How to catch Kleavor in Pokemon Go

Kleavor can only be encountered and caught after defeating it in a 3-Star Raid. It cannot be encountered in the wild. The next time Kleavor will be available is during Pokemon Go’s upcoming Bug Out 2024 event, where it will appear in 3-Star Raids.

Pokemon Go’s Bug Out 2024 event runs from April 12, 2024, to April 17, 2024, and Kleavor will appear in Raids during this time.

Once the Bug Out event ends, it’s unclear when Kleavor will appear again.

Can you evolve Scyther into Kleavor?

As of this writing, you cannot evolve a Scyther into Kleavor in Pokemon Go. That may change sometime in the future, but for now, Scyther caught in Pokemon Go can only evolve into Scizor.

Can you catch a Shiny Kleavor in Pokemon Go?

Yes, it’s possible to catch a Shiny Kleavor in Pokemon Go. However, the odds of finding one are pretty low since you currently can’t find it in the wild.

Luckily, Kleavor’s Shiny encounter rate will be boosted during the Bug Out 2024 event, so that will be your best chance of catching one.
