Learn how to attract and catch wild Pokémon at Poke Spots in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Discover Pokémon locations, rarities, and trade rewards from Duking.

This guide covers the Poke Spots feature in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, explaining how to attract wild Pokémon, the different types of Pokémon found at each spot, and the rewards for capturing specific rare Pokémon.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Obtain Poke Snacks from Duking (10 initially).
  2. 2
    Place Poke Snacks on the plate at a Poke Spot.
  3. 3
    Leave the Poke Spot and wait for a wild Pokémon to appear.
  4. 4
    Use the Spot Monitor to be alerted when a Pokémon arrives.
  5. 5
    Go to the Poke Spot quickly before the Pokémon eats all the snacks and flees.
  6. 6
    The rarity of a Pokémon is indicated by the Spot Monitor's signal speed: slow signals mean Common, fast signals mean Rare/Super Rare.
  7. 7
    More Poke Snacks increase the duration a Pokémon stays, making it easier to catch.

    Additional Poke Snacks can be purchased from most Poke Marts after ONBS is liberated.

  • These Pokémon can be captured an unlimited number of times.
  • Duking can be found in his house in Pyrite Town after ONBS is liberated; it's marked by a 'G' on the outside, with an open door leading to a cave.
  • Herbal medicines can now be bought from the herbalist after her Munchlax no longer blocks the way.
