How to get Vullaby in Pokemon Go
There are plenty of bird Pokemon in the hit mobile game Pokemon Go, and while you can catch Pidgey just about everywhere, there are a few elusive avian creatures you will struggle to find.
An adorable vulture Pokemon, Vullaby was introduced to the Pokemon franchise in Gen 5 as Rufflet’s counterpart. Although this small bird poses no threat, its evolution Mandibuzz is fairly impressive in both Pokemon GoGreatandUltra League.
While Vullaby is normally quite rare inPokemon Go, mostly appearing only inEggs, it is seeing a resurgence thanks to the latest Pokemon Go Legendary Heroes event. So, it’s easier than ever to add this beloved bird to your Pokemon collection. So, let us show you how.
At the time of writing, Vullaby is one of theTimed research encountersplayers can earn during theLegendary Heroes event. However, players are given the choice of either theSword or Shield path, and they must choose Shield to get an encounter with Vullaby.
Choosing Sword means that players instead get anencounter with Rufflet.
Once the event is over, players will only be able to get Vullaby as a hatch from 12 km Eggs.
The evolution process for Vullaby is quite simple, as it only has one stage, and it doesn’t need any special items, requirements, or Buddy tasks.
To evolve Vullaby into Mandibuzz, players need to feed it 50 Candy.
Due to how tedious it is to get Vullaby regularly, players should take advantage of the event and catch as many as they can. Remember that you can duplicate your Candy with Pinap Berries.
The differences between regular and Shiny are not too distinctive, as the only change is the color saturation. However, it can be really appreciated once you evolve Shiny Vullaby into Shiny Mandibuzz, as even its chest fur will change.
That’s everything you need to know about Vullaby, its evolution, and the Shiny version in Pokemon Go. For more game content on the latest events, check out our guides onPokemon Go Community Day,Spotlight Hour, and catch up on theMax Out season.
