Pokemon GO developers let players get Heart Furfrou during the Carnival of Love event. Furfrou has numerous forms known as Trims, and each one’s appearance is notably different. But changing the monster’s Trim doesn’t alter its attribute type and other stats.

Heart Furfrou and other Furfrou trips have the same typing, stats, and move pool, the only difference being their colors and trims. The Standard variant and all of its Trim variants are highly sought-after by collectors, and while some are available, some trims are region-specific. The developers at Niantic often feature Furfrou at events like Fashion Week and the Carnival of Love in Pokemon GO. Catching a Furfrou is the first step if players want a Heart Furfrou in the game. That said, this guide explores the best way to get Heart Furfrou and, if available, the best way to get Shiny Heart Furfrou.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Heart Furfrou

Heart Furfrou in Pokemon GO

Furfrou is a Normal-type monster with a maximum Pokemon GO Combat Power (CP) of 2387. The beast possesses a balanced stat spread of 164 ATK, 167 DEF, and 181 STA; none of its stats stand out, making it a mediocre fighter. Its move pool comprises 4 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks; the monster’s best moveset combines Bite (Dark-type) and Grass Knot (Grass-type), inflicting 10.20 DPS. Whether it is a Heart Furfrou or any other trim variant, they all possess identical stats and attacks.

Pokemon GO trainers on a hunt for Heart Furfrou must first catch a Standard Furfrou. Niantic has set Furfrou as a wild Pokemon and often boosts its spawn rate during events that feature the monster. Players can use such a boosted spawn rate and hunt for Furfrou during events like the Carnival of Love.

Once players get a Furfrou, all that’s left is to change it into a Heart Trim Furfrou. While some trims are region-specific and some are available worldwide, the Heart Trim Furfrou is available for everyone during the Carnival of Love 2024 event. But, there are some steps that trainers must follow to get it.

  • Tap on Furfrou's summary in the Pokemon Storage.
  • Tap the Change Form button, and a new list with available options emerges.
  • There are multiple Trims, but one must navigate to the Heart Furfrou.
  • Changing Furfrou’s trims in Pokemon GO costs 25 Candy and 10000 Stardust.

After completing these steps, the Standard Furfrou changes into a Heart Trim Furfrou. But players wonder if they can get a Shiny Furfrou or a Shiny Heart Trim Furfrou in Pokemon GO. One can get a Shiny Furfrou or a Shiny Heart Trim Furfrou, but it requires extensive grinding.

How To Get A Shiny Heart Furfrou In Pokemon GO

Shiny Heart Furfrou in Pokemon GO

One must first catch a Shiny Furfrou in the wild to later change its form into a Shiny Heart Furfrou. Wild Shiny hunting is a tedious task, but players can build some strategies during events featuring the specific monster. Events like Carnival of Love 2024 featuring Furfrou boost its wild spawn rate, and players can also use other Pokemon GO items to increase it further.

The Weather Boost effect and items like Lure Modules and Incense can significantly boost wild monster spawn rates. Furfrou experiences a wild spawn rate boost in areas with partly cloudy weather. One must look for a PokeStop or Gym with such weather conditions, attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module, activate an Incense, and traverse around. This strategy can stack their effects and significantly increase Furfrou’s wild spawn rate, especially during events featuring it.

This combined effect might help players encounter numerous Furfrou and match its Shiny odds. Once Pokemon GO players get a Shiny Heart Furfrou, all that’s left is changing its form using the abovementioned steps. Changing the Trim of a Shiny Furfrou is the same as changing its Standard variant.
