Questions people ask

Is Jynx good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Jynx has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Jynx?
Jynx has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Jynx a good raid attacker?
Jynx ranks #54 of 231 ice attackers with 12.3 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Jynx be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Jynx is available from evolution, photobomb, raid, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
