PSA: You can hatch a Sobble in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Just another Sobble story

The 7-Star Inteleon raid event in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is here, bringing the second Generation 8 starter to Paldea. That’s right, it’s not just Inteleon that’s new, but it’s pre-evolutionary forms as well. Here’s how to hatch your own Sobble in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Bring Inteleon and Ditto to a picnic

Just like previous raid monsters, you can get a Sobble egg by bringing Inteleon and Ditto to a picnic. For best results, remove all other Pokemon from your party to ensure Sobble will appear as an egg. This effectively circumvents the “only one Inteleon can be caught per save file” rule of the 7-Star raid, though baby Sobble won’t have the Mightiest Mark title. Use this trick to give your friends a Inteleon if they miss the event!

For more information, check out our guide to find Ditto here. We also have a detailed guide on egg hatching here. If you plan to hatch a lot of eggs, consider getting a Pokemon with the Flame Body ability as well.

In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Sobble still evolves into Drizzile at level 16, and Inteleon at level 35

As always, all you need to evolve your Sobble is good old level grinding. For best results, use your EXP Candies to level up Sobble fast. If you’ve run the 7-Star Inteleon Raid, there’s a good chance you have more than a few EXP items to spare.
