Eldegoss in Pokémon GO
Making its debut during the Spring into Spring event on April 9, 2025, Eldegoss is an evolved Pokémon hailing from the Galar region, introduced in the Pokémon Sword and Shield games. As a Grass-type Pokémon, Eldegoss is generally regarded as a filler entry in the Pokédex, lacking standout statistics and a diverse move pool. At this moment, a shiny variant of Eldegoss has yet to be introduced in Pokémon GO.
Regardless of its average standing, many trainers will likely seek to add this Pokémon to their collection.
Obtaining Eldegoss in Pokémon GO
Players can acquire Eldegoss through the following methods:
- Evolving Gossifleur
- Trading with friends
Evolution from Gossifleur
As of April 2025, evolving Gossifleur is the exclusive method to obtain Eldegoss in Pokémon GO. To evolve, players must collect 50 Candy. Thankfully, trainers can encounter Gossifleur in various locations, enabling them to not only capture the base form but also gather necessary Candy for evolution.
Gathering 50 Candy is quite achievable; capturing each Gossifleur rewards three Candy, which can be augmented to six by utilizing a Pinap or Silver Pinap Berry. Additionally, additional Candy can be earned through the Mega Evolution of Grass-type Pokémon. Players can also transfer redundant Gossifleur for some Candy. In urgent situations, Rare Candy can be deployed to facilitate the evolution into Eldegoss.
Trading for Eldegoss
If tracking down a Gossifleur proves challenging or resources are limited, reaching out to an in-game friend for a trade can be a beneficial alternative. Trading for Eldegoss counts as a Special Trade and entails a Stardust cost that varies based on your Friendship level with the trading partner.
