Cherubi, Overcast Cherrim and Sunshine Cherrim in Pokemon Go

Cherubi can evolve in Pokemon Go, but the mobile game doesn’t follow the same rules as mainline games. For players wondering how to evolve Cherubi, here’s everything you need to know to get Sunshine and Overcast Cherrim.

Longtime Pokemon fans know that Gen 4 Pokemon Cherubi can evolve into Cherrim, a creature with two different forms depending on the weather. However, Pokemon Go doesn’t allow Cherrim to change forms but instead treats each form like a different Pokemon.

Since Cherubi is one of the featured Pokemon in the Sustainability Week 2023 event in Pokemon Go, here’s everything you need to know about Cherubi’s evolutions.

Cherrim can have two different forms in Pokemon Go.

How to evolve Cherubi into Sunshine or Overcast Cherrim in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go players looking to evolve Cherubi will need to spend 50 Cherubi Candy and press the ‘Evolve’ button to get Cherrim. As always, we recommend using Pinap Berries when catching Cherubi to speed up the process. Setting Cherubi as your Buddy can also help because it’s one of those Pokemon that only need to walk 1 km to get Candy.

As we mentioned, Cherubi can evolve into one of two forms of Cherrim. Unfortunately, players have no way to know which one they’re going to get since Cherubi’s evolution is completely random. This means that trainers might need to evolve a few Cherubi to get both the Sunshine and Overcast forms of Cherrim.

The weather does affect what Cherrim spawn in the wild, so players might prefer that approach to get the Blossom Pokemon. There might also be future events, like Community Day, focused on one of the two forms for players to catch, which already occurred in 2022.

Can Cherubi & Cherrim be shiny in Pokemon Go?

The good news is that Cherubi, Sunshine Cherrim, and Overcast Cherrim can be shiny in Pokemon Go.

The shiny versions of these Pokemon debuted in 2022 during the Sustainability Week event and have increased spawn rates during this year’s edition.
