When it comes to catching shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO, there are only a few different ways to increase one's odds of encountering one. Of course, a player's best chance of catching a shiny Duskull would be to wait for an event that features the Pokemon.

There will likely be an event in October that could potentially feature Duskull as well as other Ghost-type Pokemon. In the meantime, however, trainers can try out a few tips to catch a shiny Duskull in Pokemon GO.

Since Duskull doesn't currently have a boosted spawn-rate, players will need to take advantage of hunting Duskull by its type. As a Ghost-type Pokemon, Duskull is more likely to spawn in a few specific areas during a certain time and a particular weather pattern.

As far as locations go, players should start by hunting near churches, urban areas and cemeteries to increase their odds of encountering a shiny Duskull. Ghost-type Pokemon also spawn more frequently during nighttime hours, which in Pokemon GO is roughly 8.00 pm to 8.00 am in a player's local time. It is also rumored that Ghost-types spawn even more often at 2.00 am, although this remains to be confirmed.

The last thing to keep in mind when hunting for shiny Duskull in Pokemon GO is that Ghost-type Pokemon appear in the wild at a higher rate when the game records the weather as foggy.

Thus, a player's best bet to catch a shiny Duskull is to look in the places Ghost-types are known to appear during nighttime hours while the weather is foggy. Sounds like quite a creepy combination, but what else can one expect when hunting for a shiny Ghost-type Pokemon? It certainly seems most players will likely be better off waiting until Duskull features in another event in the mobile game.
