Shadow Exeggcute is one of the more challenging Pokemon to find in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how to find it for the Spring Collection challenge. Pokemon Go is currently hosting its Spring Into Spring 2021 challenge. This Timed Research Task requires players to capture Pokemon that are themed around Spring and Easter. Whether it be that the Pokemon have pointy ears, wear flower crowns, or are literal eggs. While some of these Pokemon can be encounter naturally in the wild, a handful of Pokemon is a bit trickier to encounter. This guide will show players how they can find and capture a Shadow Exeggcute.
Shadow Pokemon have been in Pokemon Go for a few years now. As it goes, players can travel to strangely colored PokeStops and battle a Team Go Rocket Grunt. Defeat enough of them to collect a radar to battle one of Team Rocket's admins. These battles can be challenging, but the rewards are fairly solid, providing players with high-CP Pokemon and the chance to hatch a 12km egg. All Shadow Pokemon have been linked to Team Rocket so it makes sense for this to be the method to find Shadow Exeggcute. Although, it can be quite time-consuming to find out which specific grunt you'll need to battle. This guide will show players how they can find Shadow Exeggcute.
How To Find (& Catch) Shadow Exeggcute in Pokemon Go (Spring Collection)
As mentioned, players will need to defeat a Team Rocket grunt in order to encounter Shadow Exeggcute. Although, there are only 2 types of Rocket grunts that will potentially have it. Since Exeggcute is a Grass/Psychic-type Pokemon, it has 2 chances to appear for a Grass or Psychic-type grunt. The grunt will give a corny line before the battle starts to indicate what type of Pokemon it has. To save a bit of time, here are the quotes each of them will say.
- Grass: Don't tangle with us!
- Psychic: Are you scared of psychics with unseen power?
Once the player finds them, all they have to do is beat them in battle. The Shadow Exeggcute should be the grunt's first Pokemon. If not, continue to battle any way to clear this grunt out of the way. Once the battle is over, they will have the chance to capture it. Make sure to use a Razz Berry to increase the capture rate. Now the player is one step closer to completing the Spring into Spring collection challenge.
