Wimpod has been available in Pok\u00e9mon Go for a long time but, like many other species, its Shiny form wasn\u2019t included on arrival. So, you\u2019re probably left wondering if it's worth Shiny hunting. There are several ways Pok\u00e9mon get Shiny forms in Niantic\u2019s mobile hit, but the most common is to be featured in an event. With Wimpod set to be featured in the upcoming Sizeable Surprises event it begs the question, will Shiny Wimpod finally make its Pok\u00e9mon Go debut? Is Shiny Wimpod available in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Wimpod's Shiny form will join Pok\u00e9mon Go with the Sizeable Surprises event that kicks off on April 4, 2024. From then on you\u2019ll be able to find this unique version of the Bug and Water-type Pok\u00e9mon roaming around the world. You can identify a Shiny Wimpod from its unique red appearance. While the original is typically White and Purple, when found Shiny it will be Red and White instead. This should make it easy to spot without causing any confusion. With the addition of Wimpod\u2019s Shiny form, you can also get Golisopod\u2019s too. This evolution is available in Pok\u00e9mon Go and similarly, the Shiny form has red features instead of purple. So basically the Sizeable Surprises event will have multiple new Shiny Pok\u00e9mon to collect. Shiny Wimpod lands in Pok\u00e9mon Go on April 4, so if it's on or after that day make sure you get out and hunt for this prize.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Pokemon-Go-Sizeable-Surprises-art.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173128"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1837"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1173128"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1173143,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173128\/revisions\/1173143"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1173133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1173128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1173128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1173128"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1173128"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1173128"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1173128"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1173128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
