Nintendo tookPokemonfans to the ancient past withPokemon Legends: Arceusand players have been exploring the Hisui region which was formerly known as Sinnoh since. OnePokemon Legends: Arceusfan recently startled a Rowlet while exploring the Coronet Highlands and its strange reaction caught the player off guard.
Reddit user KingAster35 posted a clip of their adventures inPokemon Legends: Arceusin which they’re battling Pokemon in theCoronet Highlandswhen they spot a Rowlet as it spawns. Still earning experience from their last battle, thePokemon Legends: Arceusplayer rushes towards the Pokemon and throws one of their Pokemon at it as soon as they can. This sudden bombardment causes the wild Rowlet to react in an unexpected way as the battle initiates with the expected cutscene that leads to the player’s Raichu standing there with no opponent.

KingAster35’s video begins with thePokemon Legends: Arceusplayer defeating a Dartrix, Rowlet’s first evolution, before they rush the aforementioned Rowlet. As the battle begins, the game informs KingAster35 that they “caught Rowlet unaware,” and thestarter Pokemonquickly turns around and runs away without the game realizing it had escaped. As a result, KingAster35’s Raichu is left there alone in the battle menu with an arrow floating over where the opponent Pokemon would normally be.
Although KingAster35 is still able to attack the Rowlet with theirRaichuby the end of the clip, the early moments of the battle clearly show the wild Pokemon running away. KingAster35 is able to show the targeted area from multiple angles to highlight that the Rowlet isn’t simply invisible from a certain angle and their Raichu successfully used Thunder to end the conflict. After the battle with the Rowlet concludes, there’s still no Rowlet to be found in KingAster35’s video.
Although Pokemon inPokemon Legends: Arceuscan escape from players, it’s currently unclear why this Rowlet was able to escape faster than an Abra can teleport in battle. According to KingAster35, the Rowlet still rewarded experience after it was defeated by Raichu and the fight felt as it would if there was a wild Pokemon there which may suggest the Pokemon became invisible. Though it’s still not clear what caused this issue, onePokemon Legends: Arceusplayer has had a similar glitch where it looked like they werefighting a tree.
Pokemon Legends: Arceusis available now for Nintendo Switch.
