But how do you catch this fossilized Dragon-Rock beast? And more importantly, can it be shiny? Let's break it all down, fast and crisp. Why is there So Much Hype Around Shadow Tyrunt in Pokemon GO? Shadow Tyrunt officially arrived in Pokémon GO on May 14, 2025, during the Crown Clash: Taken Over event. It's a Rock/Dragon-type Pokémon originally from the Kalos region (Gen VI).
