Niantic regularly adds new Pokemon for players to hunt in Pokemon GO. One Pokemon that has fallen far behind the others, specifically behind its fellow Hoennians, is Kecleon. Kecleon has been long awaited by players thanks to its unique camouflage mechanic. It was always assumed that Kecleon would be added during some sort of event, but Niantic has surprised players with the drop of this cunning creature in the wild.
How to catch a Kecleon in Pokémon GO
Catching Kecleon is as easy as finding a pokestop with the Pokémon grabbed to the side and spinning it. After this, Kecleon will be in the overworld for players to find and catch. Kecleon’s camouflage will make it difficult to spot, so be sure to click on a PokéStop and look closely to see if you can spot the chameleon Pokémon. The red stripe on Kecleon’s stomach will be the most noticeable part of the Pokemon when it’s invisible, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye out for that.

Can Kecleon be shiny in Pokémon GO?
Kecleon will have his shiny form available to players who attend the Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas, and it is likely (but not guaranteed) that after this event, players around the world will be able to find the shiny form of this Pokémon. Kecleon’s shiny changes its red stomach stripe to a blue one and also takes on a duller green color when not camouflaged. Kecleon will likely have XXS and XXL variants in the game as well, so be sure to keep an eye out for these.
