Pokemon Scarlet & Violet adds a plethora of new Paradox Pokemon and one of the most powerful ones that has grabbed the attention of many has been an Entei ancestor, Gouging Fire. Paradox Pokemon is the latest category of Pokemon added as part of the Paldea region, and it is around whom the entire plot of the game revolves.
Depending on the edition players own, Paradox Pokemon are variants of regular Pokemon such as the likes of Delibird (Iron Bundle) and Donphan (Great Tusk). With the release of the Indigo Disk DLC, a few more of these Paradox variants of some Legendary Pokemon were added. Here is how to get Gouging Fire in the Indigo Disk DLC.
The Unwritten Rules of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC Explained
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC has added tons of content to the base game, with plenty of unwritten rules that define the journey.
How To Get Gouging Fire In Indigo Disk DLC
To get Gouging Fire players first need to complete Perrin's questline. Additionally, it should be noted that it is exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet. Most players would be well aware of who Perrin is, as she is one of the NPCs players will meet as part of the Teal Mask DLC. However, it is crucial to note that players first need to complete Perrin's quest in the Teal Mask DLC, otherwise they will not be able to proceed with this questline. The Teal Mask questline requires players to catch 150 Pokemon, after which they will be able to encounter the exclusive Bloodmoon Ursaluna in the game.
Once that's done and players have completed the introductory part of the Indigo Disk DLC, players will be able to find Perrin in Savanna Rest Area 1. This time around, the task is quite similar to the Kitakami questline once again, as players need to register 200 Pokemon in the Blueberry Academy Pokedex. This can take a bit of time, and there is no real way to speed past this requirement. All players need to do is try to free roam all across the Blueberry Academy and catch or evolve as many Pokemon as they can.
How To Find & Defeat Gouging Fire
After players have caught the required number of Pokemon and spoken with Perrin, they need to head to Area Zero and then find Research Station 3. Right outside the Research Station players will find an entrance to a cave. Upon getting on top of the cave entrance, players will be able to see a waterfall, and they need to get on top of the mountain from where the waterfall originates. Gouging Fire can be found right at the base of the waterfall.
Gouging Fire is weak to Rock, Ground, and Dragon-type attacks, so players need to focus on that in order to whittle down its HP. However, it is crucial to ensure that players save the game before attempting to catch it and that they do not knock it out entirely. Status effects such as sleep should also increase the chances of catching Pokemon, and considering the extremely low catch rate of legendaries, it is crucial to build the team around these moves.
