Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 20): Ilex Forest.

  During Bugsy’s Ilex Forest bug hunt, carry Honey and spread it on the correct rock. Start with Burmy’s rock from any side except west; otherwise Bugsy takes Burmy after your first rock. A bug that flees from the Honey cannot be retried; only three of the four can be handled by you.

Chance per encounter, under the conditions shown.

• Morning: 4:00–9:59
• Day: 10:00–19:59
• Night: 20:00–3:59
