For starters, you can find Cubone wearing a cempasúchil crown via wild encounters, though this costumed Cubone is rarer than some of the other wild Pokemon available during Día de Muertos 2023.

One of the best ways to get face-to-face with Cubone wearing a cempasúchil crown is to use Incense and Lure Modules. Thanks to the Día de Muertos 2023 Event Bonuses, Incense and Lure Modules last longer. 

Another way to encounter the cempasúchil crown-wearing Cubone is by completing Field Research tasks. It's not guaranteed, but depending on how many objectives you finish, you will likely get at least one meeting with this costumed Cubone.

Finally, Cubone wearing a cempasúchil crown serves as the Raid Boss of One-Star Raids during Día de Muertos 2023.

Trainers from countries that celebrate Día de Muertos will have an easier time nabbing this unique Cubone! If you're based in Latin America or the Caribbean, all of the featured event Pokemon like Cubone wearing a cempasúchil crown will appear even more frequently in the wild and when using Incense and Lure Modules.

Can Cubone wearing a Cempasúchil crown be Shiny?
