Orthworm <\/strong>debuted in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/strong> during April 2026’s Steeled Resolve<\/a> event. Making its home in the Paldea region, making it part of Gen 9<\/a>, it really should be no surprise what creature Orthworm is inspired by. (It’s literally in its name.) Since shiny Orthworm has also been released, there’s a good chance you’ll be battling this worm more than once. To help you out, I’ve listed the Orthworm counters and weaknesses<\/strong> down below.<\/p>\n

How to get Orthworm in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/p>\n

There’s one way to catch Orthworm:<\/p>\n

That’s right, Orthworm can only be obtained from raids. Ideally, you’ll want to be battling Orthworm alongside other trainers since it’s a three-star raid boss. If you don’t have friends who play Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a> or live in a rural area, then I recommend using an app like Poke Genie and a Remote Raid Pass<\/a> to battle Orthworm. Depending on how powerful your Pok\u00e9mon are though, there’s a chance you might be able to solo Orthworm thanks to it being a mono-type and, therefore, quite easy to pick counters for.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend taking the time to catch at least one Orthworm before the Steeled Resolve event ends as, at the time of writing, there’s no news about when it might return to raids. It could be a week, it could be months. Either way, best to fill that Pok\u00e9dex entry when you can.<\/p>\n

\nThe Steeled Resolve event<\/a> is currently running and has seen the release of Orthworm<\/a>!

\nThere’s a lot to do in Pok\u00e9mon Go outside of the current event! From the Go Battle League<\/a>, Remote Trading<\/a>, Pok\u00e9Stop Showcase<\/a>, Routes<\/a> and Max Battles<\/a>. Don’t forget to catch rare Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> while you’re at it.
