How can you get Dunsparce in USUM?

Question

I've been looking for Dunsparce for awhile. Is it just really rare or is it an SOS exclusive Pokemon?

Answer 1

It is found on Route 2, but only in the Rustling Grass. It is not that rare, having a 15% encounter rate (although you will find Ekans 50% of the time, so comparatively it is a bit rare). The main note is that it is not found in a normal encounter - you need to check the rustling grass for it.

Also, it may be on other routes aside from Route 2, I don't know. That is just where I found it, and I went on Serebii to confirm its encounter rate.

Answer 2

Make sure to put a level 10 Pokemon in your party, Dunsparce appears between levels 7 to 11, if you use a repel not only do you block all the other Pokemon but you'll only cause either Dunsparce or Makuhita to appear, Makuhita even less so at night when it has a 5% encounter rate versus during the day at 30%. This is how I made the Dunsparce I caught appear.
