archived data from The Silph Street website, via Wayback Machine, the approximate odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon on a typical day are about one in every 500 occurrences. While Voltorb’s rarity does contribute to its potential value as a shiny, the notion of a “permanent boost” remains uncertain. Its uncommon spawns may, however, drive up demand for this coveted variant?
To catch those coveted shiny Pokémon, focus on your IVs and EVs by hatching a sufficient number of eggs from the specific species you’re targeting. Ensure you have a diverse team with varied movesets to take down wild ones effectively.
Not a lot, sadly. It appears to be a random probability occurrence. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are determined by game developer Niantic, with boosts occasionally applied during specific events such as Community Days or Safari Zones, or during Legendary Raids. Consumable items do not exist to boost shiny Pokémon spawns.
