Munna 100% perfect IV stats, shiny Munna in Pokémon Go
Everything you need to know about Munna's Spotlight Hour.
This week’s Spotlight Hour is all about the Dream Eater Pokémon - which we honestly did not expect to be Munna’s officially designated category, but then 'Floaty Sleepy Pig Thing' is probably too many words... Either way, this is the perfect time to try to catch a shiny Munna in Pokémon Go.
Unfortunately Munna is pretty useless in competitive play and raids in Pokémon Go, as is its evolved form, Musharna. However, there’s a solid chance that you’re still missing shiny, given how new it is, and if you still need the 4* perfect Munna, this is your chance to try to find one.
Even if you’re not keen on Munna, you should still try to catch as many Pokémon as possible during this week’s Spotlight Hour because of the double catch candy bonus that runs alongside the event.

Munna 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go
This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Munna 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 maxed out, 100% IV version, which is the 15/15/15 you’re looking for for your 4* Pokédex, raids and Master League. Yet, because of how CP is calcuated using three stats, a perfect IV Pokémon is generally only ever the best version of itself in the Master League.
Of course, you can’t see the IV of a Pokémon without catching it first, but with a little research beforehand, you can quickly spot a perfect Munna based on the CP alone.
If you’re at Level 30 (or above), you’ll ideally be looking for the following CPs for a perfect 15/15/15 Munna:
The wild CP value aligns with your Trainer Level until you reach Level 30 and, due to the majority of the player base now being above this level, we’ve kept to these values for the sake of simplicity. These values will, however, be different if you’re currently below Level 30.
Is Musharna good in PVP?
The good news is that no matter which league you’re looking at, both Munna and Musharna run the same attacks: Charge Beam, Psyshock, and Dazzling Gleam as a second charged move.
From a moves perspective, this combination isn’t great - there just isn’t enough fast move or shield pressure to go toe-to-weird-foot-spike-thing with either of these two Pokémon, and right now it loses to most meta-relevant Pokémon in both Great League and Ultra League. Similarly, both are worse than useless in Master League
That said, both have the benefit of being fairly bulky, with decent stats in the stamina department. As with all Pokémon in PVP, these two are just a couple of move updates away from being relevant. So, if you’re keen on this adorable, pillowy dream eater, you’re looking for the classic IV breakdown of 0/12/15 for Great League and an 0/15/15 for Ultra League.
The Max Out Season is here. The new global event, Wild Area, is nearly here and In the Wild is our lead-up event, which includes the global release of Toxel. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
Is there a shiny Munna in Pokémon Go?
Shiny Munna in Pokémon Go was released as part of the Go Fest 2022 Finale!
If luck is on your side, you may find a shiny Munna in the wild, but be aware that this is not a Community Day and shiny rates are not boosted, so the chances of catching one, let alone a perfect one, are very low. That said, each Munna you see has the potential to be shiny, so it’s purely a numbers game — tap each and every one of them and see what you get. Good luck finding the Munna you need!
If you want to evolve your Munna into a Mushana, you’ll need 50 Munna candies and an Unova Stone.
What does shiny Munna look like?
As you can see below, shiny Munna looks pretty awesome, taking on a lovely golden hue with green flowers to boot.
That said, its evolved form, Musharna looks pretty naff – like Game Freak upped the saturation in the reds and nothing else. The pink is slightly deeper, and the blue is a little more purple.
Other tips for this Spotlight Hour
Aside from trying to catch a shiny Munna in Pokémon Go, there are a couple of other good reasons to partake in this week’s Spotlight Hour:
- The best reason is, of course, the double catch candy bonus running throughout the hour. This gives you the chance to gather Candy twice as fast as usual, with each Munna caught giving up to 13 Candy if you use a Pinap or Silver Berry with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon of the same type, instead of the base three.
- This bonus also extends to your research rewards. Remember, you don’t need to catch these Pokémon when you complete the task; if you run away from a reward Pokémon, it is added to a 'bank' of up to 200 Pokémon you can save for times like this, or when you want to maximise a Star Piece or Lucky Egg bonus.
- If you’re a newcomer, this Spotlight Hour is the perfect time to collect enough Munna Candy to fully evolve this Pokémon and add its evolution to your Pokédex.
- Thanks to Munna being a Psychic-type, catching a bunch during this Spotlight Hour will add progress to your respective catch bonus medal.
Spotlight Hour events only last for an hour – 6pm to 7pm (local time). There’s no Spotlight Hour event next week (that slot is going to Cresselia Raid Hour), but check back the week after for a primer on Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew. The special bonus is going to be double transfer candy, along with increased chances of transfer Rare Candy XL – you really want to start prepping what you want to get rid of now!
Good luck finding a perfect Munna!
