Quick Links
In one of the Indigo Disk’s teaser trailers, it was revealed that the starter Pokemon from Gen 1 to Gen 8 were going to make a return to Gen 9. This turned out to be exactly the case whenPokemon Scarlet & Violet’s part 2 of the expansion pass was released worldwide. However, the starter Pokemon won’t appear until you’ve completed a certain task beforehand.
Treecko is the Grass-type starter of the Hoenn region, and it’s one you will need to catch to fill out the Indigo Disk’s Blueberry Pokedex. If you start searching Terarium for Treecko on your first visit, you won’t find it. You’ll need to expand one of the biomes in Terarium to make it appear, or you can obtain Treecko via two other methods.
Where to Find Treecko in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Canyon Biome in Terarium (3000BP)
Treecko can be found on a mountain in the middle of theCanyon Biome. Specifically, this is thesame area where you will find Cranidos (Scarlet), Shieldon (Violet), and Skarmory. you’re able to get to this byheading east from theCanyon Plazaor theCanyon Rest Area. Use Koraidon/Miraidon to climb up the mountainside.
Before Treecko can appear,you will need to expand the Canyon Biome. This can be done by contributing3000BP to the Terarium Clubat theLeague ClubinBlueberry Academy. You will unlock this feature after you’ve met up with Carmine at theCentral Plaza. In order forthisto occur,you will need to complete the quest “The Way Home"and theKitakami/Teal Mask story. Otherwise, you won’t be contacted by Carmine, and therefore locking you from the League Club.
BP are short for Blueberry Points, which are an Indigo Disk-exclusive currency that can be earned and spent in Terarium and the League Club respectively.Blueberry Points are earned by completing Blueberry Quests (BBQs), which you unlock after completing yourfirst class in Terarium (Coastal Classroom). You will receive three BBQs at a time, and as you complete more of them, you’ll unlock BBQs that are more challenging, but give out more BPs. Since you will need3000BPjust to expand the Canyon Biome, you’ll want to save them as much as possible.
