The latest Pokemon GO Spotlight Hour event features the mushroom Pokemon Shroomish. The event keeps rotating, featuring a new Pokemon every time with an increased spawn rate and other bonuses. Shroomish, the Gen 3 Grass-type Pokemon, is coming to the event for trainers to catch it.
Shroomish has a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 916 and a stamina-based stat spread of 74 (ATK), 110 (DEF), and 155 (STA). The monster experiences a weather boost during sunny weather conditions. Players can evolve Shroomish into Breloom for 50 Candy, significantly increasing its stats and power level. One can also get their hands on a Shiny Shroomish during the Spotlight Hour runtime. This guide details everything trainers need to know about the Shroomish Spotlight Hour.

Pokemon GO: Shroomish Spotlight Hour And Bonuses
The Shroomish Spotlight Hour starts on October 10 at 6 PM and runs for an hour until 7 PM local time. The event increases the Shroomish spawn rate, and Pokemon GO players get 2x Evolution XP as a bonus reward. One also has a chance to encounter Shiny Shroomish during the event, which can later evolve into a Shiny Breloom.
The Grass-type Gen 3 Pokemon is vulnerable to Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison-type moves but is resistant to Electric, Grass, Ground, and Water-type attacks in Pokemon GO. Shroomish and its evolution are potent Grass-types with well-performing moves for PvP and PvE battles.
Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Shroomish And Shiny Breloom
Shiny Pokemon are what trainers consider prized possessions in Pokemon GO, but they’re challenging to encounter and require extreme grinding. Although one might catch up to Shroomis’s Shiny odds because of the event’s boosted spawn rate, it is still tedious. Trainers must catch as many Shroomish as possible during the event to secure their odds of encountering its shiny variant.
The best strategy to catch wild Shiny variants is to use in-game items like Lure Modules and Incense. Players can also stack these items with the Weather Boost effect to further increase the spawn rate. Shroomish’s spawn rate boosts during sunny weather; hunting around areas with such weather can help catch up to its Shiny odds faster.
Trainers must find a Pokemon GO Pokestop or Gym, attach a Mossy or Standard Lure Module, and activate an Incense while walking around the area. This strategy stacks the effect of all these items with the Weather Boost, significantly increasing Shroomish’s spawn rate.
The increase in Shroomish encounters may raise the chances of encountering a Shiny Shroomish. Trainers should note that the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed; not everyone will face a Shiny Shroomish, but using the above method might increase the chances.
After catching a Shiny Shroomish, all that’s left is to evolve it into a Shiny Breloom. The evolution process costs 50 Pokemon GO Candy, and once it’s complete, players can finally get a Shiny Breloom.
