How to get Wooloo in Pokemon Go

Normal-type Wooloo can be found in the wild in Pokemon Go. However, this Pokemon is usually found in the wild during special events, like Special Research or Spotlight Hours.

For example, Niantic increased the spawn rate for Wooloo in Go during the Catching Some Z’s event that went live in July 2023. Thus, it’s wise to take advantage of an opportunity to add Wooloo to the collection.

Can Wooloo be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, a Shiny version of Wooloo can be found and caught in Pokemon Go.

Despite Wooloo being a part of the game since 2021, developer Niantic only added a Shiny version of the Pokemon as part of the 2024 Go All Out event.
