Girafarig returns in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, and it even has a new evolution. Here is how to get the giraffe Pokemon of Paldea and evolve it into Farigiraf.
Introduced in Gen 3, Girafarig has amassed quite a cult following. While it isn’t as popular as Charizard, Pikachu, or even the pseudo-Legendaries, its rarity in the early generations of Pokemon gave it a special status in the community.
Now, 20 years later, this giraffe is making another appearance in a mainline Pokemon game. But not just by itself: Girafarig has been given a new evolution by the name of Farigiraf.
This guide will show players where they can find Girafarig in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, as well as how they can evolve it into its brand-new form.

Despite the hype for its return, Girafarig only appears on a small portion of the map of Paldea. Players can find Girafarig in West Province (Area Two) just north of the Asada Desert. It’s located in grassy fields.

Players can find Farigiraf in the wild once they reach Area Zero. It will stick to the mysterious area’s grassy cliffs.
