You will obtain the Devon Scope from an encounter with Steven on Route 120. You can start the event with Steven immediately after you’ve reached Fortree City. And since this event is part of the main story, the Devon Scope is an unmissable key item.

You will need the Devon Scope to access the Fortree Gym, which is blocked by an invisible Kecleon.

Using the Devon Scope

With the Devon Scope in your bag, you will be able to access the Fortree City Gym.

Just walk up to the invisible Kecleon that’s blocking the path and use your Devon Scope. The Kecleon will run away once it’s revealed.

Tip: There are a few other hidden Kecleon locations that you’ll find throughout your OR/AS playthrough. So if you find yourself bumping into an invisible wall at any point, try using your Devon Scope to try clearing the blockage.
