Pokémon GO is full of powerful and unique Pokémon to catch, and many are difficult to come by. The shiny variants are the rarest and most sought-after Pokémon in the game. These are extremely difficult to find, and it can be nearly impossible to find a specific shiny Pokémon outside of a Community Day or an event, like the Mythic Blade event. The most desired shiny variants are the ones that have a complete color swap, as Wooper does.

How to catch a shiny Wooper in Pokémon GO

Catching a shiny Wooper is no easy feat. The easiest way at the moment is to find a Wooper in the wild. This is also the most tedious way to encounter a shiny. At the time of writing, there hasn't been a Wooper Community Day, and there likely won't be in the future, and Wooper has not been prominently featured in any meaningful way during events or celebrations. Players wanting a shiny Wooper can search for the Pokémon near bodies of water, as that is where Water-type Pokémon are more likely to spawn.
