How to get Gogoat in Pokemon Go

Before you can add Gogoat to your collection, you’ll need to catch Skiddo. This Pokemon will only be available during the City Safari event this October and November. You’ll need to purchase a ticket to join in with the event. It’s worth noting that City Safari will only run in Barcelona, Mexico City, and Seoul. If you happen to be near one of those cities, you’re one of the lucky few with a chance of a Skiddo encounter.

Here is the full City Safari event schedule:

• Seoul: October 7 – October 8
• Barcelona: October 14 – October 15
• Mexico City: November 4 – November 5

Once you have a Skiddo, you can evolve it into Gogoat by feeding it 50 candies.

Niantic say that Skiddo and therefore Gogoat will “only appear during Pokemon Go City Safari 2023 events, but may appear worldwide at a later date.” So if you aren’t involved in City Safari, all hope isn’t lost.

Can you get a Shiny Gogoat in Pokemon Go?

A Shiny Skiddo will be available to catch during the City Safari event, so if you catch the rare variant, you’ll be able to evolve it into a Shiny Gogoat.

That’s all there is to know about how to obtain Gogoat in Pokemon Go.
