The boosted spawn rate of Dunsparce helps the Spotlight Hour participants to encounter numerous Dunsparce quickly. Players can also use Pokemon GO items to increase the already boosted Dunsparce spawn rate further. The more Dunsparce spawns, the faster players may catch up to its Shiny spawn odds.

Pokemon GO items like Lure Modules and Incense and the Weather Boost function can significantly boost wild Pokemon spawn rates. Lure Modules attach to PokeStops/Gyms, Incense attaches to players, and Weather Boost enhances spawn rates in specific weather conditions.

Dunsparce experiences a spawn rate boost in areas with partly cloudy weather. One can look for PokeStops or Gyms with partly cloudy weather, use a Lure Module at a PokeStop or Gym, activate Incense, and walk around. This strategy maximizes spawn rates in Pokemon GO, improving the odds of encountering the elusive Shiny Dunsparce during featured events.
