How to get Jangmo-o in Pokemon Go and can it be Shiny?
NIANTICJangmo-o is a pseudo-legendary Pokemon in the game, and as such it’s really hard to get. Whether you need one for your Pokedex, or you’re trying to evolve it into Kommo-o, here are all the different ways you can get Jangmo-o in Pokemon Go.
The Dragon-type Jangmo-o first appeared in Pokemon Go back in March 2022 with the Welcome to Alola event. However, its slim chances of spawning made it almost impossible for players to catch it.
Since then, Jangmo-o has been featured in some events like Lunar New Year 2024, but outside of these, its rarity makes getting a hold of one – or any its evolved forms Hakamo-o and Kommo-o – quite difficult.
If you’re looking to add this tiny Pokemon to your team, here’s everything you need to know to catch it, evolve it, and whether you can get its Shiny version or not.

How to get Jangmo-o in Pokemon Go
GAME FREAK/THE POKEMON COMPANYThere are currently three ways to get a Jangmo-o in the game:
- As a wild encounter (only while using the Daily Adventure Incense)
- Defeat and catch in 1-Star Raids
- In 10 km Eggs
Jangmo-o will be available in 1-Star Raids as part of Rivals Week, which takes place from Saturday May 4 through Thursday May 9.
Previously, players were able to get one as a reward for completing the first part of the Noxious Swamp Timed Research, which took place back in August 2023.
How to evolve Jangmo-o into Hakamo-o & Kommo-o in Pokemon Go
Jangmo-o evolves into Hakamo-o with the help of 25 Candy. Subsequently, you can use 100 extra Candy to evolve Hakamo-o into Kommo-o.
There are no special items or Buddy tasks required for this evolution, which makes the process relatively easy. However, the Pokemon’s rarity and the amount of Candy necessary means you’ll want to take advantage of Jangmo-o Raids when available.

No, Shiny Jangmo-o is not available to encounter in Pokemon Go.
Jangmo-o’s Shiny form will likely be released down the line as part of a future event. We will update this guide once its arrival is confirmed.
