Pokémon Legends: Arceus - How to Get Rowlet

Rowlet is one of three starter Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the adorable bird is a grass/flying-type that later evolves into Decidueye, an illusive ghost/flying-type. This somewhat gives them an edge over other starters, as it isn't often that a starter Pokémon will already be a dual-type.

Choosing your starting Pokémon is pretty daunting, considering Oshawott and Cyndaquil have their perks too. However, the starters you missed out on can all be caught eventually, including Rowlet. As you complete your Pokédex, rest up at Base Camps, and quell Alpha Pokémon, you'll be able to get your hands on those starter Pokémon sooner or later.

How, exactly? And where can you find them when you've finished roaming Hisui? In this guide, we explain how to find and catch Rowlet in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

What if you want multiple Rowlets though? Well, also after completing the main story arc, Rowlet can be found in Space-Time Distortions. Even then, this spawn can be particularly rare, and Rowlet will only appear in Distortions in the Coronet Highlands.

Rowlet won't appear in every Space-Time Distortion in the Coronet Highlands, but when they do, many of them will spawn. This will make completing the Pokédex entry for Rowlet super easy, and if you're lucky, you may even run into its evolutions: Dartrix and Decidueye. If you're even luckier, you might encounter an Alpha!
