How To Get Shiny Dewpider In Pokemon GO
Dewpider is an Incense Day: Skorupi event’s wild spawn and lucky Pokemon GO players can also find its Shiny variant. As troublesome as it might be to find Dewpider in the wild, encountering a Shiny is more challenging. While players can encounter a wild Shiny Dewpider, it isn't guaranteed. One must encounter and catch as many Dewpider as possible to catch up to its Shiny spawn odds.
Shiny encounters are interlinked with each monster's spawn rate and Shiny odds. While there's no guaranteed way to boost the spawn rate of a specific monster, using different Pokemon GO items can improve the odds.
Since Dewpider is a Water and Bug-type monster, one can use the Pokemon GO Incense Encounter timings to exploit its increased spawn rate. Bug-type Pokemon are assigned as Incense Encounters from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, and 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Dewpider spawns at a higher rate during these periods, and players can also stack other items and the Weather boost effect to push it further.
In-game items like Incense and Lure Modules can boost the Pokemon spawn rate in a particular area. One can also note that Dewpider spawns more in rainy weather; locations with such weather conditions are favorable for Shiny hunting. Further, using the above items in rainy weather will exponentially increase its spawn rate and help catch up to its Shiny odds.
Trainers should find a Pokemon GO PokeStop or Gym with rainy weather conditions and attach a Lure Module while activating an Incense. Then, walk around the area for the Incense’s effect to kick in. Doing this stacks the effect of all the items with the Weather boost function, increasing Dewpider’s spawn rate.
How To Get Shiny Araquanid In Pokemon GO
Catching a Shiny Araquanid directly through a wild spawn is impossible. After getting their hands on a Shiny Dewpider, trainers must evolve it into a Shiny Araquanid. One can do so by feeding 50 candy to a Shiny Dewpider. Trainers can acquire the required amount of Pokemon GO Candy through the transfer system, catching multiple Dewpider, or the buddy system.
