Growlithe 100% perfect IV stats, shiny Growlithe in Pokémon Go

Publish date: 2023-03-11

There is a shiny Growlithe in Pokémon Go, but that's not the only reason why you should partake in this week's Spotlight Hour.

Below we cover why you should catch as many Growlithe as possible during this hour-long window, including the chance to find a 100% perfect IV stats Growlithe and a preview of shiny Growlithe.

Aside from Growlithe's Spotlight Hour, there's a lot going on in the world of Pokémon Go; today sees the start of the Festival of Color event and Oricorio has been added to the game.

Don't forget to complete the A Melemele Adventure quest either - it's the first of four Alola region themed quests and, if you complete them before the Season of Alola ends, you'll gain free access to an end-of-season special research quest!

On this pahe:

Battling and catching the latest Pokémon Go mythical encounter, Shaymin, as part of the Go Fest 2022 research.

Growlithe 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go

This week's Spotlight Hour is the perfect opportunity to catch a Growlithe with perfect IV stats.

Arcanine - Growlithe's evolution - is still an excellent fire-type choice, especially for newcomers, despite being one of the first Pokémon released. If you manage to find a Growlithe with perfect IV stats, you'll be able to create a powerful Arcanine who can burn through your opponents, especially any grass-type.

The CP values that correspond to perfect 15/15/15 values are as follows:

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 Level 30, we've kept to these values for simplicity's sake. These values will, however, be different if you're currently below Level 30.

The Season of Go has arrived! The Pokémon TCG Crossover event is here, which includes the release of Wimpod and Golisopod. While Go Fest 2022 may be behind us, there are still three special research quests you might be working on - Pokémon Go Fest 2022, Rhi's Arrival and A Radiant World. Meanwhile, the Great League and Great League and Great League Remix are currently running in the Go Battle League Season 11. This season has also seen the lowering of the level requirement for Candy XL and introduced the first Ultra Beast, Nihilego.

Is there a shiny Growlithe in Pokémon Go?

There is a shiny version of Growlithe in Pokémon Go.

This form debuted in September 2018 when the field research tasks for that month changed. By using 50 Growlithe, you can evolve a shiny Growlithe into a shiny Arcanine - adding another entry to your shiny Pokédex.

Remember - the Spotlight Hour only increases the number of Growlithe spawning in the wild, not this Pokémon's shiny rate. This means that, unlike a Community Day, the shiny rates for Growlithe won't change during a Spotlight Hour.

What does shiny Growlithe look like?

As you can see in the pictures below, shiny Growlithe has a yellow colouring, which is quite similar to traditional Growlithe's orange fur. Shiny Shadow Growlithe also looks quite monstrous!

Other reasons to catch as many Growlithe as possible

Aside from the chance to catch a shiny Growlithe, there are a number of other reasons to partake in this week's Spotlight Hour:

Spotlight Hour only lasts for an hour - 6pm to 7pm (local time) - but don't worry if you can't partake in this week's event. Next week sees Sudowoodo take the spotlight, with that always popular double catch XP bonus!
