Pokemon GOSpotlight Hour goes live weekly; this hour-long event features various Pokemon and offers attractive bonuses. So, players must clear their schedules and gear up for an action-packed 60 minutes Spotlight Hour to catch Wailmer this week. Meanwhile, enthusiasts are trying to determine if they can get a Shiny Wailmer.
Wailmer is a Water-type originally found in Hoenn Region (Gen 3). The monster boasts a max Pokemon GO CP of 1659, a stat of 136 Attack, 68 Defense, and 277 Stamina — the monster’s best moveset includes Water Gun and Heavy Slam. Shiny monsters are prized possessions, and a Shiny Wailmer will be a great addition to anyone’s Pokedex. Here’s everything about the Wailmer Spotlight Hour and its Shiny variant.
Pokemon GO: Wailmer Spotlight Hour Time and Bonus
Pokemon GO Wailmer Spotlight Hour starts July 11 at 6:00 p.m. and runs for an hour before ending at 7:00 p.m. Local Time. During the event, Wailmer will spawn at a higher rate, and participants will receive a special bonus of 2× Catch XP.
Wailmer is vulnerable to Electric and Grass-type moves, and Rainy weather can boost its spawn rate. The monster possesses impressive stamina, so players need to grind it out to catch themselves a Wailmer.
Pokemon GO: Can Wailmer Be Shiny?
During the event, Wailmer spawns at a higher rate in the wild. The best way to find a Shiny Wailmer is to catch as many Wailmer as possible. This increases the chances of catching up to its Shiny rate and encountering a Shiny Wailmer. Shiny Pokemon wild encounters depend on the spawn rate, so gamers must reach the required Shiny rate to increase their chances.
Players looking to catch a Shiny Wailmer can use multiple in-game items and functions. In-game features like Weather Boost and other Pokemon GO items can increase the Pokemon spawn rate. As Rainy weather boosts Wailmer’s spawn rate, it will be a good idea for players to camp around areas with similar weather conditions.
One can use Pokemon GO Incense and Lure Module at PokeStops or Gyms to increase their chances. All the in-game items are obtainable through PokeCoins available in the in-game store.
When used simultaneously, Incense, Lure Module, and Weather Boost can maximize one’s chances of grabbing a Shiny. Players can attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module at a PokeStop or Gym in Rainy Weather conditions, use Incense, and stroll around the area during Spotlight Hour. It will increase the already boosted spawn rate of Wailmer and up the chances of catching a Shiny Wailmer. Although an encounter with a Shiny Wailmer is not guaranteed, using all these items and a proper strategy to go with them will increase the chances significantly.
Pokemon GO is available for Android and iOS.
