Although catching this Pokemon may be tricky, the rarity makes it worth it. If you’re struggling to fight him, we’d recommend using a Bug or Dark-type Pokemon. Most importantly, make sure to leave some HP left when you’re about to throw your Pokeball at him. Try not to use some overkill moves that will likely cause him to faint. In addition, given his level and catch rate, you’ll want to use a Great Ball to secure him to your collection.

Using this feature, players can join a Pokemon Scarlet player lobby, where they will gain access to Pokemon Scarlet-exclusive Pokemon.
