How to get Passimian in Pokemon Go & can it be Shiny?

Looking to add Passimian to your Pokedex in Pokemon Go? Well, here’s how to catch it and whether it can be Shiny.

Despite its counterpart, Oranguru, making its arrival in Pokemon Go back in April 2022, the Fighting-type Passimian only became available to catch in the mobile game as part of the 2023 World Championships event.

Known as the teamwork Pokemon in the Pokedex, Passimian originally appeared in Pokemon Sun & Moon on the Nintendo 3DS. Just like in those games, it’s a fairly difficult creature to encounter in Pokemon Go.

To help you catch one of your own, here’s everything you need to know about Passimian.

How to catch Passimian in Pokemon GO

Currently, the only way to catch Passimian is by finding one in the wild. Previously it was only available through a 3-Star Raid or through a field research task, but since they have now expired, players will need to explore in order to find this Pokemon.

Hopefully, Passimian will return in a future event as a more common encounter, otherwise, we could see a lot of people struggling to catch this Pokemon.

Is Shiny Passimian available in Pokemon Go?

The bad news is that Shiny Passimian is currently unavailable in Pokemon Go.

It’s very rare for a new Pokemon to debut alongside its Shiny variant, so you’ll have to make do with regular Passimian and wait for its Shiny to arrive in a future event.

Does Passimian have an evolution in Pokemon Go?

Passimian is the only member of its Pokemon family, which means it does not have an evolution in Pokemon Go – or any other game, for that matter.

While this does make it a slightly less interesting Pokemon to catch, it also means you don’t need to spend time stocking up on loads of its Candy. You can just catch one and move on to something else.
