How to catch Bergmite in Pokemon Go

There is one main way you can catch Bergmite during the Ice Catch Mastery event:

• As an encounter in the wild

Bergmite is classed as a rare spawn in the wild, so you’ll have to walk around a lot to find one. The best way to improve your chances is to use a Glacial Lure Module, as they attract Ice-type Pokemon.

Fortunately, the Ice Catch Mastery event has increased the odds of encountering Bergmite and Snorunt in the wild.

Can Bergmite be Shiny in Pokemon Go?

The good news is that Shiny Bergmite is currently available in Pokemon Go. You can also obtain a Shiny version of its evolution Avalugg.

How to evolve Bergmite into Avalugg in Pokemon Go

Evolving Bergmite into Avalugg is relatively easy in Pokemon Go, as you’ll just need to collect 50 Candy and no special items are required. Simply catch (and transfer) as many as you can.

Once you’ve collected enough Candy, head to your Pokemon collection and choose your favorite Bergmite – taking their stats into account – then tap on the ‘Evolve’ button and watch the animation.
