How to catch Lileep in Pokemon Go
The bizarre Rock/Grass-type Pokemon can be found in Pokemon Go, but how do you find this seafaring creature, and can it be Shiny?
Fossil Pokemon have always had a strange appearance, but Lileep and its evolution, Cradily, have always stood out from the rest. Since their debut in Gen 3, they have been among the most unusual-looking Pokemon in the series.
Just becausea Pokemon is weirddoesn’t mean fans don’t want to acquire them. These tentacle creatures can be found in Pokemon Go, but they’re not easy to get.
Lileep can be encountered in the wild inwater biomes. It spawns at a higher rate during partly cloudy and sunny/clear weather.
To evolve Lileep into Cradily, you require 50 Lileep Candy. There are no other requirements for this evolution. The easiest way to acquire Lileep Candy is by catching them in the wild after using a Pinap Berry orusing one as a Buddyand taking it on a walk.
