Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes players to the ancient region of Hisui, a vast and diverse place full of life, mysteries, and new adventures. Your journey will take you to many places to explore, and pokemon to catch, whether they're entirely new or alternate versions of already known ones.
One of these regional versions is Hisuian Qwilfish, a new take on the classic Johto pokemon. Sporting a Dark/Poison type and a new move called Barb Barrage, this fish will be a powerful addition to your team, and the major difference from its classic counterpart comes in the form of a new evolution called Overqwil. Here's everything you need to know about it.
How To Get Hisuian Qwilfish
To obtain a Hisuian Qwilfish, you must first unlock Basculegion as a ride pokemon, which will enable you to travel by water bodies, thus allowing you to catch pokemon while doing so. This particular version of Qwilfish will hang around the following places:
- Obsidian Fieldlands - Ramanas Island
- Cobalt Coastlands - Tranquility Cove, Lunker's Lare, and Islespy Shore.
Keep in mind that Qwilfish will be swimming around and catching pokemon on the water is a bit more difficult, so bring enough Poke Balls and be overall prepared.
How To Get Qwilshot
To successfully evolve this Hisuian pokemon to Qwillshot you must unlock the new move Barb Barrage at level 15, then level up until Qwilfish masters it, and use it in battle 20 times in Strong Style. If done correctly, after you finish this process you should unlock the ability to evolve Qwilfish into its new evolution form, Qwilshot.
Alternatively, an Alpha Qwilshot can also be found as you progress to the later stages of the game's main story, more specifically during the Valor Lake trial. When you enter to clear the lake trial this Dark/Poison pokemon will receive you ready to fight, and you must keep in mind that it can be hard to defeat so prepare your team accordingly, with the best options being Ground-type pokemon.
