After the 2023 Halloween event in Pokemon Go, players can get a new Pokemon - Houndstone. This undead dog is an evolution of another rare Pokemon that gamers could only get during Researches and Three Star Raids in the Halloween event. In this guide, readers will find all the details about evolution to get Houndstone in Pokemon GO, as well as what items are needed for this.
Pokemon GO: How to Get Houndstone
To get a Houndstone in Pokemon GO, players need to evolve Greavard, which debuted in 2023's Halloween Part 1 event. Gamers could get this Pokemon as a reward for completing Halloween and Eerie Echoes Timed Researches, as well as for participating in Three Star Raids, or if they waited until the second part of the Halloween event, where Greavard appeared in Field Research.
Due to the event-specific nature of this Pokemon, players could only get it during the Halloween event, which lasted until October 31. At the moment, Greavard is not available to obtain in the game, and it will most likely appear in the next Halloween event in 2024.
However, if players have managed to catch Greavard and have it in their collection, they have the opportunity to evolve it into a much cooler Pokemon - Houndstone. This evolution requires 50 Greavard Candy, which gamers could get for finding Greavard in three-star raids or by performing a Nice, Great, or Excellent Throw mixed with a regular or Silver Pinap Berry to catch this Pokemon. Currently, players can get these candies in Pokemon GO by having a Greavard as a Buddy Pokemon. And if they still don't have enough Greavard Candy, they can exchange their Rare Candy to get the required amount.
If players are short on Rare Candy, they can receive it as a reward for defeating a Raid Boss or winning a Battle League, as well as for completing some Research tasks.
After players have collected 50 Greavard Candy using the above guidelines, they can easily evolve Greavard into Houndstone. This evolution looks very cool, thanks to the tombstone on the dog's head, and also has a very nice coloring on its back.
