Where to find Budew in the wild

Location	Method / conditions	Level	Chance
Pal Park, Fixed Catch mode: Thursday	Grass/cave, any time	20	10%
Pal Park, Fixed Catch mode: Saturday	Grass/cave, any time	20	20%

Ilex Forest	Grass/cave, day	5	4%
Forest of Time / Forest of Time, maze of clearings	Grass/cave, morning	5	4%

Pal Park: The wild table changes with the day of the week (by the DS clock). You get in through the Catching Show's Fixed Catch mode at the Pal Park reception ($10,000; bring your own Poké Balls). Sunday's table is the same as Cerulean Cave's, probably by mistake in the hack, so it also has Surf and fishing slots: the park has a pond and a stretch of sea.

See the quest guide: Resort Zone: the Pal Park's Fixed Catch mode (wild Pokémon by weekday).
