The Dragon-type Pokemon, Druddigon, was first introduced into Pokemon Go during the game‘s Dragonspiral Descent event in December 2021. The event celebrated the Unova region, with Black & White Legendaries Reshiram and Zekrom appearing in 5-Star Raid Battles, and Druddigon also making its debut.

Druddigon has remained in the game ever since, although the method of catching the fiery Pokemon has changed.

How to catch Druddigon in Pokemon Go

As of February 2024, the only way to catch a Druddigon is to defeat it in a 3-Star Raid Battle. According to Leek Duck, Pokemon Go will feature Druddigon as a Tier 3 Raid from February 5, 2024, to February 11, 2024, as part of the Lunar New Year event.

The best counters for Druddigon are strong Dragon, Fairy, and Ice-types. Some great options are Dialga, Garchomp, Dragonite, Mamoswine, Weavile, Glaceon, and Gardevoir.

Can Druddigon be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

The good news is that Shiny Druddigon is still currently available. The Shiny version has been available since Druddigon was introduced to the game, which was a very unusual (but welcome!) occurrence at the time as Niantic rarely debuts a new Pokemon alongside its Shiny variation.

As always, the chances of finding a Shiny version will be incredibly low, so you’ll simply have to encounter as many Druddigon as you can in 3-Star Raid Battles and hope for the best.

Does Druddigon have an evolution?

Druddigon is the only member of its Pokemon family, meaning it cannot evolve in any game in the franchise. This is pretty common for Dragon-types, so that’s not too surprising.

This means you only need to catch one if you simply want to keep your Pokedex up to date.
