How to get Grotle in Pokemon Go and can it be Shiny?
Everyone loves starter Pokemon and although it’s one of the less appreciated starter evolutions, Grotle still has an extremely loyal fanbase. Here is how to get Grotle and if it can be Shiny in Pokemon Go.
Grotle alongside both Turtwig and Torterra was introduced into Pokemon Go in October 2018 as part of Sinnoh’s main release.
The Grove Pokemon has since reappeared several times in various Sinnoh-related events, including February 2024’s Road to Sinnoh. These events offer the perfect opportunity to get your favorite Sinnoh Pokemon.
However, you don’t necessarily have to wait for a special event to catch this widely adored Grass-type Pokemon. Here is everything you need to know about how to get Grotle and if Grotle can be shiny in Pokemon Go.

These are all the ways that Grotle can be obtained in Pokemon Go:
- Evolve Turtwig using 25 Turtwig Candy
- Encountered in the wild
- Encountered as a Tier 3 Raid Battle when active
Grotle spawns more frequently in the wild when it is weather-boosted during Sunny/Clear weather. This is also true of its pre-evolution – Turtwig – so it’s best to take advantage of this when possible.
Can Grotle be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
As with every other starter Pokemon in Pokemon Go, Grotle can be Shiny and spawns in its Shiny form in the wild. However, most players will have an easier time finding a shiny Turtwig and evolving it as the pre-evolution spawns more frequently.
