VIDEO : Pokemon Go Adds Its First Shiny Legendary Pokemon

Pokemon Go players have one more reason to battle Lugia for the next two weeks. Multiple players are reporting that they are catching Shiny variants of Lugia after beating the Legendary Pokemon in Raid Battles. You can check out a video of one of the first Shiny Lugia to be caught in Pokemon Go in the tweet below: While Pokemon Go has over 20 species with Shiny variants available in the game, this is the first time that a Legendary Pokemon has had a Shiny variant available. In a way, it's fitting that Lugia was the first Legendary Pokemon to get a Shiny variant, as it was also the first Legendary Pokemon to appear in the game.
