The Pokemon inPokemon GOdo not gain experience or level up as their mainline counterparts. Instead, players can Power Up their Pokemon using Stardust and Candy. Pokemon evolution inGOalso requires Candy to work. Any Pokemon that can evolve in mainlinePokemoncan evolve inGO. However, some species are gender exclusive.
Salandit is a Poison/Fire-type Pokemon that debuted in the eighth generation. It can evolve by leveling up just like most Pokemon, but there’s a catch. Salandit are difficult to come by inPokemon GO, and getting a Salazzle can be even more time-consuming.

Where to Find Salandit
Salandit can be hatched fromStrange Eggs, which are obtained from defeating aTeam GO Rocket LeaderorGiovanni.Pokemon GOtrainers can hold up to3 Strange Eggsin the Bonus Storage. These Eggs require12kmto hatch.
Salandit’s hatch rate is 2/5 Eggs, making it common, but not as common as Pokemon like Salandit, Pawniard, Vullaby, and Pancham. Eggs will only hatch if they’re placed in anEgg Incubatoror aSuper Incubator. Incubators will break after3 uses, but players will receiveone permanent Egg Incubator.
How to Find Team GO Rocket Leaders
In order to fight a Team GO Rocket Leader, players will needx6 Mysterious Componentsto make aRocket Radar. The next Team GO Rocket Encounter will be Arlo, Cliff, or Sierra. Their Pokemon team are full of tough Shadow Pokemon, and they’ll use Protect Shields against the player’s first two Charge Moves.
Players will need aSuper Rocket Radarto encounter Giovanni. These are only given out during Team GO Rocket Special Research quests. Giovanni will always haveone Legendary Pokemonon his team that players can snag if they manage to beat him.
How to Get More Egg Incubtors
Egg Incubators can be given as reward for certainSpecial Researchtasks orreaching certain Trainer Levels. Players will get Incubators at the following levels:
Another way to obtain Incubators is by purchasing them from the in-game shop for150 Coins(x1 Egg Incubator) or200 Coins(x1 Super Incubator). Under theLimited Time Only!, there may be a gift box that contains Egg Incubators in bulk.Voyager Box (1750 Coins) has x40 Ultraballs, x8 Super Incubators, and x10 Egg Incubators.
Placing a Strange Egg (12km) in aSuper Incubatorwill halve the hatch distance. There are also in-game events that may shorten the hatch distance, so players will want to keep an eye out for those. Event can be checked by tapping theBinocularsicon, then selecting theTodaytab. Scroll past theTimed Researchto view a list of daily and/or monthly events.
How to Evolve Salandit into Salazzle
Salandit will evolve into Salazzle when it’s given50 Salandit Candy, butonly if the Salandit is female. Unfortunately, the male:female gender ratio for Salandit is7:1, making a female Salandit almost as rare as getting a female Starter Pokemon (ex., Bulbasaur). This means it may take more than a few Strange Eggs until playerscan get a female Salandit.
Players can check the gender of Salandit by thesymbol next to its name. Furthermore, a male Salanditwill not have a button that allows it to Evolve.

How to Get Salandit Candies Fast
Until Salandit can be caught in the wild, the best way to farm Salandit Candies fast is to keep hatchingStrange Eggs. Team GO Rocket Gruntsappear just about anywhere, so players can get a Rocket Radar fairly quickly.
Hatching a Salandit from a Strange Egg will give anywhere from16-32 Candy. There are also daily events that willincrease the Hatch Candy, too. Trying to hatch an Egg during this timeframe is a good way to farm Candy from Pokemon that are Egg-exclusive.
Players will also get1 Salandit Candyforevery 3kmif theyset Salandit as their Buddy Pokemon. Giving Salandit aPoffinwill shorten the Distance Required for Candy. However, Poffins are rare and last 6 hours, so it may be best to feed it to Salandit whenPokemon GOtrainers have free time.
Finally, since the male Salandit can’t evolve, players canTransferit to the professor. Each time a Pokemon is Transferred, it’ll give1 Candy. Sometimes, Transferring a Pokemon willdouble the Candyif there’s an ongoing event or during holidays.
