12 km Eggs

Starting with the Fashion Week Taken Over event, Shroodle can be found in 12 km Eggs. These special Eggs can only be procured by defeating the three Team GO Rocket leaders — Cliff, Sierra, and Arlo — provided you have an empty Egg slot. Note that defeating Giovanni doesn't provide you with a 12 km Egg.

The current 12 km Egg pool contains the following critters:

• Shroodle
• Pancham
• Salandit
• Varoom
• Vullaby
• Pawniard
• Sandile
• Larvitar [rare]

Egg hatches are always at level 20 and have at least 10/10/10 IVs. They are also not affected by weather. Based on this, Shroodle's CP will lie in the following range:

• 487 - 531 CP (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 CP)

Trade

If you are unable to hatch a Shroodle on your own, you can ask a friend to trade you one. However, if you don't have the critter registered on your Pokedex, it will count as a Special Trade. These can cost a lot in terms of Stardust.
