Komala, a Normal-type Pokémon from Generation 7, has made its way into Pokémon GO.
This guide will walk you through the steps to capture this elusive Pokémon, its strengths and weaknesses, and tips to maximize your chances of adding Komala to your Pokédex.
When and Where to Find Komala
Komala first appeared in Pokémon GO during the “Catching Some Z’s” event, which took place from July 15th to July 16th, 2023.
If you missed this event, don’t worry. Komala will also be available during the upcoming “Slumbering Sands” event in June 2024.
These events are the best opportunities to catch Komala due to increased spawn rates and special research tasks.
Outside of these events, Komala can still be found in the wild, albeit with low spawn chances.
To increase your odds, consider using Incense or a Lure Module to attract more Pokémon to your location.
Additionally, Komala is more likely to appear on cloudy days, so keep an eye on the in-game weather conditions.
How to Get Komala in Pokemon Go?
When you encounter a Komala, using a Razz Berry can significantly increase your chances of a successful capture.
This item makes the Pokémon easier to catch, reducing the likelihood of it escaping. Make sure to have a good supply of Ultra Balls as well, to further improve your chances.
One of the most effective ways to catch a shiny Komala is by participating in the Slumbering Sands Timed Research during the event.
Completing these research tasks will not only give you more encounters with Komala but also increase your chances of finding a shiny variant.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Komala is a pure Normal-type Pokémon, which means it has specific strengths and weaknesses. It is resistant to Ghost-type moves, making it a good choice against Ghost-type Pokémon.
However, it is weak against Fighting-type moves, so be cautious when facing Fighting-type opponents.
While Komala cannot evolve in Pokémon GO, it comes with a unique set of moves that can be useful in battles. Make sure to familiarize yourself with its moveset to make the most out of this Pokémon in your team.
