Completing your PokeDex is one of the main goals for Pokemon Legends: Arceus. While this is the idea of most Pokemon games, Arceus really focuses on it. The exploration of the various areas of the map are some of the most fun and interesting aspects of the game. While most Pokemon are straightforward to catch, some can be a bit harder to find and will elude capture. If you are looking for Chimchar to add to your collection, we’ll show you where you can find it in this guide!
Finding Chimchar
To locate Chimchar in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you will either need to go to Deertrack Path/Heights or Ramanas Island in the Obsidian Fieldlands. Chimchar can be found at either of these locations in small amounts.
While this could be total coincidence, I found that Chimchar seems to spawn far more often at night. Nothing in the PokeDex suggests that this is the case, but when I tested day vs. night, I far more often found Chimchar in the late night hours.
The map below shows the area of where Chimchar spawns. The stars mark exact locations where I found the Pokemon, so those should be patrolled most often. It’s possible that it spawns in other spots, but those are confirmed locations.
If you search the area listed on the map and don’t see a Chimchar, you should head to a camp and travel to Jubilife Village. Once you arrive at the village, immediately journey back to the Heights Camp travel location and search the region for Chimchar. Keep repeating this process until one spawns!
Chimchar is skittish, so make sure you sneak up on it when you try to catch it. Battling is not the best option unless you attack it unaware. Entice the Pokemon with a berry of some sort, sneak behind it, and throw an Ultra Ball to add it to your collection. Feeding it will help complete one of the objectives in your Research Tasks for Chimchar, so it’s worth throwing it some food!
Once you’ve caught a Chimchar, you can try waiting for the location to replace the Pokemon with a new spawn. It’s possible you get another Chimchar, but it seems just as likely you will get something else. It’s generally just better to repeat going back to the village to change the Pokemon in the region.
You should now have enough information to locate yourself a Chimchar! You will find a variety of other great content on the game in the Pokemon Arceus section of our website.
