Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 90): Dream World — reached from MooMoo Farm.

  After the final Hall of Fame and Lance’s visit to your house in Pallet Town. Enter the Dream World from the back wall inside MooMoo Farm’s west stable entrance. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

See the quest guide: Dream World: Cresselia and Darkrai (post-game); MooMoo Farm: the sick Miltank investigation (League HQ round 3; leads to the Dream World).
