How to get Kleavor in Pokemon Go

Kleavor can only be caught in Pokemon Go during a three-star raid event. Unfortunately, this event was made as part of Kleavor’s Pokemon Go debut and is no longer available.

And while you can encounter Scyther out in the wild, there is currently no way to evolve it into Kleavor in Pokemon Go. Evolving Scyther in the mobile game will turn it into a Scizor, its Bug/Steel-type evolution that was introduced in Generation 2.

Sadly, the only way to catch a Kleavor in Pokemon Go is to wait for Niantic to add it back into the game.

Can Kleavor be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Kleavor does have a shiny form available in Pokemon Go. However, due to the Pokemon’s limited availability in the game, encountering a shiny Kleavor is extremely rare.

Unless Niantic decides to release Kleavor out in the wild the next time it comes around, you might want to set your expectations for finding a shiny one.

A shiny Kleavor will maintain the green hue that Scyther is known for. Its bladed limbs and rocky portions of its body stay the same colour of brown as regular Kleavors.
