Pokemon GO Raging Battle Event Details
As always during Pokemon GO events, there are several things that Pokemon Trainers can get out of the happening. There are Spawn Increases, New Pokemon that are being introduced which include Shiny variants, and Raids that they can team up on to defeat and capture. Make sure to catch 'em all in the Pokemon GO event featuring Annihilape.
For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Trainers, getting an Annihilape is a daunting task because it needs to evolve by utilizing a specific method. You will need to level up your Primeape to a specific level is the first thing to do but you will also need to learn the move Rage Fist and use it 20 times during a battle. After you have successfully done this, you will then need to level up your Primeape by another level to get Annihilape.
Now that Annihilape can be caught in Pokemon GO, you can just catch them in this game and have it ported over to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet via Pokemon HOME. This will make it a lot easier to complete your Pokedex in the game and get the certificate that you've always wanted.

There are a lot of Fighting-type Pokemon that will have an increased spawn rate from January 19 to January 24, 2024. Make sure to get the most out of the event by catching yourself some of the shiny variants that will be appearing.
