Some particular Pokémon are evasive and mysterious, so here is where to find Spiritomb in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It's a lot easier than how we had to go about getting this keystone ghost decades ago, but you're still unlikely to happen upon it by chance.
Introduced back in Generation 4, Spiritomb is the collection of 108 spirits, tied to an Odd Stone in order to keep it in check. It is out to create havoc and force others to do misdeeds. It is both Ghost and Dark-Type, and as such, is a useful addition to any team.
