Generation 4’s Bug Catcher monster Carnivine is available for trainers to find in Pokemon Go, though it’s quite hard to snag. So, let’s break down how players can find Carnivine and whether or not it can be Shiny in Pokemon Go.

This Grass-type Pokemon first appeared in the Generation 4 games Diamond and Pearl. Carnivine then made its Pokemon Go debut alongside other Sinnoh species in October 2018.

Collectors will be upset to hear that Carnivine is exceedingly challenging to catch in the mobile application as it is region-exclusive. This means it can only be found in a specific part of the world.

However, Pokemon Go Sinnoh Tour 2024 has made encountering Carnivine a little simpler for trainers, though they’ll have to act fast to get it. Keep reading for more information.
