Can Shiny Wooloo Be Found in Pokémon Go?

Discovering Shiny Wooloo in Pokémon Go

Wooloo, the sheep Pokémon from Galar, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. *Yes*, Wooloo can be shiny in Pokémon Go! The adorable sheep orb, Wooloo, is a great shiny with its color scheme inverting. Unfortunately, neither of these Pokémon see much use in PvP or PvE, but they do look very good. Who can resist a round sheep?

Shiny Rate for Wooloo

What is the shiny rate for Wooloo in Pokémon Go? According to old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokémon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Wooloo is not a confirmed Pokémon that gets a “permaboost” (meaning that it’s a rare spawn and thus gets a boosted shiny rate).

Attracting Shiny Pokémon

What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon? Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are set by developer Niantic, and they are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that boost shiny Pokémon rates.
