Knowing how to get Mothim in Pokemon Go is key to completing the new Festival of Colors 2023 Collection challenge. Unfortunately, it can be quite tricky to work out which Burmy, be it male or female, evolves into Mothim. What’s more, with three versions of Burmy (Plant, Sandy, and Trash) available, capturing a Mothim can seem very complicated. Thankfully, this guide makes it easy. Here’s how to get Mothim in Pokemon Go.
How to get Mothim in Pokemon Go
To get Mothim in Pokemon Go, players must:
- First, capture a male Burmy.
- It can be Plant, Sandy, or Trash. All male Burmy Pokemon become Mothim.
- Now get 50 Burmy candies by walking or capturing them.
- Use the 50 Burmy candies to evolve a male Burmy.
- The male Burmy evolves into Mothim.
The only way to really mess up the process is by using those 50 Burmy candies to evolve a female variant. Instead of Mothim, the female variant turns into Wormodam, which will not help with completing the Festival of Colors 2023 Collection challenge.
