Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Flower Crown Cottonee
Pokemon GO trainers can encounter both Standard and Shiny variants of Flower Crown Cottonee in the wild. The monster experiences a boosted wild spawn rate during featured events like the Verdant Wonders. This increased wild spawn rate can aid players in encountering multiple Standard variants, which may help them achieve the monster’s Shiny odds.
There are also several Pokemon GO items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect that can increase wild spawn rate around a certain area. Flower Crown Cottonee experiences a Weather Boost around sunny and cloudy weather, and spawns more in areas with such weather.
One must look for a PokeStop or Gym with such weather, attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module to it, activate an Incense, and walk around that area. This strategy can significantly increase Flower Crown Cottonee’s wild spawn rate during featured events. But note that even with the boosted spawn rate, there is no guaranteed Shiny encounter.

Fulfilling the Candy requirement is fairly easy; payers can do so by catching and transferring several Cottonee. There are different ways to acquire a Sun Stone in Pokemon GO.
