How to get Larvesta in Pokemon Go

You can get Larvesta in Pokemon Go by hatching it from 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km Eggs. Unfortunately, hatching an Egg doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get Larvesta right away. Additionally, you should note that Larvesta isn’t available in 5km and 10km Eggs obtained as Adventure Sync rewards.

Larvesta can’t be found in the wild, isn’t headlining any Raids, and isn’t part of the Field or Special Research rewards. On top of that, the hatch rate is extremely low, making it one of the hardest Pokemon to get out of the entire pool, along with Frigibax.

How to evolve Larvesta into Volcarona in Pokemon Go

Players need to spend 400 Larvesta Candy to evolve it into Volcarona in Pokemon Go. While it’s a simple evolution method, the difficulty lies in Larvesta’s availability. Players can only get Larvesta through Eggs, so they’ll need to hatch a lot of Eggs to get those 400 Candy.

Since using Pinap Berries isn’t an option to catch Larvesta, the only useful tip to speed the process up is to set Larvesta as your Buddy. Unfortunately, Larvesta needs to walk 5 km to get one Candy, which is very uncommon for a Pokemon with a 400 Candy evolution.

Can Larvesta and Volcarona be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Shiny Larvesta and shiny Volcarona aren’t available in Pokemon Go yet. Players will have to wait for a special event to get their hands on their shiny forms. We will give you an update once they make their shiny debut in Pokemon Go.
