How to find Shiny Trubbish in Pokemon Go

Shiny Trubbish		Wild Spawn Raids
Shiny Garbodor		Evolve Shiny Trubbish

Wild Spawn

From April 20 to the 25th, Trubbish will be spawning across the map with a boosted rate. Trainers can use an Incense and drive or walk around the real world to increase their chances of finding a Shiny.

Using a lure at PokeStops and Gyms is also a great way to run into the Gen V’s characters rare variant. Users should also pay attention to the “Nearby” tab. If you see a silhouette of the ‘mon, go to the location as soon as possible as you never know – it could be the rare form.

Raids

Just like the wild spawns, Trubbish will start appearing in raids during the Sustainability Week. Make sure to not miss out on these guaranteed encounters which end on April 25th.

Even after the environmental celebration ends, Niantic will continue to rotate the Gen V ‘mon in and out of the PVE mode.

To get Garbodor, players need to catch a Shiny Trubbish and use 50 Candy to evolve it to its second evolution. Given that users will be catching a ton of the creature during the April event anyway, Candy should be easy to come by.

While the variant is easier to get during Sustainability Week, fans can still catch it in Pokemon Go once the celebration is over. The character tends to show up during Cloudy weather.
