Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour: All About Golett

For this week’s highlight in Pokemon Go, we’re featuring the Automaton Pokemon, Golett! Discover various methods to capture it, learn about its evolution into Golurk, and find out if there’s a chance for it to be Shiny.

In Generation 5, the adorable yet diminutive creature known as Golett joined the Pokemon family, capturing trainers’ interest with its distinctive type mix.

Among all the Pokédex entries, this Earth/Ghost-type creature is one of only four with this specific pairing. It’s evident that its evolution shares this unique trait as well. If you’re aiming to include a Golett or Golurk in your squad, look into ways to capture it within Pokémon Go.

How to get Golett in Pokemon Go

Despite the fact that Golett has been included in Niantic’s mobile game since 2019, it remains a relatively scarce Pokemon due to the limited method by which trainers can discover it.

Earlier, players had the opportunity to encounter this boss during Tier 3 Raids. Unfortunately, the current rotation of Raids does not include this large creature anymore.

Due to its mysterious nature, burning incense increases the likelihood of various Pokémon appearing around you or helps you determine if a Golett is found near a local attraction using the ‘Nearby’ function.

How to evolve Golett into Golurk

As a gamer, I’ve got a buddy here named Golett, and what makes him unique is that he’s a one-person band when it comes to evolutions – yep, you guessed it, he only has one! The good news for us trainers is that the evolution process is as simple as pie. All you need is some good old Candy, no fancy items or special requirements needed. Straightforward, right?

To evolve Golett into Golurk, players will need to collect 50 Candy.

During the forthcoming Spotlight Hour, you’ll likely have no issue accumulating sufficient Candy as Golett will be continuously spawning.

To speed up the process, make sure to use Pinap Berries when catching Golett as they increase the number caught per berry used. You can then transfer any excess Golett to Professor Willow for additional rewards.

Besides battling with Pokémon, you could also make one of them your buddy for long strolls or exchange some Scarce Sweet for additional Golett treats.

Can Golett be Shiny?

Indeed, it’s possible for a Golett to be Shiny in Pokemon Go; this unique version was introduced during the game as early as 2023, coinciding with the commencement of the Pokemon Go Fest in New York City.

Initially, it may be challenging to distinguish Shiny Golett from its standard form due to subtle differences. The typical two-tone blue body transforms into a darker shade, with light and dark grey sections becoming more prominent. Furthermore, the yellow details on its eyes and chest transition to a lime green hue.

Evolving a Shiny Golett will reward players with a Shiny Golurk, featuring a combination of light and dark grey tones, and distinct lime green accents adorning its eyes and chest.

It’s important to mention that the probability of discovering a Shiny Pokemon is quite low, since there isn’t any specific strategy or trick to ensure an encounter. Trainers can only boost their chances by persistently searching for as many Golett as possible until they finally stumble upon the desired find.

Remember to take advantage of the upcoming Spotlight Hour to see if you can find a Shiny one.

Here’s what you should know regarding Golett in Pokemon Go: Make sure to familiarize yourself with this creature. And remember to keep an eye on the latest Pokemon Go happenings, such as the ongoing Community Day and Spotlight Hours for additional gameplay experiences.
