In Pokemon GO, plenty of the newer Pokemon specimens are added gradually to the game through new seasons or limited-time in-game events. On May 23, 2024, Pokemon GO is hosting an event titled Ultra Space Wonders.
During this event, Naganadel will be making its Pokemon GO debut, meaning Trainers will finally be able to evolve any of their newly or previously captured Poipole. For this reason, knowing how to evolve these Pokemon will come in handy, as well as information regarding shiny possibilities, as special Pokemon such as Legendaries or Ultra Beasts are often among the most popular choices for players to seek out.

Pokemon GO players who are looking to find shiny Bounsweet, Steene or Tsareena will find all the information they'll need to do so in this guide.
How To Evolve Poipole Into Naganadel In Pokemon GO
In Pokemon GO, players can usually only obtain Poipole through Special Research and Timed Research, such as the World of Wonders Special Research or Wonder Ticker Part 3. Prior to the 2024 Ultra Space Wonders event, Poipole was unable to evolve due to Naganadel not being in the game. However, with this event going live, Trainers will now have the opportunity to trigger this evolution if they wish to do so.
To evolve Poipole into Naganadel in Pokemon GO, players will need to follow a method that is slightly more complicated than the usual basic accumulation of Candy through several different methods. First, players will need to obtain a Poipole and make this Pokemon their in-game buddy. In addition to Poipole being assigned as your buddy, you will also need to have accumulated 200 Poipole Candy. Once you have achieved both of these steps, you will lastly need to successfully capture at least 20 Dragon-type Pokemon while Poipole remains assigned as your buddy.
Can Poipole & Naganadel Be Shiny In Pokemon GO?
Sadly, in Pokemon GO, both Poipole and Naganadel are unable to be shiny hunted as of May 23, 2024. This is because, at this time, neither of these Pokemon have shiny variants available in the game. This is disappointing to many fans, as Poipole and Naganadel have quite endearing shiny forms, utilizing a color palette that brings a rather eye-catching difference in forms compared to some other special Pokemon shiny variants. However, shiny availability for Poipole and Naganadel may change in the future. If this is to happen, it will likely be introduced through a special event, like many other shiny forms have been in the past.
