Finding Ekans

This violet viper emerges exclusively in sunlit hours within **Wild Zone 4**, requiring trainers to time their expeditions accordingly. Lysandre Labs also hosts these creatures post-Mission 35. While stealth approaches work best, persistent hunters might engage in combat to subdue them. A formidable Alpha variant presents an added challenge for experienced trainers.

The evolved Arbok inhabits **Wild Zone 10**, with additional sightings reported in Lysandre Labs post-story progression. Trainers can alternatively nurture their Ekans to Level 22 for natural evolution. Strategic use of evolutionary catalysts found throughout the game accelerates this transformation process significantly.
