Unlocking the Path to Bulbasaur
In the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the arrival of the Indigo Disk DLC brings the beloved Bulbasaur to the forefront. To encounter Bulbasaur in the wild, players need to navigate through various game milestones, including completing Starfall Street, Path of Legends, Victory Road, and the Kitakami/Teal Mask storyline.
Expanding the Coastal Biome for Bulbasaur
Access to the Coastal Biome at Blueberry Academy is crucial for Bulbasaur to appear. Players must contribute 3000 Blueberry Points (BP) to the environment club to expand this biome. BPs are earned by completing Blueberry Quests, varying from simple tasks to Tera Raid completions in Terarium.
Finding Bulbasaur in the Wild
Once the Coastal Biome is expanded, Bulbasaur can be found on the west side of the biome, particularly near the Coastal Rest Area. These creatures spawn near shorelines but never in the water.
Alternatives to Indigo Disk DLC
For players without the DLC, Bulbasaur can be obtained through trades or by transferring from games like Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Pokemon Sword/Shield’s Isle of Armor DLC, Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!/Eevee!, or Pokemon GO. This requires a Nintendo Online Membership and the use of Pokemon HOME for transfers.
Evolving Bulbasaur into Venusaur
Bulbasaurs caught in Terarium are around level 58, needing only one level up to evolve into Ivysaur, and another to become Venusaur. For transferred Bulbasaurs, the evolution occurs at level 16 into Ivysaur and then at level 32 into Venusaur.
In “Pokémon Scarlet and Violet” the journey to catch and evolve Bulbasaur offers an engaging experience, blending in-game progression with external transfer options. Whether through the DLC or transfers, players have various ways to add this classic Pokemon to their collection.
