Features

Pokémon Debut

Tandemaus, the Couple Pokémon, and Maushold, the Family Pokémon, will make their Pokémon GO debuts!

Starting with the Better Together event, you will also be able to catch Tandemaus in Party Play encounters—if you’re lucky!

You can use 50 Tandemaus Candy to evolve Tandemaus into Maushold.

Maushold is available in two forms: Family of Four and Family of Three. The chance of evolving to the Family of Three form is rarer than to the Family of Four form. In Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet it’s 1/100 to evolve to Family of Three. In Pokémon GO, the rate is currently unknown. The evolve button will always show the silhouette for the Family of Four form while the evolution is presumably random.

  • Tandemaus
  • Maushold (Family of Four)
  • Maushold (Family of Three)
