In Pokemon GO, a celebration event is currently ongoing. The Pokemon Horizons: The Series event is celebrating the latest season of the Pokemon anime. Several alternate forms of Pocket Monsters based on the anime will appear during this period, including Floragato wearing a hat with the protagonist Liko's pin. However, this Floragato cannot evolve during the event.

Floragato has been Liko's partner in the anime since the start of Pokemon Horizons. Thanks to this event, fans of the anime will now get a chance to catch their own Floragato based on Liko's in the app.

In this article, we discuss why Floragato cannot evolve in this event.

Currently, Floragato wearing a hat with Liko's Pin cannot be evolved into Meowscarada. This is interesting considering that Liko's Floragato has evolved into Meowscarada in recent episodes of Pokemon Horizons. Thus, a variant of Liko's Meowscarada may be released later in the game.

Also, players could hold onto their event Floragato in hopes that it gains the ability to evolve later. For comparison, the Pokemon Kubfu cannot evolve in its current form but is expected to be able to do so at some point in the future.

Pokemon GO: Floragato stats and moves

Type: Grass
Attack: 157
Defense: 128
Stamina: 156
Max CP: 1899
Fast Attacks: Charm and Leafage
Charged Attacks: Play Rough, Grass Knot, and Energy Ball

Since this hat-wearing Floragato does not learn any new moves, it has the same capabilities as its base form. Unfortunately, its inability to evolve renders it useless in PvP. While it can counter Quagsire and Gastrodon in the Great League, any decent Grass-type can perform that role and provide additional utility to their team.
