Where to find it

  • Scripted encounter (Lv. 50): Route 32.

    Only if you forcibly took back the Wooper’s Poké Ball in Cherrygrove. After rescuing Molly in the Ruins of Alph, walk along the Route 32 bank east of the Hoppip owner. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

Chance per encounter, under the conditions shown.

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

Calendar encounters can replace a land slot on specific dates.

Safari candidates depend on the selected area and time. Object Arrangement does not unlock in this hack; bonus block encounters are excluded.
