Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Wimpod
Pokemon GO trainers have better chances of encountering a wild Shiny Wimpod during featured events that boost its spawn rat e. Events like 2024 Sizeable Surprises that feature Wimpod increase its wild spawn rate, which might help catch up to its Shiny odds. The more Standard variants are encountered, the quicker players may match the monster’s Shiny spawn odds.
One can also use multiple Pokemon GO items like Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost function to boost wild spawn rate around specific areas. Using these items strategically during events that feature Wimpod can notably increase its wild spawn rate.
Rainy weather triggers the Weather Boost for Wimpod. Trainers must look for a PokeStop or Gym in areas with rainy weather, attach a Lure Module, activate a Pokemon GO Incense, and walk around that area. Doing so will stack their effects on top of the already boosted Wimpod wild spawn rate, triggering multiple Wimpod spawns that may help match its shiny odds.
Even though following this strategy boosts the chances, it still doesn't guarantee that players will encounter a Shiny Wimpod.
