Popular Ultra Beast Poipole is up for grabs in Pokemon Go, so here’s all you need to know to catch it, including details on its evolution and shiny availability.

The World of Wonders season is in its last leg in Pokemon Go, but players can get Poipole, one of the most popular Ultra Beasts and part of Ash Ketchum’s Pokemon team in the Alola region.

Here’s how to get Poipole in Pokemon Go and if its shiny is available in the mobile game.

Here are the tasks you’ll need to complete to encounter Poipole:

World of Wonders Special Research stage 1/5

  • Spin 10 PokeStops – 10x Pinap Berry
  • Transfer 10 Pokemon – 7x Razz Berry

Wonder Ticket Part 3 stage 1/3

  • Take snapshots of 10 different wild Pokemon – 1x Star Piece
  • Evolve 3 Pokemon – 15x Poipole Candy

So, you’ll be rewarded with two Poipole encounters for completing these stages from the World of Wonders Special Research and Wonder Ticket Timed Research, but keep in mind that the latter is a paid Research quest.

Can Poipole be shiny in Pokemon Go?

No, shiny Poipole is not available in Pokemon Go yet.

The shiny versions of most Ultra Beasts in Pokemon Go are finally debuting in Pokemon Go Fest 2024, years after their original debuts. So, we expect players will have to wait a bit to get the shiny Ultra Beast in the game.

And that is everything you need to know to catch Poipole in the mobile game. For more Pokemon Go content and guides, be sure to check out the following:
