Request 11: The Timbre of the Fields

Find Chatot for Request 11: The Timbre of the Fields in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Learn its location and best catching strategies.

Request 11, "The Timbre of the Fields," is a charming side quest that tasks you with finding a specific Pokémon known for its unique sound. This request encourages players to pay closer attention to the auditory cues in the game world and to explore the grassy plains of Hisui. Completing this request will reward you with useful items and contribute to your overall progress in the game.

This request is initiated by an NPC in Jubilife Village who is looking for a Pokémon that makes a distinctive "timbre." This description strongly points towards Chatot, a Pokémon known for mimicking sounds and having a musical note-shaped head. Chatot is relatively common in certain areas, but its appearance can be tied to specific times of day or weather conditions. The most reliable place to find Chatot is the Ginkgo Landing area within the Obsidian Fieldlands. This open, grassy area is a natural habitat for many flying and bird-like Pokémon.

To effectively find Chatot, it's recommended to visit Ginkgo Landing during the daytime. While Chatot can appear at other times, its presence is often more consistent during daylight hours. You can change the time of day by resting at a camp. When you arrive at Ginkgo Landing, dismount your Wyrdeer and begin exploring the open fields. Listen carefully for any unusual sounds; Chatot's cry is quite distinct and can often be heard before it is seen. If you have trouble locating it, try moving around different parts of Ginkgo Landing, as it may spawn in slightly different spots.

Once you spot a Chatot, you'll need to catch it. Chatot is a relatively small and agile Pokémon, so it might try to evade your Poké Balls. Using Feather Balls or Wing Balls can be effective for catching flying Pokémon at a distance. Alternatively, you can sneak up on it and throw a Jet Ball for a higher chance of success. If you prefer to battle, remember that Chatot is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon, making it weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock-type moves. However, for this request, simply catching one is sufficient; you don't need to defeat it in battle.

After successfully catching a Chatot, you can return to the NPC in Jubilife Village who gave you the request. Presenting them with the Chatot will complete "The Timbre of the Fields." The reward for this request typically includes items that aid in your journey, such as Revives or Star Pieces, which can be sold for a good amount of Pokédollars. This request is a great way to practice your catching skills and familiarize yourself with the diverse habitats of Hisui.
