Guide Overview
Leafon is a rare Grass/Poison Assassin found in Forest Valley, the easiest habitat in the game and the starting area for most players. Forest Valley has Cloudy and Foggy weather windows, and Leafon appears as a rare branch in the later section at Night during Foggy weather. Leafon is the most accessible rare Pokemon for attentive players who monitor weather carefully.
Leafon is worth catching because Grass/Poison gives it excellent coverage for early and mid-game route planning. Players who grab Leafon early have an easier time with Forest Valley and can use it as a lead for Poison-type content later.
Step-by-Step Route
- 1
Check weather — Leafon appears in Forest Valley during Foggy weather at Night.
- 2
Enter Forest Valley and move past the early Bulbin and Thornvine sections.
- 3
Use Grass type bait for Leafon attraction — specific food listed on the Pokemon page.
- 4
Leafon appears as a rare branch encounter — multiple runs may be needed.
- 5
Exit after catching or when Foggy weather ends.
- 6
Forest Valley is easy difficulty — bring Honey Cake for capture rate rather than survival items.
Recommended Setup
- Recipe: Grass Heal — useful for the full Forest Valley route but does not replace attraction bait.
- Weather: Foggy at Night — Cloudy weather will not trigger Leafon.
- Route note: Thornvine appears earlier in Forest Valley — do not confuse it with the Leafon branch.
- Exit: Weather-based — exit when Foggy period ends.
Common Mistakes
- Entering Forest Valley during Cloudy weather — Leafon requires Foggy.
- Confusing Thornvine (common) with Leafon (rare) and wasting bait on the wrong branch.
- Using capture items meant for Pikafire or other Fire Pokemon — Leafon needs Grass-type bait.
