Both Darumaka and its Galarian form are part of the Pokemon Go universe, but how do you get these creatures, and most importantly, can they be shiny? Here’s all you need to know.
If you’re looking to add this Pokemon to your Pokedex, here’s all you need to know to catch them and evolve them, as well as whether or not they can be Shiny in thegame.
How to get Darumaka in Pokemon Go
There are plenty of ways players can catch Darumaka in the game:
During Ultra Unlock: Better Together, regular and Galarian Darumaka can be obtained by completing Field Research tasks.
Opposite to its standard form, Galarian Darumaka is harder to find in the game as it doesn’t spawn in the wild:
Galarian Darumaka will also be available as a Field Research Task reward during Ultra Unlock: Better Together.
Both Darumaka and Galarian Darumaka can evolve to their respective Darmanitan formswith the help of 50 Candy.
There are no special items or Buddy tasks required for this evolution, which makes the process relatively easy once you have the proper candy amount.
While Shiny spawns are generally low for any creature, because of how hard it is to find a Galarian Darumaka, it will be even harder to find its Shiny version in the game.
If you want to get a Shiny Darmanitan, you just need to evolve your Shiny Darumaka or Shiny Galarian Darumaka.
