Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: How to Get Gengar (NPC & Pincurchin Locations)

Obtain the powerful Ghost / Poison Pokémon early in Scarlet & Violet without the help of another player.

While not all Pokemon from previous games made a return in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, players have the opportunity to obtain fan favorite Gengar in these games with little effort. Traditionally, obtaining Gengar involves trading with another player for a Haunter, which evolves into Gengar post-trade.

The Pokemon Diamond & Pearl remakes revived the bitter memory of the infamous Mindy, an NPC who trades a Haunter equipped with an Everstone, thus blocking its evolution. Scarlet & Violet, however, avoids this trickery, providing a fair trade scenario. Here is the process to obtain Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet without needing to trade with a second player

Head to Levincia City

The journey to obtain a Gengar in Scarlet & Violet takes the player to the city of Levincia, renowned for its Electric-type Gym led by the enigmatic Iono. It’s here the player encounters Blossom, an NPC eager to exchange her Haunter for a Pincurchin.

The Pokemon in the areas around the city area are mainly level 22-28, so players will be able to head to the city and obtain this powerful Pokemon relatively early in their Scarlet & Violet experience.

Find and Catch a Pincurchin

The tiny sea urchin Pokemon Pincurchin can be found in several locations across Scarlet & Violet, spawning exclusively on Paldea’s beaches. To minimize travel, it is recommended to hunt for Pincurchin on the beaches in the East Province (Area Two), just outside of Levincia City. Directly south from Levincia, these beaches are teeming with Pokemon including Wiglett, Slowpoke, Marrill, and among many others, Pincurchin.

Finding and catching a Pincurchin, which are usually around level 23, may require some patience. Paldea’s beaches feature a massive variety of species that can spawn in these areas. Once the player has successfully caught a Pincurchin, they can head back to Levincia City.

Speak to Blossom in Levincia

Once Pincurchin is securely in the player’s party or boxes, head back to Levincia. Look for Blossom, a girl who is interested in a Pokemon trade. She can be found just outside the battle court at the city’s center, where players will encounter Nemona for a battle if they haven’t already fought her.

Blossom is standing near the wall wearing a tank top and sunglasses, and the player will notice a yellow text bubble above her head declaring, “A Pincurchin would be great!”

Trade Pincurchin for Haunter

Speak with Blossom and accept her offer to trade her Haunter, affectionately named “Hauntikins,” for a Pincurchin. Once the player chooses the Pincurchin they’ll offer, the trade process begins.

After successfully trading, Hauntikins will immediately evolve into Gengar. Regrettably, as is standard in the Pokemon series, the player cannot rename traded Pokemon. However, despite its unorthodox nickname, this Ghost / Poison type, armed with the ability Cursed Body, is a worthy addition to any team.
