  Evolving your Pokémon   Every time you catch a Pokémon of a particular species, you’ll receive Candy for that species. Evolution requires a different amount of Candy for each species. Pokémon that require more Candy to evolve tend to show greater gains in CP. Evolved Pokémon generally have higher CP and HP, making them a valuable addition to your collection. You’ll still have the same number of Pokémon in your collection after completing an Evolution. The Pokémon you selected has evolved—transforming into an evolved Pokémon—so you haven’t gained or lost in total Pokémon.

What are Shiny Pokémon?   Shiny Pokémon  are rare variants of Pokémon that are differently colored than other Pokémon of their species. If you’re lucky, you may randomly encounter Shiny Pokémon in the wild, especially during special events like Community Days or Pokémon GO Fest.  You can tell if the Pokémon you’ve encountered is a Shiny Pokémon if you see an icon above their CP like the one in the picture below. Besides encounters in the wild, Raid Boss encounters, Special Research Breakthroughs, Research Task rewards, and other rewards are just a few ways you may encounter a Shiny Pokémon. Stay tuned to  the official Pokémon GO blog  for details on which Shiny Pokémon you may encounter or will be available in the game, as not all Pokémon in the game have a shiny variant available to date. Note:  Ditto will not disguise itself as other Shiny Pokémon, even if Ditto is Shiny. However, a Shiny Ditto may disguise itself as a non-Shiny Pokémon! Event-Limited Shiny Pokémon Some Pokémon, such
