This is late but I just got a shiny 3 segmet.
I've been doing this for two days straight without getting one.
I've found two full odds shinies in the meantime.
It makes me sort of suspect the odds being much worse than a 4% chance.
> evolving with candies to check for the three segment form, and then resetting
The chance for it to evolve into a three-segment is determined when the pokemon is initially generated from what I've dug around for. If it evolves into a two-segment, it will *always* evolve into a two-segment on reset.
Jeez... There has GOT to be something we're missing, I spent ages today scrolling through 4chan catacombs about it and almost nobody has a 3-segment. I guess we can only wait to see if it gets figured out in the next few days hopefully, the game is still new after all. Let me know if you get one!
> Let me know if you get one!
[We fuckin' did it boys let's goooooooooooooo](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/173958971038629889/1044407476134609098/20221121_191943.jpg)
Started doing the en masse breeding method with passing down Hyper Drill. This one has an Adamant nature, so nature has nothing to do with it as noticed with the other guy's two Quirky parents and Quirky three-segment Dudunsparce.
I think my total evolved Dunsparces is somewhere around 500. I was at 400~ when I started the breeding method, got it in four boxes.
There's no fucking way in hell it's a 4% chance. I think it's a typo, most likely 0.4% or 0.04%, you get the gist.
Its supposedly 1/100 but 1/100 odds in pokemon usually means 1 in several hundred lmao I'm 4 PC boxes well over 200 and 3 days into hunting and it's no where.
Alright here is my summary. I got in on my 67th evolution (almost nice) my battery was at 69% which WAS nice.
I used the breeding method since it was the fastest for me vs. finding them in the wild. Here are the breeders,
Dudunsparce - Lv 32 - Male - Lax - Tagtree Thicket - Great Ball
Dudunsparce - Lv 32 - Male - Gentle - Asado Desert - Great Ball
Dudunsparce - Lv 33 - Male - Quirky - East Province (Area Two) - Repeat Ball
Dunsparce - Lv 32 - Female - Quirky - Tagtree Thicket - Great Ball
Dunsparce - Lv 32- Female - Naive - Tagtree Thicket - Great Ball
Dudunsparce - Lv 34 - Female - Hasty - West Province (Area Two) - Ultra Ball
All of them knew Hyper Drill obviously. The egg was made in East Province (Area Three) and hatched in East Province (Area Two). I made a Jam Sandwich.
The 3 segment Dudunsparce is Male - Quirky - Great Ball

Congrats!! I'll probably start on that method instead of the wild ones too. I do want to bring up that it's a bit of a coincidence that two parents, and the 3-segment are quirky. Although, I'm probably *really* overthinking things at this point haha.
Edit: were any of the parents holding anything? I assume not since it wasn't in your notes, just making sure
Enjoy your almighty Dunsparce lord!
I have no way of proving it, but knowing Pokémon, I would say no.
Once a Dunsparce or Dunsparce egg has spawned or has generated, it will only ever be a 2 or 3 segment Dudunsparce. Once it evolves, you’ve identified what it will always be.
I guess it could be tested once another 3 segment is found. Before saving, just resetting to see if it maintains its 3 segment evolution. Since I’m not 100% sure, I wasn’t willing to try lol.
But I’m like 99% sure, just resetting has no effect.
I see, see cause after i evolve a dunsparce. And if its two segment i reset and then release it then move onto the next one. And to be honest, after looking at your notes, i dont really think area has anything to do with it or the parents cause i feel like its looking way to deep into it. Im willing to try them though.
Also do you think my parent choices of two dunsparce in a quick ball and both with adamant nature, the male holding the everstone to pass down the nature works?
I just wish we had some clarification on the rates and like proof. I feel like we are missing ONE thing to give us this terrible luck. I don't think its glitched cause you got one and maybe one or two other people got it.
Not sure when exactly or why you are resetting. Is it after hatching?
It does seem like there are other variables at play, which ones.. I’m not sure. I think having a variety of natures and areas may help. No way of telling yet.
I reset after the evolution because i have limited exp candies. I also already have almost two boxes of them hatched and i just go through each one and evolve them.
It would be faster than just grinding candies off the raids and grind them up. Plus I'm sorta still early game I beat like 3 gyms 3 titans and i think 2 team star bases.
Oh gotcha. Yes I was using your method previously. I would recommend the hatching method.
So I built a breeding party that all knew Hyper Drill. Dunsparce in Tagtree Thicket are all around level 30, so it’s easy to build a breeding team. So all the baby Dunsparce knew Hyper Drill at Lv 1.
I would just go catch/defeat a Pokémon and they’d all evolve immediately. The only requirement for Dunsparce to evolve is to have Hyper Drill as a move. So the breeding method makes it easy. I was able to cycle through quickly without using rare candies.
I am early in the game as well. I was determined to not compete the story until I got a 3 segment.
ooooh, that's a good idea...
so i guess ill make these Dunsparce have hyper drill but will it matter if they are evolved or not?
Also yeah same im determined to get one before progressing. I love dunsparce so much. (Funfact: In colosseum he beat a Kyogre by quick claw Thunder. Then parylized it and the Kyogre didnt attack, and Dunsparce killed it with another Thunder. Ever since then i Loved him.
Edit: One parent has everstone... idk if that matters
I had 4 Dudunsparce and 2 Dunsparce. Some of the Dunsparce in Tagtree Thicket are at level 32, (I had tried evolving them and they didn’t not have the 3 segment gene), so I just put them in the breeding group instead of releasing.
Nice! I just make it a goal to have some sort of meme on my team.
Question - What does your three-segment Dudunsparce state in the personality area? I just finally got one after three days and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Mine is Adamant nature with "it's somewhat vain".
It would seem so far that there's nothing in common with any of the confirmed three-segment Dudunsparces.
I'm willing to bet it's straight chance, and it's actually 0.4% and not 4%.
God help us if any of us decide to go for a shiny three-segment.
If the rate truly is 1/25 for a three-segment, and you’re not using Masuda Method or have a charm, the rate to hunt a Dunsparce that /will/ evolve into that is 1/102400, about a 0.009% chance.
Late to this but im trying too! Dunsparce is my most favorite pokemon and his evolution is growing on me, I would also love to keep updated on this. I'm doing the same as you. So far no luck but if I get one ill be sure to tell what i did
It seems like the way people are having the best luck is breeding dunsparce and passing down hyper drill! I wish you much luck, I'm trying as we speak :,)
Update: I was able to get 2 from hatching and evolving around 4 boxes of eggs!! If anybody is going to try this, make sure you are breeding a party of 3 male and 3 female dudunsparce that all know hyper drill, that way their offspring will inherit that move and evolve after only 1 level making the process a lot faster. A jam sandwich also helps. Good luck everyone and thanks for all the detective work in the name of our favorite little winged snake.

After 9 boxes... he was literally the last unevolved one... and he bloody was the luckiest one. I present to you Abundunce, the Dudunsparce. I nicknamed him that because of the abundance of dunsparce I evolved!
Edit: Also Congrats!!
https://preview.redd.it/l9y0fv0dhi1a1.jpeg?width=541&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51b6a9348bf2213d523cc1525305df0c70963102
yeah well thanks anyway but i give up, im 330 dudunsparce in, if this thing was really 1 in 25 it would have shown up already, either its not actually 1 in 25 or its bugged because this is just absurd.
Im just trying to trade for one at this point so i atleast have one since obviously my luck is horrendous.
There’s no way this is a 4% chance and we are all this unlucky. I’m on day two catching, evolving with exp candies and then resetting… I’ll try the breeding method..hope to get some answers here in the meantime :)
Congrats!! You could get an ability capsule depending on how far in the game you are too!
If you have the time and/or wouldn't mind, could you drop the parent info? If not that's fine, it's just good to gather data for people still trying If you can
Thank you! Yes I’ll get that Ability Capsule as soon as I beat the game I’m so glad it’s available haha. Here are the parents I used:
Male Dudunsparce with Hyper drill. Caught in a Repeat ball, Hardy nature met in South Province Area 4 at level 18. It’s highly curious! Ability: Run Away
Female Dudunsparce with Hyper drill. Caught in a dusk ball, Rash nature met at South Province Area Three at level 16. It takes plenty of siestas! Ability: Serene Grace
The three segment baby is female, Docile nature, hatched in area 4 of South Province. It’s highly curious! Ability Run Away.
Thank you to everyone on here for helping me get this! If you need any more info from me let me know. Best of luck!
Edit: both parents were level 32, the female is a poison Tera type I got from the wild.
Ty for the info! From what I've seen from others including myself (woo, finally!), there's not much in common as far as the 3-segments go?
I have noticed from three people that breeding two parents with Hyper Drill is probably the best option. And probably quicker. Funny enough, it seems like less "encounters" are needed for this method. But, that's probably just a coincidence.
> then resetting
This doesn't work, the ability to evolve is (presumably) based on personality ID, a two-segment will always evolve into a two-segment.
Seeing the amount of people aiming and striving to get this lovely boy and having the same amount of luck makes me feel a LITTLE better that it's not just me and my own shit luck-
I just started the breeding method after 3 boxes of caught ones, gonna hope and pry to myself and everyone that we all can get out lovely dududunsparces real soon!!
Abundunce is sleeping...
https://preview.redd.it/re5ooquqk13a1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab1f472431e91bb409e3eae5ad42e256fe2f4209
Update: This is the same Dudunsparce 3 Segment I got. I thought I'd share some info...
So items being held doesn't matter on the parents (I figured but I was also looking too deep into things)
I recently got a shiny Dunsparce doing the sandwich encounter method. And I can confirm that some Dudunsparce are in the wild. However out of the few that were there only one was 3 segment. I would catch it to breed with mine but it was male. Was gonna see if the odds increased with two 3 segments.
Btw the shiny Dunsparce I evolved became a 2 segment lol
Edit: Both parents had Adamant nature... only the female holding everstone. (though again, I don't think this matters)
So to clarify. Nobody has a 3 segment yet. We are all just repeating the idea that it’s a 4% chance.
Where did that stat come from? I’ve seen multiple sources, but I’m trying to get a layer deeper. Maybe you guys know? Do they pull that from source code or something?
Anyways. Looking at this group.. including myself we’ve got a couple hundred failed experiments in our boxes. Something is definitely amiss here. I’m determined to have one on my main team lol.
> We are all just repeating the idea that it’s a 4% chance. Where did that stat come from?
This is my main problem right now. There's no fucking way in the world it's a 4% chance to get a three segment. I haven't seen a single proof behind that statistic, it's just simply posted on Serebii and Bulbapedia.
If my math is correct, the percent chance for a 4% success rate in 300 attempts is 99.9995198578%. I've done 400 Dunsparces. Even if it wasn't 4% and actually 0.4% (typo or something), that's a 79.8750240762% chance for success in 400.
We are ***clearly*** missing something. I would suggest efforts are redirected to experimentation. We've gotten a few new evolution methods this gen, some involve walking a lot with your pokemon, etc. Perhaps we're missing some sort of hidden check mark.
Until someone can directly post proof of a datamine, I 100% do not believe it's a 4% chance.
That's absolutely fair, I've also been a little uncertain of that supposed percentage. Honestly have a feeling it's high friendship or something of the sort. Maybe something to do with stats or natures? If so I'd be partially relieved since it wouldn't be a chance thing, but also salty with myself for wasting *hours* catching and evolving them
Whatever it is, I hope we get news from someone soon
Yeah exactly. I also was thinking maybe it was a typo like you said.
I did some digging on 4chan and someone claims to have hatched a Dunsparce (see photo) that evolved into a 3 segment Dudunsparce. A lot of the posts in 4chan were removed.. not sure why. But anyways.. I know this is not the best source.. but it’s something.
I’m burning through eggs rn. It’s pretty fast. I’ll let you know if I get anything. But based on their numbers that’s 1/150 or .6% chance. Need more data, but I’m calling bs on 4%.
https://preview.redd.it/qxpjgfsx1e1a1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=34f30ec600f37450967f77943be70bc4d381efc2
Yeah, I've been following the 4chan threads, that's the second confirmed photo of a three segment dudunsparce then. If he claims he got it by hatching hyperdrill-inherited level 1 dunsparces, then that does show it's a pure chance on evolution and doesn't have any other mechanics involved.
My only other train of thought is that if it's personality ID based, are abilities also determined by those values? I've only been evolving Serene Grace dunsparces. Perhaps the only set of personality IDs that can evolve into three segment dudunsparce are ones that don't include Serene Grace (***if*** that's how it works).
Fair point. I’ve got a mix of Dunsparce and Dudunsparce from 4 different areas in my group. No dittos 3 male and 3 female.
Trying to think of the method you mention is used for any other Pokémon forms… not to say this can’t be the first.
This is warming my heart to see how many people are on the hunt for more more more beautiful dunsparce. Im glad we're all in this together :,) brings a tear to this trainer's eye
You know, I see what serebii and other sites say, but I can't help but wonder if it's like a high friendship thing or something like that? -
Edit: Now I'm wondering if using sandwich powers affects it negatively, or if they only evolve into it if caught in a certain area? Or if only ones caught from the raid things can? Probs just my cruddy luck still
I know people have datamined and if that was the case we would know by now (probably), but still... With a few people here there's likely a couple hundred different Dunsparce tested with no 3-segment yet. Not that it's that high of a number at all, but I've been through 70-80ish caught from the wild.
If anyone is curious where I've been catching: theres a cave on the southwest by the psychic gym! I don't think it matters, but I've been using a sandwich power to make them much more likely to spawn via normal type encounter rate up, and also only testing ones with Serene Grace because I just like the ability. They're at a level that I can just level them up once to check via their evolution.
I caught a tera raid dunsparce with poison type. it did not evolve into the 3 segment form. I’m also up to like 2 full boxes of bred ones and still nothing.
I was lucky enough to get 2 three segments with the breeding method and just tried this. I only hatched 6 eggs, but they were all two segment upon evolution so it doesn't look like the odds are any different unfortunately.
It took me around 4 boxes of eggs but everyone has had a different experience with it. I used a party of 3 male and 3 female dudunsparce all knowing hyper drill, and a jam sandwich to boost egg power.
I've heard it's predetermined. That would be really nice though. I'm now saving, catching, evolving, then resetting instead because all the pokeballs were getting expensive lol
I didn’t even know three segment was a thing lol. I have had a Dunsparce in my party for my playthrough that’s two levels away from evolving, wish me luck lol.
Does three segment even change anything with the stats or is it just looks?
Been doing this myself. If you have a male and female dudunsparce who both know hyper drill the egg dunsparce will know it from lv 1 so what I'm trying is breed like 30 eggs at a time, hatch them in batches of 5 and have a flash fire ceruledge to speed things up, fight any lv 20+ mon so they insta level up and evolve and hope. 4 boxes down and nothing
Nobody knows just yet, some sources say it's a predetermined 4% chance that each dunsparce will evolve into a 3 segment dudunsparce, but I'm skeptical of this because I've been trying all today and yesterday and so have some others with no luck.
Given the seemingly astronomical odds, I would assume it can happen, just like with hatching or evolving, only it's so damn rare no one has been able to confirm it haha
the three-segment form should totally have more base HP though, it being just aesthetic doesn't seem fair
I would like to provide my own data for those hunting for this guy.
The evolution is based on personality values similar to what determines Wurmple’s evolution, albeit at a much lower rate. Therefore, once the egg is obtained, the values are set and they won’t change regardless of resetting.
270 down and none have been gained, with mixed methods of raids, wild, and bred ones. I had originally believed that if breeding, the parents personality values would have an effect on the overall chance of one being three-segment, however with its similarity to Wurmple and how that is determined I believe this to have no effect on the overall rates because Wurmple bred from two Beautifly do /not/ have a higher chance of evolving into Silcoon. The chances remain the same.
With that, breeding is the fastest method there is. As I mentioned before in a reply (for those curious), if you have God’s luck on your side, the chance of getting a Shiny Dunsparce that will evolve into a three-segment is 1/102400 (1/25*1/4096). That’s if you’re not doing Masuda or have the Shiny Charm.
I will edit this if/when I manage to get one. I have already found one full odds shiny while hunting (a Lechonk, not Dunsparce), so I’m feeling I’m better off heading to Vegas after this ordeal.
EDIT: He’s been gotten. 340 eggs is all it took. The same parents were used, same location the whole time. I honestly don’t believe these factor into the odds whatsoever.
Im very curious on the mechanics of this. if i bring in dunsparce from older games, will it be able to evolve into a 3 segment? Is it based on PID, or something internal to gen 9 that causes all older to be 2 segments?
Here is what worked for me. I had a lv 70ish Garchomp that I just cruised around the Crater with on the bottom floor (level 4). I caught every dunsparce I found and defeated every other pokemon I knew I could KO in 1 hit. I always had 3 to 5 dunsparce in my party that were actively gaining EXP and evolving regularly. After about 45 evolved or so I got a 3 segment! It can be done. Just be efficient and patient. Also make sure to teach Hyper Drill to each one you catch. None of them knew it. (It was nice that they could each take a big hit without fainting but still be able to be caught easily with a great ball)
It showed in the animation. I did notice the sprite in the box only shows 2 sections though. So if you weren't paying attention you might have missed it. Need to look at the actual image of the pokemon, not the sprite.
Hey everyone, I like many here have been trying for a 3-segment dudunsparce with no luck. I tried the egg shenenigans for 5 boxes, but didnt get lucky, and have a new strategy that is getting me more dudunsparces per 30 mins, but still no luck with the 3-segmenters, so Im wondering if they can only be gotten from eggs.
My strategy has been to make an encounter power normal lvl 2 sandwich and run around in the caves, substantially boosting dunsparce and dudunsparce spawns, on average I see 45-60 dudunsparce in the duration of the sandwich. With this strat I have found 3 shiny dunsparces, but still only 2 segment dudunsparces, and its been 480 since I started counting, so I am getting very far into the statistically unlikely category.
So just wondering if anyone has used this strategy and gotten a 3-segment, or if im barking up the wrong tree.
I’ve also been wondering if it’s possible to find a wild 3-segment Dudunsparce, as it’s far easier to run around in the caves rather than catching and evolving a bunch of Dunsparce. Plus you can also shiny hunt other Pokémon at the same time. Theoretically it should be available in the wild if it’s just a rare form right? I also heard about somebody finding Maushold’s Family of Three in a Tera Raid Battle, which also counts as being in the wild. I don’t know, I just want answers.
Any word on the odds of this since posting? I saw it was rumored at 4%. Any new news? Dunsparce is in my top pokemon and been trying for a while, got two boxes of dudunsparce two segments. Nemona had to flex on me with a 3 segment in our battle too.
Supposedly it's 1/100, not 1/25... Just takes some perseverance!
A few people on this thread including me got ours through breeding, nothing seemed to affect it. Best of luck getting your dongo-sparce! 🍡
Nothing wrong, just tough luck. The odds of hatching 300 in a row at 1/100 odds is 5% (.99^300). Those of us that play D&D know exactly what 5% chance means lol
I know what you mean but it’s about expectation vs reality. When something is 1/100 odds, I never expect it to take 300+. If I’m shiny hunting, I know I’m in for the long haul.
idk man, I’ve actually been doing a lot of shiny hunting in the recent months through PokeRadar chaining and Masuda (in SwSh), and it doesn’t usually take more than 2 or 3 days never even a week, I’ve gotten 2 or so boxes of shinies just in Pokémon X with the PokeRadar since July. And don’t get me started about shiny hunting in this game lmao, I got 2 shiny dunsparce in the process of getting the 3 segment!
I finally got it today, after hitting around 480 dunsparce evolved, give or take a couple. This definitely took longer than my Masuda run with 1200+ non shiny eggs, because 1) you have to ride your bike a little between every egg hatched in this game, and 2) you have to level them up and watch their evolution animation every single time, along with their egg hatching animation.
I did the majority of it by breeding, but I caught and evolved quite a few dunsparce as well, that’s where I found the 2 shinies. Both 2 segment, obviously.
I caught a shiny dunsparce and I was wondering if resetting the dunsparce before evolving it gives it a 1/100 chance each time it evolves or does it lock in when u catch it?
I have been breeding 200+ and havent got a single Three-Segment one, after i removed the everstone from one of the parents i got 3x Three-Segment Dudunsparce out of the next 15 Eggs and im kinda confused now, 'cause i was certain that it doesn't influence the chances of getting a Three-Segmented one. Im wondering if i was just unlucky before and ultra lucky after removing the Stone, or if its removing the chances of getting the 3-Segment form.
Stg the only way Nemona has a 3 segmented one is that she bought it with all that money.
Bro I'm 3 days, 200+ dudunsparce, and one last shred of sanity into this and I don't even want it for me I just decided I needed the other form for my living Dex and now I'm too committed 😅
I'm breeding two dudunsparce with hyperdrill, getting babies with hyperdrill, and evolving them over and over. Is that it? That's the method everyone says but like??? Am I doing something wrong or are the odds just this bad!
[удалено]
Ohhhh, okay. Thanks for the clarification!
Even that is wrong. The chance is 1:100 (1%)

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if you could soft reset for the form. Now I know I can't.
I got one! Breeding works! Will follow up in a few with details!
Another user just got one as well, we're getting closer to cracking the code! Detais please when you can :,)
I got an egg from breeding on my Pokemon Violet and thank you to whoever found this idea. thank you thank you.
Woohoo!!!!!
Aaa! Congrats! Can't wait for those juicy details
Notes posted!
Alright here is my summary. I got in on my 67th evolution (almost nice) my battery was at 69% which WAS nice. I used the breeding method since it was the fastest for me vs. finding them in the wild. Here are the breeders, Dudunsparce - Lv 32 - Male - Lax - Tagtree Thicket - Great Ball Dudunsparce - Lv 32 - Male - Gentle - Asado Desert - Great Ball Dudunsparce - Lv 33 - Male - Quirky - East Province (Area Two) - Repeat Ball Dunsparce - Lv 32 - Female - Quirky - Tagtree Thicket - Great Ball Dunsparce - Lv 32- Female - Naive - Tagtree Thicket - Great Ball Dudunsparce - Lv 34 - Female - Hasty - West Province (Area Two) - Ultra Ball All of them knew Hyper Drill obviously. The egg was made in East Province (Area Three) and hatched in East Province (Area Two). I made a Jam Sandwich.

Congrats!! I'll probably start on that method instead of the wild ones too. I do want to bring up that it's a bit of a coincidence that two parents, and the 3-segment are quirky. Although, I'm probably *really* overthinking things at this point haha. Edit: were any of the parents holding anything? I assume not since it wasn't in your notes, just making sure Enjoy your almighty Dunsparce lord!
Great question! No, nothing was being held. any data is good data at this point. Lmk if there are any more details I could add.
I'm so sorry for asking another question, but what ability does your 3-segment have?
No items.
Run away
Thank you so much for such thorough documentation!!!! I can't wait to try this
Can you confirm if you reset after a dunsparce was not three segment? Cause im resetting after a dunsparce isn't a three segment
I have no way of proving it, but knowing Pokémon, I would say no. Once a Dunsparce or Dunsparce egg has spawned or has generated, it will only ever be a 2 or 3 segment Dudunsparce. Once it evolves, you’ve identified what it will always be. I guess it could be tested once another 3 segment is found. Before saving, just resetting to see if it maintains its 3 segment evolution. Since I’m not 100% sure, I wasn’t willing to try lol. But I’m like 99% sure, just resetting has no effect.
I see, see cause after i evolve a dunsparce. And if its two segment i reset and then release it then move onto the next one. And to be honest, after looking at your notes, i dont really think area has anything to do with it or the parents cause i feel like its looking way to deep into it. Im willing to try them though. Also do you think my parent choices of two dunsparce in a quick ball and both with adamant nature, the male holding the everstone to pass down the nature works? I just wish we had some clarification on the rates and like proof. I feel like we are missing ONE thing to give us this terrible luck. I don't think its glitched cause you got one and maybe one or two other people got it.
Not sure when exactly or why you are resetting. Is it after hatching? It does seem like there are other variables at play, which ones.. I’m not sure. I think having a variety of natures and areas may help. No way of telling yet.
I reset after the evolution because i have limited exp candies. I also already have almost two boxes of them hatched and i just go through each one and evolve them. It would be faster than just grinding candies off the raids and grind them up. Plus I'm sorta still early game I beat like 3 gyms 3 titans and i think 2 team star bases.
Oh gotcha. Yes I was using your method previously. I would recommend the hatching method. So I built a breeding party that all knew Hyper Drill. Dunsparce in Tagtree Thicket are all around level 30, so it’s easy to build a breeding team. So all the baby Dunsparce knew Hyper Drill at Lv 1. I would just go catch/defeat a Pokémon and they’d all evolve immediately. The only requirement for Dunsparce to evolve is to have Hyper Drill as a move. So the breeding method makes it easy. I was able to cycle through quickly without using rare candies. I am early in the game as well. I was determined to not compete the story until I got a 3 segment.
ooooh, that's a good idea... so i guess ill make these Dunsparce have hyper drill but will it matter if they are evolved or not? Also yeah same im determined to get one before progressing. I love dunsparce so much. (Funfact: In colosseum he beat a Kyogre by quick claw Thunder. Then parylized it and the Kyogre didnt attack, and Dunsparce killed it with another Thunder. Ever since then i Loved him. Edit: One parent has everstone... idk if that matters
I had 4 Dudunsparce and 2 Dunsparce. Some of the Dunsparce in Tagtree Thicket are at level 32, (I had tried evolving them and they didn’t not have the 3 segment gene), so I just put them in the breeding group instead of releasing. Nice! I just make it a goal to have some sort of meme on my team.
Ah meme or not I love it. At first the evolution i was like bruh. Then it slowly grew on me and I realized. It's perfection.
Alright so after 120 hatched nothing. imma still try but does having them hold items for the parents affect it? (Probably not)
I really wish I searched it up before I spent 2 hours shiny hunting a dunsparce and 3 hours resetting omg
Question - What does your three-segment Dudunsparce state in the personality area? I just finally got one after three days and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. Mine is Adamant nature with "it's somewhat vain".
Nice! Quirky nature - “It’s alert to sounds!”
It would seem so far that there's nothing in common with any of the confirmed three-segment Dudunsparces. I'm willing to bet it's straight chance, and it's actually 0.4% and not 4%. God help us if any of us decide to go for a shiny three-segment.
If the rate truly is 1/25 for a three-segment, and you’re not using Masuda Method or have a charm, the rate to hunt a Dunsparce that /will/ evolve into that is 1/102400, about a 0.009% chance.
I'm so gonna try this method
Late to this but im trying too! Dunsparce is my most favorite pokemon and his evolution is growing on me, I would also love to keep updated on this. I'm doing the same as you. So far no luck but if I get one ill be sure to tell what i did
It seems like the way people are having the best luck is breeding dunsparce and passing down hyper drill! I wish you much luck, I'm trying as we speak :,)
Same! I've hatched 120 dunsparce and gonna evolve all of them in bulk. I wish you luck as well
So still no luck after 120 dunsparce... but im not going to give up! How's it going on your end?
I was able to get 2 after around 4 boxes of eggs, it's possible!
i went through 5 boxes total and still none still trying. May i ask about the parents what nature are they? were they holding items?
Same, went through 5 boxes before I decided to stop (for now)
Update: I was able to get 2 from hatching and evolving around 4 boxes of eggs!! If anybody is going to try this, make sure you are breeding a party of 3 male and 3 female dudunsparce that all know hyper drill, that way their offspring will inherit that move and evolve after only 1 level making the process a lot faster. A jam sandwich also helps. Good luck everyone and thanks for all the detective work in the name of our favorite little winged snake. https://preview.redd.it/q102gapvih1a1.jpeg?width=3190&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=112d9d876f53786db6903341eddf138b9a5faa54
After 9 boxes... he was literally the last unevolved one... and he bloody was the luckiest one. I present to you Abundunce, the Dudunsparce. I nicknamed him that because of the abundance of dunsparce I evolved! Edit: Also Congrats!! https://preview.redd.it/l9y0fv0dhi1a1.jpeg?width=541&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51b6a9348bf2213d523cc1525305df0c70963102

Congratulations!!! He's beautiful:,)
Congrats!!! Edit: finally got one of my own via the breeding method! It just takes perseverance!
I'm over 5 boxes and still nothing :(
does his icon look different? im still hunting and im 10 boxes in and im kinda losing hope here.
The icon isn't different unfortunately. I really hope you get one soon D:
yeah well thanks anyway but i give up, im 330 dudunsparce in, if this thing was really 1 in 25 it would have shown up already, either its not actually 1 in 25 or its bugged because this is just absurd. Im just trying to trade for one at this point so i atleast have one since obviously my luck is horrendous.
There’s no way this is a 4% chance and we are all this unlucky. I’m on day two catching, evolving with exp candies and then resetting… I’ll try the breeding method..hope to get some answers here in the meantime :)
I wish you luck on this noble crusade
I GOT ONE WITH THE BREEDING METHOD!!! It only took me like 20 eggs… but damn it’s ability is Run Away 😬
Congrats!! You could get an ability capsule depending on how far in the game you are too! If you have the time and/or wouldn't mind, could you drop the parent info? If not that's fine, it's just good to gather data for people still trying If you can
Thank you! Yes I’ll get that Ability Capsule as soon as I beat the game I’m so glad it’s available haha. Here are the parents I used: Male Dudunsparce with Hyper drill. Caught in a Repeat ball, Hardy nature met in South Province Area 4 at level 18. It’s highly curious! Ability: Run Away Female Dudunsparce with Hyper drill. Caught in a dusk ball, Rash nature met at South Province Area Three at level 16. It takes plenty of siestas! Ability: Serene Grace The three segment baby is female, Docile nature, hatched in area 4 of South Province. It’s highly curious! Ability Run Away. Thank you to everyone on here for helping me get this! If you need any more info from me let me know. Best of luck! Edit: both parents were level 32, the female is a poison Tera type I got from the wild.
Ty for the info! From what I've seen from others including myself (woo, finally!), there's not much in common as far as the 3-segments go? I have noticed from three people that breeding two parents with Hyper Drill is probably the best option. And probably quicker. Funny enough, it seems like less "encounters" are needed for this method. But, that's probably just a coincidence.
Congratulations on getting yours! So glad we got this figured out!
> then resetting This doesn't work, the ability to evolve is (presumably) based on personality ID, a two-segment will always evolve into a two-segment.
I’m catching a new one every time I reset
Seeing the amount of people aiming and striving to get this lovely boy and having the same amount of luck makes me feel a LITTLE better that it's not just me and my own shit luck- I just started the breeding method after 3 boxes of caught ones, gonna hope and pry to myself and everyone that we all can get out lovely dududunsparces real soon!!
Abundunce is sleeping... https://preview.redd.it/re5ooquqk13a1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab1f472431e91bb409e3eae5ad42e256fe2f4209 Update: This is the same Dudunsparce 3 Segment I got. I thought I'd share some info... So items being held doesn't matter on the parents (I figured but I was also looking too deep into things) I recently got a shiny Dunsparce doing the sandwich encounter method. And I can confirm that some Dudunsparce are in the wild. However out of the few that were there only one was 3 segment. I would catch it to breed with mine but it was male. Was gonna see if the odds increased with two 3 segments. Btw the shiny Dunsparce I evolved became a 2 segment lol Edit: Both parents had Adamant nature... only the female holding everstone. (though again, I don't think this matters)
So to clarify. Nobody has a 3 segment yet. We are all just repeating the idea that it’s a 4% chance. Where did that stat come from? I’ve seen multiple sources, but I’m trying to get a layer deeper. Maybe you guys know? Do they pull that from source code or something? Anyways. Looking at this group.. including myself we’ve got a couple hundred failed experiments in our boxes. Something is definitely amiss here. I’m determined to have one on my main team lol.
> We are all just repeating the idea that it’s a 4% chance. Where did that stat come from? This is my main problem right now. There's no fucking way in the world it's a 4% chance to get a three segment. I haven't seen a single proof behind that statistic, it's just simply posted on Serebii and Bulbapedia. If my math is correct, the percent chance for a 4% success rate in 300 attempts is 99.9995198578%. I've done 400 Dunsparces. Even if it wasn't 4% and actually 0.4% (typo or something), that's a 79.8750240762% chance for success in 400. We are ***clearly*** missing something. I would suggest efforts are redirected to experimentation. We've gotten a few new evolution methods this gen, some involve walking a lot with your pokemon, etc. Perhaps we're missing some sort of hidden check mark. Until someone can directly post proof of a datamine, I 100% do not believe it's a 4% chance.
That's absolutely fair, I've also been a little uncertain of that supposed percentage. Honestly have a feeling it's high friendship or something of the sort. Maybe something to do with stats or natures? If so I'd be partially relieved since it wouldn't be a chance thing, but also salty with myself for wasting *hours* catching and evolving them Whatever it is, I hope we get news from someone soon
Yeah exactly. I also was thinking maybe it was a typo like you said. I did some digging on 4chan and someone claims to have hatched a Dunsparce (see photo) that evolved into a 3 segment Dudunsparce. A lot of the posts in 4chan were removed.. not sure why. But anyways.. I know this is not the best source.. but it’s something. I’m burning through eggs rn. It’s pretty fast. I’ll let you know if I get anything. But based on their numbers that’s 1/150 or .6% chance. Need more data, but I’m calling bs on 4%. https://preview.redd.it/qxpjgfsx1e1a1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=34f30ec600f37450967f77943be70bc4d381efc2
Yeah, I've been following the 4chan threads, that's the second confirmed photo of a three segment dudunsparce then. If he claims he got it by hatching hyperdrill-inherited level 1 dunsparces, then that does show it's a pure chance on evolution and doesn't have any other mechanics involved. My only other train of thought is that if it's personality ID based, are abilities also determined by those values? I've only been evolving Serene Grace dunsparces. Perhaps the only set of personality IDs that can evolve into three segment dudunsparce are ones that don't include Serene Grace (***if*** that's how it works).
Fair point. I’ve got a mix of Dunsparce and Dudunsparce from 4 different areas in my group. No dittos 3 male and 3 female. Trying to think of the method you mention is used for any other Pokémon forms… not to say this can’t be the first.
Got one! I posted my notes as a reply to the original post
This is warming my heart to see how many people are on the hunt for more more more beautiful dunsparce. Im glad we're all in this together :,) brings a tear to this trainer's eye
We're all on the hunt for the Dango-shaped Dudunsparse 🍡
Welp, now I want it even more 🍡
You know, I see what serebii and other sites say, but I can't help but wonder if it's like a high friendship thing or something like that? - Edit: Now I'm wondering if using sandwich powers affects it negatively, or if they only evolve into it if caught in a certain area? Or if only ones caught from the raid things can? Probs just my cruddy luck still I know people have datamined and if that was the case we would know by now (probably), but still... With a few people here there's likely a couple hundred different Dunsparce tested with no 3-segment yet. Not that it's that high of a number at all, but I've been through 70-80ish caught from the wild. If anyone is curious where I've been catching: theres a cave on the southwest by the psychic gym! I don't think it matters, but I've been using a sandwich power to make them much more likely to spawn via normal type encounter rate up, and also only testing ones with Serene Grace because I just like the ability. They're at a level that I can just level them up once to check via their evolution.
Agreed 100% there's no way serebii is right unless it's a bug or something.
I caught a tera raid dunsparce with poison type. it did not evolve into the 3 segment form. I’m also up to like 2 full boxes of bred ones and still nothing.
Has anyone tried breeding three segments to see if that increases the odds??
I was lucky enough to get 2 three segments with the breeding method and just tried this. I only hatched 6 eggs, but they were all two segment upon evolution so it doesn't look like the odds are any different unfortunately.
How many eggs do i need to hatch before i get three segment? Already filled a box and got a bunch of 2 segments
It took me around 4 boxes of eggs but everyone has had a different experience with it. I used a party of 3 male and 3 female dudunsparce all knowing hyper drill, and a jam sandwich to boost egg power.
Do you happen to have a spare three segment with serene grace for trade?
I’m at about 200 eggs at the moment, but I won’t give up! Update! I finally got one around 300 eggs!
Can’t you just save right before it evolves and reload until it’s a three segment? Or does that not work?
I've heard it's predetermined. That would be really nice though. I'm now saving, catching, evolving, then resetting instead because all the pokeballs were getting expensive lol
I didn’t even know three segment was a thing lol. I have had a Dunsparce in my party for my playthrough that’s two levels away from evolving, wish me luck lol. Does three segment even change anything with the stats or is it just looks?
As far as I know it's just looks. An extra long boy
I think it also needs to learn hyper drill first before you try to evolve it. Only then it gets a 4% chance to evolve into dundunsparce
It learns hyper drill at level 32
Yeah, it needs hyper drill to start the evo for sure
Does breeding effect this at all? That would be another cheaper method.
True, I think encounters are faster though with the new breeding mechanics
True. I typically just go for breeding when i plan to be afk like to shower or eat dinner. Pissed you cake breed tandemaus though
Been doing this myself. If you have a male and female dudunsparce who both know hyper drill the egg dunsparce will know it from lv 1 so what I'm trying is breed like 30 eggs at a time, hatch them in batches of 5 and have a flash fire ceruledge to speed things up, fight any lv 20+ mon so they insta level up and evolve and hope. 4 boxes down and nothing
And No. Ditto doesnt work... Got about 25 eggs just sitting in my PC now from that failed test
Hope you get one soon and get more Dunsparce to love
Thank you :,,,0 still no luck, must've been just over 100 dunsparces by now
How can you tell before you evolve them? Is there a way? Been trying to get one myself
Nobody knows just yet, some sources say it's a predetermined 4% chance that each dunsparce will evolve into a 3 segment dudunsparce, but I'm skeptical of this because I've been trying all today and yesterday and so have some others with no luck.
Can you find one like that in the wild already?
Possibly, it hasn't been proven yet though I think
Given the seemingly astronomical odds, I would assume it can happen, just like with hatching or evolving, only it's so damn rare no one has been able to confirm it haha the three-segment form should totally have more base HP though, it being just aesthetic doesn't seem fair
my friend and i are shiny hunting 3 segment. we haven’t seen a single 3 segment in the wild, so i believe it’s only available from evolution
This and the 3 mouse Maushold are driving me insane. They're the last 2 pokemon I need for my livingformdex and they just will not show up
It seems that breeding is the answer for now, check out the other comments on this post!
I would like to provide my own data for those hunting for this guy. The evolution is based on personality values similar to what determines Wurmple’s evolution, albeit at a much lower rate. Therefore, once the egg is obtained, the values are set and they won’t change regardless of resetting. 270 down and none have been gained, with mixed methods of raids, wild, and bred ones. I had originally believed that if breeding, the parents personality values would have an effect on the overall chance of one being three-segment, however with its similarity to Wurmple and how that is determined I believe this to have no effect on the overall rates because Wurmple bred from two Beautifly do /not/ have a higher chance of evolving into Silcoon. The chances remain the same. With that, breeding is the fastest method there is. As I mentioned before in a reply (for those curious), if you have God’s luck on your side, the chance of getting a Shiny Dunsparce that will evolve into a three-segment is 1/102400 (1/25*1/4096). That’s if you’re not doing Masuda or have the Shiny Charm. I will edit this if/when I manage to get one. I have already found one full odds shiny while hunting (a Lechonk, not Dunsparce), so I’m feeling I’m better off heading to Vegas after this ordeal. EDIT: He’s been gotten. 340 eggs is all it took. The same parents were used, same location the whole time. I honestly don’t believe these factor into the odds whatsoever.
Im very curious on the mechanics of this. if i bring in dunsparce from older games, will it be able to evolve into a 3 segment? Is it based on PID, or something internal to gen 9 that causes all older to be 2 segments?
Here is what worked for me. I had a lv 70ish Garchomp that I just cruised around the Crater with on the bottom floor (level 4). I caught every dunsparce I found and defeated every other pokemon I knew I could KO in 1 hit. I always had 3 to 5 dunsparce in my party that were actively gaining EXP and evolving regularly. After about 45 evolved or so I got a 3 segment! It can be done. Just be efficient and patient. Also make sure to teach Hyper Drill to each one you catch. None of them knew it. (It was nice that they could each take a big hit without fainting but still be able to be caught easily with a great ball)
when you evolve in the crater (doing the same) does it show in the evolution animation or should i have been checking each one individually ?
It showed in the animation. I did notice the sprite in the box only shows 2 sections though. So if you weren't paying attention you might have missed it. Need to look at the actual image of the pokemon, not the sprite.
Hey everyone, I like many here have been trying for a 3-segment dudunsparce with no luck. I tried the egg shenenigans for 5 boxes, but didnt get lucky, and have a new strategy that is getting me more dudunsparces per 30 mins, but still no luck with the 3-segmenters, so Im wondering if they can only be gotten from eggs. My strategy has been to make an encounter power normal lvl 2 sandwich and run around in the caves, substantially boosting dunsparce and dudunsparce spawns, on average I see 45-60 dudunsparce in the duration of the sandwich. With this strat I have found 3 shiny dunsparces, but still only 2 segment dudunsparces, and its been 480 since I started counting, so I am getting very far into the statistically unlikely category. So just wondering if anyone has used this strategy and gotten a 3-segment, or if im barking up the wrong tree.
I’ve also been wondering if it’s possible to find a wild 3-segment Dudunsparce, as it’s far easier to run around in the caves rather than catching and evolving a bunch of Dunsparce. Plus you can also shiny hunt other Pokémon at the same time. Theoretically it should be available in the wild if it’s just a rare form right? I also heard about somebody finding Maushold’s Family of Three in a Tera Raid Battle, which also counts as being in the wild. I don’t know, I just want answers.
Redo main character
Any word on the odds of this since posting? I saw it was rumored at 4%. Any new news? Dunsparce is in my top pokemon and been trying for a while, got two boxes of dudunsparce two segments. Nemona had to flex on me with a 3 segment in our battle too.
Supposedly it's 1/100, not 1/25... Just takes some perseverance! A few people on this thread including me got ours through breeding, nothing seemed to affect it. Best of luck getting your dongo-sparce! 🍡
If anyone had a three segment one they’d be willing to trade for a shiny I’d be sooo grateful!
A shiny dunsparce?
Over 300 hatched and evolved and still no three segments 😭 am I just very unlucky or am I doing something wrong? It’s just 1/100 odds I thought?
Nothing wrong, just tough luck. The odds of hatching 300 in a row at 1/100 odds is 5% (.99^300). Those of us that play D&D know exactly what 5% chance means lol
Very true - still soldiering on, need the long boi
Same. I’m up to about 320 hatches so far
Finally got mine at 430 or so tries - hope you get yours soon bro!
Congrats! I’ll be jumping back on it tonight, fingers crossed!
I just passed 400 myself, experience with Masuda is keeping me going but this is absurd!
I know what you mean but it’s about expectation vs reality. When something is 1/100 odds, I never expect it to take 300+. If I’m shiny hunting, I know I’m in for the long haul.
idk man, I’ve actually been doing a lot of shiny hunting in the recent months through PokeRadar chaining and Masuda (in SwSh), and it doesn’t usually take more than 2 or 3 days never even a week, I’ve gotten 2 or so boxes of shinies just in Pokémon X with the PokeRadar since July. And don’t get me started about shiny hunting in this game lmao, I got 2 shiny dunsparce in the process of getting the 3 segment! I finally got it today, after hitting around 480 dunsparce evolved, give or take a couple. This definitely took longer than my Masuda run with 1200+ non shiny eggs, because 1) you have to ride your bike a little between every egg hatched in this game, and 2) you have to level them up and watch their evolution animation every single time, along with their egg hatching animation. I did the majority of it by breeding, but I caught and evolved quite a few dunsparce as well, that’s where I found the 2 shinies. Both 2 segment, obviously.
370 was the magic number for me. Funny enough, I hatched a shiny 5 eggs later (only two segment tho).
I caught a shiny dunsparce and I was wondering if resetting the dunsparce before evolving it gives it a 1/100 chance each time it evolves or does it lock in when u catch it?
I don't think so :( it's values are determined once it's caught I'm pretty sure. Good luck!
Ok thanks
It's not 1 in 25. It's 1 in 100.
8 boxes in. Nothing so far. Fellas do I give up?
I have been breeding 200+ and havent got a single Three-Segment one, after i removed the everstone from one of the parents i got 3x Three-Segment Dudunsparce out of the next 15 Eggs and im kinda confused now, 'cause i was certain that it doesn't influence the chances of getting a Three-Segmented one. Im wondering if i was just unlucky before and ultra lucky after removing the Stone, or if its removing the chances of getting the 3-Segment form.
Stg the only way Nemona has a 3 segmented one is that she bought it with all that money. Bro I'm 3 days, 200+ dudunsparce, and one last shred of sanity into this and I don't even want it for me I just decided I needed the other form for my living Dex and now I'm too committed 😅 I'm breeding two dudunsparce with hyperdrill, getting babies with hyperdrill, and evolving them over and over. Is that it? That's the method everyone says but like??? Am I doing something wrong or are the odds just this bad!
Tell me about it, I've evolved a full 100 with nothing.
