How to Catch Shiny Spheal in Pokemon GO

The best way to look out for a Shiny Spheal while playingPokemon GOis to take part in any limited-time eventswhere the Pokemon is present. One of the most recent events was theSpheal Spotlight Hour, which greatly increases the chance of spotting a Spheal in the wild. If you need an additional boost to come across a Spheal, it is a good idea to use yourDaily Adventure Incense, and any otherIncense you have on handto attract the Pokemon. We also recommend usingLure Modulesat any PokeStop to attract the Pokemon to the area. The more Spheal you come across, the higher chance you’ll have of getting a Shiny Spheal.

The best way to quickly go about your Shiny Hunting process for Shiny Spheal is by quicklychecking each Spheal’s colorswhen they pop up, but not catching them all. This means when you find a Spheal, tap on it to begin the catching process, but if the Spheal is not the Shiny version, thenleave the encounterand move onto the next Spheal. Shiny Spheals will have apink colorrather than blue, so they will be easy to spot. This method is a good way to save on your PokeBalls and Berries so you can have enough to use on the Shiny Spheal when it appears.

Outside the Spheal Spotlight Hour, make sure to look out for anyCommunity Days or Raidsin the future where Spheal is present, or take advantage of itsweather boost in snowy and rainy weather. This will give you an even higher chance of spotting its Shiny form, with aboosted Shiny Rate. Otherwise, the Shiny Rate will be its standard 1 in 500, so you will just have to wait it out and go through as many Spheals as you can before spotting a Shiny.
