Shadow Tyrunt
has stomped its way into Pokémon GO, and if you're a collector, battler, or just someone who wants the newest addition to their Shadow team, now's the time to act. 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). Normally, it evolves into Tyrantrum when fed 50 Candy during the daytime — but right now, we're focused on its Shadow form.

How to Catch Shadow Tyrunt in Pokemon GO?
Catching Shadow Tyrunt isn't as simple as tapping on the map. You'll need to battle Team GO Rocket's Dragon-type Female Grunt.

Here's what to do:
Look for Team Rocket Grunts at PokéStops or floating in hot air balloons.
Engage with the Dragon-type Female Grunt.
Defeat her. Her party may include Dratini, Bagon, or Tyrunt in the first slot.
If Shadow Tyrunt is the first Pokémon she sends out, you're in luck. Win the battle to catch it.
Note
: If you don't encounter Tyrunt right away, keep battling until you do. The lineup is randomized.
How to Easily Defeat Dragon-type Female Grunt in Pokemon GO?
To take her down fast, Fairy-type Pokémon are your best friends. Here are some top choices:
Gardevoir with Charm + Dazzling Gleam
Togekiss with Charm + Dazzling Gleam
Sylveon with Charm + Moonblast
Zacian, Xerneas, or Enamorus also work great.
Fairy-types melt through Dragon-types. Easy win, easy catch.
Can Shadow Tyrunt Be Shiny?
Not yet. Shadow Tyrunt does not have a shiny version in the game. Niantic typically releases shiny Shadow forms in waves, and Tyrunt's time hasn't come yet. So for now, no sparkles, just shadows.
Final Thoughts
Getting Shadow Tyrunt in Pokémon GO takes effort, but for collectors and raid enthusiasts, it's worth it. Just keep battling those Dragon Grunts and bring your Fairy A-team. While you can't trade it or catch it shiny (yet), it's still a great addition to your Shadow roster.
