However, this becomes possible only after you get 3,000 Battle Points by completing quests throughout the Terrarium. You can actually do this before you finish\u00a0The Indigo Disk\u00a0and face Terapagos, which comes after you defeat the BB Elite Four and finish some bonus battles in the area. All you need are enough Battle Points\u00a0to upgrade this Biome in the Terarrium, which is a one-time upgrade. If you want to catch Charmander first, you should focus on Savanna. This also lets you find and catch starters Sobble, Rowlet, Snivy, and Totodile. How to upgrade the Savanna biome and unlock Charmander in Pok\u00e9mon SV The Indigo Disk To get Charmander to spawn in The Indigo Disk, you need to upgrade the Savanna biome. This requires 3,000 Battle Points, which you can spend using the PC inside the League Club. Without this upgrade, Charmander won't appear. To gather Battle Points quickly, focus on completing BB quests, accessible by pressing right on the D-Pad. Gathering 3,000 BP may seem daunting, but it's a necessary step to catch Charmander. Charmander's exact location in the Pok\u00e9mon SV The Indigo Disk Charmander appears\u00a0in the central and southern regions of the Savanna biome\u00a0in\u00a0The Indigo Disk. This is shown in detail in its Blueberry Pok\u00e9dex page. It roams like any other Pok\u00e9mon in the game. To boost your chances of encountering Charmander, particularly for shiny hunting, using a sandwich with Encounter Power: Fire is highly recommended. This significantly increases Charmander spawn rates in the area, making it easier to find and potentially catch a shiny version. Correction Dec. 14 10:45am CT:\u00a0A previous version of this story incorrectly said you needed to have completed the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet\u00a0and\u00a0Violet The Indigo Disk\u00a0DLC to be able to upgrade biomes and find Charmander.

However, this becomes possible only after you get 3,000 Battle Points by completing quests throughout the Terrarium. You can actually do this before you finish\u00a0The Indigo Disk\u00a0and face Terapagos, which comes after you defeat the BB Elite Four and finish some bonus battles in the area. All you need are enough Battle Points\u00a0to upgrade this Biome in the Terarrium, which is a one-time upgrade. If you want to catch Charmander first, you should focus on Savanna. This also lets you find and catch starters Sobble, Rowlet, Snivy, and Totodile. How to upgrade the Savanna biome and unlock Charmander in Pok\u00e9mon SV The Indigo Disk To get Charmander to spawn in The Indigo Disk, you need to upgrade the Savanna biome. This requires 3,000 Battle Points, which you can spend using the PC inside the League Club. Without this upgrade, Charmander won't appear. To gather Battle Points quickly, focus on completing BB quests, accessible by pressing right on the D-Pad. Gathering 3,000 BP may seem daunting, but it's a necessary step to catch Charmander. Charmander's exact location in the Pok\u00e9mon SV The Indigo Disk Charmander appears\u00a0in the central and southern regions of the Savanna biome\u00a0in\u00a0The Indigo Disk. This is shown in detail in its Blueberry Pok\u00e9dex page. It roams like any other Pok\u00e9mon in the game. To boost your chances of encountering Charmander, particularly for shiny hunting, using a sandwich with Encounter Power: Fire is highly recommended. This significantly increases Charmander spawn rates in the area, making it easier to find and potentially catch a shiny version. Correction Dec. 14 10:45am CT:\u00a0A previous version of this story incorrectly said you needed to have completed the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet\u00a0and\u00a0Violet The Indigo Disk\u00a0DLC to be able to upgrade biomes and find Charmander.
