Bagon is extremely rare in Pokémon Moon, with a mere 1% chance of appearing in the wild.
This low encounter rate makes Bagon one of the more challenging Pokémon to find in the Alola region. For trainers hoping to add this Dragon-type to their team, patience and persistence are key.
Bagon's Location and Rarity Details
Bagon can be found in a very specific spot on Route 3. Knowing its exact habitat significantly narrows down your search, although its rarity remains constant regardless of your search efforts.
Where to Find Bagon
Bagon is exclusively found at the end of Route 3, specifically in the small patch of grass located by the distinctive palm tree. This particular patch is its only known wild habitat in Pokémon Moon.
Spawn Rate
The rarity of Bagon is defined by its encounter rate, which is one of the lowest in the game.
| Pokémon | Location | Spawn Rate | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bagon | Route 3 (End, by palm tree) | 1% | Very Rare |
This means that for every 100 encounters you initiate in that specific patch of grass, on average, only one will be a Bagon.
Tips for Hunting Bagon
Given its extreme rarity, trainers often employ strategies to increase their chances or make the hunt less tedious.
- Patience is paramount: Due to the 1% spawn rate, be prepared for a potentially long hunt. It's common for players to encounter dozens or even hundreds of other Pokémon before finding a Bagon.
- Repel trick: While Repels don't increase the spawn rate of rare Pokémon, they can help you encounter fewer low-level Pokémon that you don't want. Use Super Repels or Max Repels to ensure you're only encountering Pokémon from the higher level range of the area, potentially speeding up overall encounters.
- Lead with a Pokémon with Damp/Arena Trap: While not directly affecting Bagon's spawn rate, abilities like Damp (prevents Self-Destruct/Explosion) or Arena Trap (prevents fleeing) can be useful for other rare encounters, though Bagon does not have these moves or abilities. This is more of a general rare Pokémon hunting tip.
- Sound strategy: Some players listen for specific Pokémon cries or look for subtle visual cues, but for Bagon, it's purely about repeated encounters.
Finding Bagon is a test of a trainer's dedication, but successfully adding this rare Dragon-type to your collection is a rewarding experience.
