A Big Weedle Problem Walkthrough

  1. Catch the Alpha Weedle
  2. Keep or Give Away the Weedle

Catch the Alpha Weedle

Catch the Alpha Weedle
To complete this Side Mission, you will have to catch the Level 45 Alpha Weedle. Defeating it without catching it will just cause it to respawn.

It is ideal to use Fire or Rock-type Pokemon in this battle for the type advantage. Camerupt is a good choice, as it is immune to Electroweb thanks to its Ground type. You may obtain it by evolving Numel, which can be caught in Wild Zone 8.

Keep or Give the Weedle Away

Keep or Give the Weedle Away
You have the choice to keep the Alpha Weedle or to give it to Grandt.

If you give it away, you cannot take it back. There are no additional rewards for giving the Weedle away. However, it will appear and stay in the overworld.

A Big Weedle Problem Rewards

Alpha Weedle

Alpha Weedle
You may choose to keep the Alpha Weedle. Due to its high level, you have the choice to evolve it to Beedrill immediately.

You may also take this as your first step to getting a Mega Beedrill.
