Where to Find Rufflet in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Rufflet and its evolved from, Braviary have a new role with the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Fans may know Rufflet from its uncanny resemblance to a certain national animal. Indeed, even its name as the “Eaglet” Pokemon gives this away—let alone its primary red, white, and blue coloring. It was originally introduced in Generation V.

Rufflet is known to have a rebellious, aggressive streak. According to its PokeDex description, from the moment it hatches, Rufflet aims to challenge its parents and prove its strength at every turn. Some have described this Pokemon as “hotheaded.” Its PokeDex number is #221 in Hisui.

It’s not uncommon for high-flying species such as Rufflet and Braviary to make their nests in higher altitudes. Mountain sides and tall trees make for safe homes, meaning these flying-types can tend to their young and hunt in peace. This echoes real-world species of eagles who are typically found in mountainous and/or densely forested regions.

What’s more—Rufflet’s fluffy head bears a distinct resemblance to fluffy eagle chicks still clad in their downy feathers. Hisuian Braviary also looks similar to the North American Bald Eagle with its white head-feathers and dark-brown body.
