Ways to catch Drip Lapras & get encounters

There is no foolproof or set strategy for catching this form, though there are certain things you can do to increase your chances. So, let’s run through where it can be found, and what you can do to make things easier!

If you are looking to increase your chances of catching Lapras wearing a scarf in Pokemon Go, use the following tools at your disposal:

• Take advantage of the Event bonus: Rainy Lure Modules can be activated to attract wild Pokemon (Water-type) to PokeStops. These last up to 30 minutes at a time, increasing your chances of copping a Drip Lapras.
• Three-star Raids: Lapras wearing a scarf will be featured in Three-star Raids during the Water Festival.
• Activate Incense: It goes without saying, but the Incense can attract more Pokemon – Lapras included!
• Field Research task encounters: In rare cases, Drip Lapras will appear in Field Research task encounters.
• Pick the right Pokeball: We would recommend Ultra Balls for catching Lapras, but an Excellent Throw with a Great Ball should do the trick.
