Below are the five ways to add the Grass Cat Pokemon to your collection:

• Catch in the wild
• Complete Research Tasks
• Photobomb
• Hatch Eggs
• Trade

Catch in the wild

The spawn rate of Sprigatito is boosted during events like Community Day. This means event participants have the opportunity to obtain this Paldean Starter Pokemon. The chance to find Sprigatito during Sunny Weather is much higher because the in-game Weather Boost effect increases its wild spawns.

On top of this, you can use the Lure Module and Incense to attract spawns of Sprigatito in Pokemon GO to your location.

Complete Research Tasks

Research Tasks have been offering encounter awards in the game for many years. During occasions like Community Day, you will have the opportunity to complete Field Research, Timed Research, and Special Research Tasks to come upon this Pocket Monster as a find award.

Photobomb

Taking augmented reality (AR) photos of Pocket Monsters can help you get photobomb encounters of Sprigatito in Pokemon GO.

Hatch Eggs

If you have participated in past GO events like A Paldean Adventure, then you must be aware that Sprigatito could be obtained as Egg hatches. That said, there was a time in the game, from September 15, 2023, to September 3, 2024, when you could get this Grass-type creature from 5 KM Eggs.

Trade

Alternatively, when you don’t have any options left to get Sprigatito in Pokemon GO, ask your in-game to do a trade with you.
