Scarlet Paradox Pokémon Scream Tail

Learn where to find and how to catch the Scarlet exclusive Paradox Pokémon, Scream Tail, in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Tips for catching this ancient creature in Area Zero.

Alright, so you're looking for Scream Tail in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Awesome! This little guy is a Scarlet exclusive Paradox Pokémon, meaning you'll only find it in the game's mysterious Area Zero. Think of Paradox Pokémon as ancient versions of familiar Pokémon, but with a twist – different types and moves. Since you're playing Scarlet, Scream Tail is one of the 'Ancient' types.

First things first, you can't just waltz into Area Zero. You'll need to have completed the main story quests: Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends. Once you've wrapped up the story in Area Zero, you can head back there anytime by fast traveling to the Zero Gate. Easy peasy!

Now, finding Scream Tail is actually pretty straightforward. They tend to hang out in the open areas and caves within Area Zero. You'll have a good chance of spotting them near Research Stations No. 1 and No. 2. The Scream Tails you'll encounter will be anywhere from Level 54 to 58, depending on the exact spot. Sometimes they can be a bit tricky to catch, so I always recommend having a good stock of Ultra Balls – they really help seal the deal!
