What are Hidden Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduced new features to the Pokémon franchise as the first open-world experience. Players can encounter these wild and powerful creates in new settings and environments and may even see several new variants. One type of Pokémon that players will encounter is Hidden Pokémon.

Hidden Pokémon are creatures that hide in the environment of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Players can find these creatures lurking within interactable pieces of the Hisui domain. Look out for rustling trees or shaking rocks when calling your Pokémon out to scavenge for resources, as these signs indicate a Hidden Pokémon lurks within these landmarks.

If you send your Pokémon forward and displace these creatures, they'll spring forward, ready to battle. You can either catch them, run away, or battle them for the experience. Some common Hidden Pokémon are Geodude, Burmy, and Graveler. Players can only capture some Pokémon via interactable parts of the map, and particular creatures like Burmy have several unique forms that players can find in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Keep your eyes open while exploring the Hisui region for these sneaky critters.
