Where to find Shinx

Shinx is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Shinx can hatch from a Volt Egg, a Dawn Egg or a Mystery Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Volt Egg can drop on Electricity Hub, Dark Town, Leaf Town, and Foggy Wastelands. The Dawn Egg can drop on Haunted Mansion, Desert Beach, Safari Zone, and Foggy Wastelands. The Mystery Egg can drop on 0* Temperature, Desert Beach, Jungle, Foggy Wastelands, Wild Desert, Reborn Surface, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
