Pokemon GO events like Wingull Spotlight Hour boost the probability of a Shiny Wingull spawning. Such events featuring Wingull increase its wild spawn rate, which can aid in a Shiny encounter. But it takes a lot of work to get a Shiny variant; you need to strategize to make it happen.
Wingull is a dual Water and Flying-type Pokemon, and its Pokemon GO CP can reach a maximum of 865. Evolving the monster into a Pelipper further increases its maximum CP to 2404. This increase in power raises the value of their Shiny variants, making Shiny Wingull and Shiny Pelipper a desired catch for Shiny collectors. That said, this guide details the best method to get a Shiny Wingull and Shiny Pelipper in the game.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Wingull
In-game events like the Pokemon GO Wingull Spotlight Hour boost Wingull's wild spawn rate. The increased wild spawn rate makes it easier to encounter numerous Wingull, and the more Wingull you encounter, the faster you may match its Shiny odds. Since there is no surefire method of securing a Shiny encounter, your best bet is to match the monster’s Shiny odds. You must capitalize on the event’s boosted spawn rate and strategize with different in-game items to make the best out of it.
Several Pokemon GO items have the ability to boost wild Pokemon spawn rate. In-game items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can increase wild Pokemon spawn rate in specific areas of effect. While the Lure Module attaches to a PokeStop or Gym and increases the wild Pokemon spawn rate around that area, Incense attaches to a player and increases the wild spawn wherever the player walks. The Weather Boost is a passive effect that increases the wild spawn rate for specific types of Pokemon around areas with particular weather conditions. Using all these three elements simultaneously can significantly increase the wild Pokemon spawn rate.
Wingull’s Weather Boost triggers in areas with rainy and windy weather, so you should look for a Pokemon GO PokeStop or Gym with such weather. Attach a Lure Module to that PokeStop or Gym, activate an Incense, and walk around that specific area. Following this strategy during events featuring Wingull will stack the effects of these items to the already boosted Wingull spawn rate. The more Wingull you encounter, the faster you may match its Shiny odds.
