Orthworm is a brand new Steel-type introduced in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and is one of the Titan Pokemon trainers face during the main story. Here’s how trainers can find it in Paldea and Kitakami.

Giant worms moving around in the sand of the desert might sound very Star Wars, or even Dune, for trainers.

However, there is a giant Earthworm – eight foot long, in fact – waiting to rear its head in the Paldea region, and it’s no pushover. It is No. 296 on the Pokedex.

When attacked, Orthworm wields the tendrils on its body like fists and can pelt an opponent with a storm of punches.

Let’s take a look at where this Pokemon spawns, so you can go battle (or catch) it for yourself.

Orthworm is sensitive to sound and lives in deserts, so don’t be scared if you’re running in the sand and one appears in the overworld.

What type is it?

The Earthworm Pokemon is a steel-type and was introduced as part of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s eight generation of Pokemon.

Does Orthworm evolve?

For those leveling up Orthworm and hoping to evolve it, we have sad news – it does not evolve in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

That’s everything you need to know to catch the giant worm when you explore the new map. For those not currently hunting it down, watch out around the sand!
