How to Get Corsola in Pokemon GO

Normally, Corsola can only be found in the wild in Pokemon GO in “tropical regions”—regions close to the equator. In these areas, Corsola appears more commonly along the coast and becomes more rare the further inland you go.

Players who can’t visit these locations can only obtain Corsola by trading for it from other players or by participating in events that feature Corsola, when it is made available for a limited time.

Pokemon GO Events Featuring Corsola

The following lists go over each Pokemon GO event that has featured Corsola or otherwise made it available to obtain outside of its usual habitats in some way.

Pokemon GO Fest: Global 2024

Pokemon GO Fest: Global 2024 is the most recent event to make Corsola available in the wild across the world. On July 13 and 14, 2024, Corsola has a chance to be encountered in the wild under the following circumstances:

  • It is the Shining Day habitat,
  • The player is using Incense (not Daily Adventure Incense),
  • And the player has obtained the Pokemon GO Fest: Global ticket from the in-game store.

Corsola in the Wild During Pokemon GO Events

Corsola was available in the wild during the following Pokemon GO events:

  • Water Festival 2018: June 7 – 21, 2018
  • Safari Zone Dortmund: July 3 – 4, 2018
  • Adventure Week 2019: June 4 – 11, 2019

Corsola From Eggs in Pokemon GO

Corsola could hatch from 5 km Eggs in Pokemon GO from September 26, 2019 to June 12, 2021.

Corsola in Raid Battles During Pokemon GO Events

Corsola could be challenged and subsequently captured in tier 3 raids during Pokemon GO Tour: Johto on February 26, 2022.

Corsola in Photobombs During Pokemon GO Events

Corsola appeared in photobombs during the Safari Zone New Taipei City and Safari Zone Singapore events in Pokemon GO.

Corsola may be one of the toughest Pokemon for many players to obtain in Pokemon GO. Hopefully, more free events will make it available during the Shared Skies season.
