Shiny Slugma is a rare shiny to catch, and players are wondering how to capture one. Slugma is a fire-type Pokemon that resembles a snail if it fell into a volcano. If one actually had it as a pet, it might not be great to keep it in the home as it would burn everything to the ground.

Luckily, Pokemon are not real, and Slugma cannot hurt you. For those of you who like volcanic snails, let's get into how to catch a Slugma, and how to increase your chances of catching one that is shiny.

Shiny Slugma: Best Way to Find a Shiny Slugma

The best way to find a Slugma is to find out where it's nest is closest to you.

This is a website that tracks all the recorded nests called Pokemon GO Trading, but there are certainly more nests out there. Find out where that Slugma nest is near you, and head there. Shiny Slugma appears grey, but not in the field so make sure to try to catch every Slugma you can while out there at the Slugma nest. There are always community days that spawn more of one Pokemon, so be on the lookout for Slugma community day. Outside of the community day, head over to a Slugma nest of shiny days and keep catching them until you find one. Good luck!
