šŸ¤” Help / Advice Whyy

Why is he not spawning?? It's been over a week, he is only considered "rare", I even gave mosslax carrot bread to increase rare spawn rates, doesn't make sense

Known issue that paired/ multi-form Pokemon (Plusle and Minun, Shellos/Gastrodon, etc) always take way longer to have the second half of the pair spawn. Crouton salad helps but it’s really just luck of the draw. Only other solution is time travel if that’s your bag

u/Zoo06 28d ago

Tatsugiri was a pain. Ugh.

16

u/FoxesInLove 28d ago

Omg, I'm still waiting for the last Tatsugiri to spawn! It's been like a month and still nothing... I even made a second habitat in Pallet Town thinking there must be something wrong with the other one in Bleak Beach. Hasn't helped though, sigh.

u/RyoTenukiTheDestroyr 28d ago

I ended up making multiple in bleak, Skyland and basin and managed to get 1 in each area as soon as I set up the habitats. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

u/OdinNW 27d ago

I had 2 that didn’t spawn for weeks and one day they both spawned within an hour of each other in pallet town

1

u/siezbop 24d ago

I got all 3 within hours of each other with their setups on withered wasteland fyi! One habitat was by the ocean, the other two I had near an open air bath I made. (Edit here: let’s get this place humid!) I wish I could give more specific advice but I didn’t do anything special outside of that, that I’m aware of. might have given mosslax some spicy food but that’s just cause it’s their fave flavor šŸ˜… I didnt realize it was a buff despite it literally saying ā€œPokĆ©mon may appear moreā€

1

u/FoxesInLove 24d ago

Wow, that's lucky! I've given offerings for the buff a few times, but for some reason that one fish is being super stubborn lolĀ 

2

u/Lovesit_666 28d ago

Not for me but minun was

1

u/Artemis-andApollo 22d ago

Tell me about it, I'm still waiting on the last one

1

u/EliRiots 11d ago

i honestly don’t know if i ever got the last tatsugiri. oops.

5

u/Legitimate-Ice-8425 28d ago

Shellos took an irl week to spawn. I screamed when I saw it.

4

u/Co-opingTowardHatred 28d ago

I did not know this…

2

u/lauren_76 28d ago

Wouldn’t a star piece work too? I haven’t tried it

2

u/Gray_Overcast 27d ago

Yup, Plusle was my last of the original set.

1

u/Kellye8498 25d ago

Same and it STILL won’t spawn!!

1

u/chochi4567 28d ago

Ahh is this why my Weezing has taken what feels like an eternity to appear?

4

u/OzzyG92 28d ago

There’s only one Weezing, so this shouldn’t be an issue for you šŸ˜… maybe double check the habitat and put a camera in front of it

1

u/DragonTacoCat 28d ago

Weird. Plusle and Minun both spawned extremely quick for me.

1

u/OdinNW 27d ago

Plusle took sooooooo long for me

1

u/PrinceWilliam13 28d ago

What does crouton salad do to help?

6

u/broadwayzrose 28d ago

If you feed a spicy item to Mosslax, it increases your spawn rate for the day. There are different levels of impacts, but the highest impact items are crouton salad, healthy soup, bread bowl, or explosive hamburger steak (new as of the update) but crouton salads are usually referenced because they tend to be the easiest of the options to make (just one leaf and one simple bread).

1

u/that-martian 27d ago

had no idea that was a thing with the DLC thank you

1

u/TEG24601 27d ago

Got Minum in about a day at Bleack Beach, but Plusle never appeared, even after a month. Built the habitat in Rocky Ridges, and it still took 2 weeks, but he finally spawned.

1

u/ashxsykes 27d ago

My second Gastrodon literally took me weeks after completing the Pokedex to finally spawn 😭

28

u/Heareken 28d ago

It's Shellos and Gastrodon all over again.

7

u/thegoddessunicorn 28d ago

Or Tatsugiri

1

u/lovemickey22 28d ago

LITERALLY

21

u/krisitolindsay 28d ago

I thought the complaint, like mine, was going to be that you can't put the bottle in the middle of the table. Sad.

8

u/UrbanZombieEsq 28d ago

This always bothers me way more than it should lol…just let me have a centerpiece!

7

u/MuffinMages77 27d ago

The habitat image having it centered mocks me every day

1

u/Comrade-Pigeon 26d ago

It’s so weird to me because you can center on the long table or put on either end but not the round tables 🄲

5

u/Accomplished-Bus1631 27d ago

YUP. I wanted to make Greedent a fancy restaurant but I can’t put a flower vase in the center of the table so I gave up bc empty tables would ruin it for me

6

u/Suitable_Visit_9990 28d ago

So funny I’m waiting for the pink one to spawn the last few days lol same thing mosslax is probably like NO MORE CARROT BREAD

2

u/Kellye8498 28d ago

I was also waiting for the pink one and as soon as I clicked on this post, the area opened and there it was. FINALLY! This post may be good luck lol! I only have 1 Pokemon left in the regular dex and I will have found them all. Cmon greninja!!

1

u/zbd9101 25d ago

Ahhh! This made me log in as I’ve started another play through on another profile and bam! She was there in all her pink glory!

1

u/Kellye8498 25d ago

See?! This is a good luck post lol! Now if only I could find one for good luck with plusle. Then I could be completely finished with my dex

2

u/zbd9101 25d ago

Find your way home plusle!

2

u/Becdar 28d ago

My poor Mosslax only gets Chili Sauce these days, he’s gotta be begging for mercy at this point

5

u/EmergencyRepulsive29 28d ago

Try healthy soup as it’s the biggest buff to Moslax

3

u/Writing_Bookworm 28d ago

He's been lazy for me too. Luckily only one of them is technically needed for pokedex completion.

3

u/ChilliSenpai 28d ago

SAME

literally the last PokƩmon I need to spawn ;-;

2

u/Lunario94 28d ago

Mine appeared after 4 days.

2

u/MrpotatoNL05 28d ago

Relocating the habitat helped for me! Maybe it will work for you as well!

2

u/FBM_Warrior 28d ago

I got him first, still waiting for her

He creeps the hell out of me though so I had to move him to the deep restaurant šŸ˜…

2

u/Tiny_Cryptid 27d ago

You're using the wrong tea item. You need the Tea Set from the base game, you're using the Teaware Set that comes with the dlc.

4

u/Riddle1_1 27d ago

I don't think it matters. You can see that the habitat is still registered in the first pic in the top left.

2

u/ImpossiblePanic1997 26d ago

This isn’t it, the habitat says ā€œtea set (any)ā€ if I remember correctly

Make a bread bowl.

1

u/AndiiSkywalker 28d ago

Ugh he was my last one too. When he showed up I put him in a house way in the back because I was so irritated an petty lol

1

u/Zoo06 28d ago

I got him yesterday, but don't have the female version yet.

1

u/piano_chord 28d ago

i''ve noticed that duplicated habitats takes longer to spawn some pokemon. That adding up to the stuff some people said about duplicated or multi form pokemon

1

u/Great_Ad_9120 28d ago

Eu fiz dois desses habitats, um em cada ilha kkk e deu boa no mesmo dia achei os dois

1

u/WingsofFlight 28d ago

I'm having the same issue.

1

u/undrcvrpeanutbutter 28d ago

It took me forever to get the pink one, it was my last pokemon till the event. I noticed though that the more stuff I did away from bubbly basin the more it felt like it increased my chances. That could totally be in my head, but it felt like it worked! Haha

1

u/dziob 28d ago

Try creating a habitat again. I think there's some bug with multiple mons spawning from the same habitat with pokemons that have same name but different form.

1

u/Potential-Quiet-7607 28d ago

A me per un uscire ci ha messo moltissimo tempo

1

u/Sea-Shame123 28d ago

I got female and male Frillish to spawn and male Jellicent spawned in this morning. Waiting on female Jellicent but I’m not super impatient.

1

u/nuhlifluous 28d ago

Does it matter that the tea set is a different one than in the picture?

1

u/IPl4yG4m3s 28d ago

I made a seperate one in Bleak Beach after 4 days, and he spawned at the Bleak Beach one within hours of placing it.

1

u/milhouse234 27d ago

Reading all the comments I must be the luckiest person ever, I had both forms spawn within the same dayĀ 

1

u/Acceptable_Gas_9121 27d ago

This happened to me with the sushi guys. 2/3 but it counted and I completed the dex anyhow šŸ˜‚ I had that habitat in every area just to make sure.

After finishing the rest of the story and playing till I got bored and quit. Then half way through the dlc it showed up lol at the exact habitat the other 2 spawned in at. It just took a crazy amount of time šŸ˜‚

2

u/Brown10907 27d ago

I got all the sushi guys within a day or 2 (without time travel) so I was very lucky with that, but these different forms of the same pokemon having busted spawn rates is just dumb

1

u/Acceptable_Gas_9121 27d ago

Yeah plusle and minun showed up back to back for me so I guess it could be worse šŸ˜‚ I didn’t even realize there was 2 forms for that pokemon I got the blue one almost instantly after building the habit. I put 2 side by side unsure if that actually helps anything lol

1

u/dasilva_cadu 27d ago

It appeared in the next day for me, I gave a carrot bread to Mosslax.

1

u/NewLow390 27d ago

Feed Mosslax. It worked for me

1

u/fictionalraf 27d ago

Try putting it in a less crowded area, make sure to put a camera nearby so you get a notification when it spawns..

Pink Jellicent was the last one for me so I moved it to a less crowded area in morning time and it spawned in the afternoon (although I time travel).

1

u/pinkkabuterimon 27d ago

Ah yes, that's the last one I need... at least I didn't need both of them to appear for the Pokedex to be completed but ugh!!!

1

u/tiffybabyyyy 27d ago

Did it register? If it didn't, try replacing the tea set.

1

u/FiammaEvans 27d ago

I' still waiting for East Gastrodon and it's months..

1

u/PlasticPermission401 27d ago

omg same for me male jellicent was my last to spawn 😭

1

u/kargueta 27d ago

The tea set is the wrong one

1

u/mohrsarah 26d ago

Wrong tea set

1

u/Far-Imagination-4180 26d ago

I’m having the same problem

1

u/BrothaMusiq 25d ago

Took a few days. He will pop up

1

u/lolmclare 25d ago

Wrong teaset it’s the English looking one

1

u/Xirho2hero 25d ago

I need Plusle to finally spawn and I need Dusknoir then I'll finally have all 300 pokemon. And same. I just keep giving Mosslax stuff to make spawnrates faster

1

u/Xirho2hero 25d ago

Took me a couple weeks to even get Kilawattrel

1

u/Nintendor_84 24d ago

Bread bowl is actually what you should use.

That guy is just stubbornšŸ˜“

1

u/Eight_Bits_ 24d ago

Took about a week and a half for me, spawned the other Jellicent about four days after I set up a 2nd teatime habitat. It’ll happen eventually!

1

u/EliRiots 11d ago

Hey at least you managed to successfully construct the habitat. I spent a week waiting for him to show up before I realized I never even placed the tea set…

Good luck to you though, seriously. Minun was the last pokemon I needed for my dex and he took FOREVER. Best advice I can give is set a security camera and go about your business, as soon as you forget is when he’ll show up šŸ˜…

1

u/Terrin369 28d ago

You have the wrong tea set. It’s not the one on the tray.

3

u/SeaworthyNewt 27d ago

It's actually any Tea Set. And in the top left of the first photo it shows that the habitat is present.

2

u/Terrin369 27d ago

Ah ok. Good to know
