Stantler — and even its Hisuian evolution Wyrdeer — return in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Here’s everything players need to know about them on their journey through Paldea.

Among the many returning Pokemon from previous Generations, trainers can once again catch the Big Horn Pokemon, Stantler, in Scarlet & Violet.

While Stantler was one of Generation 2’s Normal-type Pokemon that didn’t really stand out thanks to its lack of evolution, it finally got one in through Pokemon Legends Arceus in the form of Wyrdeer.

While trainers can find both Pokemon in Paldea and the Kitakami region, it might take a bit of outside help to get Wyrdeer in their game. Anyway, here’s everything players need to know about catching Stantler in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Where to find Stantler in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Paldea locations

Players looking to catch a Stantler for themselves can find them around the rocky, hilly area of South Province (Area Five) and South Province (Area Three).

  • Reveler’s Road
  • Kitakami Hall

How to get Wyrdeer in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Unfortunately, trainers looking to evolve Stantler into Wyrdeer straight from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are out of luck. However, that doesn’t mean trainers can’t use Wyrdeer for themselves in Paldea.

Wyrdeer is one of the many Home-exclusive Pokemon alongside other the likes Hisuian forms like Zorua and new evolutions like Kleavor.

Pokemon native to the ancient Hisui region will need to be transferred from Pokemon Home.

As such, trainers who used a Wyrdeer in Pokemon Legends Arceus must move it to Home and then transfer it to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet when the feature becomes available sometime in Spring 2023.
