How to get Mothim in Pokemon GO
The Generation 6 Moth Pokemon, Mothim has been in the game for some time, but not everyone knows how to get it. But don't worry, we got you covered.
Mothim, the Moth Pokemon introduced to the franchise during Generation 6, has been available in Pokemon GO for quite some time. However, not all are sure how to get the Burmy evolution.
So, here is how to get Mothim in the game.
How to get Mothim
The way to get this Pokemon is by evolving Burmy, the Bagworm Pokemon that can come in one of three cloaked forms. You simply need 50 Burmy Candies to pull off the evolution, but your chosen Burmy needs to be male. Otherwise, a female Burmy will evolve into Wormadam.
How to get Burmy Candies
The way to get Burmy Candies in order to get Mothim is by simply catching as many Burmys as possible until you have the required 50 x Burmy Candies. However, this means you'll need to find Burmy encounters on your map.
Thankfully, you'll be able to find plenty of Burmy during the Pokemon GO Festival of Colors event, which is currently running until Tuesday, 14 March 2023 at 8PM local time. Not only are Burmy appearing more frequently in the wild during this time, but you can also be rewarded with a potential Burmy encounter when completing Field Research tasks.
To get Mothim as quickly as possible, be also sure to use a Pinap Berry whenever you try to catch a Burmy - you'll get double Burmy Candies for each catch.
