In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Rowlet is the Grass- and Flying-type starter option that players can choose, and they can find and catch Rowlet much later in the game as well. Rowlet's dual-typing gives it the advantage over many types of Pokémon commonly seen at the beginning of most Pokémon games, such as Bug-, Water-, and other Grass-types. Although it'll be sometime before a new Rowlet is seen, players can find and catch all starter Pokémon once they complete Legends: Arceus' story.
If players opted for Cyndaquil or Oshawott as their starter Pokémon choice in Arceus instead of Rowlet, they can receive a Rowlet from Professor Laventon after the main story has been completed. As players may have seen throughout their journey, the remaining starter Pokémon were left behind in Professor Laventon's office. Therefore, once players are finished with the main game, they can visit Professor Laventon to receive the other two starter Pokémon as well.
Like the original starter choice, the remaining two gifted Pokémon will be at level five.
Rowlet's Location in Legends: Arceus
While most Pokédex research for Rowlet can be completed from the single Rowlet Professor Laventon gives to players, they'll need to catch a total of five Rowlet to complete the entry. This is because Rowlet does not have a natural habitat in the Hisui region, but it can still be found in the wild thanks to Space-Time Distortion in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Unfortunately, finding a Rowlet in a Space-Time Distortion is rare.
Players can only find and catch Rowlet in Pokémon Legends: Arceus in Space-Time Distortion zones located in the Coronet Highlands. Not every Space-Time Distortion event will have Rowlet spawn, but when they do, multiple will spawn simultaneously. This should give players enough opportunity to catch all the Rowlet they need to fulfill the Pokédex request. Additionally, Trainers may even be able to find Dartrix and Hisuian Decidueye in these Space-Time Distortions.
Any ongoing outbreaks in Coronet Highlands will make Space-Time Distortions less likely to happen! To see how to spawn Space-Time Distortions in Arceus fast, check out the video from PhillyBeatzU on YouTube below:
Since Legends: Arceus doesn't allow players to breed their Pokémon, Rowlet will have to be captured, specifically, in order to complete its Pokédex entry. Fortunate players may even stumble across an Alpha Rowlet in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, or an Alpha of Dartrix or Hisuian Decidueye.
Finding an Alpha Rowlet, or any of its evolutions, will be more difficult than finding a regular Rowlet in Arceus, as the spawn chances are extremely rare. Nonetheless, players can find and catch Rowlet in Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Space-Time Distortions eventually, no matter how long it takes to spot them.
