Trade

Wild Encounters: Thanks to the 2025 Bug Out event, Dewpider will spawn more frequently in the wild from March 26-30.

Trade: Players unable to find a wild Dewpider can trade for one. However, this will require a lot of Stardust.

Additionally, if players are interested in further increasing their chances of encountering a wild Dewpider, they should go hunting in Rainy conditions, which will boost the Bug/Water type Pokemon's spawn rates.
