You will have to wait for events or occasions where the Psi Pokemon is available in Pokemon GO. It has previously been available as a Wild encounter, Tier 1 Raid Boss, Field Research reward encounter, and Tier 1 Shadow Raid Boss.

Currently, Pokemon GO trainers have a good chance of nabbing a Shiny Abra (if they are lucky) during the Abra Spotlight Hour. The event takes place on April 29, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, with the Psi Pokemon spawning at an increased rate in the wild.

Can You Increase the Chances of Catching Shiny Abra in Pokemon GO?

There’s no concrete way to increase your chances of catching Shiny Abra in Pokemon GO in general. It would only be possible if the developers announce an event or questline (free or paid) that includes Shiny Abra with a boosted spawn rate or as a reward encounter.
