There is another Pokemon Go Shiny Meltan event coming soon to Pokemon Go. Players will be able to catch themselves a shiny version of the steel-type mythical Pokemon very soon. This isn’t the first time an event like this has happened but it is welcome nonetheless. In addition, players will get to enjoy some necessary changes to the mystery box system.
The Pokemon Go Shiny Meltan event will be live starting next week on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at 1:00 pm PT. It will only be around for a little over a week and will conclude on Sunday, May 5, 2019 at 1:00 pm PT. The only way that you will be able to catch Meltan is through using a mystery box.
For those players who don’t know about the mystery box, you get this item in Pokemon Go each time that you transfer at least one Pokemon Go creature to the Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee games on Nintendo Switch. Doing so will net you a mystery box in the mobile game. Opening up this box will allow you to catch several Meltan for a few minutes.
But, with the Pokemon Go Shiny Meltan event, you will have a chance at finding a shiny version of the Pokemon, though, the differences aren’t super substantial. This will also be the only way to get a shiny Melmetal, too. Last but not least, this brings some permanent changes to the mystery box system. Previously, you could only open one box per seven days.
However, that is now changing for good. Players will only have to wait three days to open up another mystery box. This essentially means you will be able to catch Meltan at least twice a week from now on. This is especially great news for players looking to get Pokemon Go Shiny Meltan through this event.
