How to Find Alpha Torterra

Crimson Mirelands - Holm of Trials
View Full Map Image

Fast travel to Bogbound Camp if you have access to it and head southwest from there. Otherwise, you can travel from Mirelands Camp and head southeast.

Use Basculegion or Wyrdeer to Get to the Other Side

You'll need a Basculegion to get to where Alpha Torterra is, but if you don't have one, you can find a narrow section of the river to hop over with Wyrdeer. You'll land in water but it's close enough to the coast for you to survive.

How to Catch Alpha Torterra

Use Smoke Bombs/Stealth Sprays and Razz Berries

The most important skill for catching wild Pokemon is being able to lure them with berries so that you have a clear shot on their back. Razz Berries make Pokemon easier to catch, so when combined with Heavy/Leaden/Gigaton Balls, they can make it very easy to catch Alpha Pokemon.

Repeatedly catch them unawares

This method of catching a Pokemon allows you to make use of the fact that your character can move freely during battle. Since it only involves going into battle, it requires less precision than the method that involves Smoke Bombs and Razz Berries.

Additionally, this method allows you to continuously have the Alpha Pokemon be caught unawares, so even if your Pokemon is at a much lower level than the Alpha Pokemon, you'll be able to damage them, run, catch them unawares, then repeat in a loop until their HP is low enough to easily catch them.
