(Image via Pokemon TCG Artes) The Bug/Fairy adorable Pokemon Cutiefly along with the shiny variant of it, has been fluttering around Pokémon GO since 2023. But to snag it is not that easy. It requires proper strategy and patience. While Cutiefly's evolution, Ribombee , now stars in the raids, the trainers must rely upon the specific methods for adding the Alolan native to their collection. Here is what you need to know on how to track both the forms of the Pokemon to complete your collection or just enjoy the hunt. How to catch Cutiefly and its Shiny variant in Pokemon Go? Currently, the best shot of getting a Cutiefly is in the wilds—they only spawn there, making it the target for persistent hunters. Focus on the areas with frequent Fairy-type activity or Bug-type activity, like the gardens or the parks. Also, use the Lure Modules or Incense to boost the spawn rates, and watch Nearby Tracker for the silhouette. Unlike in the past, the Pokémon no longer hatches from the eggs or appears in the raids. So, the wild encounters are the sole options for getting a Cutiefly. A shiny version of Cutiefly was released in January 2024. It has subtle pink accents on the head. The shiny odds are standard. So, tap every Cutiefly you can find. There's no trick for the boost rates, but grinding during the events with the increased spawns helps to improve the chances. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Complete protection with iPru All-in-one Term Plan ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo Note : Cutiefly is resistant to bug, fighting, dragon, ground, dark, and grass attacks, and its weaknesses are fire, steel, rock, poison, and flying attacks.
