Pokemon GOdevelopers at Nianticregularly feature a specific monster for the Spotlight Hour event, and this time, the feature is Seel. The mini-event runs for an hour, increasing Seel’s wild spawn rate during its runtime. The Seel Spotlight Hour participants also have the possibility of encountering a Shiny Seel.

The Water-type monster boasts a maximumPokemon GOCombat Power (CP)of 1098 with stats comprising 85 ATK, 121 DEF, and 163 STA. Evolving the monster results in a Dewgong with a maximum CP cap of 2245 and a stamina-centric stat spread of 139 ATK, 177 DEF, and 207 STA. That said, this guide details everything you must know about the Seel Spotlight Hour event.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Seel And Shiny Dewgong
Since the Seel Spotlight Hour event boosts Seel’s wild spawn rate, you’re able to encounter numerous Seel quickly. Doing so might already help you catch up to its Shiny odds, butsomePokemon GOitemscan further increase wild Pokemon spawn rates.
Incense, Lure Modules, and Weather Boost effect can significantly increase Pokemon spawn rates in the wild. When used strategically, you may further boost any featured monster’s wild spawn rate during an event. Regarding Seel, the more Seel you encounter, the faster you might match the Shiny odds inPokemon GO.
Although Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can be used individually, the strategy here is to use them simultaneously. Seel experiences a Weather Boost in areas with rainy weather conditions. Locate a PokeStop or Gym with such weather and attach a Lure Module. Once it is done,activate an Incenseand walk around that area. This strategy can significantly increase the already boosted Seel spawn rate during the Spotlight Hour’s runtime.
Once you catch a Shiny Seel, you must evolve it into a Shiny Dewgong. The evolution process is straightforward as the only requirement is 50Pokemon GOCandy. You can use the Spotlight Hour’s boosted spawn rate to catch and transfer multiple Seel andfarm the required amount of Candy. You will get a Shiny Dewgong after collecting the Candy and evolving your Shiny Seel.
