Where to find it
- Scripted encounter (Lv. 90): Ruins of Alph — Entei’s dream room.
After the final Hall of Fame and Lance’s visit to your house in Pallet Town. See Prof. Hale and Molly release the beasts in the Burned Tower before rematching the Mt. Mortar expedition leader; winning that rematch first can permanently block them. Return through the Kabuto chamber’s back wall and the statue hall to the dream room. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.
See the quest guide: Ruins of Alph: small extras; Ruins of Alph: the four stone panels and the chamber walls (continues Cherrygrove City to Azalea Town's Ruins of Alph entries).
