Here is what you need to know about how to get Carnivine in Pokemon GO.
Carnivine is a Generation 4 Pokemon that does not evolve from or into anything at the time of writing. It resembles a Venus Fly-trap and has vines that allow it to hang from trees. According to the Pokedex, its mouth opens to 180 degrees and it takes a whole day to eat the prey that are attracted into the sharp teeth.
How to Get & Where to Find
The best and only way to find Carnivine in Pokemon GO is to catch it in the wild. Since it is a Grass type Pokemon, and part of this first wave of Gen 4 Pokemon GO, it will probably be pretty easy to find in most locations. It may be beneficial to head to places like parks, or any area with a good amount of foliage around, but Carnivine should pop up in most locations. Even in large urban areas.
Also, since Gen 4 is new to Pokemon GO, it’s likely that the spawns of the new Pokemon are increased to take advantage of the hype.
Finally, it’s not clear just yet whether Carnivine can be found in eggs. As soon as it is known, either way, if Gen 4 Pokemon can hatch from eggs in Pokemon GO, we’ll be sure to let you know here.
Update: It seems as it Carnivine is one of Gen 4’s regional exclusives. According to Eurogamer, it seems to be spawning exclusively in the marshy areas in the south east of the US. We will be sure to update you if that area expands.
