On Tuesday, August 15, 2023, the Pokemon GO World Championships event concludes with an exciting lineup of festivities. Trainers can expect an abundance of Pokemon spawns from various regions and types. Among them, the Fighting-type Pokemon, Machop, will be highly visible in the wild. Additionally, trainers will encounter Chinchou, Wooper, Sableye, Meditite, Wooloo, Bunnelby, Drilbur, Scraggy, Onix, Lickitung, and the Water/Ice-type Pokemon, Spheal, native to the Hoenn region.
This event grants players a fantastic opportunity to capture numerous Spheal. As a result, some trainers have been actively seeking information about this Pokemon, as well as its evolutions, Sealeo and Walrein. In this guide, we will cover the methods to capture Spheal, how to evolve it, and the optimal movesets for its evolution line.
How to Get Spheal and Evolve it Into Sealeo
The spawn rate of Spheal will be boosted until 8 pm local time on August 15th. However, after the event ends, players will have to seek out Spheal near bodies of water or during Rainy/Snowy weather conditions in Pokemon GO.
To evolve Spheal into Sealeo, PoGo players need to collect 25 Candy. This can be achieved by trading in duplicate Spheal to the professor, using Pinap berries during encounters, or making Spheal their Buddy Pokemon and taking it for walks.
Evolving Sealeo into Walrein
And then, to evolve Sealeo into Walrein, trainers need to give Sealeo 100 Candy.
