Squawkabilly Debuts in Pokémon Go With 4 Variants, 2 Locked to Opposite Hemispheres

2 articles · Updated · Eurogamer.net · Jun 23

Summary

  • Squawkabilly has arrived in Pokémon Go through the Flying Taxi event, with all 4 color forms now available and Yellow and White spawning worldwide.
  • Blue is tied to the Western Hemisphere and Green to the Eastern Hemisphere, making a full set impossible to catch solo unless players trade or travel.
  • Players can find Squawkabilly in the wild or through Flying Taxi field research tasks for catching 5, 10 or 15 Flying-type Pokémon, with wild spawns described as common during the event.
  • Shiny Squawkabilly is not yet available, and its post-event spawn rate remains unknown, giving players added reason to register at least 1 before Flying Taxi ends on June 29.
