Silicobra is a Ground-type Pokemon that was first introduced in the Generation 8 series. Now it makes its debut in Pokemon Go for a limited time, which means it can be very hard to spot one. However, the odds are slightly boosted during the ongoing event. So, if you’re looking to get Silicobra in Pokemon GO, here’s all you need to know.
How to Catch Silicobra in Pokemon GO
Silicobra can be obtained during the ‘Sustainability Week 2026’ Pokemon GO event. The only way to get it is by encountering and catching the Pokemon from wild spawns.
The Sustainability Week 2026 runs from April 14 to April 20. This means players have almost a week to encounter Silicobra as a very rare spawn in the wild. The spawn rate for Silicobra will also be boosted, making the event your best chance to hunt one. Make sure to stock up on various berries, Poke Balls, and even buy Incenses using PokeCoins. Additionally, you can even follow Pokemon GO routes and hope to encounter one alongside some other spawns.
If you don’t want to hunt Silicobra by yourself, then consider asking your friends to trade one with you. If you don’t know about trading in Pokemon GO, then we have a guide that will help you out. Unfortunately, you cannot obtain Silcobra as a raid boss, and you cannot get it from Pokemon GO raids.
Is There a Shiny Silicobra Available?
As of now, shiny Silicobra have not been released in Pokemon GO.
We speculate that the shiny version might be added during an event featuring Ground-type Pokemon, or a major event like GO Tour or GO Fest.
Can Silicobra Evolve in Pokemon GO?
Yes, Silicobra can evolve into Sandaconda using 50 Silicobra candy in Pokemon GO. To get plenty of candy, make sure to catch every Pokemon you encounter, while using a Pinap or Silver Pinap berry on them.
Pokemon GO Silicobra Trading Cost
As discussed, Silicobra can also be obtained by trading it with other players. You can get friends by using Pokemon GO Friend Codes and adding them to the game. There are various ways to get friend codes, and we have listed them all in our guide.
Once you have a friend added in the game, we recommend that you interact with the person for a few days before trading. That’s because the trading cost is higher for new friendships and requires a lot of stardust. That said, here’s a detailed trading cost requirement:
| Good Friends | 100 | 20000 |
| Great Friends | 100 | 16000 |
| Ultra Friends | 100 | 1600 |
| Best Friends | 100 | 800 |
| Forever Friends | 100 | 800 |
