Pokemon GO: Winter Attire Sudowoodo

Three Ways to Get Winter Attire Sudowoodo

1. Wild Encounters (Limited Time)

The easiest method is exploring your local area between December 18-24. Winter Attire Sudowoodo appears as a rare wild spawn during this window. Use Incense and Lure Modules to increase your spawn rates.

2. 3-Star Raids (Best Option)

Available throughout the entire event period, raiding offers consistent access. According to the official Pokemon GO guidelines, 3-star raids provide guaranteed encounters after victory.

Raid CP Ranges:

• No boost: 1162-1227 CP (Level 20)
• Partly Cloudy boost: 1452-1534 CP (Level 25)

Battle Strategy: As a mono-Rock-type, Sudowoodo is vulnerable to Fighting, Water, Grass, and Steel-type attacks. Bring counters like Machamp or other Fighting-types to defeat it quickly.

3. Friend Trading

Can’t find one? Ask in-game friends to trade! Since it’s a costumed variant of a common Pokemon, it won’t count as a Special Trade if you have regular Sudowoodo registered in your Pokedex.
