There’s a shiny Chimchar in Pokémon Go, but that’s not the only reason you should participate in this week’s Spotlight.
On this page, we cover why you should spend some time catching the Gen 4 Chimchar during the one-hour period, including the chance to find a 100% perfect Chimchar IV, and a preview of the shiny Chimchar that’s up for grabs in Pokémon Go.
If you’re interested in the other events currently happening in Pokémon Go, the Ed Sheeran event will last until early next week. We recently saw the conclusion of the Misunderstood Mischief investigation, which allows you to track down leaders Arlo, Cliff and Sierra, as well as Giovanni, and completing it soon will allow you to play a special end-of-season event this weekend for free.

Chimchar’s 100% Perfect IV Explained in Pokémon Go
A good reason to participate in this week’s Spotlight is the chance to catch a perfect Chimchar in Pokémon Go.
With his highest possible IV stats, you can turn Chimchar into Monferno and Infernape and use him in raids, gyms, and even the Go Battle League if you wish.
The CP values, which correspond to perfect statistics from 15/15/15, are as follows:
- Level 30 (Max Wild CP) – 820
- Level 35 (maximum CP boosted by weather) – 889
Remember: the wild CP value aligns with your trainer level until you reach level 30. If you are currently below 30, then the maximum CP value will be different. Since the majority of the player base is now above level 30, we kept the previous values to keep things simple.
Is there a shiny Chimchar in Pokémon Go?
There is a shiny version of Chimchar in Pokémon Go.
As with other starters, Shiny Chimchar debuted during his own Community Day in November 2019.
If you participated in this event, you likely already have a handful of shiny Chimchar available.
Remember, unlike Community Day, shiny odds during the Spotlight Hour do not increase, making it difficult for you to find a shiny during the hour period. It’s through increasing spawn numbers, not odds, that you’ll be more likely to find a shiny during a given Spotlight Hour, so try to see as many Pokémon as possible to increase your chances!
What does the shiny Chimchar look like?
The difference between a normal Chimchar and a shiny one is quite simple: their fur changes from brown to red:
Normal vs Shiny Chimchar in Pokémon Go.
The Season of Adventure Abundance is here! You can also work on the Timed Investigation: Master Ball mission and compete in Go Battle League. Be sure to compete in Shadow Raids, complete routes, use Daily Adventure Incense for a chance to encounter Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, and Galarian Moltres. This incense can also give you encounters with other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
Other reasons to catch as many Chimchar as possible
Even if you already have a shiny Chimchar, there are still some good reasons to catch as many Pokémon as possible during this Featured Hour, including:
- If you haven’t had the chance to add Chimchar or its evolutions Monferno and Infernape to your Pokédex yet, then this Spotlight Hour is the perfect time to do so.
- The Spotlight Hour bonus is also an important consideration. In this case, there is double catch XP, and it serves as one of the fastest ways to get XP in Pokémon Go if you manage to catch using an Excellent throw, taking you from 1000 XP to 2000 double XP. Lay a lucky egg? That’s 4000 XP per capture. To put it in context, three excellent captures during Spotlight Hour with a Lucky Egg net you 2000 more XP than a legendary raid (10,000 XP) with much less time and effort involved.
Chimchar is the second of three Sinnoh starters to be highlighted on Community Day. Next week it’s Piplup’s turn…
- There are no other bonuses from ongoing events, but if you haven’t already, it’s worth using the time to help complete the remaining Misunderstood Mischief research objectives before the weekend’s season-ending event.
- Chimchar is a Fire-type Pokémon, so you can use this hour to make good progress on the Fire Catch Bonus Medal.
Spotlight Hour only lasts one hour, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm (local time), but don’t worry if you can’t participate this week. Next week Piplup will be the center of attention with a double candy catch bonus!
