Pokemon GO features multiple Pokemon in events; the most recent one is Jangmo-o. The Dragon-type monster isn’t the only feature, as the Noxious Swamp event also debuts Shiny Skrelp and Shiny Dragalge, along with other pre-existing Pokemon. Jangmo-o first debuted in Pokemon GO in 2022 as a part of the Welcome to Alola event.
The Pokemon GO Noxious Swamp event is bringing back Jangmo-o in the game. The event also offers multiple bonuses, in-game items, and several Pokemon encounters, including Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mega Salamence in raids. Noxious Swamp also has a Timed research quest offering various rewards, and completing all tasks rewards an encounter with Jangmo-o. This guide explores different ways of acquiring Jangmo-o and the availability of Shiny Jangmo-o.
How To Get Jangmo-o in Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO players can now have a chance to get a guaranteed Jangmo-o encounter. The Noxious Swamp event offers multiple rewards, several wild and Shiny spawns, and a Jangmo-o encounter. The Event-exclusive Timed Research quest has several tasks that, upon completion, reward the monster.
Noxious Swamp Timed Research: Jangmo-o
The Pokemon GO Noxious Swamp event is in the limelight due to the debut of Shiny Skrelp, but it also offers multiple Poison and Dragon-type monsters. Among the Dragon-types is Jangmo-o. Since this event is a Timed Research, its deadline is August 22, 8:00 p.m. local time. Players must complete all the tasks before the deadline to encounter Jangmo-o. Players should also know that it is a free Timed Research; therefore, gamers do not need to buy any ticket or pass.
Timed Research Tasks | Rewards |

Power up Pokemon 15 times | Skrelp encounter |
Battle in 3 raids | Alolan Grimer encounter |
Use 15 supereffective Charged Attacks | Trapinch encounter |

Win a three-star raid using only Pokémon with 2,500 CP or less | Hisuian Qwilfish encounter |

Completing all these tasks will reward players with 50 Mega Salamance Energy, 50 Mega Sceptile Energy, and a guaranteed Jangmo-o encounter.
Pokemon GO: Can Jangmo-o Be Shiny?
The developers at Niantic are famous for delaying Shiny debuts. Many Shiny variants release years after the original variant’s debut, and the same is with Jangmo-o. Although Jangmo-o first appeared in 2022, Shiny Jangmo-o has yet to get a Pokemon GO debut. The Noxious Swamp event doesn't include a chance to encounter a Shiny Jangmo-o. Still, there is a strong chance that Shiny Jangmo-o might debut in future events.
Pokemon GO: How to get Hakamo-o and Kommo-o
The solo Dragon-type Jangmo-o can evolve into a powerful Hakamo-o and later evolve into a Kommo-o. Players need 25 Pokemon GO Candy to evolve a Jangmo-o into a Hakamo-o. Using 100 more Candy, Hakamo-o further evolves into Kommo-o, a formidable creature with a dual Dragon/Fighting typing.
