Pokemon GO Binacle Guide: How to Catch, Evolve, and Find Shiny Binacle

Binacle, the Rock and Water-type Pokemon from the Kalos region, has been a part of Pokemon GO since its debut during the Sustainability Week event. This guide will provide an overview of how to obtain Binacle, evolve it into Barbaracle, and find its elusive Shiny form.

How to Catch Binacle in Pokemon GO

There are several ways to encounter and catch Binacle in Pokemon GO:

1. Wild Encounters: Binacle can appear in the wild, especially during events like Sustainability Week. It is more likely to spawn in areas with partly cloudy or rainy weather.
2. Raid Battles: Binacle may appear as a Raid Boss in 1-star Raids. Defeating the Raid Boss will provide an opportunity to catch Binacle.
3. Eggs: Binacle can be hatched from 2 km and 7 km Eggs, depending on the current egg pool rotation.
4. Field Research Tasks: Completing certain Field Research Tasks may reward players with a Binacle encounter.

To increase the chances of encountering Binacle, players can use items like Incense and Lure Modules, which boost the spawn rate of Pokemon in the surrounding area.

Evolving Binacle into Barbaracle

To evolve Binacle into its evolved form, Barbaracle, players need to gather 50 Binacle Candy. Candy can be obtained by catching Binacle, hatching Binacle from Eggs, or using Rare Candy. Once the required amount of Candy is collected, players can select the "Evolve" button on Binacle's profile to transform it into Barbaracle.

Shiny Binacle is available in Pokemon GO. Shiny Pokemon are rare variants with alternate color schemes. The chances of encountering a Shiny Binacle are low, but there are ways to improve the odds:

1. Participate in events that feature increased Shiny rates for Binacle, such as the Sustainability Week event.
2. Engage in Raid Battles and complete Field Research Tasks that offer Binacle encounters, as these have a higher Shiny rate compared to wild encounters.
3. Hatch Eggs that can potentially contain Binacle, as Egg hatches also have a slightly higher Shiny rate.

It is important to note that Shiny encounters are determined at random, and there is no guaranteed method to obtain a Shiny Binacle.
