To get a Storm Drain Gastrodon, your primary method is to participate in specific Tera Raids within Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Obtaining Gastrodon with Its Hidden Ability
Gastrodon's Storm Drain is classified as a Hidden Ability, which means it's rarer than its standard abilities. This powerful ability allows Gastrodon to absorb Water-type attacks, boosting its Special Attack.
Follow these steps to increase your chances of finding one:
- Target Tera Raids: Focus on finding and challenging 4-Star Tera Raids that feature Gastrodon. Both the blue West Sea Gastrodon and the pink East Sea Gastrodon can appear in these raids.
- Raid Level: These particular raids will typically have Gastrodon at level 45.
- Small Chance: It is important to know that even when you successfully complete a 4-Star Gastrodon Tera Raid, there is only a small chance that the captured Gastrodon will possess its Hidden Ability, Storm Drain. This may require multiple attempts.
Benefits of Storm Drain
When a Gastrodon has the Storm Drain ability, it gains a significant advantage in battle:
- Water Immunity: Gastrodon becomes completely immune to damage from any Water-type moves.
- Special Attack Boost: Instead of taking damage from a Water-type attack, Gastrodon's Special Attack stat will increase by one stage, making it more potent offensively.
By consistently seeking out and participating in 4-Star Gastrodon Tera Raids, you enhance your likelihood of acquiring this strategically valuable Pokémon.
