Rare Pokémonappear in a significantly limited number of areas with a low spawn rate. Every region of Pokémon Legends: Arceus requires copious exploration, but these creatures' occurrence in the wild is predictable. Finding them requires battling or using items like Scatter Bang to clear out unneeded Pokémon from areas of interest—then resting until day or night when a new batch can respawn. Each Pokémon shows up with a certain frequency depending on other Pokémon that spawn there, time of day, and weather.

The markers on the maps below correspond to the rare Pokémon as they are numbered. The lists feature the Pokémon, their locations, Pokédex entry notes, and catching tips.

If you’re aware of the luck Pokémon can contain, then you can gauge the amount of time to be spent searching for a particular monster. But we’re here to do this in the fastest way possible. Remember to use the map markers so you waste no time getting lost. Think about your stealth and battling-and-catching strategy.

If it comes to battle, do you have a good Pokémon with the move False Swipe, which always leaves an opponent with at least 1 HP? Can you cause effects such as drowsiness or paralysis? Stock up with enough Gigaton, Jet, and Ultra Balls, as well as stealth sprays and mud balls, spoiled apricots, and plenty of cakes and berries. Good luck!
