Where to find Minun in Pokemon GO?

During the Hoenn event, players will be able to find most of the Pokemon creatures in the wild. However, Minun has a very low spawn rate, meaning that it is highly unlikely for you to encounter it. The easiest way to catch a Minun in Pokemon GO is by completing the Field Research task which is now live in the game.

All you need to do is make your way to a PokeStop. Once you get there, you will be tasked with spinning the PokeStop to get a task called “Catch 11 Pokémon”. Now, you simply need to complete the challenge and you will get an encounter with Minun. You should note that on certain occasions, the game will rather give you an encounter with Plusle. If that happens, you will need to go complete the whole task again. Complete the tasks until you finally get an encounter with Minun.
