Wiglett and Wugtrio have finally made their way from Paldea into Pokemon Go, so here’s exactly how you can get the eel-based evolution in your party.

Pokemon Go players are now encountering Wiglett and its evolution Wugtrio in the wild, all thanks to the latest Pokemon Go event known as Rediscover Kanto. Wiglett and Wugtrio make their debut in Go as part of this event, hot on the heels of several other Paldean Pokemon popping up like Annihilape.

If you’re hoping to catch several Wiglett to bag yourself a Wugtrio, Wiglett can be found in Beach biomes, which are another recent addition to the game as part of the Pokemon Go Rediscover Go event.

Can Wugtrio be encountered in the wild?

Currently, there is no confirmation that Wugtrio can be encountered in the wild.

But because it’s pre-evolution Wiglett can spawn for players, there is no reason to think Wugtrio would not be available. We’ll update this guide as more details become available.

At the time of writing neither Wugtrio nor Wiglett can be encountered in their Shiny forms in Pokemon Go. Players will have to wait for a future event to unlock their Shiny variants.

When it becomes available, Shiny Wugtrio is easy to spot, swapping the normal version’s red body and white nose, for a bright blue body and a yellow nose.
