How to catch a Galarian Yamask in Pokémon Go

The easiest way to catch a Galarian Yanmask in Pokémon Go is to complete the Special Research quest, A Spooky Message Unmasked.

By doing so you’ll earn an encounter with a Galarian Yamask, which you can have as your Buddy to collect more Yamask candy if needed and, eventually, evolve into a Runerigus.

It’s important to note that A Spooky Message Unmasked was released as part of the 2020 Halloween event, so, if you didn’t log into Pokémon Go during this event or made your account afterwards, there’s a chance you’ll be unable to access this quest.
