Gen 9’s resident Electric-type rodent, Pawmi, is getting the spotlight put on it in Pokemon Go. Here’s how trainers can find Pawmi in the wild and whether or not you can get a Shiny version of it.

The Adventures Abound season in Pokemon Go added a ton of new content to the mobile monster-catching game, including the debut of several Gen 9 Pokemon.

Part of that new content was the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event, which brought Pokemon from Scarlet & Violet over to Pokemon Go. This included the likes of Bombirdier, Nymble, and Frigibax, along with other powerful ‘Mons.

Additionally, trainers also gained the chance to get their hands on Pawmi — Generation 9’s Pikachu clone. Here’s everything you need to know about catching Pawmi, evolving it, and whether or not it can be Shiny.

How to catch Pawmi in Pokemon Go

Pawmi will appear in droves during Pokemon Go’s next Spotlight Hour, which will occur on March 5, 2024, between 6 PM and 7 PM local time.

Pawmi has been available for trainers to find randomly in the wild since September 2023, so you still have a good chance of encountering one in the overworld after the Spotlight Hour has concluded.

If you’re struggling to find one, you can use Incense to boost the amount of Pokemon that spawn in your radius. You can also check the ‘Nearby’ feature to see if there are any Pawmi in your area.

Pawmi currently cannot be hatched from Eggs in Pokemon Go.

Pawmi can evolve into Pawmo by using 25 Pawmi Candy on it. To get the final evolution Pawmot, trainers must walk 25 km with Pawmo as their Buddy Pokemon and then use 100 Pawmi Candy on it.

Pawmo and Pawmot also gain the secondary Fighting-type in addition to its Electric-typing.

Once fully evolved, Pawmot will have a maximum of 2978 CP, a maximum attack stat of 232, and a maximum defense stat of 141.
