Capsakid lives exclusively in deserts and mountainous regions in Paldea. With this in mind, the main area to check is Asado Desert. You can safely access this area after your Pokemon reach around level 25. However, if you want to find this Pokemon a little earlier, you can check around West Province’s Area One and the northern parts of South Province Area Two. If you want a bit of a challenge, you can travel down to South Province’s Area Six and Alfornada for extra chances of finding Capsakid.

Make sure you’re keeping a close eye out while looking for Capsakid. This particular Pokemon is small in stature, making it difficult to spot in the wild. While it is a little bigger than a Foongus, it’s much smaller than many other desert-dwelling Pokemon.
