This week Spotlight hour is all about the Pokémon Ball Whale, which means it’s the perfect opportunity to catch a Wailmer In Pokemon Go.
Wailmer isn’t the most exciting Pokémon in Pokémon Go. Wailmer is a relatively common spawn, Wailord isn’t good at raids, and it’s pretty awful in Go Battle League. The only real use it has is as a Gym defender if you want to annoy anyone attacking the Gym, thanks to the size of this chonky Pokemon’s health bar.
One thing that’s exciting about this Spotlight hour, though, is that Wailmer is relatively easy to get a great Curveball throw, so the double bonus XP capture running alongside the event will be extremely useful for those looking to rack up some XP fast!

Wailmer 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go
This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Wailmer with perfect IV stats.
“Perfect” means two things in Pokémon Go, depending on how you plan to use a given Pokémon. First, there’s the 100% Max IV build, which is the 15/15/15 you’re after for your 4* Pokédex, Raids, and Master League. Yet, due to the way CP is calculated using three stats, a perfect Pokémon IV is usually just the best version of itself in the Master League.
Of course, you can’t see a Pokemon’s IV without catching it first, but with a little research beforehand, you can quickly spot a perfect Wailmer based on CP alone.
If you’re level 30 (or higher), you’ll ideally be looking for the following PCs for a perfect Wailmer 15/15/15:
The wild CP value aligns with your trainer level until you reach level 30, and since the majority of the player base is now above that level, we’ve kept these values for the sake of it. of simplicity. These values will however be different if you are currently below level 30.
The Season of Hidden Gems has arrived, bringing with it a new season of Go Battle League.
The 7th Anniversary Party is currently happening in Pokémon Go, bringing PokéStop Showcases, the return of the All-on-One Quest #151, and the 7th Anniversary Party Timed Research Quest to Pokémon Go.
Elsewhere, be sure to participate in Shadow Raids, use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance to encounter Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, and Galarian Moltres. This incense can also allow you to encounter other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
Is Wailord good in PVP?
There are definitely worse water types, but no, Wailord isn’t great in Go Battle League.
But first, Wailmer – if you watch the Great League, Wailmer is your best bet, with Water Pistol, Body Slam and Heavy Slam – oh, and the fact that you can get a level 50 Wailmer into the Great League is just gross. Nothing here is particularly noteworthy – just spamming the Slam.
So how is it going ? You can beat Azumarill, Galarian Stunfisk, Alolan Ninetails, Walrein, and Sableye. However, no amount of Stardust invested in Wailmer (and you need a plot) will have you beating Lanturn, Medicham, Swampert or Noctowl.
In Ultra League, this Wailord takes over as your best bet, with Water gun, surf and blizzard. Again, we’re looking at a level 50 Pokémon, coming in at 2496 CP, helping you beat Talonflame, Galarian Stunfisk, Charizard, Tapu Fini, and Shadow Swampert. Losses will come from Giratina, Cresselia, Walrein, Cobalion, and regular Swampert.
Keep in mind that all of these matches are based on whether you have a level 50 Wailmer or Wailord. 400 if you want to upgrade your Wailmer) and 296 Wailmer Cady XL. It’s a combo 1000 Candy and half a million Stardust for a Pokemon that is ok at best. Is it worth the investment? That’s up to you (but no, it’s definitely not worth the investment, please save your Stardust for something better!!)
Master League Wailord is basically the same as Ultra League, as they are both level 50. Here though, the small defense (Wailord went for intense stamina, not defense stats) will leave the Float Whale somewhat deflated.
Is there a shiny Wailmer in Pokémon Go?
Yeah! Shiny Wailmer was released in April 2018 as part of the Earth Day event!
What does the shiny Wailmer look like?
As you can see below, the brilliant Wailmer is following in the footsteps of greatness, channeling both Kyogre and Swampert. Just replace blue with purple and call it a day!
Shiny Wailord knows when to copy Wailmer’s homework – why mess with perfection? Here we have a pair of cool looking purple sparkles that look pretty decent. Get yourself a Shiny Wailmer if you can, then have fun every time you see him trying out his Shiny Kyogre cosplay.
My first full-rated wild shiny Wailmer! (Others were trades except for an increased rating from Go Fest 2021)
