How to get Weavile in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Several classic Pokemon received new forms in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. It’s been a common trend since Pokemon Sun and Moon.

One Pokemon, in particular, received a Hisuian form and a new evolution to go with it: Sneasler.

You won’t find one roaming the lands of the Hisuian region, but it can still be found.

If you’re looking for Weavile in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, here’s everything you need to know.

Unfortunately, finding the Johtonian form of Weavile (and Sneasel) isn’t done by roaming the countryside. Instead, it’s done by visiting space-time distortions and finding Sneasel in the wild. These won’t appear until later in the game, specifically after you’ve defeated the Noble Pokemon Kleavor.

Rare and high-level Pokemon can appear within space-time distortions, like Gengar and even the starters in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Bring a strong team if you want any chance of catching a Johtonian Sneasel or Weavile.

Most importantly, only the space-time distortions in the Obsidian Fieldlands will harbor Johtonian Sneasels and the more rare Weaviles.

If you didn’t have any luck catching a Weavile, the next best thing is catching a Johtonian Sneasel. In fact, it’s better if you go with the base evolution anyways. They’re easier to find and catch within space-time distortions.

With a Johtonian Sneasel in hand, you can instead evolve it into Weavile. To do that, you will need a Razor Claw. If you were lucky, the Sneasel you caught might already have one equipped. Sneasels have a chance of holding one, but it isn’t guaranteed.

If you weren’t so lucky, either catch more Johtonian Sneasels in space-time
