How to Get Walking Wake in Pokemon Scarlet

To nab yourself a Walking Wake in Pokemon Scarlet, you gotta be a bit patient because it's part of a post-game event. First, make sure you've beaten the main storyline. Then, you'll need to get the 'Mysterious Message' item from a scientist named Jacq at the academy. After that, head to the Research Station located in Area Zero and gear up for a battle because Walking Wake won't join your team without a fight!

Actually, Walking Wake isn't that hard to catch once you know what you're doing. I managed to snag mine after completing the main story and doing some specific post-game quests which led me to Casseroya Lake. Didn't even take that long tbh.

Walking Wake, that majestic creature, isn't just hanging around ready to join your team by chance. Nope, you gotta put in the work. First up, make sure you've beaten the game - that's right, become the champion of the Pokemon league. Then, you'll need to get the 'Blue Jewel' which is part of post-game content. Once you've secured that shiny jewel, head over to Casseroya Lake. Here, you'll engage in a specific event that will finally let you battle and catch Walking Wake. Good luck, you're gonna need it!

Hot take: Just trade for it. I mean, sure, the excitement of catching Walking Wake on your own is cool and all, but if you're not about that life, find someone who's willing to trade. Saves time and you can focus on other parts of the game.
