Pokemon Go Wailmer Spotlight Hour July 2023 Shiny Status & Bonuses
If you are wondering whether a shiny variant of Wailmer exists in Pokemon Go, there is some good news as the shiny variant of Walimer does exist in Pokemon Go. While the regular form of Wailmer is blue in color, theshiny variant is Pink in color,which makes it quite easy to spot in the wild, coupled with the sparkles one would see with Shiny Pokemon. That being said, bear in mind that the shiny rates remain the same during the event, so it is still going to be quite difficult to find one. The current odds for finding a shiny Wailmer sit at 1 out of 909, but with the increased spawn rate, your chances might get slightly better.
Coming to the bonus for this week, players will be getting twice the amount of XP they usually get for catching Pokemon, so it is a really good time to collect some XP. This bonus applies to all Pokemon and not just Wailmer, so even if you are not looking to catch Wailmer or its shiny counterpart, you can still get some value out of the event.
