Pokemon Legends: Arceus has two different types of quests that players will embark on during their time in the Hisui region. Missions will move the story forward, and doing these will reward the player with key items needed to see the end of the game and roll credits. Requests, however, don't move the story forward, but they do reward trainers with rare items like Rare Candy for instance. Requests are more bite-sized side-quests that can be completed pretty quickly.

There are over 90 Requests in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and the very first one can be found in Jubilife City, and it's called Wurmple Can Evolve. The Request is given to players by an NPC named Beauregard, and he's standing in the middle of town. He will ask players to go out into the field and catch him a Wurmple, which is a small red-colored Bug Pokemon that looks like a caterpillar. Before heading out to find one, players should make sure they have a few Poke Balls in their satchel.

Where to Catch Wurmple

Pokemon Legends: Arceus players can find Wurmple at the Obsidian Fieldlands. Players can travel to the Fieldlands Camp and head east towards Horseshoe Plains. There should be plenty of Wurmple crawling around in the area directly in the middle of Aspiration Hill and Horseshoe Plains. If players just look around the area circled in red in the image below the Legends: Arceus map, they should have no trouble finding one to catch.

How to Catch Wurmple

Since Wurmple is typically a low-leveled Bug Pokemon that causes little to no harm, it should be easily catchable with a basic Poke Ball. However, there is a chance that Wurmple can flee before players get the opportunity to capture it, so they should try to find some nearby tall grass and crouch to get the surprise on Wurmple. It might know the Poison-inflicting attack Poison Sting, so be careful around it if a battle ensues.

As a reward for catching him a Wurmple, the NPC will give players some Dazzling Honey(x3). He'll also ask players to give the Wurmple a nickname. It doesn't matter what name is chosen, the reward for the Request will remain the same.
