Yungoos Spotlight Hour starts July 25, Tuesday, at 6:00 p.m. local time and ends at 7:00 p.m. local time the same day. Yungoos will spawn more during the event, and players will receive 2X Transfer Candy for catching it.

Pokemon GO: Can Yungoos Be Shiny?

During the Spotlight Hour, Yungoos spawn faster in the wild than usual. Shiny Yungoos is available to catch, and Pokemon GO players need to encounter multiple Yungoos to increase their chance of encountering its Shiny variant. Encounters with a Shiny Pokemon depend on the original variant's spawn rate; hence one must reach the required Shiny rate.

Enthusiasts determined to catch a Shiny can use several Pokemon GO in-game items and functions. The in-game features like Weather Boost and other items directly affect the Pokemon spawn rate. In the case of Yungoos, Partly Cloudy Weather boosts its spawn rate, so players need to camp around the areas with the particular weather condition.

Players can attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module at Gyms and PokeStops to increase their chances of encountering a Shiny. Also, activating an Incense and traversing can significantly boost the Pokemon spawn rate. One can purchase these items through PokeCoins from the in-game store.

Trainers can also stack the effects of these in-game items and functions if used simultaneously. During Spotlight Hour, attach a Lure Module at a Pokemon GO PokeStop or Gym with Rainy Weather conditions, activate an Incense, and walk around the area. This strategy stacks their effects and boosts Yungoos spawn rate drastically, helping players to catch up to its Shiny spawn rate quickly. However, the game doesn't guarantee a Shiny encounter, but using this strategy can increase the chances.

Pokemon GO is available to play on Android and iOS devices.
