Where to find Honedge

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

Honedge can hatch from a Mist 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 Mist Egg can drop on Frozen Cave, River Rafting, Electricity Hub, 0* Temperature, Leaf Town, and Foggy Wastelands. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
