Pokemon GO is about to enter a new era. A new event titled "A Paldean Adventure" will introduce Pokemon from the Paldea region to Niantic's mobile game. The event will kick-start on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at 10 AM local time and will continue till Sunday, September 10, 2023, at 10 AM local time.

A number of creatures from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, including Lechonk and the regional starters will be made available in Pokemon GO for the very first time during this event. Among them, the grass-type Paldean Starter, Sprigatito, will be one of the major highlights.

There will be a couple of ways to get your hands on Sprigatito and its evolved forms during the event. This article will tell you everything about it.

It is possible to get Sprigatito encounters in three ways. They are as follows:

  • Wild Encounters
  • Eggs
  • Field Research Encounters

Wild Encounters

Sprigatito will be available in the wild starting from September 5, 2023. It will have boosted spawn rates during the 'A Paldean Adventure' event.

Sprigatito will appear in the wild along with the other Paldean Starters, Fuecoco and Quaxly. You can also encounter the other critters found in Poco Path of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, such as Hoppip, Fletchling, and Lechonk, as frequent wild encounters.

To boost your chance of finding a Sprigatito in the wild, you can use an Incense. Walking around will also increase your chances of getting encounters with Sprigatito rather than staying stationary and waiting for one to turn up.


Eggs

Sprigatito will be available in 7km Eggs during this event. You can only get 7km Eggs by opening gifts from friends. Therefore, make sure to send and receive lots of gifts from in-game friends during the event to maximize your chances of landing a Sprigatito.


Field Research Encounters

You can also find and capture Sprigatito through Field Research. Sprigatito encountered through this will have a minimum of 10/10/10 IVs. Therefore, you have a higher chance of landing a perfect IV Sprigatito through this process.

The only way to get Floragato in Niantic's mobile game currently is to evolve Sprigatito. Like the other Starters and most other two-stage evolutions, it will take 25 Candy to evolve Sprigatito into Floragato.


How to get Meowscarada in Pokemon GO?

Like Floragato, you can only get Meoscarada in the AR-based mobile game through evolution. You need 100 Spiragato to evolve Floragato into Meowscarada.


Can Sprigatito, Floragato, and Meowscarada be shiny in Pokemon GO?

The Shiny versions of Sprigatito, Floragato, and Meowscarada will not be available in Pokemon upon release. In fact, if the fate of the other starters is anything to go by, the shiny forms of these critters will not be available until Sprigatio eventually gets its Community Day. Players might even need to wait for up to three years for that to happen.
