Where to find Budew

Budew can appear as a wild Pokémon on Safari Zone. See how to catch a Pokémon.

Budew can hatch from a Forest 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 Forest Egg can drop on Black Forest, Safari Zone, 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.
