Previously, the tiny scorpion was part of the 5 km, 10 km, and 12 km Eggs, as well as a Tier 1 Raid boss. Additionally, players were given a Skorupi encounter as a reward for completing Field Research Tasks like “Catch 5 Bug-type Pokemon”.
Skorupi has only one evolution, and the process is very simple and linear, as there are no special requirements, items, or Buddy tasks.
To evolve Skorupi into Drapion, you just need tofeed it 50 Candy, and it will turn into Drapion.
If you’re low on Candy, use Pinap Berries when catching this Pokemon, so you’ll earn double. Additionally, you can transfer your extra Skorupi to Professor Willow or put it as your Buddy.
Remember that there’s no special method to secure a Shiny Pokemon encounter in the game and that their chances of appearing are very, very low.
