Pokemon GO is filled with hundreds of Pokemon that players can find in the wild to catch, raise, and trade with other players. Even with this large variety of Pokemon throughout all of the games, there exists a type of player known as a shiny hunter. These players collect the different shiny Pokemon that are normally very difficult to find.

Shiny Pokemon have appeared in many Pokemon titles even outside Pokemon GO. These Pokemon don't have any stat differences from ordinary Pokemon, but they are highly sought after due to them having different color pallets from their normal counterparts. The general opinion of these alternative color schemes varies from Pokemon to Pokemon, however their rarity makes it so that many players want as many as possible.

Unlike in the main games, the shiny forms of Pokemon in Pokemon GO aren't released alongside the actual release of the Pokemon in-game. Instead, they are often released one evolutionary line at a time, often alongside specific events. Because of this, the older a Pokemon is, the more likely it is for it to already have its shiny form available. This means that there are plenty of Pokemon from the Unova region and the Kalos region that have unavailable shiny forms.

Dwebble is a dual Bug and Rock-type Pokemon that is weak to Water, Rock, and Steel-type moves. It meanwhile resists damage from Poison and Normal-type moves. If players have 50 Dwebble Candies, Dwebble can be evolved into its final stage, Crustle.

Being from the Unova region, Dwebble and its evolution haven't been in Pokemon GO as long as many other Pokemon. It however can be found and caught in its shiny form, which many may have done during June 1st's Dwebble Spotlight Hour. This event greatly increased Dwebble's spawn rates for a short amount of time.

As can be seen in the above image, the differences between a shiny Dwebble and a non-shiny Dwebble are more on the subtle side compared to other Pokemon. Because of this, there may be some players have have one or two shiny Dwebble without even knowing it. The best way to tell the difference is by direct comparison. A normal Dwebble has a lighter skin tone, while a shiny Dwebble has more of a reddish orange skin tone. Additionally, a normal Dwebble has a light shaded rock for a shell while a shiny Dwebble has a much darker rock it uses for a shell.
