Gossifleur makes its debut in Pokémon Go as part of April 2025’s “Spring into Spring” event.
The Galar grass-type can evolve into Eldegoss as part of its evolution line with enough Candy in your possession.
As with the recent addition of Nickit, Gossifleur appears in the wild as part of this event, but can also be sourced elsewhere if you need extra Candy, and / or want one with the best possible stats before evolving.
How to get Gossifleur in Pokémon Go
First appearing in April 2025’s “Spring into Spring” event, on its debut, Gossifleur can be found:
- In the wild
- By hatching 5 km eggs
- In “Spring into Spring” event Field Research (one of three “Hatch 2 Eggs” task encounter rewards)
- In the “Spring into Spring” Premium Timed Research Ticket (rewarded upon completing the first and second page of challenges)
- “Spring into Spring Hatch Challenge” Collection Challenge reward
As with Nickit most recently, Gossifleur is a fairly common wild spawn during the event, meaning you should have few issues finding one for your Pokédex.
The other methods, however, are a little more unpredictable. Gossifleur is a Field Research reward for the “Hatch 2 Eggs” task, but is only one of three possible encounter outcomes.
It can also appear in eggs, and while we’d usually recommend against using the loot box-like system to source a particular Pokémon, since getting a Gossifleur is one of the requirements in the “Hatch Challenge” Collection Challenge, it’s worth opening 5 km eggs you pick up during the event period to at least tick this off the list. Doing this challenge also gives you an additional Gossifleur encounter if you need it.
Finally, Gossifleur will also appear twice as a reward for completing the “Spring into Spring” Premium Timed Research Ticket. Again, Gossifleur is common enough in the wild that you shouldn’t feel compelled to spend the $2 (or regional equivalent) to rely on this, so consider it an added extra.
How to get evolution Eldegoss in Pokémon Go
To get Eldegoss in Pokémon Go, you must evolve Gossifleur with 50 Candy.
With the variety of ways you can get Gossifleur during the event, sourcing Candy shouldn’t be huge issue. But as new Pokémon tend to disappear from the game for a short period after their debut, you’ll likely want as much as you can to guarantee Eldegoss’s Pokédex entry in a timely manner.
As such, the usual methods of squeezing in some extra Candy should still apply, such as using Pinap Berries when catching, and having a grass-type Mega Evolution active throughout the event.
Can Gossifleur be shiny in in Pokémon Go?
Gossifleur cannot be shiny in Pokémon Go on its debut at the time of writing. This is par the course for new additions to the game, and chances are we’ll be waiting for some time for that to change.
Until then, you can see what shiny Gossifleur looks like thanks to Pokémon Sword and Shield and this video from DeadFishEyeZzz on YouTube.
