re: pokemon arceus
@Felthry Spiritomb is... Definitely a quest to obtain.
As for the ones you haven't seen, they might be rare spawns or they might only appear in space-time rifts.
re: pokemon arceus
@LexYeen several of them are baby pokemon--we don't have cleffa, pichu, or bonsly, but i'm not sure about the others

re: pokemon arceus
@LexYeen @Felthry I've finished my dex, so some more gentle hints follow.

The general rule for the rare spawns is they interleave with their older counterparts. So if you look at where your dex says Pikachu or Clefairy are, they should spawn there after a few region reloads.
Although the locations can be weird or inconsistent (as in a corner of the named area), and I kind of do recommend breaking out a guide if you can't find them after a few tries.
pichu spawn info (pokemon arceus)
@Felthry @Goldkin All of the following information is derived from Serebii.net, in the event you'd like to catch more reliably.
Pichu is in the spawn tables for three specific areas: Floaro Gardens and Nature's Pantry in the Obsidian Fieldlands, and a specific spot of the Golden Lowlands in the Crimson Mirelands.
In Floaro Gardens it has an 8.85% chance of spawning during morning, day, and evening, with a 5.13% chance during the night due to the addition of Drifloon to the spawn tables. There is also a 0.88% chance of an alpha spawn during the morning, day, and evening, with those odds dropping to 0.51% at night.
In Nature's Pantry, the odds are 7.46% during the morning, day, and evening, and an alpha spawn chance of 0.75% during those same times, with no odds at night.
The location in the Golden Lowlands is on the northern portion of the plateau directly north of Mirelands Camp, where the alpha Raichu spawn is. It's the spawn north of that Raichu, and only that spawn. The odds are more dependent on weather conditions here, and the odds overall are also lower than both locations outlined above, so I do not recommend it unless your concern is travel time from load-in location.
re: pokemon arceus
@Goldkin @LexYeen would you be able to give any more specific advice on pichu, because the guides are not helpful and i don't know if it's just not spawning or if we aren't understanding where this is talking about
