How to get Trubbish in Pokemon Go
Trubbish was originally introduced into the game with the release of Trade Evolutions in 2020, and since then players have been able to catch it through different methods. Currently, these are the ones that work:
- As a wild spawn.
- As a hatch from 2 km Eggs (during Sustainability Week only).
- As a reward for completing a Field Research Task from the Sustainability Week event.
The Sustainability Week event will run from Monday, April 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM, until Friday, April 26, 2024, at 8:00 PM local time and it will feature plenty of Pokemon, including Trubbish, Foongus, Combee, Drilbur, and more.
Previously, Trubbish hatched from 5 km and 12 km Eggs, and appeared as a Tier 1 Raid Boss, as well as a reward from Field Research Tasks like “Catch 3 Gimer: Sustainability Week 2022” or Special/Timed Research Tasks such as “A Drive to Investigate – Part 1”.

To evolve Trubbish into Garbodor in Pokemon Go, you’ll have to feed it 50 Trubbish Candies.
Given that users will probably be catching a ton of the Trubbish during the event anyway, Candy should be easy to come by. Plus, it’s always useful to use Pinap Berries to duplicate the candies you get per catch.
Can Trubbish be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Yes, Trubbish can be Shiny in Pokemon Go as this special variant was added to the game during the 2021 Sustainability Week.
Remember that spotting one of these special variants is not easy, as there’s no particular method to trigger a Shiny encounter. Luckily, Shiny Trubbish will have a higher chance of appearing if hatched from 2 km Eggs during the event, so you better get your shoes ready.
