On the surface, catching them all seems like an easy task in Pokemon GO, but what players don't expect is to be sent on a globe-trotting mission to fill their entire Pokedex. Unfortunately, Sawk is one of many Pokemon players having trouble locating as it's hidden in a handful of regions around the world, so read on to find out how you can get one and whether or not you will come across a brilliant variation.
How to Catch Sawk in Pokemon GO
Sawk is one of the most difficult Pokemon in Pokemon GO to encounter in the wild due to its locked to a handful of regions. Players in Europe, Asia and Australia will have the chance to encounter Sawk in the wild, but players outside of these regions will have to rely on trading with other players to fill their Pokedex. There is also a chance of hatch a Sawk from a 10 km egg from one of these regions, but considering how many Pokemon could potentially come from these eggs, the odds are pretty slim. For this reason, Sawk is considered a reasonably rare Pokémon alongside others such as Tauros, Pachirisu, and Kangaskhan, which can be located across the world.
Can Sawk be brilliant?
Sawk can be shiny but adopts a similar appearance to the standard Pokémon, similar to Galarain Darumaka. However, rather than being a cool blue tone throughout, a Shiny Sawk will have a slightly purple tint to her. If you can't tell the difference, look for a small orange circle near the Pokemon's gender on the capture screen, which means it's glowing. Since the chances of finding Sawk in the wild are already slim, finding a Shiny one is infinitely rarer.
Pokemon GO is now available on mobile devices.
