Trainers in Singapore, mark Tuesday in your calendar: Shiny Snom<\/strong> is finally arriving in Pok\u00e9mon GO, and it’s bringing a whole week of fire-and-ice themed spawns with it.

Shiny Snom: Pok\u00e9mon GO World Debut<\/h2>\n

This is the headline. Shiny Snom has never been available anywhere in Pok\u00e9mon GO until now.<\/strong> The tiny Ice\/Bug Pok\u00e9mon from Galar’s Circhester Bay becomes available in its shiny form for the very first time during Arctic Embers \u2014 and its shiny is a gorgeous pale gold rather than its usual icy blue.<\/p>\n
