Tonight Is Wailmer Spotlight Hour In Pokémon GO: Hidden Gems

Tonight is Wailmer Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO and here's everything you need to know to find Shiny Wailmer and cash in on the bonus.


Tonight is Wailmer Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6–7 PM tonight, Tuesday, July 10th, this Pokémon will appear throughout the hour with increased frequency in the wild. It will also be responding more frequently to Incense and will 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 second of four Spotlight Hours of July 2023 in Pokémon GO, so we will cover what's to come this month at the end of this piece. First, though, let's get into the details for tonight.

First of all, Wailmer can indeed be Shiny in Pokémon GO. This is a great Shiny and is also quite easy to tell apart. Wailmer, pictured above, is blue with a sandy-colored belly in its normal form. Standard whale colors. The Shiny Wailmer replaces the blue with purple.

Tonight's Spotlight Hour bonus is double XP for catching. This bonus can be increased by dropping two Lucky Eggs at the start of the hour.
