How to Get Binnacle Pokemon Go in the Latest Pokémon Go Event

Binacle Pokemon Go is the headlining Pokémon for Sustainability Week – the current in-game event for Pokémon Go.

With the arrival of Binacle, you’ll also be able to add it’s evolution, Barbaracle, to your Gen 6 Pokédex.

Binacle will be spawning in the wild throughout Sustainability Week, but, if you’re having trouble finding one, then it will be making an appearance in raids and as a research task reward.

Get Binacle Pokemon Go in the Latest Pokémon Go Event

Binacle, along with its evolution Barbaracle, are the latest Gen 6 Pokémon to debut in Pokémon Go and their release is part of the Sustainability Week event.

While Binacle is available in the wild, they may, like previous Gen 6 Pokémon, be rather hard to find. Thankfully, there are a number of other ways to catch a Binacle during the event.

You can find Binacle during Sustainability Week event by:

Finding them in the wild
One-star raids
Completing the field research task – ‘Use 3 Golden Razz Berries to help catch Pokémon
Completing the ‘Use an Incense’ challenge in the third step of the Sustainability Week timed research quest

If you’re having trouble finding Binacle in the wild, then your best chance of catching one is to either defeat it in a raid or complete the Sustainability Week timed research quest.

While Binacle will most likely continue to make appearances after the event ends, the distribution of new Pokémon continues to be hard to predict. For this reason, we highly suggest catching at least Binacle during Sustainability Week; this way you can have it as your Buddy and collect enough candy to evolve it into Barbaracle.
