Like the previous Generations before it, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet feature version exclusive monsters for trainers to find and catch depending on the game they’re playing.

Pokemon Violet version’s base game has 25 exclusive Pokemon, ranging from regular monsters to futuristic Paradox Pokemon.

Among those 25 Pokemon are Gen 3’s Poison-types, Gulpin and Swalot. Here’s how Pokemon Violet players can find these two slime Pokemon as well as how to evolve Gulpin.

Where to find Gulpin in Pokemon Violet

According to Pokemon Violet’s Pokedex, Gulpin mainly lives around towns and cities. However, it is mainly found in between two large cities: Mesagoza and Lavenicia.

To find Gulpin, trainers need to search around South Province (Area Three) and East Province (Area One).
