A new shiny Pokémon has been made available in Pokémon GO for all Japan-based players. After last week's Pikachu Outbreak event, Niantic has begun to roll out Shiny Pikachu in the wild. This is not the first time a shiny Pokémon has been added to the game after shiny (gold) Magikarp began appearing - which in turn evolved into shiny Gyrados (red).
The Silph Road tweeted out an image of everyone's favourite electric mouse, which shows Pikachu looking nearly identical to the normal kind apart from having a slightly darker fur. Raichu also can be obtained by evolving the Pikachu, with again a moderately darker colour.
Many types of Pikachu have been made available worldwide for certain periods of time, with the most recent sporting an Ash Ketchup hat. Other types have included a santa hat and party style hat during specific festive periods.
Would you like to see more shiny Pokémon appearing in GO?

I'd like to see Go actually working on my phone.
I think I'd like to trade/battle others before more shiny-mon.
What are they going to add next? Winking and angry Pikachu?
Ash Ketchup
Good ol' Ash Ketchup.
Or as he is called in Australia, Ash Tomato Sauce.
I loled at Ash Ketchup.
...I'm hungry all of the sudden.
Ash Ketchup? I never knew he was a Mayo hater!
Mayo is now legally better than Ketchup, so...
Ash Mayo?
@Kalmaro I'd like to see the garbage android platform die a terrible death
I like Raichu, so I'd like seeing this make it to this side of the ocean.
Does Shiny pikachu got buffed-up stats? Cause my pikachu buddy is very weak. He needs a light ball to be competable.
Ash Ketchup: Shiny version of Ash
so no one noticed those 1491 pikachu candy
Was the Ketchup on purpose?
Still haven't found a shiny Magikarp and Pikachu are insanely rare in my area, so there's no chance in hell that I'll ever get this.
