Spinda is one of the most unique Pokémon in the entire series. Though the Normal-Type rabbit-like creature isn’t particularly competent in battle, or evolves into anything unique, the pattern on its body is different with every catch - with over four billion possibilities touted in the main games. Pokémon Go doesn’t offer this variation, and instead offers nine Spinda forms to try and find. On this page: Once you find the specific Field Research and complete it, Spinda will be available to catch. Each month, the Field Research you need to find changes. For January 2022, the quest is Five Great Curveball Throws in a Row with the reward being Spinda form 7. Once you have the task, then it’s time to land a Curveball. Our Curveballs page can help if you’re struggling with this throw type, but in short, you must spin the ball and land it in the circle. Take your time and wait until after an attack increase your chances. If you’re struggling, then attempting to catch a Legendary Pokémon from a Legendary raid - which usually have larger hit circles - might help. After that, Spinda will appear when you claim the Field Research reward. Spinda, like other Field Research reward catches, won’t run away, so take your time in catching it, and even consider using a Pinap Berry to increase the amount of Spinda Candy you earn.
Where to find the Spinda Field Research in Pokémon Go
With the many Field Research variants out there, the Spinda quest could take a while to hunt down. Remember, once you have spun a PokéStop and collected a Field Research task, you can delete it and spin another, so keep exploring until you find it.
Additionally, remember that each PokéStop is assigned a specific Field Research task every day for every player.
So if you can learn which one that is from a friend or someone in the Pokémon Go community, then that can make life easier.
Spinda quests have become increasingly hard to find, but with a month to find each form, you should be able to get one before the month’s out.
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
In Pokémon Go, things are a little easier, with just nine forms to catch.
Each month offers a different form to collect, though from June 2019, the forms are cycling back around again, allowing you to catch ones you previously missed.
Additionally, from June 2019, each newly-released Spinda form has the chance to be a shiny.
That’s every form available right now - if you missed one, wait until it comes round again, or see if a friend has one to trade.
As time goes on, more Spinda might be released - there is room in the Pokedex for 20 (!), so it’s very likely. When or how, however, we don’t know.
But for now, expect them to rotate through Field Research every month or two.
