Wild Pokémon — Route 3
| Pokémon | Versions | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() Bunnelby |
X & Y | Grass | Slightly higher level than Route 2 — better catch if you skipped earlier. |
![]() Fletchling |
X & Y | Grass | Third and final easy chance — past this you'll need to evolve a Pidgey instead. |
![]() Litleo |
X & Y | Grass | ★ Excellent pick if you chose Chespin or Froakie. Evolves into Pyroar — strong special attacker. |
![]() Pidgey |
X & Y | Grass | Same notes as before. |
![]() Marill |
X & Y | Grass near brook | Fairy typing introduced this gen — Azumarill with Huge Power + Belly Drum is a late-game terror. |
![]() Azurill |
X & Y | Grass near brook | Pre-evolution of Marill. Skippable — Marill spawns in the same area. |
![]() Surskit |
X & Y | Grass (uncommon) | Same species as Viola's lead — useful scouting catch to study its moves. |
![]() Audino |
X & Y | Rustling Grass Rustle | Big EXP yield. Always engage rustling grass for free XP throughout the game. |
![]() Dunsparce |
X & Y | Rustling Grass Rustle | Rare rustle. Serene Grace + Headbutt later makes it surprisingly playable. |
