The beloved Dragapult will be making its way to Pokemon Go in the upcoming Max Out season, along with the Galar Starters. Here’s all the information you need to know about catching this pseudo-Legendary, including its potential for being Shiny.
In the Galar region of Sword & Shield, Dragapult was introduced and quickly rose to become one of the top-performing Pokemon from Generation 8. Its impressive design, unique type combination, vast array of powerful moves, and exceptional stats solidified its position as one of the most formidable Dragon-type creatures in the entire franchise.
The highly recognizable creature, Dragapult, is finally making its first appearance in Pokemon Go during the Go All Out event. Here is a guide on how to obtain this powerful Pokemon in Niantic’s game.
Getting Dragapult in Pokemon Go: A Step-by-Step Guide
At present, the sole method for obtaining Dragapult in the game is through the process of evolution. Therefore, you will need to capture a Dreepy first and evolve it until it reaches its ultimate form.
Once the September 3, 2024 Go All Out event begins, players will have two options for locating Dreepy in the game:
- During a wild encounter.
- Upon hatching from a 10 km egg.
The Dragapult, which can be obtained during the Go All Out event, will continue to spawn more frequently until September 10, 2024, at 10:00 AM local time, giving you ample opportunity to catch one.
Can Dragapult be Shiny?
Unfortunately, at this time, Dragapult cannot be found in its Shiny form in Pokemon Go. Similar to other Pokemon that have been newly introduced, their Shiny versions are not immediately available and players will have to wait for a special event to catch a Shiny Dragapult.
After this occurs, we will make sure to revise this guide.
How to evolve Dreepy into Drakloak & Dragapult in Pokemon Go
Fortunately for players, the evolution process of Dragapult, which is a member of a three-member family, is straightforward and does not require any special items or methods.
To evolve Dreepy into Drakloak, players must first give it 25 Dreepy Candy. Then, to further evolve Drakloak into Dragapult, players must feed it an additional 100 Dreepy Candy to initiate the transformation.
If you are having trouble collecting enough Candy, you can opt to use Pinap Berries to boost the amount of Candy you receive per catch. Additionally, you can trade your duplicate Pokémon with Professor Willow in return for more valuable candies.
