Where to find and catch Meloetta in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC

Maleotta is the only Mythical Pokemon that spawns in the wild in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Here’s a breakdown of how players can trigger this elusive creature’s encounter in The Indigo Disk DLC.

Generation V introduced Pokemon fans to Meloetta, a Normal/Psychic Mythical that is among one of the rarest creatures to be had in the game.

Traditionally, Meloetta has only been made available in certain events. However, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk DLC players can get it to spawn after following a series of steps.

Here’s what trainers need to know about Meloetta in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Where to find Meloetta

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trainers can find Meloetta in the Coastal Biome of the Indigo Disk‘s Terarium. However, one must go to a specific spot on the map to get the spawn. We’ll get to why in a second.

This spot is to the east of the Coastal Outdoor Classroom Fast Travel point. There is a wind circle of leaves in the location that one needs to be, so use that as a reference point.

How to spawn Meloetta

Trainers were mystified about how to get Meloetta to spawn in the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk DLC at first. However, some stealth trainers, including @hsinhsung9847 on Twitter/X, were able to figure out how to get the mythical Pokemon to spawn.

After some testing.
1. Fly to this location, and find this bush.
2. Spin your character clockwise on this spot for 10+ seconds (I tried 5 seconds didn't work)
3. Boot up the camera, and swap to Sepia filter (press left 5 times).#Meloetta #メロエッタhttps://t.co/Tl8RkMIl1I

Here are the steps:

1. Spin in a clockwise motion for at least 10 seconds
2. Start the camera
3. Switch to Sepia filter

Once these are done, pan the camera around the location until Meloetta is located. While the camera is being panned out, one should hear a change in music and singing.

Once one finds Meloetta, just approach it.
