"Significance of Shiny Shuckle at Sentosa Safari Zone"

#PokemonGO: Following the recent tradition of 2018's, and most recently, last January's Safari Zones, the upcoming Safari Zone in Sentosa, Singapore will see the release of shiny Shuckle. The significance of the shiny is often tied to some geographic or characteristic feature of the city hosting the Safari Zone.To review some of the previous Safari Zones:Shiny Roselia was introduced in Dortmund, Germany. This was in reference to the beautiful rose garden located within Westfalenpark.Shiny Wingull was introduced in Yokosuka, Japan. This was in reference to Yokosuka's Navy Curry mascot, Sucurry.Shiny Pinsir was introduced in Tainan, Taiwan. This was possibly in reference to the Formosan Giant Stag Beetle which is one of the more valuable protected animal species in Taiwan.Not officially a Safari Zone event, but shiny Sandshrew was released in Tottori, Japan as part of an exclusive event. This was in direct reference to the Tottori Sand Dunes, which hosted the Sandshrew Festival in partnership with The Pokemon Company.Shiny Psyduck was introduced in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This was in reference to the Lagoa dos Patos (Lagoon of the Ducks), which is not only the largest lagoon in Brazil but also the largest barrier-lagoon in South America.In September 2018, Singapore opened its first turtle hatchery, aimed at conservation and research of two critically endangered species native to the area - the Hawksbill Turtle and the Green Sea Turtle.Recently, an increasing number of nesting activities have been reported along the Singaporean coast. This is not only due to the improved efforts by the community, but also due to the large amounts of live rock that make up much of the Singaporean sea floor.This makes Shuckle the perfect representation for Sentosa's Safari Zone due to its turtle- like appearance as well as it rock-like exterior.It will be exciting to see what interesting characteristics will be highlighted in upcoming Safari Zones. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2Sz5np5
