Pokemon GO: Cetitan & Cetoddle Debut from Scarlet and Violet

Niantic has provided the first hints of another Pokémon Scarlet and Violet crossover in Pokémon GO, with promotional art teasing the debut of Cetoddle and its evolution, Cetitan. While the current in-game season spotlights Hisuian species from Legends: Arceus, the powerful Ice types suit Pokémon GO winter events. Learn more about the Pokemon GO and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet crossover in this article!

Pokemon GO: Cetitan & Cetoddle Debut Release Date

Cetitan seems well-suited for cold weather and its early preview suggests it might be introduced during Pokemon GO's Winter Holiday celebration. The festivities take place from December 18th to 31st, 2023 in two parts, providing an ideal opportunity for the debut of this Paldean creature.

Evolution Details from Cetoddle to Cetitan in Pokemon GO

In the main Pokemon games, Cetoddle evolves using an Ice Stone. However, since evolution items aren't used in Pokémon Go, evolving Cetoddle into Cetitan will likely require Candy and a Glacial Lure Module, adding extra effort for players seeking the Terra Whale Pokémon.

Unfortunately, like many Ice types, Cetitan may be more suitable for completing the Pokédex than excelling in battles. While some Ice Pokémon like Walrein stand out, historically, most struggle in the Go Battle League. It's advised to keep expectations low regarding Cetitan's competitive usefulness.

Still, Niantic generates excitement among fans by offering a sneak peek at upcoming content. These marketing tactics keep players engaged even between significant updates. Although Cetitan might not drastically impact the meta, its reveal hints at the possibility of more crossover content in the future.
