The latest addition to Pokémon Go, Wiglett, along with its evolution, Wugtrio, from Generation 9, has made its official debut during the World of Wonders season. Although it bears a striking resemblance to Diglett, Wiglett is not simply a regional variant like Alolan Diglett; it stands as its unique Pokémon.
Catching Wiglett in Pokémon Go
To capture Wiglett, players must venture into a beach biome, as this is the only location where Wiglett spawns. A quick way to determine if you are in the right place is to attempt to catch another Pokémon. If the catch screen displays a beach background, you are indeed in the right biome.
Keep in mind, however, that Wiglett is classified as a rare spawn. You’ll need to be vigilant and monitor your Pokémon radar in the bottom right corner of your screen. Despite living near the beach, my personal experience has only led me to encounter one Wiglett. It seems elusive; even during late-night hours, sightings have been sparse.
If you don’t reside close to a beach or want to check if a certain location qualifies as a beach biome, consider utilizing the Overpass Turbo OSM tool. Input the following code, ensuring you are looking at the desired area before clicking ‘Run’.
[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
nwr["natural"="beach"]({{bbox}});
// print results
out geom;This code allows you to identify potential locations where Wiglett might appear, enhancing your chances of capturing it.
Evolving Wiglett into Wugtrio
Once you’ve successfully caught Wiglett, you may want to evolve it into Wugtrio. To do this, you will need 50 Wiglett Candy.
Given the rarity of Wiglett, it is advisable to use a Pinap Berry—preferably the Silver variety—when trying to catch it, as this will double the amount of candy you receive. Additionally, using Rare Candy or making Wiglett your buddy Pokémon after capturing one can further aid in collecting the necessary candy for evolution.
Wugtrio shares the same Water typing as Wiglett, making this evolution a seamless transition.
Good luck in your quest to find and evolve Wiglett in Pokémon Go! Happy gaming!
