Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC opens up to a brand-new area for trainers to explore while bringing back Pokemon from previous generations. This update has also enabled compatibility withPokemon HOME, making it easier to obtain Pokemon without resorting to traditional methods.
Phantump and its evolution, Trevenant, appear in Kitakami, meaningScarlet/Violettrainers are going to have to catch them if they intend to complete the Kitakami Pokedex. Compared to some of the other Pokemon in Teal Mask, Phantump and Trevenant shouldn’t cause trainers too much of an issue. However, it’s best to have a team of Pokemon around level 55/70 before hunting down these Ghost/Grass-types.
Where to Find Phantump
Phantump can be found in theTimeless Woods. This is in thenortheast cornerof the map. It can be reached byheading east from Paradise Barrensornorth from Kitakami Hall. The Timeless Woods aren’t an area that trainers will visit in the Teal Mask’s main story. However, they’ll have to visit this area if they take onthe Blood Moon Ursaluna side quest from Perrin.
While the Pokemon in Timeless Woodsdohave their level scaled, they won’t dropbelow level 53. IfScarlet/Violetplayers have completed “The Way Home” main quest, then the Timeless Woods Pokemon will be aroundlevel 74instead.
Phantump is alevel 50(orlevel 71) Pokemon. It’s easier to find it at night, but Ghost-type Pokemon can spawn during the day albeit at a lower rate. Occasionally, lower-leveled Phantump (i.e: level 30) may spawn in theKitakami Wilds, which is the patch of land between Paradise Barrens and Timeless Woods.
Phantump’s catch rate isn’t that low, so trainers should be able to catch one by using a Quick Ball. If it’s nighttime, a Dusk Ball is recommended, too.In case trainers have to battle, avoid using hard-hitting moves, as Phantump’s Defense is rather poor. Also keep in mind that its Ghost-typingmakes it immune to Normal-type attacks. Try inflicting a status ailment before using a Poke Ball.
Another way to get Phantump is to look for one in3-star Tera Raids. A Phantump in a Tera Raid may have a different Tera-typing than the ones that can be obtained in the wild (which will have Ghost or Grass Tera-typing). Like all Pokemon in 3-star Raids, a Raid Phantump can potentially have its Hidden Ability: Harvest.
How to Evolve Phantump into Trevenant
Phantump evolves into Trevenantwhen traded. To trade inScarlet/Violet, players will need to have a Nintendo Online Membership Subscription. Once they have this, they can use thePoke Portal, which can be accessed in the pause-menu (X-button) inScarlet/Violet. From there, selectLink TradeandSet Codeto give to a friend.
Where to Find Trevenant in the Wild
Those that can’t trade can insteadcatch a Terastallized Trevenentin theTimeless Woods. This one appears near the middle of the woods (refer to theorange flag on the above image), and trainers can battle/defeat it before attempting to catch it. The Trevenant’s Tera-typing is Normal, therefore eliminating Trevenant’s usual type-weakness to Ghost-type moves. Players will need to lower its HP to a quarter so that it loses its Terastallization. Once this happens, it can be caught.
Usually, Trevenant is weak to Fire and Dark-type moves, but the Normal-type Trevenant is weak against Fighting-type moves. Keep this in mind when weakening it in battle.
Another way to find Trevenant is in5 or 6-star Tera Raids. 5-star Raids unlock when trainers have completed “The Way Home”, while 6-star Raids are available upon completing the postgame/Academy Ace Tournament. Also, like Phantump, Trevenants will only appear in the Tera Raids inKitakami. They won’t spawn in Paldea.
Getting Phantump & Trevenant with Pokemon HOME
The other method of getting Trevenant without trading is to transfer one fromanother gameusingPokemon HOME. Both Pokemon appear inSword/Shield, so if players caught one in Gen 8, it can be moved to Gen 9. Another way of getting them is to catch and evolve a Phantump inPokemon GO. These Pokemon spawn more inGOaround Halloween.
