Niantic is set to wrap up all the activities for their ongoing Valentine’s Day event<\/a>, as the weekly Spotlight Hour<\/a> will begin shortly. Coinciding with the current seasonal event, the developer will bring the loveable bat-looking Pokémon, Woobat, to the game.<\/p>\n

Known for its fluffy appearance, this Psychic\/Flying Pokémon can also bring love-induced fortune should it leave its mark on Trainers, but will you spot a Shiny Woobat? We explore the chances of Trainers encountering a Shiny Woobat in Pokémon GO.<\/p>\n

Will There Be A Shiny Woobat In Pokémon GO?<\/h2>\n

The Psychic\/Flying Pokémon, Woobat, may be small, fuzzy, and slightly adorable, but it has been closely associated with good fortune, especially for romantic prospects. Nevertheless, if you want to add Woobat to your Pokédex, you could encounter a Shiny Woobat in-game.<\/p>\n

      As you’ll be encountering Woobat more frequently in the wild, you can utilize any Incense or activate a Lure Module<\/a><\/strong>, which must be used on a PokéStop. Either item will attract the loveable Shiny Woobat to your current location, making it easier to catch the Pokémon.<\/p>\n

      Once you’ve encountered a Shiny Woobat, don’t forget to check your Bag to ensure you have enough Poké Balls<\/strong> to catch the Pokémon. For Trainers making progress on the month’s Field Research tasks<\/strong><\/a>, this would be an excellent opportunity to use any of the Throws to boost your chances of catching Woobat.<\/p>\n

      Lastly, take advantage of feeding Berries to ensure that you will acquire a Woobat or Shiny Woobat. Razz Berries<\/strong> can increase your success rate, Nanab Berries<\/strong> will slow it down, and Pinap Berries<\/strong> will double the amount of Candy you’ll earn once it is caught.<\/p>\n
