Buizel, Budew added to GO amid Stardust event
More of the generation four evolutions for older Pokémon may come soon too, with a ‘Sinnoh Stone’ item.
The drip feed of new Pokémon continues in Pokémon GO. Buizel, the Sinnoh Water type, as well as its evolution in Floatzel, has been spotted in the wild in the game overnight. Budew, the pre-evolution of Roselia, has also been added to 5 km Eggs. Its Shiny form has been added too – expected, given Shiny Roselia exists.
Are you ready for a new challenge, Trainer? Buizel, the Sea Weasel Pokémon, has now arrived with a splash in Raid Battles all around the world.

Put those walking shoes on and get hatching, Trainers. 👟 Budew, a Grass- and Poison-type Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region, can now be found in Eggs!

While evolutions such as Roserade are not yet accessible, a new item has been datamined within the game master files. The Sinnoh Stone will likely be a catch-all item for evolving these generation four Pokémon. It is not yet known when it will be implemented in the game for players, but data has been also updated for these Pokémon, suggesting it may be soon!
