Where to find Dustox

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

Dustox can hatch from a Forest 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 Forest Egg can drop on Black Forest, Safari Zone, Jungle, Leaf Town, and Legend of Dawn. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
