Beedrill Location
- Time: Day
Multiple Beedrill swarm the side of Cafe Ultimo that faces the garden, in the middle of Wild Zone 15. They are highly aggressive but relatively fragile.

A single Shuppet spawns in the middle of the garden, near the road. It can be easy to miss among the larger Pokemon, but it does not run away.
Haunter Location
- Time: Night
Haunter appears in the garden at night, next to the benches.
To evolve Haunter into Gengar, you'll need to trade it with a friend. However,
Gengar itself can be captured later in the main story.
Larvitar Location
- Time: Day/Night
Larvitar is located on the rooftops of Wild Zone 15. However, it is impossible to get to these rooftops from inside the zone. To reach there, you'll first need to unlock the Holovator on the building nearby (shown above) by completing Side Mission 80: A Shocking Territorial Dispute.
Side Mission 80 only unlocks in Main Mission 26: An Invitation From the SBC. During this mission, you'll need to visit a boutique to get a fashionable suit to go to the SBC event. Once you have acquired this suit, Side Mission 80 will appear next to the Holovator's location.
Complete Side Mission 80 by defeating the Manectric and Ampharos blocking the Holovator, and you'll be able to make it functional. Use the Holovator to teleport to the top of the building, then turn left and destroy the spider web sac to form a web bridge. Cross the bridge and enter Wild Zone 15's rooftop gate to find Larvitar.

A level 52 Alpha Gourgeist spawns near the eastern edge of Wild Zone 15, close to the boundary wall.

Alpha Banette Location
- Time: Night
A level 53 Alpha Banette appears directly in the middle of the garden at night.
Banettite is obtained as a reward for completing Main Mission 18 and should already be in your possession.
