How to get Cutiefly in Pokémon Go

Cutiefly and Ribombee, its evolution, made their first appearance in Pokémon Go on Tuesday, 4th February at the beginning of the Spring into Spring 2023 event.

Here’s how to catch Cutiefly during the Spring into Spring event:

• In the wild - Appearing more frequently during the Spring into Spring event.
• In one-star raids - During the Spring into Spring event.
• 2km eggs - In the egg pool for 2km eggs collected during the Spring into Spring event.

The easiest way to find Cutiefly during the Spring into Spring event is to encounter it in the wild. Remember to check your Poké Radar in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen to see if Cutiefly is hanging out at a nearby PokéStop or try using Incense to force its spawn.

If you’re having trouble finding Cutiefly, however, we recommend defeating it in a raid. Since Cutiefly is a one-star raid Pokémon, you shouldn’t have any problems defeating it by yourself. Just make sure you’ve chosen the right counters, which we have some advice on further along!

When it comes to 2km eggs, it’s important to remember that Cutiefly is sharing the egg pool with seven other Pokémon. This means that, while the reduced hatch distance bonus for eggs placed in Incubators during the Spring into Spring events makes hatching eggs easier, you may not get the Cutiefly you need. You also need to ensure the egg has the correct pool, because Cutiefly is only hatchable from 2km eggs collected during the event.

We highly recommend catching Cutiefly during the Spring into Spring 2023 event, because, at the time of writing, we don’t know what its spawn rate will be once the event ends. There’s a chance that, like other recently released Pokémon, it will be hard to find after the event ends, so it’s worth adding to your Pokédex when you have the chance.

How to evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee in Pokémon Go

To evolve Cutiefly into Ribombee in Pokémon Go, you need to collect 50 Cutiefly Candy. There are no other requirements for this evolution, so, after you’ve gathered enough candy, you’re free to evolve whichever Cutiefly you wish.

If you’re focusing on finding Cutiefly in the wild, then we recommend using a Pinap Berry when attempting to catch it to double your catch candy. You can also do this if you successfully defeat Cutiefly in a one-star raid.

It’s also a good idea to hatch any 2km eggs you collect during the Spring into Spring event. Since Cutiefly is included in this egg pool, you can receive double Cutiefly candy if you hatch a little bee from one of these eggs. The halved hatch distance bonus for any egg placed in an Incubator throughout the Spring into Spring event means you easily hatch a good amount of 2km eggs during this event.

Finally, you can always place a Cutiefly as your buddy Pokémon and gradually earn candy from them as you walk about playing Pokémon Go.
