Niantic organizes special events like the Morelull Spotlight Hour, offering trainers opportunities to catch Morelull and Shiny Morelull in Pokemon GO. The Shiny Illuminating Pokemon is available to encounter; however, collectors find this ordeal quite challenging. A regular Morelull has a decent spawn rate, so you can easily find it in the game, unlike its counterpart.

In events like the Morelull Spotlight Hour, you will have an hour to encounter and catch the featured Pokemon. During the run time, those who play the game strategically can improve their chances of encountering regular and Shiny forms of Morelull.

This article details everything you need to know about getting both variants of Morelull in Pokemon GO.

Niantic regularly announces fresh events. The Spotlight Hour event is the best for those who have yet to capture the Grass and Fire-type Pokemon. It also features its Shiny variant.

That said, here are all the methods for encountering/catching the bulb-like creature:

Catch in the wild
Hatch Pokemon Eggs
Win Raid Battles
Complete Research Tasks
Trade

Catch Morelull in the wild

Catching a Morelull in the wild becomes challenging if you’re in the wrong habitat. This monster experiences a spawn boost when you are present in Sunny or Cloudy weather conditions. So, find a place with any one of these weathers. After that, turn on the effects of the Lure Module and Incense to further boost Morelull’s wild appearance rate.

If a Shiny Morelull is available in the wild, be in its favorable weather and use lure items to encounter it. However, the likelihood of meeting one is particularly low.

Hatch Pokemon Eggs

Hatching Pokemon eggs is the second way to obtain Morelull in Pokemon GO, but you can only do so when a Niantic event features it in eggs.

Win Raid Battles

You can beat Morelull in 1-star raids to earn encounters with its regular and Shiny forms. To do so, pick Poison, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Steel-type attacks. When you win, your chances of meeting a regular Morelull will increase.

Complete Research Tasks

Research Tasks assigned by Niantic reward valuable items and Pokemon encounters. By completing them, you may be able to get Morelull or Shiny Morelull.

Trade

Ask your Pokemon GO friends if they would like to trade Morelull or Shiny Morelull in Pokemon GO. If interested, they would need Stardust to complete the trade.

How to get Shiny Morelull in Pokemon GO

The probability of encountering a Shiny Morelull in events like the Morelull Spotlight Hour is slightly high but it doesn’t guarantee a catch. You can also get it by catching it in the wild, completing Field Research quests, beating raids, through trades, or hatching Pokemon eggs.
