How to get Ferroseed in Pokemon Go

Since it first appeared in the game, Ferroseed has been obtainable through many different methods. However, there are only three ways players can currently catch one:

• As a wild encounter
• As a Tier 1 Raid Boss
• As a Shadow Pokemon from Team GO Rocket Grunt encounters (“You’re no match for my iron will!”)

Additionally, Ferroseed will be featured through an Incense Day event on May 26, 2024. During the event, Ferroseed and its Shiny form will have an increased spawn chance when using Incense.

Previously, this small but powerful creature hatched from 10 km Eggs and players could also get it as a reward for completing Field Research tasks such as “Catch 5 Pokemon: Test Your Mettle” or Special/Timed Research Tasks like “An Instinctive Hero – 2nd part: Spin 20 PokeStops and Gyms”.

The evolution process for Ferroseed is quite straightforward, as it only has one stage and doesn’t need any special items, requirements, or Buddy tasks.

To evolve Ferroseed into Ferrothron players just need to feed it 50 Ferroseed Candy.

Remember that if you’re low on Candy, you can use Pinap Berries to double the candies you get per catch. Additionally, you can send your extra Ferroseed to Professor Willow or set it up as your Buddy.

Can Ferroseed be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Ferroseed can be Shiny in Pokemon Go. This variation was introduced into the game during the Pokemon Go Special Weekend event in November 2020.

Remember that spotting one of these special variants is not easy, as you’ll have to tap on as many wild Pokemon as you can until you find it. Luckily, Shiny Ferroseed is easy to recognize thanks to its blue spikes.
