Trainers curious to obtain Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet should know that these three Dragon/Ghost-type creatures are not available in both games. They are exclusive to Pokemon Violet. This means that trading is the only way for Pokemon Scarlet players to obtain these Pocket Monsters.
This guide is directed mainly toward Pokemon Violet players since they're the only ones who can capture Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult.
Note: This guide doesn't focus much on breeding or trading.
How to catch Dreepy in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Pokemon Violet players can get Dreepy pretty early in their playthrough. It is worth noting that its spawn rate ranges from 5% (river) to 20% (swamp). Ergo, one of Paldea's swamps is the best way to get it.
Dreepy's base stats are as follows:
- HP: 28
- Attack: 60
- Defense: 30
- Sp. Atk: 40
- Sp. Def: 30
- Speed: 82
Dreepy has a fairly low catch rate of 45, meaning that players have an only 11.9% chance of catching it with a regular Poke Ball when it's at full health. They can just weaken the Dragon/Ghost-type Pokemon, give it a status ailment, and use a good ball to obtain it easily.
Trainers can get Dreepy in Pokemon Violet at any time of the day, so it shouldn't be too challenging to find one and catch it. Alternatively, they can obtain it in a 3-star raid.
How to catch Drakloak in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Drakloak can be found in a few locations comparatively. However, it is nowhere near as ubiquitous as its pre-evolution, as it is only available in a few northern areas of Paldea. If players don't wish to catch it in the wild, they can also opt to evolve Dreepy at Level 50.
This Dragon/Ghost-type creature's base stats are:
- HP: 68
- Attack: 80
- Defense: 50
- Sp. Atk: 60
- Sp. Def: 50
- Speed: 102
Drakloak has an identical catch rate to its pre-evolution. It is statistically stronger, but any strategy used to catch its pre-evolution will suffice.
It is worth mentioning that trainers can also get Drakloak in a 4-star raid.
How to catch Dragapult in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Dragapult does not spawn in the wild in any location. Hence, trainers have two main ways to get it:
- Drakloak evolves into Dragapult at Level 60
- 5-star and 6-star raids
Both options are achievable towards the end of the game. Players should note that anything found in raids has a 100% catch rate, provided they're capable of defeating it.
Since Dragapult is a Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon, it predictably has a grand 600 base stat total. Here are its base stats:
- HP: 88
- Attack: 120
- Defense: 75
- Sp. Atk: 100
- Sp. Def: 75
- Speed: 142
In the competitive scene, Dragapult has done well for both single and double battles in Sword and Shield, so it's bound to help players out in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as well.
