Where to find Plusle in Pokemon GO?

Plusle is one of the Pokemon creatures that will appear in the wild during the ongoing Hoenn event. However, it will have a much lower spawn rate than other Pokemon from this region. Therefore, it is suggested that you focus on completing the special Field Research task which will grant you a Plusle encounter.

To complete the Field Research task, you will first need to arrive at a PokeStop. Here, you have to spin the PokeStop to receive a challenge called “Catch 11 Pokémon”. Completing this task will earn you a Plusle encounter. In certain cases, you may also get a Minun encounter instead of a Plusle. In that case, you must go through the task again until you get a Plusle encounter.
