Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield may have a fraction of all the Pokémon but were the first to introduce the pseudo-legendary Dreepy. This cute, elusive Pokémon makes the gameplay more thrilling (if not patience-testing) because finding it can be challenging.
However, your efforts pay off because Dreepy eventually becomes a mighty attacker with excellent offensive power. What does Dreepy evolve into? How and at what level does Dreepy evolve? Most importantly, how can you catch it? Read on to find out.
Dreepy is a dual-type, lingering pseudo-legendary Pokémon. He was a dragon in prehistoric times but now wanders the Galar region as a ghost, roaming the areas it once called home.
It’s among the rarest Pokémon, with a 1% chance of spawning in overcast weather and a 2% chance in a fog or thunderstorm. As if that finicky behavior wasn’t enough, Dreepy likes to hide in tall grass, making spotting it seem impossible.
It’s also immune to Normal and Fighting moves, but Dragon, Ghost, Ice, Dark, and Fairy moves can weaken it, enabling you to catch the Pocket Monster.
Dreepy evolves into Drakloak, a caretaker Pokémon that can fly faster than 120 mph and pass through its opponents’ strikes and barriers. You’ll never see it without Dreepy, its loyal companion whom Drakloak cares for obsessively to ensure it grows up safely.
Drakolak evolves into Dragapult, a stealth Pokémon that can become transparent and launch the two Dreepy Pokémon from its horns like supersonic missiles. However, they don’t mind, especially when Dragapult makes them invisible.
At what level does Dreepy evolve? It becomes Drakloak at level 50 and turns into the mighty Dragapult at level 60.
You can find Dreepy in Pokémon Sword and Shield by crossing the Lake of Outrage in the northern Wild Area, just east of Hammerlocke Hills and north of the Giant’s Cap. You’ll see tall grass patches where Dreepy resides in its preferred weather conditions (when it’s not sunny).
However, you can only cross the Lake of Outrage with a Rotom Bike. Once you obtain it on Route 5, you must defeat Gordie, the Circhester gym’s leader, thus getting your sixth gym badge. Then, head to Route 9 to upgrade the bike, enabling it to ride on the water.
Once you meet these prerequisites, you can embark on a mission to catch Dreepy between levels 50 and 52. Here’s how.
Dreepy’s habitat isn’t the only place to catch this highly sought-after Pocket Monster in Pokémon Sword and Shield. You can also get it in raid dens and breed it in a nursery. Here’s how to add it to your Pokédex with all three methods.
Dreepy may be a pseudo-legendary Pokémon (you can find it multiple times), but its picky nature regarding weather conditions can test your patience. However, you can change the weather to catch Dreepy in its habitat faster.
Here’s how to find and catch Dreepy in Pokémon Sword and Shield:
Congratulations! You caught Dreepy! The Pocket Monster will automatically go to your Pokédex.
Another way to get Dreepy is to breed it in a Pokémon Nursery. That requires one male and one female Drakloak, which you can find on the Lake of Outrage between levels 55 and 58.
Fortunately, they aren’t picky about the weather, but their spawn rates are identical to Dreepy’s. As for the sunny weather, you have a 1% chance of locating them.
Here’s how to breed and hatch Dreepy in Pokémon Sword and Shield:
Alternatively, take your Drakloak couple to the Pokémon Nursery in Bridge Field. However, pack gym badges beforehand because mighty Pokémon might appear after the first bridge.
Your Dreepy will instantly hatch from the egg.
Pokémon dens are locations where you can join forces with three Trainers to fight Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokémon. Winning a Max Raid Battle provides valuable items like Rare and Experience Candies, Berries, Treasures, TRs (Technical Records), and Nuggets. You also have a 10% chance of encountering Dreepy and Drakloak and a 5% chance of getting Dragapult.
Axew’s Eye in the middle of Lake Axewell and Rolling Fields just south of it are your best bet for capturing Dreepy and its evolved versions in raid dens. Here’s what to do:
If you win the battle, you can choose whether or not to catch the Pokémon. Either way, you’ll get many valuable rewards (hopefully, your rare Dreepy or one of its upgraded versions).
Once your Dreepy reaches level 50, it will evolve into Drakloak. Leveling up requires feeding it Rare and Experience Candies, but you can also increase its battle experience.
Here’s how to evolve Dreepy in Pokémon Sword and Shield:
You don’t need to do anything else because Dreepy will automatically evolve into Drakloak.
The screen will instantly change to your Pokédex, showcasing the new Drakloak entry.
Unlike Dreepy and Drakloak, Dragapult doesn’t spawn in the wild. You can only get it by evolving Drakloak. Like with Dreepy, that requires leveling it up with battle experience and Experience and Rare Candy.
At what level does Drakloak evolve? It becomes Dragapult at level 60, shortly after transforming from Dreepy.
Here’s how to evolve Drakloak in Pokémon Sword and Shield:
Once your Drakloak reaches level 60, you’ll witness its magnificent evolution into Dragapult.
You’ll see a new Dragapult entry in your Pokédex within seconds.
Finding, catching, and evolving Dreepy in Pokémon Sword and Shield may take time, but your efforts will pay off, manifesting as a caring Drakloak and a stealthy Dragapult.
So, grab your Nintendo Switch and catch Dreepy on the Lake of Outrage in its favorite weather. Watch for Drakloak while exploring the area to capture its male and female versions and breed Dreepy in a Pokémon Nursery. Finally, visit Pokémon dens for Max Raid Battles because winning might enrich your Pokédex with Dreepy and its evolutions.If you have other problems, welcome to explorer in Dr.Fone.
