How to get Scorbunny and evolutions Raboot and Cinderace in Pokémon Go

Scorbunny and its evolutions, Raboot and Cinderace, have made their way into Pokémon Go during the exciting Max Out Season. As a Fire-type starter Pokémon from Gen 8, Scorbunny boasts a sporty flair, particularly with its final evolution, Cinderace, which can kick fiery projectiles like a soccer ball. After a long wait of four years, Scorbunny is finally available for trainers to catch!

To help you on your journey, this article explores how to obtain Scorbunny in Pokémon Go, as well as how to evolve Scorbunny into Raboot and Cinderace.

How to get Scorbunny in Pokémon Go

Scorbunny made its debut during the GO All Out event in September 2024. Here are the different ways you can encounter Scorbunny during this event:

• In the wild
• Hatch from 5km eggs
• Event-exclusive field research tasks: Catch 8 Pokémon
• Select ‘Adventure With Scorbunny’ during the Galar Calling quest

It’s important to note a key point regarding the Galar Calling quest: you must select the ‘Adventure With Scorbunny’ path to guarantee a Scorbunny encounter. If you choose a different path, you will miss out on this opportunity and will need to find Scorbunny through other means.

During the GO All Out event, Scorbunny has increased spawn rates in the wild, making it easier to catch. However, starter Pokémon can be tricky to capture, so be prepared to use plenty of Poké Balls and berries to increase your chances.

If you prefer completing field research tasks, remember that the rewards are shared with Grookey and Sobble, so it may take several attempts to encounter Scorbunny. Field research tasks change daily, so you may want to connect with local players to find the tasks you need.

Hatching Scorbunny from a 5km egg is another option, but it’s recommended only if you have plenty of incubators. Scorbunny shares the 5km egg pool with other Pokémon, so it may take some time to hatch one. Nevertheless, hatching will grant you Scorbunny candy, which is beneficial for evolving it.

To ensure Scorbunny is registered in your Pokédex, it’s advisable to catch at least one during the event. While it may remain in the 5km egg pool after the event, its spawn rate is uncertain, so catching it now is a smart move.

How to get Scorbunny evolutions Raboot and Cinderace in Pokémon Go

To evolve Scorbunny into Raboot, you will need 25 Scorbunny Candy. After that, evolving Raboot into Cinderace will require an additional 100 Scorbunny Candy. In total, you will need 125 Scorbunny Candy to complete this evolution line.

You can maximize the candy you earn from catching Scorbunny by utilizing Pinap Berries or by having Scorbunny as your buddy Pokémon. Additionally, consider transferring any extra Scorbunny you catch for some bonus candy, as these small amounts can accumulate over time.

By selecting the Scorbunny route in the Galar Calling quest, you can earn enough candy to fully evolve one Scorbunny into a Cinderace. Choose the Scorbunny you evolve wisely to ensure you get a Cinderace with good IV levels, completing both your Pokédex entries and enhancing your team.

Good luck with your Pokémon-catching adventure in Pokémon Go!
