Grumpig in  Pokémon GO: How and where to get it

Getting Grumpig in Pokémon GO is actually quite simple.

You will only need to evolve into Spoink with 50 Candies. This means that Grumpig will not appear in the wild during normal circumstances.

The complex thing then will be to find a Spoink. First you should know that it is not among the possible Egg Hatches. Therefore, he can only appear wild throughout the game map.

It should be noted that both Spoink and Grumpig have previously appeared in specific biomes. It seems that they like windy weather, so take advantage of it to find them.

Regarding Spoink Candies, you can get them by capturing this peculiar Pokémon, transferring it, or taking it as a companion.

Grumpig Shiny: Is it possible to get it?

If you’re interested in a Grumpig Shiny in Pokémon GO , you’ll be happy to know that its Shiny variant is now available in the virtual reality game. However, you cannot directly capture Grumpig Shiny.

The only method will be to first find a Spoink Shiny and evolve it into Grumpig Shiny.

Remember that the probability of finding a Shiny in Pokémon GO is only 0.2% (1 in 500). The best way to find it is by taking advantage of special events like Featured Hours.

In these, the featured Pokémon will appear much more frequently , including its Shiny Variant. If you keep catching Pokémon in such an event, you would eventually come across a Shiny version.
