Pokemon GO introduced Shiny Wimpod, Shiny Golisopod, and other Shiny creatures during the 2024 Sizeable Surprises event. This in-game event showcases Wimpod and Shiny Wimpod as wild spawns. Once players capture a Shiny Wimpod, they can progress to obtaining a Shiny Golisopod.

Trainers can acquire Shiny Wimpod and Shiny Golisopod from the 2024 Sizeable Surprises event on Thursday, April 4, at 10:00 AM Local Time. Both the Standard and Shiny versions of Wimpod possess similar stats and damage output. While featured events enhance Wimpod's wild spawn rate, encountering a wild Shiny Wimpod demands dedicated gameplay. To evolve it into Shiny Golisopod, one must first secure a Shiny Wimpod. This guide outlines the optimal approach to obtaining both Shiny Wimpod and Shiny Golisopod in the game.

How to Encounter Shiny Wimpod

Trainers stand a higher chance of encountering a wild Shiny Wimpod during special events that boost its spawn rate. Events like the 2024 Sizeable Surprises that highlight Wimpod elevate its wild spawn rate, potentially aiding in catching it with its Shiny appearance. The more Standard Wimpod variants encountered, the faster players can align with the Shiny spawn odds.

Leveraging various Pokemon GO items such as Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost feature can amplify the wild spawn rate in specific areas. Strategically using these items during Wimpod-centric events significantly increases its wild spawn rate.

Rainy weather triggers the Weather Boost for Wimpod. Trainers should locate a PokeStop or Gym in rainy areas, deploy a Lure Module, activate Pokemon GO Incense, and explore the vicinity. This action enhances the boosted Wimpod wild spawn rate, leading to multiple Wimpod sightings that may align with its Shiny odds. It's important to note that even with these tactics, encountering a Shiny Wimpod is not guaranteed.

Strategies for Shiny Golisopod Evolution

Upon capturing a Shiny Wimpod, players can progress to evolve it into a Shiny Golisopod. The evolution process is simple, but accumulating Wimpod Candy in Pokemon GO is crucial.

To evolve a Shiny Wimpod into a Shiny Golisopod, 400 Candy is needed. Gathering this amount of Candy entails dedicated effort. Trainers can catch and transfer multiple Wimpod, complete specific Research tasks, or designate Wimpod as the Buddy Pokemon and engage in tasks to accumulate the Candy.
