Fish for a Wailmer at Dewford Town with a Super Rod. Head east from the Pokémon Center and walk out onto the nearby dock. Using your Super Rod, fish in the nearby water until you catch a bite. When Super Rod is equipped, you have a 100% chance of catching a Wailmer that’s between levels 20 and 45.[3]
Level up the Wailmer to level 40 so it evolves. Use items like Rare Candy, Lucky Egg, or EXP. Share to raise your Wailmer’s levels more quickly.[6] Once Wailmer levels up to 40, it’ll automatically evolve into a Wailord.[7]- Rare Candies automatically increase a Pokémon’s level by 1, while Lucky Eggs are held items to allow a Pokémon to earn some bonus EXP after a battle. An EXP. Share lets Pokémon in your party gain EXP from a battle, even if they didn’t actively participate.[8]
- If you catch a Wailmer that’s over level 40, level it up once to trigger its evolution.[9]
