Pokémon Go has quietly added Wigglet, the white-coloured and suspiciously-shaped species similar to Digglet that debuted in Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and raised a lot of eyebrows.
Wigglet’s introduction to Pokémon Go has been unusually low-key, with no official announcement of its appearance in the game on the official site. Still, Niantic has pulled off similar surprise-launches before, and Wigglet’s appearance now seems tied to the rollout of Pokémon Go’s admittedly very pretty new overworld visual refresh, which highlights the in-game biome you’re currently located within.
Fans quickly realised that Wigglet was only spawning in the game’s new beach biome – which makes it relatively accessible for a lot of the UK. But not everyone lives near a beach, and with some further research, the creature’s exact possible location can be nailed down.
