Petilil is one of the thirteen Pokemon that will be appearing in the Fairy Garden habitats around Expo '70 Commemorative Park in Osaka and Brockwell Park in London during Pokemon GO Fest 2023. Each of these thirteen Pocket Monsters can be shiny.

Frequenting these habitats will give you a higher chance of running into a Shiny Petilil. You can also use a Mossy Lure Module to attract more Grass-type critters like Petilil. Using Incense will also increase your chance of encountering a Shiny Petilil.

Wild Encounters

Petilil is one of the wild encounters available during the Glittering Garden event in Niantic's mobile game. Walking around the overworld will give you a solid chance of running into a Shiny Petilil during the event.

To increase the chances of you encountering a Shiny Petilil, you can consider using a Mossy Lure Module or Incense. This will increase the total number of spawns, thereby giving you a higher chance of finding a shiny.

Eggs

Shiny Petilil is available in 2km Eggs. With the event bonus giving you extra Stardust and Candy for hatching Eggs, you now have another incentive to walk the extra mile. Eggs usually have a slightly higher chance of giving you a shiny version, although nothing like that has been mentioned explicitly for this event.

Other critters you may find inside 2km Eggs during this event include Shiny Budew, one of the rarest shinies in the game, and Larvesta, a critter notorious for its low hatch rates.

Field and Timed Research

You also have a chance to encounter Shiny Petilil as a Field and Timed Research encounter. This is also a great opportunity to find a Petilil with higher IVs. You can find event-themed Field Research by spinning PokeStops.

The Timed Research for the event will be free for all players worldwide, but will expire as soon as the event ends at 8 pm on August 8, 2023.

You can get a Shiny Lilligant by evolving a Shiny Petilil in Pokemon GO. To evolve the latter, you need 50 Petilil Candy and a Sun Stone.
