The latest titles in the Pokemon game series include a lot of new Pokemon for Trainers to catch. One of the newest additions in Scarlet and Violet is Garganacl, a pure Rock-type specie that is considered rare, so it’s not surprising to see a lot of Trainers wanting to catch it. If you’re stuck on where to find Garganacl in Pokemon: Scarlet and Violet, stay with us as we’ll guide you through everything you need to know including its weakness.
Where to find Garganacl in Pokemon: Scarlet and Violet
If you’re still not done with the questlines in Pokemon: Scarlet and Violet, there is no way for you to find Garganacl yet. After you finish the questlines in the games, you can now travel to the Research Stations of the Great Crater of Paldea.
- Once you’re in the Research Stations of the Great Crater of Paldea, go near the caves. This is the area where Garganacl hangs out. This Pokemon is unmissable so as soon as you see a specie that resembles a giant chunk of rock salt, that will be Garganacl.
- This location is where Garganacl spawns, so be on the lookout for this Pokemon! However, it’s important to remember that the Garganacl in this area is already at Level 58. Make sure you’re ready before trying to catch them.
Alternative way to find Garganacl
Another way to have Garganacl on your team is by evolving any Nacli or Naclstack in your team. Similar to Garganacl, they are found in caves or around desert areas. Once you catch either of the Pokemon, keep leveling them up until they reach Level 38. At this point, it will evolve into Garganacl.
