Brambleghast isn't listed as a wild encounter in our game data. It is usually obtained by evolving its earlier stage. See the evolution chain above for how.
It will open the branches of its head to envelop its prey. Once it absorbs all the life energy it needs, it expels the prey and discards it.
Brambleghast wanders around arid regions. On rare occasions, mass outbreaks of these Pokémon will bury an entire town.
