Pichu location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Pikachu’s pre-evolution can be found as soon as the map opens up in the very first area of the game: theObsidian Fieldlands.

It is a rare spawn inFloaro GardensandNature’s Pantryduring all times of day and any weather.

Alternatively, the ‘mon can appear in theGolden Lowlandsin theCrimson Mirelands, also with a low appearance rate.

Cleffa location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Cleffa only appears in one place in the entire Hisui region, and it’s in theCoronet Highlands.

Head to theFabled Spring at nighttimeto find the Baby Pokemon, as well as its evolutions Clefairy and Clefable.

It spawns on both sides of the river here, so the chances of catching more than one in a single visit are high.

Togepi location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

The earliest you can find and catch the Egg Pokemon is in theCrimson Mirelands.

It appears in theCottonsedge Prairieand is quite common, though it doesn’t always show up on the first visit.

Togepi can also spawn in theCobalt Coastlands, atBathers’ LagoonandTranquility Cove.

Elekid location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

You will only be able to encounter Elekid during the later half of Legends Arceus’ story as it shows up in the last two maps.

Trainers can find it atCloudcap Passin theCoronet HighlandsandArena’s ApproachandIcebound Fallsin theAlabaster Icelands.

All three locations have a lower spawn chance, so you may be hunting for the Baby ‘mon for a while.

Magby location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

If you’re having trouble hunting down the Fire-type, that’s because it only spawns in one location in the entire game.

You need to have unlocked the Basculegion mount in theCobalt Coastlandsand then swim toFirespit Islandin the northeast section of the map.

Magby spawns here alongside its evolution. Be careful, though, as Magmar is aggressive on sight which can cause the Baby Pokemon to escape.

Budew location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

If you’ve already found Togepi then the chances that you have a Budew already are high as it appears in the same area. But if not, it’s in theCrimson Mirelands.

The best place to catch it is at theCottonsedge Prairie, but it can appear inGapejaw Bogtoo.

You can also get one at the same place as Cleffa: at theFabled Springin theCoronet Highlands.

Chingling location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Like Elekid, you will only be able to catch a Chingling once you’ve reached the last two maps as it doesn’t spawn earlier in the game.

Head to theSacred Plazain theCoronet HighlandsorLake Acuityin theAlabaster Icelandsto find the Baby ‘mon.

In our experience, Lake Acuity has a higher appearance rate so it may be worth heading there first if you may.

Bonsly location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

The Sudowoodo pre-evolution is one of the hardest Baby ‘mon to track down in the Hisui region. The earliest you’re able to findBonslyis in theCrimson Mirelands.

You can find it atCloudpool Ridge here, but know that it is a really rare spawn so it may take a few attempts to get one to load in.

The same goes for its second location:Celestica Ruinsin theCoronet Highlands. Good luck!

Mime Jr. location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Mime Jr. is probably the quickest pre-evolution to catch in Pokemon Legends Arceus. It spawns as soon as theObsidian Fieldlandsmap opens up.

It is a rare spawn in theHorseshoe Plains, often found walking around by Wurmple in the most eastern portion.

That said, you can find multiple of them atSandgem Flatsso we’d recommend heading there over Horseshoe Plains.

Happiny location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Happiny is another Baby Pokemon you can catch early on in the game, though it is also a rare spawn.

Head to theOreburrow Tunnelin theObsidian Fieldlandsto find the ‘mon, going either from the Obsidian Falls or The Heartwood side.

Alternatively, it can be found at theObsidian Fallshere, atHideaway Bayin theCobalt Coastlands, or theAvalanche Slopesin theAlabaster Icelands.

Munchlax location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Famously difficult to find in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl,Munchlax’sodds are not much different in the Hisui region either.

It has a low spawn chance atDeertrack Heightsin theObsidian Fieldlandsso be prepared to be looking for it for a while.

The ‘mon is also known to make a rare appearance at theSnowfall Hot Springin the AlabasterIcelands.

Riolu location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Perhaps the most desired on this list by many, the Lucario pre-evolution only appears on one map in Pokemon Legends Arceus: theAlabaster Icelands.

The best place to find one is by theIcebound Fallsas it spawns pretty consistently here. We have found one almost every single time we’ve visited the location.

Riolucan also show up at theSnowfall Hot Spring, though it is a lower chance so you’re better off going to the other area.

Mantyke location in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Once you unlock the Basculegion mount, you won’t have any issues tracking down Mantyke as it appears very frequently.

Simply hop on your mount in theCobalt Coastlandsand surf toGinkgo Landingwhere you should see a swarm of them doing acobatics in the water.

Failing that, they also appear alongside Mantyne atTranquility Cove, usually in groups of two or more.

And there you have it! Now you know how to catch every Baby Pokemon in the Hisui region.
