Q: I'm sure that Vibrava can be found in Emerald, and if so, what route can it be found on? 🤔

...you cant

You have to evolve wee little Trapinch

Thanks Shibby! It's weird though, I have a booklet on all the pokemon evoloutions 2nd & 3rd generation, and it sais in there that Trapinch doesn't have an evoloution!

Maybe they didn't realise because Trapinch looks so different from Vibrava and Flygon, I mean, he's orange, has a fat little body, a huge head, not a dragon type (like them), and I wouldn't have guessed in a million years that he evolves into Vibrava! 😵 -scratches head- Gah all this stuff is confusing...

Yea those booklets are pretty unreliable, I have a couple and all the way through theres little notes I've written correcting the info
The only thing Trapinch and Vibrava have in common is they're both ground (with vibrava also part dragon) so no one would make the connection normally

I had the same problem too who thaught that Vibrava would be the evulution of Trapinch 😵

That's why it's really weird! I would think, normally, that those books would contain the correct information, but looks like we know more than they do! Actually, that's a really good idea to have notes on what's wrong, thanks for the idea! 💛

Raha is definately right, Trapinch stands out a mile from Vibrava and Flygon, even the average bear wouldn't know it! The person who suggested that Trapinch evolve into Vibrava must have been crazy at the time.

Yea, maybe they were just trying to trick us all

They've done it before though, the seemingly useless Magikarp becomes a magnificant sea serpent, Gyarados, and same with Feebas and Milotic

And it happened with me in Remoraid and Octillery
