Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Swablu As A Wild Spawn
You can encounter a wild Shiny Swablu as you walk around onthePokemon GOmap, but the chances of encounter improve during specific featured events. Most events featuring Swablu increase its wild spawn rate, and you can capitalize on it to match the monster’s Shiny odds. There are several in-game items that can further increase Swablu’s wild spawn rate if used strategically.
Pokemon GOIncense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can increase wild Pokemon spawn rate. Incense increases the wild Pokemon spawn rate wherever a trainer walks, andLure Modules attach to a PokeStopand increase the wild Pokemon spawn rate around the PokeStop. Unlike them, Weather Boost is a passive effect that automatically activates in specific weather conditions and boosts wild Pokemon spawn rate.
This strategy can stack all their effects on top of the already boosted Swablu spawn rate during featuredPokemon GOevents. But, multiple Pokemon have identical Weather Boost conditions, so other Pokemon might also spawn instead of a Swablu.
