Phantump and Trevenant have finally debuted in Pokémon Go as a part of the Ghoulish Pals slice of the Halloween Mischief event.
Finding, catching, and evolving them is straightforward, and with a dash of luck, you could stumble upon a Shiny version, but the odds are quite slim.
How to catch Phantump and Trevenant in Pokémon Go
There are three ways to find and catch Phantump in Pokémon Go during the Halloween Mischief event:
- First, you can encounter it in the wild
- Second, you can catch it after defeating it in a one-star raid battle
- Third, you can hatch it from a 7km Egg
However, when it comes to Trevenant, the only way to get one is by evolving it from Phantump. It cannot be found and caught in the wild or after a raid, and it cannot be hatched from an Egg.
How to evolve Phantump into Trevenant in Pokémon Go
Evolving Phantump into Trevenant in Pokémon Go can be done in two ways.
- First, you can trade Phantump with a friend in person. Once they receive it, it will evolve into Trevenant. If you both have a Phantump, trade at the same time and you both get a Trevenant.
- Second, you can collect 200 Phantump Candy and use it to evolve Phantump into Trevenant. Boost your Phantump Candy by using Pinap Berries when catching Phantump, then make it your Buddy Pokémon and take it for a stroll. It’s a bit of a grind though, so trading might be a more convenient route.
Can Phantump or Trevenant be Shiny in Pokémon Go?
Yes, both Phantump and Trevenant have Shiny versions in Pokémon Go. Like with all Shiny Pokémon, the odds of finding one are slim, roughly one in 500.
If you’ve found a Shiny Phantump, you can evolve it into Trevenant. Just remember, you’ll need 200 Phantump Candy for the evolution if you want to keep it since trading it to a friend for evolution means you won’t get it back.
