As soon as Pokemon GO's Dazzling Dream kicks off, you can start hunting Swirlix. The creature can be found in wild encounters, Eggs, and Field Research. However, you can't find Slurpuff in this event.

You can follow the same hunting procedure to get Shiny Swirlix, but luck must be in your favor. Only then can you get Shiny Slurpuff.

Wild encounters

The Cotton Candy Pokemon, Swirlix, appears in the wild along with Spritzee and Cutiefly. Its Shiny form can also be found in Pokemon GO wild encounters, but only a lucky player can stumble upon that.

There is no way to guarantee an encounter, but you can benefit from the lure items. Resources like Lure Modules and Incense can significantly impact your Dazzling Dream event experience.

Therefore, please make sure you activate the Lure Module and Incense. While the former is attached to a PokeStop, the latter is used on a trainer. Once the activation is complete, you can walk around the lured Pokestop to attract more Fairy-type Pokemon. This strategy might draw Shiny Swirlix to your location.

Pokemon Eggs

You can hatch 7 KM Pokemon Eggs during the GO Dazzling Dream to find Shiny Swirlix. However, it is not guaranteed that you will encounter it. Your chances of getting its regular form are much higher. As a result, you may also come across Togepic, Spritzee, and Cutiefly in your hunting endeavor.

Field Research

The last method available to find Shiny Swirlix is to complete Field Research. Obtaining the critter will allow you to evolve it into Shiny Slurpuff.
