Amaura is a Rock/Ice-type Pokemon that was first introduced in Generation VI of the main series games. Fans of Pokemon GO have been eagerly awaiting the release of its shiny form since Adventure Week 2022. The wait is finally over, and trainers can now embark on a quest to capture the elusive Shiny Amaura.
There are multiple ways to obtain a Shiny Amaura during Adventure Week 2023. Trainers can increase their chances of encountering this rare Pokemon by exploring the following methods:
Wild Encounters
The easiest and most common method of encountering Shiny Amaura is through wild encounters.
- By simply walking around the overworld of the game, trainers have a chance to stumble upon a Shiny Amaura.
- However, it’s important to note that the odds of encountering a Shiny Amaura in the wild are relatively low.
To maximize your chances of encountering Shiny Amaura in the wild, consider using Incense. Incense increases the number of Pokemon spawns around you, boosting your chances of encountering a Shiny Amaura.
Hatching Eggs
Another method of obtaining Shiny Amaura is by hatching eggs.

- During Adventure Week 2023, Amaura, along with other Fossil-based Pokemon such as Tyrunt, Tirtouga, and Archen, will have a higher priority of hatching from 7km eggs.
- Trainers who incubate eggs during this period will benefit from reduced hatch times, making it an efficient way to obtain Shiny Amaura.
Field Research Encounters
Completing Field Research tasks obtained from spinning PokeStops can also lead to encounters with Shiny Amaura.
- These tasks are event-themed and offer trainers the opportunity to encounter Shiny Amaura.
- Completing Field Research tasks may reward trainers with high-IV versions of Amaura, further enhancing their collection.
Collection Challenge
During Adventure Week 2023, trainers can participate in a Collection Challenge.
- This challenge typically requires trainers to collect specific Fossil or Rock-type Pokemon.
- By successfully completing the challenge, trainers may be rewarded with encounters featuring Shiny Amaura.
