Granivol is a very well-known Pokémon from the Johto region, so if you haven’t caught one yet, or if you’re trying to evolve it to its final stage, here’s how you can catch it in Pokémon Go and if it may or may not be shiny.
Players got their first glimpse of Granivol when Generation 2 was introduced to the franchise with Pokémon Gold & Silver, and as expected, it debuted in Pokémon Go alongside Johto’s Pokédex in 2017.
Now, Granivol will be the star of the upcoming spotlight hour, so players will have the opportunity to catch as many as they want and gather enough Stardust to evolve him, and why not, find his shiny variant.
How to get Granivol in Pokémon Go
Since its introduction in the game, Granivol can be obtained via different methods. However, currently there are only three ways:
- A wild encounter.
- A Shadow Pokémon during encounters with Team GO Rocket’s Minions.
- An exchange with other Pokémon Go players.
For those trying to catch a Wild Granivol, it will have an increased spawn rate on March 26, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, as it will be featured during the Featured Hour.
Previously, players could hatch him from 2km and 5km Eggs, as well as fight him in Tier 1 Raids.
How to evolve Granivol into Floravol and Cotovol in Pokémon Go
The Granivol evolution line has three stages, but luckily for you, it has no special conditions, items, or buddy tasks.
To evolve Granivol into Floravol, you need to give it 25 Candies, and then to evolve Granivol into its final form, Cotovol, you will need an additional 100 Candies.
If you’re low on Candy, the Featured Hour event is the perfect time to catch lots of Granivol, as they will come with a double Candy bonus. Additionally, you can use Nanana Berries, or transfer your extra Granivol to Professor Willow.
Can Granivol be shiny in Pokémon Go?
Yes, Granivol can be shiny in Pokémon Go, and players will be able to find this particular, elusive version during Featured Hour on March 26, 2024.
The shiny variation of Granivol was introduced to the game during its Community Day in 2022, however, it is not an easy find, so be patient and hit as many wild encounters as you can during the event.
That’s everything you need to know about how to get Granivol, its evolution, and its shiny variation in Pokémon Go. For more content on the game, check out our guides below:
