Can Sudowoodo Be Shiny?

While the chance of capturing a shiny Sudowoodo does not rise during the Spotlight Hour, the number of Sudowoodos does, which means you have a better chance of getting one.

Sudowoodo's gleaming surface is truly one-of-a-kind. The Sudowoodo shiny variant, unlike some other Pokemon's shiny variations, offers it a completely new look. Sudowoodo's main body is brown, like a tree, and its hands feature green orbs that resemble leaves or unripe fruit in the normal version. Sudowoodo's primary body is green, like a moss-covered tree, and the green leaves or unripe fruit orbs are replaced with red, ripe fruit orbs in the shining form.

Sudowoodo Spotlight Hour Bonuses

There is a Spotlight Hour Bonus for each Spotlight Hour. The Sudowoodo Spotlight Hour Bonus is 2x Catch XP for the whole hour. This boost applies to all Pokemon captured during this time period, not just Sudowoodo. In Pokemon GO, the level of Pokemon you catch in the wild is determined by your XP. You're more likely to get a more powerful Pokemon if you're at a higher level.
