The Hisuian Pokemon recently made its way into Pokemon Go, so here’s an overview of how to get the dual Normal/Psychic-type Wyrdeer in the game, as well as whether or not it can be shiny.

In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, players were introduced to several alternate forms of Pokemon and new evolutions. One of those new forms added to the Pokemon universe was Wyrdeer, the evolution of Stantler.

Niantic has begun to add Hisuian versions of Pokemon to the mobile game, and Wyrdeer recently joined the available pool. But how can you get one?

Here’s a look at what we know about Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go.

How to get Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go trainers got a first glimpse of Wyrdeer during the Wyrdeer Raid Day that took place on December 23, 2023, as part of the Winter Wonderland Event.

For those unfamiliar with the format of a Raid Day, trainers have the increased opportunity to run into the featured Pokemon during those specific times. In Wyrdeers’ case, players had a chance to catch it in 3-Star Raid battles.

Currently, there’s no way to catch the hisuian Pokemon in the game, but we will keep this guide updated once Niantic brings back Stantler’s evolution.

Can you catch a Shiny Wyrdeer in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Shiny Wyrdeer is available in Pokemon Go. Its debut brought the special variant, though it only had a 1.67% chance of appearing.

However, because the Raid Day event is over, players will have to wait until it’s back in the game. For now, trainers can encounter the Shiny version of Stantler in Pokemon Go while they wait for Niantic to enable its evolution.

That’s everything you need to know about catching Wyrdeer. While you’re here, check out some more Pokemon Go guides below:
