Summary
- Players can evolve Shadow Koffing into Shadow Galarian Weezing during the Legendary Heroes event.
- Gathering 50 Pokemon Candies is necessary to evolve a Koffing into a Galarian Weezing.
- Galarian Weezing has a dual Poison and Fairy type, providing additional moves but also weaknesses.
Shadow Galarian Weezing has joined the evolution pool for the Pokemon GO Legendary Heroes event which runs until October 1. Each Pokemon GO event incentivizes players to return to the game, and some may come back specifically for this Shadow Pokemon.
As Pokemon GO has been updated over the years, it has received Pokemon from each generation. This constantly expanding Pokedex allows players to often see fresh faces when they launch the game. Pokemon GO now includes Pokemon from Gen 1 up to Gen 9, with some Pokemon missing from Generations 6 and higher. Beyond standard Pokemon, there are regional variants from Alola, Galar, Hisui, and Paldea. These give players a reason to farm Pokemon Candies to unlock each regional variant on top of its standard form. Gamers have discovered that the latest event allows them to evolve their Shadow Koffing into Shadow Galarian Weezing for the first time.
Pokemon GO: Best Moveset For Shadow Raikou
Pokemon GO players can prepare for battle by equipping their Shadow Raikou with one of the best movesets found in this guide.
Reddit user _Crotha is among many Pokemon GO players sharing their success in evolving a Shadow Koffing into a Shadow Galarian Weezing. Although many features and Pokemon were confirmed for the Legendary Heroes event ahead of time, the Shadow Galarian Pokemon was notably absent. Like evolving a Koffing into a typical Weezing, 50 Pokemon Candies are required to evolve it into a Galarian Weezing. Players that don't already have a Shadow Koffing can acquire one during the Legendary Heroes event. These Shadow Koffings can be found in 1-Star Shadow Raids alongside Galarian Ponyta and Darumaka, Goomy, and Jangmo.
Legendary Heroes Lets Players Obtain Shadow Galarian Weezing
As Koffing's CP may vary, players might wish to evolve their highest-level Koffing if they intend to defend Gyms with their Galarian Weezing. Beyond having a new Shadow Pokemon in their collection, Pokemon GO players may choose to evolve their Shadow Koffing into Galarian Weezing for the type change. A standard Weezing is strictly a Poison-type Pokemon, while Galarian Weezing is a dual-type Poison and Fairy. The Fairy-typing adds many attacks to its arsenal, removes the weakness against Poison, and is immune to many Dragon-type attacks. The main drawback to evolving Koffing into Galarian Weezing is the Ground, Steel, and Psychic weaknesses players will have to contend with. These weaknesses may make fighting other Pokemon harder depending on their typing.
As Shadow Galarian Weezing wasn't teased for the event ahead of time, Niantic may remove its inclusion in a hotfix. With Niantic regularly updating Pokemon GO, this likely won't be the last time that players can evolve their Shadow Koffing into Galarian Weezing.
