Pokémon Go World of Wonders quest steps, including how to get Poipole and its evolution Naganadel
How to catch the Poison Pin Ultra Beast.
The World of Wonders special research quest offers you the chance to get Poipole in Pokémon Go.
It's important to note, however, that World of Wonders is a season-long special research quest, which means its challenges will be released in sets across the current Pokémon Go season - also known as World of Wonders.
Poipole is the only Ultra Beast which can evolve, becoming Naganadel after doing so. Yet, at the time of writing, you can't currently evolve Poipole in Pokémon Go. Hopefully we'll see Naganadel's arrival as more of World of Wonders is released.
Below we walk you through all of the currently released World of Wonder quests steps, while also taking a look at Poipole and Naganadel in Pokémon Go.

'World of Wonders' quest steps: How to get Poipole in Pokémon Go
World of Wonders was released in Pokémon Go on Friday 1st March and is a season-long special research quest running throughout, you guessed it, the World of Wonders Season.
You must play Pokémon Go at least once before 9:59am (local time) on Saturday 1st June 2024 to unlock the World of Wonders quest. Once you've done so, you'll be able to complete it whenever you like since it lacks a deadline.
It's also important to remember that, as a season-long quest, the quest steps for World of Wonders will be gradually released across its titular season. This means you can not fully complete this quest at the time of writing, but you will be able to do so by the end of this season. We'll update this page whenever a new set of quest steps are released, so keep an eye on this page.
Below you'll find all of the World of Wonders quest steps which have been released so far in Pokémon Go. Just be wary of spoilers!

Poipole and evolution Naganadel: Can Poipole evolve in Pokémon Go?
At the time of writing, Poipole can not evolve into Naganadel in Pokémon Go. Hopefully we'll see this feature being added as part of the World of Wonders quest in future months in a similar fashion to how the Cosmog evolutions were introduced. While we wait though, you may want to start hoarding Rare Candy as Poipole's evolution may cost an awful lot of candy.
Interestingly, Poipole is the only Ultra Beast that has the ability to evolve. When it does, Poipole goes from being a simple Poison-type to being a dual Poison and Dragon-type Pokémon, which is quite the deadly combination. This typing means that Naganadel has an advantage against Fairy-type Pokémon, which can deal some excellent damage to Dragon-types, as these Pokémon are weak to Poison-types.
Good luck adding Poipole to your Pokédex!
