How to complete the Kitakami Pokedex in Scarlet and Violet DLC

Completing a Pokedex is one of those legendary achievements that should be on every Trainers’ bucket list. Some Pokedexes are much harder to finish than others, but the Kitakami Dex is easier than most. Still, there are always a few entries you can’t get by catching wild Pokemon and leveling them up. This guide is all about those and demystifying those elusive Dex entries. Here’s how to complete the Kitakami Pokedex in the Scarlet and Violet DLC.

#196 Bloodmoon Ursaluna
You can’t find Bloodmoon Ursaluna in the wild. Instead, you must have 150 Pokemon registered in your Kitakami Pokedex. This will trigger a side quest with Perrin that will end with a showdown against Bloodmoon Ursaluna.

The Loyal Three and Ogerpon are all tied to the story, so you will get your chance to catch these as you naturally progress through the game.

Besides regular leveling and wild hunting, this is how to get every Pokemon in the Kitakami Pokedex. Some are harder than others, and a few require trading with a friend. Tera Raids are always worth a look, as some unusual Pokemon, like Milotic, can be obtained from them. You have all the information to complete your Pokedex, and if this is your first, I wish you the very best of luck.
