There are quite a few Pokemon that have been released over the years, a handful of which never got a proper evolution. Dunsparce was released in generation II and, until this point, was a Pokemon that sat untouched. In Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, Dunsparce is able to evolve into Dundunsparce, an evolution that has already confused many players. Below we go over how to find Dunsparce, how to evolve Dunsparce into Dundunsparce, and what it takes to get the rare Dudunsparce three-segment form.

Where to Find Dunsparce in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet¶

Dunsparce isn’t incredibly hard to find and can be found in the early hours of the game. Here are all the areas where you can catch a Dunsparce in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

• South Providence Area Five
• South Providence Area Four
• South Providence Area Three
• West Providence Area Two
• North Providence Area Two
• Area Zero (Post-Game)

Dunsparce spawns in high amounts in Area Zero, but you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating him elsewhere. Thanks to his bright yellow and blue design, he is easy to spot slithering among the Paldean grass.

How to Get Dundunspace¶

Once you get your Dunsparce, you will need to level it to level 32 and allow it to learn the move, Hyper Drill. Once it has learned this move, it will evolve into Dundunsparce the next time you level it up. If you hit the wrong button or didn’t want your Dundunsparce to learn Hyper Drill, then simply follow our guide here to have it relearn the move.

If you want to skip leveling up a Dunsparce, then you can catch Dundunsparce in the wild once you unlock Area Zero. There are plenty of Dundunsparce wandering around in the lower sections of this area for you to catch.

How to Get Three-Segment Dundunsparce¶

There is a secret three-segment version of Dundunsparce in the game, but getting one is anything but easy. Math on how to get the three-segment form is all over the place. Many players say you have a 1 in 100 chance of obtaining its three-segment form. Other players have spent hours hatching and leveling a Dunsparce army, never to see the three-segment form.

Whether or not your Dundunsparce has two or three segments is determined by a hidden trait that you can’t see. Due to this, your best bet is to mate two Dunsparce or Dundunsparce parents with Hyper Drill to produce eggs. Once you have a set of five hatchlings, go to a high-level area and defeat a Pokemon to level them all up quickly. With any luck, you will get the Three Segment Dundunsparce.
