Pokémon GO Guide: How to Obtain the Candela Accessory Ponyta

How to Obtain Candela Accessory Ponyta in Pokémon GO (And Can It Be Shiny?)

In Pokémon GO, costumed Pokémon like Candela Accessory Ponyta often appear during special in-game events. For instance, events such as the Triumph Together 2024 provide opportunities to catch these unique Pokémon. Players are not only interested in adding this costumed Ponyta to their collection but also wonder if a Shiny version is available.

Candela Accessory Ponyta holds a special appeal for collectors who seek out costumed Pokémon. Although this Pokémon can be found during various events, the Triumph Together event, which begins on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at 3:45 AM NT, offers a prime chance to catch one. With a bit of luck, players might also encounter a Shiny Candela Accessory Ponyta. This guide provides everything you need to know to secure both the standard and Shiny versions of Candela Accessory Ponyta in Pokémon GO.

How to Catch Candela Accessory Ponyta in Pokémon GO

There are multiple ways to obtain a Candela Accessory Ponyta in Pokémon GO, but the easiest method is to complete specific Research tasks featured during the event. When the Triumph Together 2024 event kicks off, players can participate in the Valor Global Challenge, Instinct Global Challenge, and Mystic Global Challenge. Completing the Valor Global Challenge requires defeating 75,000,000 Team GO Rocket members and rewards players with a Team Valor-themed Timed Research. Successfully completing this research guarantees an encounter with Candela Accessory Ponyta, with a chance of it being Shiny.

Completing the Valor Global Challenge not only unlocks the Candela Accessory Ponyta encounter but also activates several in-game bonuses. These bonuses include a Team Valor-themed Timed Research, double XP for spinning Photodiscs at Pokémon GO PokéStops, and the unlocking of another Global Challenge. Finishing the Valor Global Challenge will then allow players to move on to the Instinct Global Challenge, which leads to an encounter with a Spark Accessory Elekid, also with a chance of being Shiny.

Getting Candela Accessory Ponyta via Timed Research in Pokémon GO

The Triumph Together 2024 event features a Premium Timed Research that rewards players with a Candela Accessory Ponyta upon completion. Additionally, there is a chance that players will encounter a Shiny Candela Accessory Ponyta after completing the task. To participate, players must purchase the Triumph Together 2024 Premium Timed Research for $5.00 USD or the equivalent in their local currency. The research consists of several tasks, one of which involves defeating three Team GO Rocket Grunts to guarantee an encounter with Candela Accessory Ponyta.

How to Find a Shiny Candela Accessory Ponyta in Pokémon GO

Players who are lucky might find a Shiny Candela Accessory Ponyta by completing the Valor Global Challenge or the Triumph Together 2024 Premium Timed Research. However, it’s important to note that even with a chance to encounter a Shiny version, you might only come across the regular variant. To improve your odds, you should aim to encounter as many Candela Accessory Ponyta as possible to match the Shiny encounter rates.

By understanding these steps and participating actively in the event, you can increase your chances of adding both the Candela Accessory Ponyta and its Shiny counterpart to your collection in Pokémon GO.
