Wild encounters

The easiest way to get Gossifleur in the mobile game is to capture it in the wild. It will have boosted encounter rates during the Spring into Spring event from 10 am local time on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, until 8 pm local time on Monday, April 14, 2025. After this, it might appear at any point but will likely remain a rare find.

Note that Sunny or Clear weather boosts Gossifleur's encounter rate in the wild. It also boosts its max CP in the wild to 624. Without a weather boost, the highest CP Gossifleur you can find in the wild will have 576 CP to its name.

5 km Eggs

5 km Eggs — found by spinning PokeStops — from the Spring into Spring event will have a chance to hatch Gossifleur. This is a good way to farm its Candy. Hatched versions of this critter will always be at level 20 and have between 347 and 384 CP (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs).

Research rewards

Gossifleur in Pokemon GO can be found from Field and Timed Research task encounters from the Spring into Spring event. Herein, they will always be at level 15 and be found at 260 - 288 CP (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs).

Trade

If you are unable to find a Gossifleur on your own, ask an in-game friend to trade you one. Note that this will count as a Special Trade and cost a hefty amount of Stardust, depending on your Friendship level.
