Paldean Tauros comes in three forms in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, including: fighting-type, fire-type, and water-type. Here’s how to find all forms of Paldean Tauros, with specific spawn locations.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have added a boatload of new monsters to the Pokedex, and the doors are now open to the latest region, which has brought with it a few surprises.

Paldean Tauros is a little different from other regional forms in Gen 9, as it has been broken up into three separate forms – each of which differs in terms of its type.

All Paldean Tauros forms

There are three different forms for Paldean Tauros, available across the Paldea region map:

  • Fighting-type Paldean Tauros
  • Fighting/water-type Paldean Tauros
  • Fighting/fire-type Paldean Tauros

Now that you know what you’re looking for let’s take a look at how to find each of them.

The fighting-type Tauros form is the easiest to be found and can be seen in the early game at Artazon (East) running around in the fields.

You won’t have any trouble seeing the Pokemon in various locations, while the other two are a little more tricky.
