The ore Pokemon, Glimmet, is now available in Pokemon GO, but you have to put a little work into catching it, as Glimmet isn't spawning in the wild as part of the "Into the Depths" event. Instead, you need to complete tasks focused on walking to get Glimmet in Pokemon GO. It's unclear how common Glimmet might or might not be when this event is over, so you should catch it now while you can, if you want to complete your Pokedex in Pokemon GO.
We also recommend you earn enough Glimmet Candy to evolve Glimmet into Glimmora in Pokemon GO while there's so many Glimmet available to catch. For an easier time earning that Candy, this guide can help you find and evolve Glimmet quicker by listing all the ways you can catch this Gen 9 Pokemon.

How to Get Glimmet in Pokemon GO
Here are all the ways you can currently get Glimmet in Pokemon GO:
- Complete the "Explore 3km" Field Research task
- Complete the free Timed Research during "Into the Depths"
- Complete the paid "Into the Depths" Timed Research
- Encounter during Routes in Pokemon GO
As you can see, it's a little harder to get Glimmet than some other Pokemon debuts in Pokemon GO, as Glimmet is not encountered in the wild, and this is an event that focuses on exploring to clear its tasks. So, you're going to have to commit to a bit of walking in order to get Glimmet and its Candy — if you want to evolve it.
We recommend getting Glimmet during the "Into the Depths" event, as you never know how rare a Pokemon will be in wild spawns once an event is over. If it's even added to the wild spawn list at all. Glimmet could also be limited to special events like these in the future. So, best to stock up on Glimmet Candy in Pokemon GO now while you can.
How to Evolve Glimmet into Glimmora in Pokemon GO
You need to give Glimmet 50 Candies to evolve it into Glimmora in Pokemon GO. Thankfully, that's all that's required, so you can keep a hold of your Lure Modules and other special evolution items in Pokemon GO for the next Pokemon that needs it.
If you're finding it hard to get 50 Glimmet Candy, remember that you can use Pinap Berries to get more for catching one, that you can use Rare Candy instead, and that you can earn Glimmet Candy even after the "Into the Depths" event is over by making Glimmet your buddy in Pokemon GO.
