Discover how to find and catch the Scarlet-exclusive Paradox Pokémon, Roaring Moon, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Includes location and tips for capturing this rare Pokémon.
Alright, so you're looking to snag yourself a Roaring Moon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? This one's a Scarlet exclusive and hangs out in Area Zero. Think of Paradox Pokémon as ancient versions of existing Pokémon in Scarlet, while Violet gets the futuristic ones. You won't be able to find any Paradox Pokémon until you've finished up the main story quests: Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends. Once that's done, Area Zero becomes your playground, and you can zip back there anytime by fast traveling to the Zero Gate.
- 1First things first, you'll need to make your way to Area Zero. Once you're there, head towards Research Station No. 3.
- 2Instead of going into the station itself, hang a left and keep going until you spot a big tree sitting under a rock archway.
- 3When you're at that tree, turn left again to face a rocky cliff. You're looking for a small opening tucked between two rocks in this cliff face.
- 4Squeeze through that opening – it's a secret tunnel that leads you into a pretty large, open cave. This is where the Roaring Moons hang out!
- 5Keep your eyes peeled and look up! They tend to fly pretty high and don't always come down, so you might need to scan the upper reaches of the cave.
- 6These Roaring Moons are usually around level 57, so make sure your team is ready for a battle.
- 7They can be a bit feisty, so having some Ultra Balls handy is a good idea to help secure the catch.
- Don't get discouraged if you don't see them right away; they can be a bit elusive. Just keep looking up!
- Make sure your Pokémon are strong enough to handle level 57 opponents.
- Ultra Balls are your friend here for a higher catch rate.
