Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC has brought back multiple Pokemon from previous generations. With 200 Pokemon, this bringsScarlet/Violet’s initial 400 to a total of 600 Pokemon to catch in Paldea/Kitakami. There’s no doubt more Pokemon will be added for the release of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero’s The Indigo Disk.
Returning for Gen 9, Aipom and its evolution, Ambipom, are Normal-type Pokemon exclusive toPokemon Violet. This isn’t the first time, and certainly not the last, where Pokemon were version-exclusive, as it has been an aspect ofPokemonsinceRed/Blue. Unfortunately forPokemon Scarletplayers, they’ll need to get Aipom and Ambipom to complete the Kitakami Pokedex.

How to Get Aipom
Pokemon Violetplayers can find Aipom just about anywhere in Kitakami, but the closest place to look isReveler’s Road, which is to theeast of Mossui Town. It can also be found on the mountains nearKitakami Hall. Aipom’s level will be scaled to match the player’s progress in the main story. Those that have completedPath of Legends, Victory Road, and Starfall Streetwill find Aipomsaround level 57. Those that are still in the progress ofSV’s campaign will instead find Aipomsaround level 10.
Aipom may take a Great Ball or Ultra Ball to catch. If trainers are getting the low-level Aipoms, they can try and use aNest Ballto catch it. This is a Poke Ball that has a higher catch rate when used on Pokemon that are lower-leveled.
Aipom and Ambipom can both be caught in Tera Raids in Kitakami. However, Ambipom is exclusive to5-star and 6-star Tera Raids. Both of these are accessible by completing the main story and postgame respectively.
