Shiny Cutiefly in Pokemon Go

Cutiefly made its Pokemon Go debut in 2023. Here’s how to catch it, whether it can be Shiny, and how to evolve it into Ribombee.

The adorable Bug/Fairy-type Cutiefly first appeared in the Alola region in Pokemon Sun & Moon on the Nintendo 3DS. Known in the Pokedex as the Bee Fly Pokemon, it eventually evolves into Ribombee.

However, how can Go trainers find Cutiefly, and how can it evolve?

Here are answers to both of those questions, plus whether a Shiny version of it can be found in the wild.

How to catch Cutiefly in Pokemon Go

The easiest way to catch Cutiefly is to go out exploring and find one as a wild encounter. You can use Incense to boost the amount of Pokemon that spawn at your location or check the Nearby feature to see if a Cutiefly has appeared at a nearby landmark.

You’ll also be able to Cutiefly from Eggs. However, that is largely dependent on whether it is in the Egg pool.

Be sure to keep an eye out for special events that feature an increased spawn rate for Cutiefly, as well as ones where it will be added to the Egg pool.

How to evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee in Pokemon Go

You can evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee once you’ve collected 50 Candy so it’s not too expensive.

If you’re struggling to get enough Candy, remember to use Pinap Berries when catching Ribombee and also transfer any Cutiefly you don’t need, as you’ll get a boost in Candy for doing both of those things.

You can also set Cutiefly as your Buddy and go for a walk together, as it will find Candy as you explore.

Can Cutiefly be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Cutiefly can be Shiny in Pokemon Go.

The Shiny version of Cutiefly was made available in Pokemon Go during the Dazzling Dream event in January 2024. Additionally, Cutiefly appeared more frequently in the wild during the event.
