How to get Cetoddle In Pokemon GO
Cetoddle is a solo Ice-type Pokemon originating from the Paldea region. It has a maximum Pokemon GO Combat Power (CP) of 1469, and its stat spread comprises 119 ATK, 80 DEF, and 239 STA. The monster can access a total of 5 moves: 2 Fast Moves comprising Ice Shard (Ice) and Tackle (Normal), and 3 Charged Moves comprising Body Slam (Normal), Avalanche (Ice), and Heavy Slam (Steel).
Pokemon GO: Get Cetoddle Through Wild Encounters
Cetoddle is a wild spawn, and its spawn rate increases during events featuring the monster. The increased spawn rate can boost even more using multiple Pokemon GO items. Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost function can significantly increase a monster’s spawn rate.
Cetoddle experiences a Weather Boost around snowy areas. Players can use it to their advantage and locate a PokeStop or Gym in snowy weather, attach a Lure Module to it, and activate an Incense. After doing so, players must walk around that area to experience the increased Pokemon spawn rate. This method will stack all the in-game elements' effects and significantly increase Cetoddle’s spawn rate, especially during featured events.
Pokemon GO: Get Cetoddle Through 1-Star Raids
Cetoddle is a solo Ice-type Pokemon and a 1-star raid boss in Pokemon GO. Since the raid boss is an average fighter, players with proper counters can attend the Cetoddle raid solo. Those who win the 1-star raid can encounter a Cetoddle somewhere nearby.

How To Get Cetitan In Pokemon GO
Cetoddle can spawn in the wild or as a 1-star raid and Research task encounter. However, Cetitan isn't directly available; one must catch Cetoddle and evolve it into a Cetitan. Players need 50 Cetoddle Candy to initiate the evolution and get a Cetitan in Pokemon GO. One can farm the required number of Candy by catching and transferring multiple Cetoddle.
Can Cetoddle And Cetitan Be Shiny In Pokemon GO
While one can get a Cetoddle and Cetitan in Pokemon GO, Shiny collectors wonder if they can catch the Shiny variants. Niantic usually debuts the Standard and Shiny variants of a Pokemon on different events and dates, and the same is true with Cetoddle. Although Cetoddle and Cetitan have debuted, Shiny Cetoddle and Shiny Cetitan have yet to be released. That being the case, the Shiny variants may debut sometime in future events.
