Poipole and Naganadel have finally arrived in Pokemon Go, but how can players go about encountering the Poison-type Ultra Beasts and are their Shiny forms available in the game?
In Pokemon, the Ultra Beasts are practically Lovecraftian entities, being invasive species from another dimension with unsettling alien designs.
This isn’t true of Poipole, who is the cutest and most Pokemon-like of the Ultra Beasts. In fact, Ash used one (as well as its evolution) on the team that led to his first championship win when he came out on top in the Alola region.
After being absent from the game for a long time, Poipole is finally part of Pokemon Go. So those who want to find the elusive Ultra Beast are fortunate, as it’s not hard to track it down, as it can be found as part of a simple research task, with an evolution that’s coming to the game soon.
