With so many other Pokémon coming to Pokémon Go during the Ultra Unlock Part 3: Sword and Shield event, it's hard to keep track of them. Many of these Pokémon originated in the Galar region, so you probably recognize one if you've played Pokémon Sword and Shield. One Pokémon that you will see quite often in the wild is Skwovet. Can you expect to capture its brilliant form in Pokémon Go?
For the moment, the answer is no. Skwovet's glossy form, and its Greedent evolution, will not receive their glossy form for some time. However, developer Niantic will also release a Pokémon and then release that Pokémon's shiny form at a later event. We can expect that event to arrive in the future in a year or so.
Most Pokémon that have ever been introduced in Pokémon Go rarely get their bright form when they debut. There have been some exceptions to this rule. You can catch Skwovet as much as you like in the wild, looking for the ideal one to evolve into a Greedent and make him a reliable PvP fighter, but he won't be brilliant. Let's imagine a summer event in 2022 will usher in the brilliant version of Skwovet.
