The Hidden Gems update of Pokemon GO has brought a lot of new critters to the game, and Turtonator is the latest addition. It is a Fire/Dragon-type turtle Pokemon and was first introduced in Generation VII through Pokemon Sun and Moon. Like Blastoise, this creature also stands on its hind legs. Turntonator is available in Pokemon GO through the Dark Flames event, which starts today, June 29, 2023, and ends on July 2, 2023. It is a short event, lasting only four days in the game.

You must be wondering if this creature will have a shiny form in Pokemon GO, and in this article, you will get to know the answer.
