Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Wailmer
Pokemon GO developers at Niantic have set Wailmer and Shiny Wailmer as wild spawns. In addition, sometimes these monsters also come as Research task encounters or Collection Challenge rewards during featured events. Regarding wild Wailmer, although getting a Standard variant is easy, encountering a Shiny Wailmer is challenging.
During featured events, Wailmer experiences a boost in its wild spawn rate, which might help players catch up to its Shiny odds. Specific Pokemon GO items can also increase the wild monster spawn rate around a particular area. Using these items during such events can stack their effects and notably increase the Wailmer spawn rate in the wild.
Pokemon GO Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can boost the spawn rate of wild monsters around particular areas. Regarding Wailmer, it spawns more around areas with rainy weather. Players must look for a PokeStop or Gym with rainy weather, attach a Lure Module, activate an Incense, and traverse around that PokeStop or Gym. This method can work well during events that already boost Wailmer’s spawn rate. The more Standard variants players encounter, the faster they might catch up to its Shiny odds.

Pokemon GO players need 400 Candy to evolve their Shiny Wailmer into a Shiny Wailord. It is tough to collect 400 Candy, but one can take advantage of Wailmer's boosted spawn rate. Catch and transfer multiple Wailmer, do daily activities with Wailmer as the Buddy Pokemon, or complete featured Research tasks to collect the required amount of Candy.
