Unveiled: Acquiring Shroodle in Pokémon GO

The new year in Pokémon GO is bringing trainers a host of new Pokémon to catch! Following Fidough's arrival, Shroodle is making its debut – but unlike many recent additions, acquiring it isn't as simple as a wild encounter.

Shroodle's Pokémon GO Arrival

The Toxic Mouse Pokémon, Shroodle, enters Pokémon GO on January 15, 2025, as part of the Fashion Week: Taken Over event. Originally introduced in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, it's a relatively new addition to the Pokémon world. Post-event, Shroodle will remain available.

Shiny Shroodle?

Unlike some recent releases, Shroodle will not be available in its Shiny form at launch. Expect its Shiny variant to appear in a future event, possibly one focused on Poison-type Pokémon or Team GO Rocket.

Catching Shroodle

The trend of new Pokémon not being readily available as wild spawns continues with Shroodle. Instead of appearing on your Nearby radar, you'll need to hatch it from 12KM Eggs. Currently, this is the sole method to obtain Shroodle.

12KM Eggs collected from 12 AM local time on January 15th onward have a chance to yield Shroodle. Its hatch rate is likely higher during the Fashion Week: Taken Over event, but it should remain part of the 12KM Egg pool afterward.

Obtaining 12KM Eggs

Since Shroodle is exclusive to 12KM Eggs, a reminder on how to acquire these is helpful. They're relatively rare, obtainable only one way:

Defeat Team GO Rocket Leaders (Sierra, Arlo, Cliff) or Giovanni. The Taken Over event is ideal for stocking up on 12KM Eggs, as Team GO Rocket will be more prevalent, and Rocket Radars easier to obtain. However, you can battle GO Rocket Grunts at any time to challenge the Leaders and receive a 12KM Egg (provided you have inventory space).

Shroodle's evolution, Grafaiai, also arrives on January 15th. It won't hatch from Eggs or appear in the wild; evolution is the only path.

Evolution requires 50 Shroodle Candy. Hatching multiple Shroodle or making one your buddy are your best options to gather the necessary Candy.

Pokémon GO is currently available.
