The current Season of Mythical Wishes<\/a> aims to grant every Trainer’s wishes with many magical events and Mythical Pokémon arriving in-game. As we’re in the Holiday Season<\/a>, plenty of Ice and Water-type Pokémon will appear throughout the month in various events.<\/p>\n

This is evident with the month’s featured Pokémon for the Spotlight Hour event<\/a>, in which the lovable clapping Pokémon, Spheal, is ready to roll but can we spot a Shiny Spheal during the event? We explore if there will be a Shiny Spheal for Pokémon GO’s Spotlight Hour event.<\/p>\n

Is There A Shiny Spheal In Pokémon GO?<\/h2>\n

Trainers participating in the next Spotlight Hour event will be excited to learn that there is a chance of a Shiny Spheal<\/strong> spawning for the event’s duration. As Spotlight Hour highlights popular Pokémon within the dedicated community, the likelihood of Shiny forms is possible if you are lucky enough to encounter them.<\/p>\n

The Spheal Spotlight Hour takes place on 13th December 2022<\/strong> for an hour between 6 pm and 7 pm local time<\/strong>. During this limited-time event, you can take advantage of the event’s bonus of double catch XP<\/strong>, and the remaining event bonuses will be active for the Spotlight Hour.<\/p>\n

As XP can be used to level your Trainer Level, you’ll earn twice as much XP for this event when catching Pokémon. Likewise, we’ve previously stated in our Spotlight Hour guide; these are all the featured event bonuses for December 2022’s Spotlight Hour:<\/p>\n

    How To Find A Shiny Spheal in Pokémon GO?<\/h2>\n

    The best method for catching a Shiny Spheal is first to encounter it through wild encounters. As Spheal will appear more often during the Spotlight Hour, a Shiny Spheal won’t appear on the map, so you need to engage with it first.<\/p>\n

    A Shiny Spheal is easily noticed by the change of its outer appearance color from blue to light purple<\/strong>. Also, it will have the Shiny sparkles surrounding the Pokémon, but catching it shouldn’t give you too much trouble.<\/p>\n

    Trainers can use the standard Poké Balls and Lure Modules or Incense<\/strong> to lure Spheal to your location. Once you’ve spotted a Spheal, interact with it to see whether you’ve encountered a Spheal or its Shiny form.<\/p>\n
