Taking it into account, if players encounter a Shiny Ponyta, they can evolve it intoa powerful Shiny Rapidash. This will cost them 50 Candy, the more Ponyta they collect the more Candy they can make.
To catch a Ponyta, players can use featured events as the Pokemon’s spawn rate experiences an increase. The monster is a wild spawn, so the players do not have to hassle through raids. Since it can spawn openly in the wild, one can use several in-game elements to boost its spawn rate further. However, with Ponyta featuring sometimes as the Spotlight Hour Pokemon, more chances of it appearing in a shiny variant are promised.
Pokemon GOitems like Lure Modules, Incense, and feature like the Weather Boost function can significantly increase Pokemon spawn rate. Lure Modules attach to a PokeStop or Gym and increase the spawn rate around that area, whereas Incense connects to the players and increases the spawn rate as they travel.
