If you’ve taken on the To Bloom or Not to Bloom request in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, there’s a good chance you’ve already spent quite a while trying and failing to find Cherrim. This is normal — for some strange reason, this particular Pokémon is incredibly hard to find.
Fortunately, we’ve spent quite a while with Legends: Arceus and have discovered multiple locations in which Cherrim can be found and caught. It’s worth noting that this request can also be completed by catching a Cherubi and evolving it at level 25.
Here’s everything you need to know about where to find Cherrim in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus – Where to find Cherrim
The above screenshot shows what we believe is the most reliable location to encounter Cherrim in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. As you can see, the red arrow is located south of Bolderoll Ravine and west of the Ancient Quarry. It’s worth noting that Cherubi and Cherrim only spawn in shaking trees, so you’ll have to throw one of your Pokémon’s Poké Balls at the tree and battle them in order to catch them.
While you can technically catch either Cherubi or Cherrim in the Heartwood — which is located in the Obsidian Fieldlands, right next to where you fought Kleavor — our recommendation would be to leave the To Bloom or Not to Bloom request until later on in your adventure.
This is for two reasons: Later locations have, in our experience, yielded far better results when hunting for Cherrim, and should you catch a Cherubi, training it to level 25 or higher is significantly easier if you have it in your party while you take on Alpha Pokémon, which are almost impossible to defeat early in your adventure.
If you’re a completionist, however, and you’d like to tick this request off as soon as possible, we’ve also had some luck finding Cherrim in the Crimson Mireland’s Gapejaw Bog, as shown in the screenshot below.
