THE POKEMON COMPANYHow to get Turtonator in Pokemon Go
Even though Turtonator has been a part of Pokemon Go for almost a year, this creature can be hard to find as it doesn’t spawn in the wild.
Currently, there are only two ways trainers can find Turtonator in Niantic’s game:
- As a hatch from 10 km Eggs
- As a Tier 3 Raid boss
Thanks to the upcoming Ultra Space Wonders event, Turtonator will return to 3-Star Raid battles from May 23, 2024, until May 28, 2024, so players will have plenty of chances to challenge, defeat, and capture it.
Previously, players were able to get Turtonator as a reward for completing Field Research Tasks like “Win 3 raids: Dark Flames” or Special/Timed Research Tasks such as “Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed – 2nd part: Power up 15 Dragon-type Pokemon”.
Can Turtonator be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Yes, Turtonator can be Shiny in Pokemon Go as this special variation was added to the game on the same day the Pokemon debuted.
The difference between a regular Turtonator and a Shiny Turtonator is that the red body parts become brown, giving it an underwhelming look.
NIANTICRemember that the chances of encountering a Shiny Pokemon are very low, so it’s really just a case of challenging as many Turtonator as you can and hoping for the best.
