Heart Spinda Locked Behind a Paywall, How to Catch It & Shiny Odds in Pokemon Go
Update: Trainers, Heart Spinda is also available as a Field Research task encounter. You must complete the Make 5 Great Curveball Throws in a row task.
Previous Story: Trainers, the Carnival of Love is right around the corner, and one of the highlights of this event is Heart Pattern Spinda. Many players want to know how to get one, so don’t worry, we’ve got your back.
The Carnival of Love celebrates the day of love and Pokemon Go players have a chance to catch the new shiny Pokemon Oricorio, Heart Trim Furfrou, complete the new Collection Challenge, and complete the new Timed Research for five Heart Spinda encounters. Yes, that’s right, the only way you get Heart Spinda is by completing the paid Timed Research. Oh, and I almost forgot. Heart Spinda can be shiny.
We expect the odds of Shiny Heart Spinda to be somewhere around 1 in 60. We will have the numbers when the event goes live.
This Paid Timed Research costs only a dollar, and if you ask us, it’s worth getting. The Carnival of Love Timed Research also gives Stardust, XP, and 2 Incense when completed.
We encourage you to get the ticket because this may be the last time we get a chance to catch Heart Spinda.
