Pokemon Go: Recently released Wooloo gets a Spotlight Hour

The Pokemon Wooloo in Twilight Wings

Pokemon Go is planning a Wooloo spotlight hour to celebrate the recent release of the Sheep Pokemon from Gen VIII. Make sure not to miss out.

If you somehow have managed to capture more than enough Wooloo before this spotlight can begin for your own needs, the only thing left to consider is the event special bonus, which is doubled evolution experience.

When is the Wooloo Spotlight hour in Pokemon Go?

The Pokemon Go Wooloo Spotlight hour will start on the 31st of August at 6:00 PM local time, and end, as the name implies, precisely one hour later at 7:00 PM.

As you’d expect from the name, an hour is a typical duration for these events.

Local time for anyone not already familiar with it refers to the time where you personally are, so the event launches at different times around the planet – no need to worry about timezones in other words.

What can we expect from the Wooloo spotlight hour?

If you’re not used to taking part in Spotlight hours in Pokemon go yet, they’re basically a one hour version of the spawns portion of a Community day. In short, they replace pretty much all of the spawns in the game with the Pokemon in the Spotlight – which in this case means Wooloo.

That’s great if you like Wooloo and want more of them, not so good if you don’t like that Pokemon though.

These events do throw in an extra bonus for Trainers who aren’t sold on the spotlight Pokemon alone though, and for this event, the bonus will be doubled evolution experience for the duration. Unfortunately, one of the least useful bonuses.

That means that Wooloo is pretty much the sole attraction for this event.

Anything else to know?

Typically, it’d be worth considering taking part in a spotlight hour to try to farm the Shiny version of the featured Pokemon due to the large numbers of them spawning, however, Shiny Wooloo is highly unlikely to be available given it was only recently released before this event.

Using a method I’ve covered in this article here, called Shiny checking, you can use a lot of Pokemon spawns in a short time to try to find a Shiny. This is most effective during Spotlight hours and Community days where spawns of a single Pokemon species are abundant and quickly replaced.

With that said, we’re probably not seeing Shiny Wooloo in this event, unfortunately, so that’s about it for this article.
