How to get Hawlucha in Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO has finally seen the introduction of Hawlucha, the bird-like Wrestling Pokemon hailing from the Kalos region. This Fighting and Flying-type first appeared in Pokemon X and Y during Generation 6. Of course, players are now wondering not only how to get it, but if a Shiny Hawlucha can be caught as well. Here is all you need to know in this Hawlucha Pokemon GO guide. 

How to get Hawlucha & can it be Shiny?

How can you get Hawlucha?

The Hawlucha Pokemon GO debut made the Pokemon available in the game as of 1 March. However, Hawlucha is currently a Mexico exclusive. 

Sadly, this means if you're anywhere else in the world other than Mexico, Hawlucha won't be available to you in Pokemon GO for now. If you want to get Hawlucha in Pokemon GO if you're in another country like the US or UK, you'll either have to literally go to Mexico yourself or get a friend there to trade one with you. 

It's very likely there will be a global Hawlucha Pokemon GO release further down the line, as has happened with regional exclusives in the past. In the meantime, we'll just have to wait.

Unfortunately, there is currently no Shiny Hawlucha in Pokemon GO. After being introduced into the game, Pokemon GO additions usually won't have their Shiny versions introduced until being featured in major events like Community Days.
