On the other hand, the Shiny version of Mawile in "Pokémon GO" trades the black patches of its skin for bright purple ones. Both appear to be raid bosses for the moment. There are no reports yet on whether they spawn in the wild or not.
Absol and Mawile are the 11th and 12th Pokémon in the augmented reality game to get the shiny treatment. The others are Bandette, Dusclops, Duskull, Gyarados, Magikarp, Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu, Sableye and Shuppet.
The latest update for "Pokémon GO" also appears to have added all Generation 3 Pokémon, but there are only few that are worth seeking out with utmost patience.
According to Slash Gear, Gen 3 must-haves include the likes of Aron, Bagon, Beldum, Feebas, Makuhita, Mudkip, Ralts, Slakoth, Spheal, Treecko and Torchic — all of which are able to evolve to some of the most powerful creatures of their generation. Majority of them need 25 candies to evolve except for Makuhita and Feebas, which need 50 and 100 candies, respectively.
With the update, Swampert stands as the most powerful creature in "Pokémon GO" right now, per the abovementioned website. Only Sceptile or an Exeggutor will be able to put up a fight with it.
As for the biggest Pokémon around, that title is held by Slaking with a whopping 5,441 CP. It is advised that players make sure they get one because it is kicked off the game for being too powerful.
