Okay, so, I’ve been trying to get this Galarian Yamask in Pokémon GO, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. Not like the usual stuff where you just need, like, a bunch of candies.
First off, I started by catching a Galarian Yamask. I mean, that’s a no-brainer, right? You can’t do anything without having the Pokémon in the first place. I found one during an event, thankfully, because they aren’t just chilling around everywhere. Then came the not-so-fun part.

This is where it got a bit wild. This Galarian Yamask, it doesn’t just evolve with candies. Nope, you gotta do some extra work.
So, I made Galarian Yamask my buddy. I walked around with it, battled with it, you know, the usual buddy stuff. But that wasn’t enough.
The Real Deal
Then I figured out you have to win ten raids with this guy as your buddy. Ten! And not just any raids, I had to do them with Galarian Yamask as my current buddy. It’s not even about having it in your party, it has to be the buddy. A bit of a pain, honestly.
I joined a bunch of raids. Some were easy, some were tough. I lost a few, not gonna lie. But I kept at it. I teamed up with other players, coordinated attacks, and finally got those ten wins. It took a while, but I did it.
- Catch a Galarian Yamask.
- Set it as your buddy.
- Win ten raids with it as your active buddy.
After all that, I finally evolved my Galarian Yamask into Runerigus. It was a bit of a grind, but hey, I got a cool new Pokémon out of it. Definitely a different kind of evolution process, but that’s what makes it kinda interesting, I guess.
So yeah, that’s my story of getting Runerigus in Pokémon GO. If you’re trying to do the same, just be ready for those raids. It is not just a walk in the park!
