Pokemon Go is one of the most popular augmented reality mobile games right now. The augmented reality (AR) game has been developed and published by Niantic and it is available on Android and iOS devices. It takes Pokemon fans on a real-life adventure and allows them to explore various species along the way. Despite being released over four years ago, the video game continues to grow and retain a significant amount of player base. One of the major reasons behind its success is the introduction of new features and endless celebratory events.

The gaming company has recently brought a new Unavo Celebration Event, allowing fans to catch various Shiny species. Pokemon trainers can encounter various Shine species throughout the event; however, several players have been wondering if a shiny Tepig will be available as part of the upcoming event. Is there a Shiny Tepig in Pokemon GO and what level does Tepig evolve? Let us find out.
