Where To Get Larvitar, Pupitar & Tyranitar in Pokémon HGSS

Mt. Silver Cave Entrance in HeartGold

Wild Larvitar only appear in Mt. Silver’s cave and the Mountain Area of the Safari Zone.

That means you’ll need to wait until you’ve healed the sickly Ampharos in Olivine Lighthouse to add one to your team – or perhaps longer if you get unlucky with your initial Safari Zone areas.

Once you’ve got a Larvitar, they evolve into Pupitar starting at level 30. Then, when your Pupitar reaches level 55, it will become the mighty Tyranitar.

We’ll go into more detail on the exact catching locations and recommended movesets below.

Catching Your Larvitar

The best place to catch a Larvitar will depend on how far through the game you are.

The easiest location is Mt. Silver’s cave, but you’ll need all 16 gym badges to gain access.

If you want a Larvitar on your team before that point, the Safari Zone is your only option. Depending on which starting areas you’re randomly allocated, this approach becomes available from your 5th badge onward.

Location 1: The Safari Zone’s Mountain Area

After healing the sick Ampharos in Olivine Lighthouse, you’ll get a call from Baoba informing you the Johto Safari Zone is open for business.

This is your first opportunity to catch a Larvitar. Head to the Safari Zone, west of Cianwood City, to get started.

First, you’ll need to check to see if your Safari Zone came with a Mountain Area. There are 10 possible starting configurations, and only half include the Mountain Area. Which set you get is completely random.

The Mountain Area is the one pictured below.

If you started with the Mountain Area, great news!

Larvitar appear in the grass here as 10% of the wild encounters, although only in the morning or day time.

If you add 5 peak blocks, they’ll appear at higher levels and at all times of the day.

Catching Pokémon in the Safari Zone can be tough. Remember, throwing mud makes the wild Pokémon easier to catch, but more likely to flee. Bait makes them less likely to flee, but harder to catch.

If you didn’t start with a Mountain Area, you’ll need to complete both of Baoba’s challenges to unlock the Area Customizer. The second challenge is offered as a phone call three in-game hours after completing the first.

Once you’ve completed both, use the Area Customizer to add the Mountain Area and away you go.

Location 2: Mt. Silver’s Cave

If you’ve already beaten all 16 gyms, catching a Larvitar in Mt. Silver’s cave will be much simpler.

Start by flying to Victory Road.

Enter the building and take the left path. The guard will only allow you through if you’ve collected every badge.

You’ll emerge on the other side on Route 28.

Walk west for a short while until you reach the point pictured below.

The beginning of Route 28 / Pokémon HGSS

See those steps in the bottom-right of the picture above?

Climb them and carry on further west until you reach another set of steps.

The second set of steps on Route 28 / Pokémon HGSS

Climb these and walk a short distance north.

Before long, you should reach a Pokémon Center.

You’ll find the entrance to Mt. Silver’s cave just a little to the left of the Pokémon Center.

Once inside, Larvitar will appear as 5% of the wild encounters throughout the cave.

Wild Larvitar here are only level 15-20, so it may be a good idea to bring a similar-level Pokémon to weaken them easily.

The interior of Mt. Silver's cave / Pokémon HGSS

If you want to skip an evolution stage, wild Pupitar appear in a single specific room not far from the cave’s entrance. They will be at level 45 in HeartGold, and level 30 in SoulSilver.

To reach the room, Surf on the water immediately to your left when you enter Mt. Silver’s cave.

Climb the waterfall and you should see a cave entrance to your right. Pupitar make up 5% of the wild encounters in that small room.

Evolving Your Larvitar

Larvitar’s evolution methods don’t require any special items or unique approaches, just regular training.

Larvitar begin evolving into Pupitar at level 30.

Pupitar then begin evolving into Tyranitar at level 55.

Larvitar evolving into Pupitar / Pokémon HGSS

The Larvitar evolution line are HeartGold and SoulSilver’s pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

That means they have three evolution stages that happen at relatively high levels and end up with incredibly high stats in their final form.

As such, Larvitar and Pupitar may not be the strongest Pokémon around, but once they become Tyranitar, you have one of the strongest non-legendary Pokémon in the game at your disposal.

Tyranitar’s stats are excellently balanced.

Their monstrous Attack stat makes them devastating physical attackers, while their still-respectable Special Attack gives them a truly versatile mixed attacking potential. This is complemented by a wide-ranging offensive movepool.

Their formidable bulk makes them even more dangerous.

Their HP, Defense, and Special Defense stats are naturally high – with the Sandstorm caused by their Sand Stream ability further raising their Special Defense by 50%.

The one area Tyranitar lacks in is Speed.

However, this is more than negated by their other strengths.

Tyranitar can play purely offensive, mixed, or supporting roles on your team. They can set up powerful hazards in the form of Stealth Rocks, buff themselves with Dragon Dance, and automatically set up Sandstorm to support weather-based team synergy.

The Whirl Islands, where players can catch a wild Horsea (HGSS)

Johto Safari Zone

Johto Safari Zone Map.png

The Johto Safari Zone (Japanese: サファリゾーン Safari Zone ) is a special Pokémon preserve where Trainers can catch certain types of Pokémon. The Johto Safari Zone made its debut appearance in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver , where it was shown to be located northwest of Cianwood . It is located at the Safari Zone Gate , a bazaar that sprung up due to the Safari Zone's popularity. It is owned by Baoba , the owner of the former Kanto Safari Zone , which was, by then, made into a Pal Park by his son.

For $ 500, the player will receive 30 Safari Balls . Akin to previous Safari Zones, there is a large area to cover, but the six areas of the Zone can uniquely be rearranged to suit the player. Also, there is no time or step limit to how long the player can try to catch Pokémon. The only ways to leave are to retire, to walk back through the entrance or to run out of Safari Balls.

When a wild Pokémon appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it; catching Pokémon here, as in most Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, run away, and throw Mud. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch, while throwing Mud does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

The Safari Zone can only be accessed once the player has healed the sick Ampharos , Amphy , in Olivine City 's lighthouse .

This Safari Zone works identically to the Great Marsh : Pokémon are made easier or harder to catch by modifying the catch rate of a Pokémon. Each Pokémon appearing in the Safari Zone also has an escape rate, representing the probability that they flee from battle; a Pokémon's escape rate is identical across all Generation IV games (however, their escape rates are not defined in games which they cannot be found in their Great Marsh or Safari Zone). As a rule of thumb, Pokémon at higher evolutionary levels generally have lower escape rates.

At the start of an encounter, both the catch rate and escape rate are set to their species defaults. When Bait is thrown, it lowers the escape rate by one stage, but has a 90% chance of also lowering the catch rate by one stage. When Mud is thrown, it raises the catch rate by one stage, but has a 90% chance of raising the escape rate by one stage. Stages for catch rates and escape rates work identically to stat stages : they can be raised as high as +6 and as low as -6, where 0 is the starting stage; multipliers at each stat stage also work identically.

At the end of each turn, a random number between 0 and 255 is generated. If it is less than the modified stat stage, the Pokémon escapes.

Base flee rates

catch larvitar safari zone soulsilver

Like the Safari Zone in Hoenn and Great Marsh in Sinnoh , the Johto Safari Zone has six areas, which are inhabited by different Pokémon. A feature unique to this Safari Zone, however, is the customization of these areas. Each of the six areas may be placed in any arrangement the player desires. This is a useful function, as it means the player does not have to traverse to the furthest area from the entrance to get the Pokémon living in it. This is taken even further due to the fact that there are 10 unique defaults from the moment the Safari Zone is unlocked.

Customization happens on the Nintendo DS touch screen. By dragging and sliding the tiles with the stylus, the player can move them with ease. The exits to each area are arranged so that every conceivable arrangement of areas is possible: up to 2,985,984. In each specific area, the player can choose from several different objects and put up to 30 into the area, which can potentially draw out rarer Pokémon, Pokémon not found in the area, or Pokémon not found in the zone any other way. The specific layout of the Safari Zone may be shared by multiple players at one time, like other events in Generation IV , through record mixing or by using the Safari Zone Link.

Default area layouts

There are ten possible layouts that the areas can be arranged in by default when the player first reaches the Safari Zone. Between the ten default layouts, all of the areas are utilized at least once with the exceptions of the Desert and Rocky Beach areas; each default arrangement positions the Peak area right in front of the entrance. Six more areas can be added once Baoba 's second challenge is assigned to the player.

First Challenge

When the player first visits the Safari Zone, its owner, Baoba , will give the player their first challenge of finding and catching a Geodude inside of the Safari Zone. No matter which of the 10 possible default Safari Zone area set-ups is in use, the Peak Area where Geodude can be found is always the first area that the player enters.

Second Challenge

Three game-play hours after completion of the first challenge, Baoba will call the player and give them their second challenge. The point of this challenge is to get the player to use the Area Customizer, a machine that allows the player to move around and order the different areas of the Safari Zone. Using the Area Customizer to add the Desert Area, the player must catch a Sandshrew . When Baoba is shown a captured Sandshrew, he makes the player the new Safari Zone Owner.

After the player has both received the National Pokédex from Professor Oak , and 3 hours of gameplay have passed after completion of Baoba 's second challenge, Baoba will call the player to tell them that he has come up with a new idea for the Safari Zone. After receiving this call, the player will be able to place blocks in each active area of the Safari Zone. Each active area can contain up to 30 blocks at one time. Initially, the player will have access to only 6 block items. After another 3 hours of gameplay, Baoba will call the player again and add 6 new blocks. This cycle will repeat 2 more times until the player has been granted access to all 24 different block items.

Area upgrades

Each area of the Safari Zone keeps a hidden counter which tracks how many days it has been active. It adds 1 day to the count at midnight (00:00). After an area has been active for a predetermined number of days, it will be upgraded. Each upgrade acts as a multiplier for one block type within an area. For example, a Plains block in an area with no upgrades counts as a single Plains block point. A Plains block in an area with one Plains upgrade counts as two Plains block points. Baoba may call to notify the player when this occurs, however, the upgrade comes into effect regardless of whether the call has been received. The upgrades cannot be reverted once obtained, even if the player moves the area out of the current rotation or removes the blocks.

The invisible day counter for each active area of the Safari Zone is tied to the internal game clock of the system. Playing the game every day is not necessary to advance the counter as long as the game is used in the same system. If the game detects a different clock (either by changing the date or time or by booting the game in a different system), the counter will freeze for 24 hours after saving. If the clock was set one or more days forward, the counter doesn't advance to match the number of skipped days, but resumes counting from where it left off before the penalty period. The counter never resets to 0.

Many Pokémon are found in the Safari Zone with no additional input needed by the player. Other Pokémon will only appear if certain block objects are placed within each area. For example, Fearow will not appear in the Peak area unless there are five Forest objects placed in the Peak area. Some Pokémon need two types of block objects in order to appear. For example, Vigoroth requires both Plains and Forest objects.

The area upgrade mechanic within the Safari Zone is key to being able to encounter the more rare Pokémon types. For example, to encounter a Bagon within the Swamp area, the player must have unlocked the block capability and received enough notifications from Baoba that both Peak and Forest block items are available for placement. The Swamp area must then be made an active area within the Safari Zone for 110 days. This quadruples the block score for each forest block and triples it for each peak block placed within it. The player can then place 19 peak blocks (19 × 3 = 57) and 9 forest blocks (9 × 4 = 36), which achieves the required scores of 56 and 35 respectively to enable Bagon.

All encounter slots in the Safari Zone are 10% each. The block-based encounters will replace topmost available slot, with higher ID being prioritized. For example, having 5 points of Plains blocks and 10 points of Forest blocks in Wetland will cause the game to insert Farfetch'd , Furret and Pachirisu in grass encounter slots 1, 0, and 2, respectively.

The Safari Zone is not listed as a Pokédex area. Any Pokémon that can be encountered only here will have the area listed as "AREA UNKNOWN".

Additionally, when generating Pokémon's IVs , the game will reroll the numbers up to 4 times if none of the IVs are at 31.

If the player keeps track of every area's counter and changes them optimally, they can unlock and obtain every evolution family exclusive to the Safari Zone by waiting 100 days (see the left side of the table). However, to unlock every species in every area, the player has to wait 140 days. The Pokémon on the right side of the table become available earlier through evolution or breeding of encounters from other areas.

Pokémon Adventures

Heartgold & soulsilver arc.

In Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down , Silver ventured to the newly opened Safari Zone after hearing about it from Clair . There he participated in a Safari Game, during which he was attacked by an Arbok and he countered its attack. In the midst of battle, Eusine stopped him and lectured him about the rules of the Safari Zone, which prohibit attacking the wild Pokémon. Silver, who had recently found out about Plates , showed Eusine a Plate he has found at Whirl Islands , but did not get any reaction out of him other than confusion. His actions were, however, seen by Petrel , who attacked him and Eusine with his army of Koffing . During the following battle, Petrel revealed information about the Plates and that he defeated Lance . The battle ended as Petrel left and Silver stole the Plates he had managed to find. Some time after, Silver encountered Crystal , who was on a field trip with the children from Earl's Pokémon Academy , and they decided to travel to Ecruteak City together.

  • Johto did not have a Safari Zone in Generation II . However, an unused and incomplete map of the Kanto Safari Zone still exists in the code of the Generation II games. In its tall grass, there are no Pokémon, but some are available by fishing.
  • The number of Pokémon species that can be acquired in this Safari Zone is by far the largest quantity in the main series to date, and includes several species that were never before available in the wild, most notably Shelgon , Metang , Breloom , Vigoroth , and Riolu .
  • This is the only Safari Zone which the player can customize.
  • This is the first Safari Zone in which there is no step limit. The Hoenn Safari Zone in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire also does not have a step limit.
  • The two construction workers outside of the Safari Zone, in the Safari Zone Gate , imply that they are the ones who move the Safari Zone areas; they mention that most people would think a complicated system would be in place, as well as complaining about aches and pains.
  • Should the player use a wallhack to walk through the Safari Zone Gate without going through reception first, the Safari Zone will be 6 plain squares and the only Pokémon that will show up is a level 20 Rattata . However, the battle will go as it would anywhere else, instead of bringing up the Safari Zone's catching interface.
  • A graphical glitch occurs in the Swamp area. Four tiles at the top of the grassy patch appear to be empty at first, but when the player (or their partner Pokémon ) walks over the tiles, tall grass will appear underfoot.

You can find it in the mountain area in the Safari Zone. It will only show up in the morning and afternoon but it is rare to find. You can also find it in the poke walker in the Rugged Road.

Isn't it also in Mt. Silver? Or did they change Pokemon locations in the new generation? I know it was in Mt. Silver in the original version of the game...

Weird permitted domain -- moscow-integration.dcc2.svc.ca2.internal.zone

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some help or information regarding a domain I noticed in pi-hole earlier this week. For some reason pi-hole is permitting the domain moscow-integration.dcc2.svc.ca2.internal.zone and I cannot find any information regarding its origin or the application that is trying to access that domain.

My pi-hole is setup as the primary DNS on my router so all the traffic I see in the dashboard comes from either 192.168.1.1 or localhost so unfortunately I can't see what client is trying to hit that domain.

Would anyone have any idea/information regarding the moscow-integration.dcc2.svc.ca2.internal.zone domain? I have since blacklisted the domain on my pi-hole.

Screenshot_2020-08-02 Pi-hole - raspberrypi3

Blocking this domain has no effect, since the domain does not exist on the internet. With or without blocking, the domain won't be resolved to an IP.

You have several options to show individual IP's on your Pi-hole, which would assist in determining the source of the queries.

You can also turn of clients one at a time until the requests stop, then the last client turned off is the source.

Thank you jfb, I really appreciate your response. I enabled the DHCP on my pi-hole and now I can see which client is trying to hit what domain. Oddly, the weird domain ( moscow-integration.dcc2.svc.ca2.internal.zone ) appears to be coming from my wifes iphone... Will continue to investigate but this is a good start.

Thanks again.
