How to catch Kleavor in Pokemon Go

You can get Kleavor in Pokemon Go by beating it in 3-Star Raids during the Bug Out event that runs from April 12, 2024, at 10 AM to April 17, 2024, at 8 PM (local time). After you beat the Raid boss, you’ll get an encounter with Kleavor to catch it with a limited amount of Premier Balls.

While you can evolve Scyther into Kleavor in Pokemon Legends Arceus and Scarlet & Violet, you can’t get Kleavor that way in Pokemon Go.

Kleavor weaknesses in Pokemon Go

Kleavor is a Bug/Rock-type Pokemon, which means it’s weak against Rock, Steel, and Water-type moves in Pokemon Go.

While the list of weaknesses is fairly short, Kleavor can only resist Normal and Poison-type attacks, so you should take advantage of its low Defense to defeat it.
