Flamigo, the popular bird Pokémon from the recent Scarlet and Violet games, is now available in Pokémon GO! It might be tricky to find at first, but the game is increasing its appearance rate for a limited time to help players catch it.

Here is how you can catch Flamigo in Pokémon GO.

Catching Flamigo in Pokémon Go (Carnival of Flamigo)

Flamigo is now appearing regularly in Pokémon GO, and to celebrate, a special event called ‘Carnival of Flamigo’ is happening! During the event, completing challenges will increase your chances of finding and catching lots of Flamingo.

Pokémon GO’s Carnival of Flamigo dates:

  • February 3-8, 2026.

If you want to catch Flamigo, you’ll need to search for it in the wild. However, Flamigo is a rare Pokémon, so completing the Carnival of Flamigo’s challenges might be a faster way to add it to your team.

Catching Flamigo through Carnival of Flamigo challenges

Whenever a new Pokémon appears in Pokémon GO, the game usually makes it easier to find at first with special events and challenges. Flamigo’s arrival is following this pattern. During the Carnival of Flamigo event, players will have more opportunities to encounter this Gen 9 Pokémon through a series of challenges.

How to catch Flamigo through the Carnival of Flamigo event:

  • Complete the Carnival of Flamigo free Timed Research (2x Flamigo encounters).
  • Complete the premium Carnival of Flamigo research (2x Flamigo encounters).
  • Complete the Colors of Joy Collection Challenge (1x Flamigo encounter).

Flamigo is a strong Pokémon with a unique combination of bird and fighting abilities, but it doesn’t evolve into a different form.
