Woobat 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go
This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Woobat 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 Woobat based on CP alone.
If you’re at level 30 (or higher), you’ll ideally be looking for the following CP for a perfect 15/15/15 Woobat:
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.
Is Swoobat good at PVP?
Unfortunately no; his stats are horribly low, with a perfect 15/15/15 at level 40 being a measly 1716 CP. This means that there is only one league in which it is viable, running Confusion (fast move), Psychic Fangs (charged move), and Aerial Ace (charged move) – and even then it is not even what one would call good.
While it’s a spammy fast attack that can apply decent fast movement pressure, it can’t apply enough shield pressure to be considered a threat. Additionally, the lack of volume coupled with the long attacking attack animations means that it won’t stick around long enough to have any real impact on the match.
In Great League you can expect wins against the Venusaur, Toxapex, Medicham, Swampert and Pelliper, however, they are pretty close to being losses, so if the opponent has more shields than you, it may not not go your way. Your losses, meanwhile, are much worse: Trevevant, Galarian Stunfisk, Lanturn, Noctowl, and Altaria – along with much of the top of the meta – will easily get you beat.
Swoobat is technically eligible for Ultra League and Master League, but if you’re brave enough to try this, don’t expect to win. Swoobat just doesn’t have the stats to be competitive.
Season of Mythic Wishes currently has the Valentine’s Day event and Mega Gardevoir and Tapu Lele to battle, and saw Kecleon finally released in Pokémon Go! We also have a new Team Go Rocket Quest – Shadowy Skirmishes! The composition of Giovanni’s teams and the leaders of Team Go Rocket have also changed. Don’t forget to participate in the new season of Go Battle League. Elsewhere, be sure to 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 there a shiny Woobat in Pokémon Go?
Yes! Released in July 2020 as part of the Go Fest event of the year, there is a shiny Woobat in Pokémon Go.
However, given its rarity in the wild, chances are you won’t have one.
Unlike Community Days, Spotlight Hours not have an increased shine rate, so while you’re looking for a shiny Woobat, you’ll be doing it with the regular shine rates in this game. This means that if you really want a shiny Woobat, you need to make the most of this hour!
What does the shiny Woobat look like?
As you can see below, Woobat and Swoobat are ditching their grays and blues for a more sickly green color, losing the cuteness they had in the process! Woobat’s wings turn a dark blue color, while Swoobat’s wings turn a leathery brown. Swoobat’s head and tail, meanwhile, take on a golden hue.

Other tips for this Spotlight hour
Besides trying to catch a Shiny Woobat in Pokémon Go, there are a few other great reasons to participate in this week’s Spotlight Hour:
- The best reason is, of course, the double capture Stardust bonus run all the time. This gives you the chance to collect Stardust twice as fast as usual, with each Woobat caught giving 200 Stardust instead of the base 100. If the weather in the game is windy, this adds an additional 50 Stardust (twice the usual 25) , and this stacks with a Star Piece to give a 1.5x multiplier to all Stardust earned. This means that each Weather Boosted Woobat caught while using a Star Piece will be worth 375 Stardust!
- If you’re a newcomer, this Spotlight Hour is a great time to collect enough Woobat Candy to fully evolve this Pokemon and enter its evolution, Swoobat, into the Pokédex.
- Thanks to Woobat being a psychic and flying type, catching a group during this Spotlight hour will add progress to your respective catch bonus medals.
Spotlight Hour events are only one hour long – 6-7pm (local time). Next week we’ll see Jigglypuff in the spotlight with a double XP grab.
Good luck finding a perfectly shiny Woobat!
