You can get the shiny version of this Gen V Mythical by completing the following steps:

1) Purchase the Masterwork Research

You can buy the Shiny Keldeo Masterwork Research from the in-game shop for US$7.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency) between 10 am local time on November 25, 2025, and 8 pm local time on November 30, 2025.

2) Complete the Masterwork Research

The tasks in this Research will be shared once details are available. However, you should know that it will be a long road. Masterwork Research doesn't expire, so you can complete the objectives at your own pace.

3) Catch Shiny Keldeo

Once you complete the Masterwork Research, you will encounter Shiny Keldeo at Level 15. It will be between 1520 and 1585 CP (10/10/10 to 15/15/15 IVs). It is a guaranteed catch, so you can use a Pinap Berry to increase the number of Candy you get from it.
