Released as part of the Pokémon TCG Crossover event, which celebrates the release of the Pokémon Go card expansion packs, Wimpod and Golisopod are both bug and water-type Pokémon. Below you’ll learn how to get Wimpod and evolve it into Golisopod in Pokémon Go. On this page: Throughout this event, you can obtain Wimpod through a variety of means:
In the wild - Appearing more frequently during the Pokémon TCG Crossover event Pokémon TCG Crossover field research task - Spin 5 PokéStops or Gyms One-star raids - During the Pokémon TCG Crossover event
As you can see from the methods listed above, the easiest way to catch a Wimpod is to either find it in the wild or defeat it in a one-star raid, because you’ll be able to easily defeat it by yourself. You’ll find advice on Wimpod’s weaknesses and counters for raids later on in this guide. If you want to catch Wimpod via its Pokémon TCG Crossover field research task, it’s important to remember that the tasks given by PokéStops change on a day-to-day basis. Due to this you may find this specific task rather hard to find, because you can receive field research tasks from the monthly pool alongside the event-exclusive tasks. If you do wish to use this method, we recommend finding a Pokemon Go group for your local area as someone might have already found the PokéStop you’re looking for. At the time of writing, we don’t know what Wimpod’s spawn rate will be once the Pokémon TCG Crossover event has ended. There’s a chance, however, that - similar to other recently released Pokémon - it will be hard to find. Yes, here it is - the second Gen 7 Pokémon which requires a massive candy pile for its evolution. The first was Stufful and its evolution, Bewear, which was released for April 2022’s Community Day. Whether or not a third Gen 7 Pokémon will receive this treatment is yet to be seen, so, for now, it’s time to focus on catching a lot of Wimpods. An awful lot of Wimpods. Thankfully, due to the long duration of the Pokémon TCG Crossover event, you’ve got a good amount of time to catch these Wimpods. Still, we recommend using Pinap Berries when catching Wimpod to double the amount of catch candy you receive. You can also have a Wimpod as your buddy Pokémon to gather some extra candy as you go exploring. The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season. Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
