How To Catch Lechonk

Catching Lechonk is not that hard. After you have obtained the Pokémon early on in the game, you need to start your first battle while having Nemona on your side.

You will have to fight Lechonk in Poco Path. Now all you need to do is catch it with a Poke Ball. In case you fail to do so, don’t worry, as you will be able to obtain Lechonk in that area as well. 

Generally, it is most commonly found in the Paldea region of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. However, make sure to take a look at some of the locations we have mentioned above as well in the southern and southwestern areas in case you are unable to find them in Paldea. 

How To Evolve Lechonk Into Oinkologne  

It is a normal type Pokémon which is an evolved version of Lechonk. The major difference between the two is probably their size. However, keep in mind that the female and male versions of the Pokémon vary in colors. The female is brown in color, while the male has a dark blue-grey color.

You will be able to evolve Lechonk into Oinkologne by reaching Level 18 through training. If you want to reach level 18 quickly in Pokémon, we recommend that you train as much as you can.

Training

The best place to train is definitely Area One and its surrounding region, where you might also be able to find Lechonk himself. In order to unlock the region, you just have to select your starter in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

The best part about the training room is that there are a lot of rival trainers skilled enough for you to farm a large source of XP for Lechonk with it. Therefore, you will be able to progress with Lechonk fairly fast through training.  

But that is not all. You will also get a chance to obtain several other Pokémon while looking for Lechonk. It is no doubt that Lechonk is one of the best Pokémon to obtain early on in the game. You will be able to overpower other Pokémon during battles by learning moves like Dig. These moves are available before evolution and will help you out a lot throughout the game. Moves like Dig can be unlocked at Level 17. 

Type Of Oinkologne 

When you evolve Lechonk into Oinkologne at level 18, the type of Oinkologne you get will depend on the gender of Lechonk you evolved. Here are the details:

  1. Male Lechonk Evolves into Oinkologne with Abilities:
    • Lingering Aroma: This ability allows Oinkologne to consume any berries it’s holding when its health drops below 50%. It effectively uses the held berries to recover health.
    • Gluttony: Gluttony is another ability that Oinkologne may have. It makes Oinkologne consume its held berries earlier than usual, making them more effective in battle.
  2. Female Lechonk Evolves into Oinkologne with Ability:
    • Aroma Veil: Instead of Lingering Aroma, female Oinkologne has Aroma Veil. This ability prevents Oinkologne and its allies from having their stats lowered by the moves of opposing Pokémon. It protects against moves that reduce stats like Attack, Defense, Speed, etc.

Both male and female Oinkologne have the hidden ability “Thick Fat.” This ability reduces damage from Ice-type and Fire-type attacks by 50%, increasing their survivability in battles.

The decision to evolve a male or female Lechonk into Oinkologne depends on your preferences and the abilities you want to utilize in your gameplay.

Moves Of Oinkologne  

The best part of the evolved form called Oinkologne of Lechonk is that it is capable of dealing a lot of damage to opposing Pokémon. Even though it is just a normal type of Pokémon, there are some great moves for it to learn.

In order to learn these moves, you just need to level up Oinkologne in the game. While using the moves, make sure that you use them in the best way possible to deal maximum damage. A good strategy is to use moves that are the same as the Pokémon.
