World of Wonders Special Research stage 1/5

Catch 20 Pokemon – 10x Poke Ball

How to evolve Poipole into Naganadel in Pokemon Go

Poipole could evolve into Naganadel with 200 Candy in Pokemon Go, according to sites like the Pokemon Go Wiki, but its evolution is not available in the game just yet.

The World of Wonders Special Research rewards players with 125 Candy when they complete stages 1 through 4. So, it’s safe to assume that completing all 5 stages will net you all the Candy you need to evolve the Poison Pin Pokemon.

Stay tuned for details about Naganadel’s availability once all steps on the World of Wonders Special Research go live.

Naganadel is a Poison/Dragon-type Ultra Beast.

Can Poipole be shiny in Pokemon Go?

No, shiny Poipole is not available in Pokemon Go yet.

The shiny versions of most Ultra Beasts in Pokemon Go are finally debuting in Pokemon Go Fest 2024, years after their original debuts. So, we expect players will have to wait a bit to get the shiny Ultra Beast in the game.

And that is everything you need to know to catch Poipole in the mobile game. For more Pokemon Go content and guides, be sure to check out the following:
