Pokemon Locations

Pokemon	Where to Find
Wooper	As soon as the course starts, Wooper can be found walking with Cleffa in the grass to your left. Just before you fall down the waterfall, Woopers and a Quagsire can be found to your left. After you pass the Crystabloom hidden behind the waterfall, watch the river for a Wooper that may surface. Hit it with a Fluffruit and it will swim over to the riverbed and join a Psyduck for a swim. Quagsire and Wooper can be found sitting by the rapids. If the Wooper earlier in the course was hit with a Fluffruit, Psyduck will join them. If the Ledian in the vines are trigerred with an Illumina Orb, this Quagsire will fall into the water. Playing the Melody will cause the Quagsire to swim towards the Moonlit cave and reappear inside it with Wooper.
Cleffa	As soon as the course starts, Cleffa can be found walking with Wooper in the grass to your left. In the Moonlit Cave.
Aipom	Aipom can be found playfully hiding in the plants at the start of the course. Aipom can also be found peeking at you on your left just before you fall down the waterfall. Throwing a Fluffruit at this Aipom allows it to reappear later on in the level. If the Feraligatr was triggered to dive earlier in the level, Aipom and Magikarp will appear near the base of the waterfall that you fall from. May appear late into the level if they were hit with Fluffruit earlier and observed all the way to the end.
Ariados	As soon as the course starts, an Ariados can be spotted behind you on the shore to your right. Another Ariados will be on a web, also to your right at the start of the course. Another Ariados can be found in the clearing to your left just before falling down the waterfall. It will be hiding in the trees. It reveals itself when Feraligatr is triggered to dive.
Morelull	As soon as the course starts, Morelull can be found hidden in the plants to your right. A Tropius can be found sleeping next to Morelull just before the rapids. In the Moonlit Cave.
Drilbur	As soon as the course starts, Drilbur can be found hidden in the plants to your right. You may need to toss a Fluffruit at them to get them to come out. There is also another Drilbur on the left side of the river bank, near where the Ursaring is resting. Fluffruit may be necessary to lure the Drilbur out. After falling from the waterfall, keep your eye on the land to your right where a Quagsire is sleeping. Throw a Fluffruit at it to reveal two Woopers hiding behind it. Throw Illumina Orbs at these Wooper and play the Melody and they will strike a pose. Scan, Play the Melody, and Throw Illumina Orbs at them and a Drilbur will pop out from the ground. Two Drilbur appear above the Ursaring in the rapids. Throwing an Illumina Orb at them triggers them to reappear later in the level. May appear at the end of the course. In the Moonlit Cave.
Tropius	When the course starts, a Tropius can be found to your left drinking from the river. Throwing an Illumina Orb at this Tropius will trigger it to take flight to reappear later in the level. Another Tropius can be found when you look at the peak of the cliff ahead of you. Throwing an Illumina Orb at this Tropius will trigger it to take flight to reappear later in the level. As you fall down the waterfall, be quick to throw an Illumina Orb at the Tropius sleeping on the right, or the Crystabloom near it. Illuminating this Tropius will allow it to reappear later on in the level. Sleeping Tropius can be found in the land on your right just past the Crystabloom hidden behind the waterfall.

If you scared away the Beautifly along the main path, a Vivillon will appear around the Rapids area of the river. Two variants of the Vivillon will also appear clinging onto the walls of the Moonlit cave. Vivillon of different variants also appear at the end of the stage.
