How to Get Cutiefly in Pokemon GO

Cutiefly and Ribombee are here to stay, meaning Cutiefly can now be caught at any time. To increase the chances of Cutiefly spawning, players can utilize the usual methods such as Lure Modules and Incense. During the Spring Into Spring Event, however, there are additional ways for players to get their hands on Cutiefly.

During the Spring Into Spring Event

During this event, players can get Cutiefly through the following methods:

  • In One-Star Raids: Cutiefly will appear in One-Star Raids for the duration of the event. Players should focus on bringing Fire- and Poison-types, as these will be super-effective against Cutieflys types. Because these are One-Star raids, players will likely be able to conquer them solo.
  • In 2km Eggs: Cutiefly shares the 2km Egg Pool this event with seven other Pokemon, meaning the player has a chance to receive Cutiefly and a lot of candy through hatching 2km Eggs. Only Eggs caught during this event period have the chance to contain Cutiefly.

How to Get Ribombee in Pokemon GO

Ribombee cannot currently be caught in the wild in Pokemon GO. This means the only methods players can use to acquire the Bee Fly Pokemon are trading and evolution. In order to evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee, players need 50 Cutiefly Candy.

How to Get Cutiefly Candy

Here are some tips for reaching 50 Cutiefly Candy fast:

  • Set Cutiefly as a Buddy: Walking with Cutiefly as a Buddy will earn the player one Cutiefly Candy per 1km.
  • Use Pinap Berries: Using Pinap Berries (or Silver Pinap Berries) will double the amount of Candy players can get from catching one Cutiefly.

Can Cutiefly be Shiny?

Unfortunately, at this time, Cutiefly cannot be shiny in Pokemon GO. It's likely that shiny Cutiefly will be added during a later event or update.

Pokemon GO is available now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
