Komala is a Gen 7 Pokémon that debuted in Pokemon Go during hidden gem season.
Released as part of the Catching Some Z’s event in July 2023 in Pokémon Go, this Normal-type Pokémon is obviously inspired by koala bears. There’s even a little stick to hang on to!
Although Komala does not evolve, you still need to catch this Pokémon at least once if you want to complete your Pokédex.
Below you will learn how to get a komala in Pokémon Go to help you add this Pokémon to your Alola Pokédex.

How to get Komala in Pokemon Go
Komala made her first appearance in Pokémon Go on Saturday, July 15 as part of the Catching Some Z’s event.
Here’s how you can catch Komala in the Catching Some Z’s event:
Since there’s only one way to catch a Komala during this event, you need to hunt down this Pokémon in the wild if you want to add it to your Pokédex. However, that doesn’t make catching Komala any easier, as according to the official Pokémon Go blog, it’s one of the rarest spawns for the Catching Some Z event.
It is also important to remember that the Catching Some Z’s event ends Sunday, July 16 at 8 p.m. (local time). This means that, unlike other new Pokémon, you don’t have a lot of time to find and catch a Komala!
We highly recommend taking the time to catch a Komala during the Catching Some Z event, as at the time of writing, we don’t know what this Pokemon’s spawn rate will be once it will be finished. It’s possible that, like other recently released Pokémon, Komala will be hard to find after Catching Some Z ends, so it’s worth adding to your Pokédex while you have the chance.
To increase your chances of encountering a Komala during the event, we recommend using Incense or a Lure Module to lure Pokemon to your location. This will increase the number of Pokémon spawns you encounter and one of them could be a Komala.
It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on the “Nearby” tab in the lower right corner of your screen as this will let you know if Komala appears at a PokéStop near your current location. Until you first catch him, Komala will appear as a black silhouette, which should make him easier to spot on this tab.
Be sure to use a Razz Berry on Komala when you find it to increase your chances of catching it, and while doing so, make sure you catch it the first time.
Since Komala doesn’t evolve, just catching one will ensure it’s been added to your Gen 7 Pokédex.
Good luck catching Komala!
