Spell Tag
# Method Repeatable?
1 Held item from Wild Pokemon (5% chance):

  • Shuppet – Route 121, Route 123, Mt. Pyre
  • Duskull – Mt. Pyre
  • Cofagrigus – Mirage Cave
Yes

Spell Tags can only be obtained as held items stolen from wild Shuppet, Duskull, or Cofagrigus. Each of these Pokémon only has a 5% chance of holding a Spell Tag, but you can use your DexNav to improve your odds.

Locations

Using Thief on a wild Duskull

Spell Tags can only be found on wild Shuppet, Duskull, or Cofagrigus.

  • Shuppet can be encountered anywhere on Route 121, Route 123, or Mt. Pyre’s interior and exterior.
  • Duskull can only be found in Mt. Pyre’s interior building.
  • Cofagrigus can be spotted on certain Mirage Caves, which can be accessed using the Eon Flute.

So if you head inside Mt. Pyre’s interior you’ll only find Duskull and Shuppet, making it a great farming location for a Spell Tag.

But when you encounter any of these wild Pokémon, there’s a 5% chance they will be holding a Spell Tag. To take the item you can use a Pokémon that knows TM46 Thief.

If you want more details on how to optimally farm held items from wild Pokémon then we have a separate page with details on building a custom item farming team.

Here are more details on the encounter rates for Mt. Pyre’s interior on all floors:
