How to Obtain Indeedee in Pokémon GO
Method 1: Hatching 5km Eggs (Primary Method)
The most reliable way to get Indeedee is through 5km Eggs obtained during the Psychic Spectacular event. Here’s your step-by-step strategy:
Preparation Steps:
- Clear your Egg inventory – Make space for new 5km Eggs
- Spin PokéStops frequently during the event period
- Collect multiple 5km Eggs to increase your chances
- Walk consistently – You’ll need to cover 5 kilometers per Egg
Hatching Strategy:
- Use Egg Incubators to hatch multiple Eggs simultaneously
- Activate a Star Piece before hatching for bonus Stardust
- Walk in straight lines for optimal distance tracking
Method 2: Trading (Secondary Option)
If Egg hatching isn’t working out, trading with friends remains an option, though it’s expensive:
- High Stardust cost for new Pokédex entries
- Requires local friends who have caught Indeedee
- Not recommended unless you’re desperate
