Scripted wild battle (Lv 90), Route 47 — After the final Hall of Fame and Lance’s visit to your house in Pallet Town. See Prof. Hale and Molly release the beasts in the Burned Tower before rematching the Mt. Mortar expedition leader; winning that rematch first can permanently block them. Return to Will’s former device site in north-west Route 47. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.
