Shiny Meltan appearing in Pokemon GO for a limited time

The Pokemon Company, Niantic, and Nintendo have announced that a Shiny version of the Mythical Pokemon Meltan is appearing in Pokemon GO for a limited time. The creature can be transferred to Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee once captured.

Here’s a bit of additional information about the event:

Meltan is a rare Pokemon that appears when a Mystery Box is used in Pokemon GO. A Mystery Box can be obtained only by linking Pokemon GO with Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! Players who use their Mystery Box anytime Tuesday, February 5, through Monday, March 4, 2019, have a chance to catch Shiny Meltan in Pokémon GO. During this special event, the time that you have to wait before you can open the Mystery Box again will be reduced from seven to three days.
