There are many Ground-type monsters in Pokémon Go, but Kraknut is definitely a team member worth having. Here’s how to find one for yourself and whether it can be Shiny.
Kraknut is a Pokémon first introduced in Generation 3 with Ruby & Sapphire and is notable because it evolves into Libégon, a Ground/Dragon type.
Trainers in Pokémon Go can also find this little Ground-type Pokémon in different ways so that they too can evolve it into Libégon.
So, let’s go over the different ways fans can find Kraknut in Pokémon Go and if the Den Pokémon can be Shiny.
How to get Kraknut in Pokémon Go
There are several ways for trainers to capture Kraknut in Pokémon Go:
- As a wild encounter
- Like a Dark Pokémon at Sierra from Team Go Rocket (World of Wonders: Assault)
- By trading with another Pokémon Go player, Trainers interested in capturing Kraknut can do so throughout the “Wonderful World: Offensive” event, although it will take a bit of work. Defeating the leader of Team Go Rocket Sierra will give you the chance to capture Dark Kraknut, which players can purify or leave as is.
Luckily, you’ll have a good amount of time before Chief Rocket’s teams rotate again, so try to capture Kraknut while he’s available.
How to evolve Kraknut into Vibraninf and Libégon in Pokémon Go
Kraknut has two evolutions but does not require any special items or requirements to evolve.
To evolve Kraknut into Vibraninf, you must give it 25 Kraknut Candies. To evolve Vibraninf into its final form, Libégon, you will need 100 more Kraknut Candies.
Can Kraknut be Shiny in Pokémon Go?
Yes, Kraknut can be Shiny in Pokémon Go. The Shiny Kraknut debuted in Pokémon Go in 2019, so players have been able to capture these special green Kraknuts for a while now.
