Where to find Xatu

Xatu is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Xatu can hatch from a Bloom Egg or a Dawn Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Bloom Egg can drop on Black Forest, Lava Beach, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Legend of Dawn. The Dawn Egg can drop on Haunted Mansion, Desert Beach, Safari Zone, and Foggy Wastelands. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
