cant find squirtle?

[rahuliyengar]

Hi there - trying to find squirtle having completed restoration. Talked to the guy at the top of the stairs in the wasteland building a while ago when it was raining and kinda skipped through the dialouge, and then tried to tauros glitch over into the wasteland but realised i needed to first complete restoration for the restoration unit to glitch out. Now having done that, i went back to get squirtle and beldum (it is raining) only to find that squirtle is not at the pool where ive seen it before. I was able to find beldum just fine but reverted to a previous save as the wiki says I cant do squirtle ever again if I catch beldum first as doing beldum shuts off the tauros glitch:(

 

any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated:)

the guy at the stairs now keeps saying that "maybe if you ask around someone might have a lead" is there someone else i need to talk to?

The wiki's actually wrong about needing to get Squirtle before Beldum, you can get into the area without a Tauros by going back down a ladder that you go up in the nearby cave. As for why Squirtle wasn't appearing before, I can't really say for sure, maybe it was something like it was a thunderstorm when it needs to be just raining (though I don't know if that actually matters). Hope this helps!

The Squirtle event is one of the few outdated things on the wiki.

 

It needs to be raining for the guy in the building to appear, but then it needs to be clear weather for the Squirtle to appear. Also, you can get the Squirtle without the Tauros, in fact you can get it right after defeating Aya.

 

Use this very helpful guide to get the directions to it (Ctrl+F for "FSquirt1"):
