Pokemon GO releases Shiny Wiglett and Shiny Wugtrio as featured Pokemon in the 2025 Adventure Week event. While there is only one way to encounter a Shiny Wiglett, strategizing correctly can increase your chances. After catching a Shiny Wiglett, you can evolve the Pokemon into a powerful Shiny Wugtrio.
You can encounter Shiny Wiglett in Pokemon GO from Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 10 AM Local Time, when the Adventure Week event starts. You can encounter a Wiglett while you walk around in the wild, but the event boosts its wild spawn rate in some specific areas. You can boost your chances of a Shiny Wiglett spawn using a particular strategy. That said, this guide details the best way to get Shiny Wiglett in Pokemon GO.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Wiglett As A Wild Spawn
You can encounter Shiny Wiglett in Pokemon GO in the wild during featured events like the 2025 Adventure Week. Since it is a Water-type Pokemon, the event boosts Wiglett spawn rate in areas with beaches or water. You will encounter numerous Wiglett in such areas, which can help you reach its Shiny odds. Using specific in-game elements can further boost the event-increased Wiglett spawn rate.
You can use Pokemon GO Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost effect to boost the wild Pokemon spawn rate. Their effects can stack if used simultaneously; the strategy is even useful during events featuring Wiglett.
Wiglett spawns more in areas with sunny weather, but the Adventure Week 2025 event boosts its spawn rate in beaches or water areas. The best strategy would be to find a PokeStop around a sunny beach and attach a Lure Module to it. Once done, activate a Pokemon GO Incense and walk around the Lure's area of effect.
This strategy can boost the wild Wiglett spawn rate, which helps you encounter several Wiglett and match its Shiny odds. But Shiny encounters aren't guaranteed, even after using the strategy; only some lucky players might encounter a Shiny Wiglett in Pokemon GO.
Other wild Pokemon with identical Weather Boost and event-boost might also spawn alongside Wiglett.
