With the Pokemon December events underway, Virizion is already appearing in raids. Virizion will stay live well into the next year till January 7. However, some reports in Pokemon Go forums are stating that a Shiny Gible Pokemon is now available in the game. Gible is a Dragon-Ground type Pokemon that was introduced in Generation IV.
According to reports, shiny Gible can be found in eggs as well as in the wild. Players will need to hatch the 10KM eggs in order to get shiny Gible.
