Tonight is Wooper Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, September 5th, this Pokémon will appear throughout the hour with increased frequency in the wild. It will also respond more frequently to Incense and even pop up in spawn points that are not normally active. You will need to get out there and walk in order to activate that Incense buff, though. This is the first Spotlight Hour of September 2023 in Pokémon GO, kicking off the new Season entitled Adventures Abond.

For the Shiny hunters wonder, Wooper can indeed be Shiny. Shiny Wooper was released during a surprise event called Wooper Watch on December 10, 2020. Shiny Wooper is a terrific Shiny and is noticeably different. The standard Wooper above has blue skin, a blue WiFi symbol on its belly, and purplish-brown branching gills. Shiny Wooper becomes totally pink, with its gills turning orange and its WiFi symbol turning purple.

This is Wooper's second Spotlight Hour in less than a year. The bonus for tonight is double XP for evolving, which cannot be simultaneously used while catching. You'll have to choose between Shiny hunting and XP grinding through evolution. If you choose the latter, drop Lucky Eggs the entire time you're evolving.
