How to get Bruxish in Pokémon Go

How to get Bruxish in Pokémon Go

Bruxish made its first appearance in Pokémon Go on Wednesday, 8th March as part of the Festival of Colors 2023 event.

Here’s how you can catch Bruxish during the Festival of Colors event:

• In the wild - Appearing more frequently during the Festival of Colors
• In one-star raids - During the Festival of Colors

As you can see from the methods listed above, the easiest way to catch a Bruxish in Pokémon Go is to find one in the wild. Using Incense will help increase your chances of encountering a Bruxish, while the Poké Radar - in the bottom right-hand corner - will tell you if one is appearing at a nearby PokéStop.

Remember - Bruxish doesn’t evolve, so, if you simply want to add it to your Pokédex, then you only need to catch one. At the time of writing, Bruxish’s shiny form has not been released into Pokémon Go either.

If you’re having trouble finding a Bruxish, then it’s a good idea to defeat one in a raid. Since Bruxish is a one-star raid Pokémon, you should be able to easily defeat it all by yourself. Just make sure your team contains counters which take advantage of Bruxish’s weaknesses and, if you’d like some examples, read the next section.

We highly recommend catching Bruxish during the 2023 Festival of Colors, because, at the time of writing, we don’t know what its spawn rate will be once the event ends. There’s a chance that, like other recently released Pokémon, it will be hard to find, so it’s worth adding it to your Pokédex while you have the chance.

Bruxish moveset in Pokémon Go

When it comes to Bruxish’s moveset in Pokémon Go, we recommend either Confusion or Water Gun as Fast Moves and Psychic Fangs or Aqua Tail as Charged Moves. The exact moves you choose depend on whether you want Bruxish to focus upon water or psychic-type moves, or wish to have a mixture of attacks.

Sadly, it’s important to note that Bruxish doesn’t appear to hold much weight in any form of Pokémon Go PVP, so, after you’ve caught it for the Pokédex, it will most likely find itself simply taking up a place in your Pokémon storage.

Below you’ll find the full moveset for Bruxish in Pokémon Go:

Possible Fast Moves:

• Bite (Dark)
• Confusion (Psychic)
• Water Gun (Water)

Possible Charged Moves:

• Aqua Tail (Water)
