As part of Fashion Week, Pokemon GO has added Furfrou to the popular Mobile title. Although the normal-type doesn't evolve, it is inspired by the Poodle, so it has 10 alternate Trim Forms. Trainers can obtain all styles by changing their Furfrou with a new system.
This new Form-change mechanic in Pokemon GO is currently only available for Furfrou, but it could become the norm for style variations in the AR title's future. It isn't the only Pokemon with unique fashions, so having this mechanic is a great alternative to hoping for a chance encounter with the Form trainers want.
How to Catch Furfrou in Pokemon GO
Before changing Furfrou's Trim, trainers will need to encounter and catch one. There are many ways to find Furfrou in Pokemon GO during Fashion Week, including:
- Wild Spawns
- Completing Pokemon GO Fashion Week Field Research
- Completing event exclusive Timed Research tasks
- 1 Star Furfrou Raids
- Getting Photobombed by Furfrou up to 3 times a day
- Using an Incense or Lure Module to attract more wild spawns
Every encounter with the normal-type Pokemon will be its Natural Form. Once it has been caught, trainers can then decide which Trim they would like to change it to. However, while Furfrou has 9 Forms other than its Natural look, there are many that are region-locked.
How to Unlock All Furfrou Forms in Pokemon GO
Here are all 10 Furfrou Forms in Pokemon GO, and what region they are exclusive to:
Furfrou Form | Exclusive to |
|---|---|
Natural Form | Available in the wild globally |
Matron Trim | Available as a form change globally |
Dandy Trim | Available as a form change globally |
Debutante Trim | Available as a form change in the Americas |
Diamond Trim | Available as a form change in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa |
Star Trim | Available as a form change in the Asia-Pacific |
La Reine Trim | Available as a form change in France |
Kabuki Trim | Available as a form change in Japan |
Pharaoh Trim | Available as a Form change in Egypt |
Heart Trim | Not yet revealed |
This region-specific method of changing Forms means Pokemon GO players are currently only able to obtain 4 of the 10 Furfrou Trims. On top of this, changing to a Form isn't free, and will cost players some precious resources: 25 Furfrou Candy and 10,000 Stardust per change.
This Trim change can be implemented from the menu that lets trainers power up and evolve Pokemon. A new "Change Form" option will now be available. All trainers need to do from here is select the Form they want to change their Poodle Pokemon to.
Pokemon GO is available now on Android and iOS devices.
