The Generation VI favorite is finally making its return after being overlooked in Generation IX, where it was unobtainable, and presents a new chance for many players to add the beloved frog to their collection.

To be able to find Froakie in the wild inside the Terarium, you need to upgrade the Coastal Biome. To do this, travel to the main entrance of Blueberry Academy, walk toward the barriers, and then select “League Club Room” from the list of options.

Inside the League Club Room, you can find a computer on the left-hand side. Interact with it, select “Contribute BP”, and scroll through the options that appear until you see the one that says “Boost biodiversity in the Coastal Biome,” which will be under “Terarium Club”. It costs 3,000 BP so if you don’t have enough, complete quests to find more. Once the upgrade is unlocked, travel to the Coastal Biome and hunt for Froakie. It spawns mainly in the northern part biome and is easy to spot due to its hopping movement. If you’re having trouble finding one, leave the area and return to trigger respawns.
