Why Swim Ability is Important
Open Sky titan is one of the Titan Pokémon that players will have to defeat at some point in the game if they want to complete the story. However, it is advised to defeat this Titan as early as possible to unlock the Swimming ability for your Mount. Unlocking this ability will let you go to the places that require water/ocean to be crossed. Players will be able to get to the Northwestern side of Paldea Region by swimming in the water and explore the new areas to find different items.
How to Get to Open Sky Titan – Location
Open Sky Titan can be found on the West side of the Paldea Region, and it is ranked number 7 on the world map. The ranking is according to the easiest to hardest enemies and it is number 7 which means you can easily defeat it in the early game. The location of Open Sky Titan is directly to the West, and it can be found in West Province (Area One). The location is the same for both, Scarlet and Violet versions of the game.
Keep going in the west direction and cross through the West Province and you will see a flying Pokémon up on the mountain throwing Rocks. You need to go up the mountain by dodging the Rocks and then you will be able to encounter Bombirdier, the Open Sky Titan.
