How to get Wigglytuff in Pokemon Go, and can it be Shiny?

Niantic released the regular and Shiny forms of Wigglytuff in Pokemon GO in July 2016 and in April 2019, respectively, meaning both variants are obtainable. The mobile game offers different methods to get your hands on this Normal and Fairy-type Pokemon, from capturing in the wild to winning raid battles for encounters and more. Additionally, the traditional approach is always there, which is to evolve Igglybuff or Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff.

The method to acquire Shiny Wigglytuff or its counterpart follows the same process. So, let’s learn how you can find and catch these Pocket Monsters in the upcoming and future events.

Altogether, trainers have five ways to obtain Wigglytuff in Pokemon GO. They are as follows:

• Wild Encounter
• Raid Battles
• Field Research Tasks
• Evolve Igglybuff or Jigglypuff
• Trade

Wild Encounter

The natural spawning areas of Wigglytuff and Shiny Wigglytuff are locations with Partly Cloudy and Cloudy weather in-game. However, the likelihood of meeting the latter is meagerly low due to its Shiny odds. That said, you can increase the overall rate of these wild Pokemon in the game by activating the Lure Module and Incense.

Win raids

As of this writing, Wigglytuff in Pokemon GO has appeared as a 3-star Raid Boss multiple times. When it reappears, you can exploit its Poison and Steel-type weaknesses to beat it. When a boss Wigglytuff is defeated, the raid-hosting Gym gives you an encounter with either its forms, where encountering chance of the standard one is higher than the Shiny one.

Field Research Tasks

Trainers are also rewarded with Wigglytuff or its Shiny form encounters by completing certain Field Research Tasks provided by the PokeStops. However, getting these Pocket Monsters via this method is very demanding because Niantic has only featured them once in quest history.

Evolve Igglybuff or Jigglypuff

Where Igglybuff or Jigglypuff is slightly easy to encounter and catch, Wigglytuff in Pokemon GO is challenging. Because of this, you should evolve Igglybuff into Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff with a total expenditure of 75 Candies. Evolving the Shiny forms of these entities also requires the same amount of evolution consumables.

Trade

The final method to obtain Wigglytuff or Shiny Wigglytuff is to initiate a trade with your GO friends. You will need a trainer who is ready to give you his Pokemon. To complete the trading process, both traders must have a certain amount of Stardust in their account.
