With the new Rocket event there will also be a new Pokémon in Pokémon GO. We’ll explain how you can get it.
Which Pokémon is it? The new Stolen Treasures event in Pokémon GO starts this weekend. Team Rocket returns and brings with them some new Crypto-Pokémon that have not yet been found in the game. Another Pokémon will also make its debut in Pokémon GO during the event: Knattox.
This Pokémon comes from the 9th generation of games and has the types Steel and Poison. It also has an evolution, Knattatox, which is also unlocked in Pokémon GO. If you want to hunt for Knattox, you need one thing above all: patience. Because there is only one way to get the Pokémon.

Defeat Rockets, make your way, hatch eggs
How can I get Knattox? If you want to catch Knattox, you have to defeat Rocket bosses first. Knattox can only be found by hatching 12 km eggs. You will only receive these if you defeat a Rocket Boss and have enough space in your egg bag.
To challenge a Rocket boss, you need the Rocket Radar. To get this, you must first defeat 6 Rocket Thugs.
Additionally, since there are multiple Pokémon that can hatch from 12 km eggs, this can be a lengthy process. After all, you first have to defeat the Rocket bullies, find and defeat a Rocket boss, and then hatch the 12 km egg.
If you want to collect several copies of Knattox or quickly get candies by hatching them in order to develop it, this can definitely take time.
What do you think about the new Pokémon and the method to obtain it? Are you also looking forward to this Pokémon or do you think the process to obtain it is far too long? Feel free to write us your opinion in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers. You can also find an overview of the events in January 2024 in Pokémon GO.
