How can players find Mothim in Pokemon GO Festival of Colors 2023?

The Festival of Colors 2023 event began on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, at 10:00 am and will continue until Tuesday, March 14, 2023, at 8:00 pm local time. Trainers worldwide have around a week to catch all available pocket monsters, especially the debuting Bruxish and mega-evolved form of Medicham.

The aforementioned Collection Challenge for the Festival of Colors 2023 event in Pokemon GO is as follows:

Festival of Colors 2023 Collection Challenge

• Catch a Koffing
• Catch a Stunky
• Catch a Wobbuffet
• Catch a Natu
• Catch a Shuckle
• Catch a Paras
• Catch a Krabby
• Catch a Bruxish
• Catch a Burmy (Plant)
• Catch a Burmy (Sandy)
• Catch a Burmy (Trash)
• Catch a Mothim
• Rewards: 20000 XP, 1 Lure Module

As discussed above, the last pocket monster on the list has been tricky for Pokemon GO trainers to get a hold of to complete the Collection Challenge. In Generation IV, Mothim is a dual-type pocket monster sporting a Bug and Flying type combination.

In Pokemon GO, trainers must catch a Burmy but ensure it is male. The pocket monster is available as a wild spawn with an increased frequency during the Festival of Colors 2023 event. It is also available as a Field Research task encounter.

Players will be able to find the gender of the Burmy after capturing the said critter. The symbol for the same will be available on the right-hand side of its HP bar. The circle with a cross beneath is female, and the circle with a line on its right side is female.

Once they have managed, all trainers need is 50 Burmy Candy to get their hands on Mothim. A female Burmy would instead evolve into Wormadam. For those looking for the best moveset on Mothim, the moves are Bug Bite and Bug Buzz. Catching a Mothim will enable trainers to complete the said Collection Challenge and get their hands on the announced rewards.

The wild spawns for the Festival of Colors 2023 event are as follows:

• Paras (shiny encounter is available)
• Krabby (shiny encounter is available)
