- Place your Tadbulb into your party.
- Enter your Bag and head into the Other Items tab.

Although rare, you can find Bellibolt around Glaseado Mountain and directly south of Casseroya Lake. If you really want to go on an adventure, you can also explore Tagtree Thicket and South Province Area Six. In short, check around the water like you would if you were searching for Tadbulb.
