Quick Links
When players choose their starter Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, they'll go through a tutorial sequence to battle against a Lechonk for the first time. After that, Nemona will tell players to meet her at the lighthouse in the distance, but in the meantime, players can try and catch a Tarountula.
Where to Find Tarountula
Tarountula is Bug-type Pokemon that resembles a spider inside some wool. Players should be able to find plenty of these critters on Poco Path. To start a battle with it, just walk up to it or throw a Poke Ball at it by pressing the ZR button. If players find a Tarountula hanging on a tree, they can use ZR to hit it, but they'll need to press ZL to aim correctly. Players can also crouch by pressing the B button and then stealthily approach the Pokemon to get the upper hand.
According to the Pokedex entry for Tarountula, it can be found in the southern region of Paldea.
What Level Does Tarountula Evolve Into Spidops?
For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players that want to use Tarountula in their party but are not sure when (or if) it evolves, do not fret. Tarountula can evolve into Spidops once it reaches level 15. It's normal for Bug-type Pokemon to evolve really fast, but its stats aren't the best for those looking for a team to take to Victory Road.
Tarountula and Spidops Stats
Even with the low stats, Spidops can learn some useful moves that can make it a viable party member. It learns Counter at level 24, which can reflect any physical damage two-fold, and it can also learn a cool move called Circle Throw at level 41 that can drag out a different Pokemon from the opponent's team. If the Fighting-type move is used on a wild Pokemon, it just ends the battle right there.
