How to Get Whismur in Platinum
The base of the Whismur line never appears wild here. Breed one from a Loudred or Exploud pulled out of Mt Coronet, and the egg becomes the only road to a low-level Whismur.
Wild Whismur may be holding when caught:
Chesto Berry (5% chance) Held: Consumed when asleep to cure sleep.Catch Loudred at any of these 1 spot to eventually evolve into Whismur.

How to Get Shiny Whismur in Platinum
Whismur stays out of the wild, so hatch one by breeding a Loudred with a foreign Ditto; Loudred echoes through Mt. Coronet. Compare Shiny Whismur odds across every game

Masuda Method: Breed with a parent from a different-language game. Works on any breedable line.

Time assumes -- at your pace and does not change your shiny odds.
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.
For time estimates and charm math, open the Platinum shiny odds calculator with Whismur already selected.
Whismur Weakness
Fighting moves hit Whismur for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Whismur's Normal typing only leaves 1 gap to cover.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
