The Mossy Lure Module in Pokémon GO adds a touch of nature to your gameplay, offering a unique way to encounter and evolve certain Pokémon. This guide delves into everything you need to know about the Mossy Lure, focusing on which Pokémon evolve with it and how to maximize its effectiveness. We'll also address some common player questions.
What Pokémon Evolve with a Mossy Lure?
The Mossy Lure Module is specifically designed to help you evolve Pokémon that are typically found in grassy or wooded environments. Currently, only a select few Pokémon benefit from its effects:
- Lickitung: Evolves into Lickilicky when exposed to 100 Lickitung Candy and the Mossy Lure Module's influence.
- Yanma: Evolves into Yanmega when exposed to 100 Yanma Candy and the Mossy Lure Module's influence.
- Barboach: Evolves into Whiscash when exposed to 100 Barboach Candy and the Mossy Lure Module's influence.
- Gible: Evolves into Gabite when exposed to 25 Gible Candy and Gabite to Garchomp when exposed to 100 Gabite candy. These evolutions do not require a Mossy Lure.
It's crucial to note that simply placing the Mossy Lure Module at a PokéStop won't automatically evolve your Pokémon. You still need the necessary Candy, and the Pokémon must be in your party while the Mossy Lure is active at the PokéStop.
How to Use a Mossy Lure Module Effectively?
To maximize the benefits of the Mossy Lure Module:
-
Choose a strategic location: Place the Mossy Lure Module at a PokéStop that's convenient for you to access and remains active for a sufficient duration. Parks and areas with high foot traffic often yield better results.
-
Have your target Pokémon ready: Ensure the Pokémon you wish to evolve (Lickitung, Yanma, or Barboach) are already in your Pokémon storage and have the required Candy. Remember, you must have the Pokémon in your active party while the Mossy Lure is active.
-
Time your evolution: The Mossy Lure Module lasts for 30 minutes. Use this time effectively and only attempt evolution during this window.
-
Be aware of other Lure Module effects: Remember that Mossy Lures do not increase the spawn rate of the Pokémon you need to evolve. They only act as a catalyst for evolution.
Where Can I Get a Mossy Lure Module?
Mossy Lure Modules are obtainable through various in-game activities and events. They are sometimes included in special bundles available in the in-game shop. It’s important to keep an eye out for special events which may feature them as a reward. Keeping an active lookout in the in-game news section will alert you to any opportunities to obtain them.
Does the Mossy Lure Module Increase the Spawn Rate of Specific Pokémon?
No, the Mossy Lure Module does not increase the spawn rate of any Pokémon. Its primary function is to facilitate the evolution of specific Pokémon species that require it as a catalyst. It simply helps to trigger the evolution process for those specific creatures.
Can I Use a Mossy Lure Module on Any Pokémon?
No, the Mossy Lure Module only works for a select number of Pokémon. These are currently Lickitung, Yanma, and Barboach. Attempting to use it on any other Pokémon will not trigger an evolution.
What if I don't have enough Candy for the evolution?
If you don't have enough Candy for the evolution before the Mossy Lure Module expires, you won't be able to evolve your Pokémon. Make sure you have the required amount of Candy before activating the Lure. Remember to catch as many of the Pokémon needed as possible to increase your Candy count.
This comprehensive guide provides detailed information on utilizing the Mossy Lure Module effectively in Pokémon GO. Remember to keep your eyes peeled for updates and new Pokémon that might require this specialized Lure for evolution in the future. Happy evolving!
