In the main Pokemon games, Cetoddle evolves using an Ice Stone. However, since evolution items aren't used in Pokémon Go, evolving Cetoddle into Cetitan will likely require Candy and a Glacial Lure Module, adding extra effort for players seeking the Terra Whale Pokémon.

Unfortunately, like many Ice types, Cetitan may be more suitable for completing the Pokédex than excelling in battles. While some Ice Pokémon like Walrein stand out, historically, most struggle in the Go Battle League. It's advised to keep expectations low regarding Cetitan's competitive usefulness.

Still, Niantic generates excitement among fans by offering a sneak peek at upcoming content. These marketing tactics keep players engaged even between significant updates. Although Cetitan might not drastically impact the meta, its reveal hints at the possibility of more crossover content in the future.
