Pokemon GO developers at Niantic have debuted Cetoddle and Cetitan during the Winter Holiday 2023 event. Event participants can dab into several in-game content, including multiple Research tasks, raid opportunities, wild spawns, Egg hatches, and more. Along with the debut of Cetodle and Cetitan, one can also catch Holiday Attire Pikachu and Holiday Attire Raichu for the first time.

Starting from the Winter Holiday 2023 event on December 18, 2023, one can get their hands on the Terra Whale Pokemon, Cetoddle and Cetitan in Pokemon GO. There are multiple ways to get Cetoddle: as a wild spawn, raid encounter, and more. Many players also wonder if they can get a Shiny Cetoddle and Shiny Cetitan, making their Shiny variants extremely sought-after. That said, this guide details the different ways to get Cetoddle and Cetitan and explores their Shiny availability.

How to get Cetoddle In Pokemon GO

Cetoddle is a solo Ice-type Pokemon originating from the Paldea region. It has a maximum Pokemon GO Combat Power (CP) of 1469, and its stat spread comprises 119 ATK, 80 DEF, and 239 STA.

Pokemon GO: Get Cetoddle Through Wild Encounters

Cetoddle is a wild spawn, and its spawn rate increases during events featuring the monster. The increased spawn rate can boost even more using multiple Pokemon GO items. Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost function can significantly increase a monster’s spawn rate.

Cetoddle experiences a Weather Boost around snowy areas. Players can use it to their advantage and locate a PokeStop or Gym in snowy weather, attach a Lure Module to it, and activate an Incense. After doing so, players must walk around that area to experience the increased Pokemon spawn rate. This method will stack all the in-game elements’ effects and significantly increase Cetoddle’s spawn rate, especially during featured events.

Pokemon GO: Get Cetoddle Through 1-Star Raids

Cetoddle is a solo Ice-type Pokemon and a 1-star raid boss in Pokemon GO. Since the raid boss is an average fighter, players with proper counters can attend the Cetoddle raid solo. Those who win the 1-star raid can encounter a Cetoddle somewhere nearby.

Can Cetoddle And Cetitan Be Shiny In Pokemon GO

While one can get a Cetoddle and Cetitan in Pokemon GO, Shiny collectors wonder if they can catch the Shiny variants. Niantic usually debuts the Standard and Shiny variants of a Pokemon on different events and dates, and the same is true with Cetoddle. Although Cetoddle and Cetitan have debuted, Shiny Cetoddle and Shiny Cetitan have yet to be released. That being the case, the Shiny variants may debut sometime in future events.
