How to get Eldegoss in Pokemon GO, and can it be shiny?

Eldegoss in Pokemon GO debuts during the Spring into Spring event on April 9, 2025. The creature is the evolved form of Gossifleur, both hailing from the Galar region of the Pokemon Sword and Shield games. It is a Grass-type critter that is quite unremarkable in terms of stats and move pool. As of writing, Eldegoss doesn't have a shiny version in Pokemon GO.

Despite being more of a Pokedex filler, trainers would want to get their hands on this critter. This article covers everything you need to know to do so.

Evolve Gossifleur

As of April 2025, the only way to get your hands on an Eldegoss in Pokemon GO is via evolution. Gossifleur evolves when fed 50 Candy. There are several ways to find and catch the base form. You can use these to find the critter you want to evolve and farm Candy.

Gathering 50 Candy is not that hard. You get three Candy for capturing each Eldegoss. This can be increased to six by using a Pinap or Silver Pinap Berry. You also get additional Candy if you have a Grass-type creature Mega Evolved. You can also transfer additional Gossifleur for some Candy. If push comes to shove, you can also use Rare Candy to evolve this critter into Eldegoss

Trade

If you cannot find a Gossifleur to evolve or the resources to get the job done, you can always ask an in-game friend to transfer one of their Eldegoss in Pokemon GO to you. This will be a Special Trade and cost a fair amount of Stardust, depending on your Friendship level with this person.
