Clobbopus is the new Fighting-type Pokemon debuting in Pokemon GO during the Well Armed Event. However, all players must work together to complete the Global Challenges to unlock this Pokemon in the wild. Once Clobbopus starts spawning, you can catch it and use 50 Clobbopus Candy to evolve Clobbopus into Grapploct.

You don’t need that many candies to evolve. But if you are stacking candies, we recommend keeping a fighting-type Mega Pokemon, like Mega Lucario to earn extra candy and candy XL when catching. You can even trade Clobbopus with friends to earn more candies.

Other Pokemon Spawns

Note: Pokemon marked with a * can be shiny.
