Obstagoon was added to Pokemon GO a while back. It's not as simple as capturing a Zigzagoon to get one. Players will need to rely on a little luck.

Zigzagoon is the first form of Linoone, but that changes when Zigzagoon is in its Galarian form. Some Galar region Pokemon were added to Pokemon GO, including the likes of Meowth and Zigzagoon; however, they can't really be found wandering about in the wild.

Galarian Zigzagoon evolves into Galarian Linoone and then into Obstagoon. One of the original ways to obtain a Galarian Zigzagoon was to incubate 7km eggs

Some Galarian forms began to appear back in June 2020. Pokemon GO players need to hope that Zigzagoon is part of the 7km egg rotation.

The second and ideal way to get a Galarian Zigzagoon in Pokemon GO is to win League Battles against other trainers. If players wIn three matches in a row, they'll get a chance to catch a Galarian Zigzagoon. This method is a lot more difficult.
