Thankfully, there are a number of ways to catch Axew during Go Fest 2022 Finale, so it’s the perfect opportunity to add Axew, and its evolutions, to your Pokédex in Pokémon Go. Below you’ll discover how to get Axew during Go Fest 2022 Finale, along with Axew’s counters and weaknesses in Pokémon Go. On this page: Axew will be appearing more frequently during the Ultra Incursion: Buzzwole hours, which runs between 12pm to 2pm (local time). Axew will also be appearing in one-star raids from 10am to 6pm (local time). We highly recommend using Pinap Berries to catch Axew to double the amount of candy you’ll receive, because, due to it being such a rarity outside of Go Fest 2022 Finale event, there’s a good chance you don’t have much Axew candy. Doing this will help you gather enough candy to complete its evolution - 125 in total - and power Axew up if you wish. You may also want to use Silver Pinap Berries if you have any going spare.

An Axew with perfect 100% IV stats can be evolved into a powerful Haxorus. While creating this Haxorus does involve quite the candy investment - both in the terms of evolving Axew and powering it up - once you’ve completed this task, it will be an excellent choice for the Master League, raids and battling in Gyms. The CP values that correspond to perfect 15/15/15 values are as follows:
Level 30 (wild CP maximum) - 1173 CP Level 35 (weather boosted CP maximum) - 1271 CP
The wild CP value aligns with your trainer level until you reach Level 30 and, due to the majority of the player base now being above this level, we’ve kept to these values for the sake of simplicity. These values will, however, differ if you’re currently below Level 30.
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.
