Rowlet in Pokemon Survivor

Rowlet at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Rowlet has 101 HP, 96 speed and a 1.00x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is about average, its speed is below average and its attack is among the lowest on the roster. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 33.4, which puts it at rank 763 overall, rank 66 of 83 among Alola Pokemon and rank 88 of 118 Grass-types and 87 of 102 Flying-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Rowlet sits next to Oddish one place above it and Tadbulb one place below it.

Rowlet moves

Rowlet is one of the 29 starters, so its first move is the one the starter list gives it: Razor Leaf, two leaves that fly out and back, cutting both ways.

The level-up cards can then offer 15 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 7 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Grass moves: Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Petal Blizzard, Grass Knot
• Flying moves: Gust, Wing Attack, Aerial Ace

Weaknesses and resistances

Rowlet takes extra damage from Ice (2.4x), Fire (1.6x), Poison (1.6x), Flying (1.6x), and Rock (1.6x). It resists Ground (0.3x), Grass (0.36x), Water (0.6x), and Fighting (0.6x). The remaining 9 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Rowlet are the ones whose first type is Ice, Fire, Poison, Flying, or Rock, which hit for up to 2.4x. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Grass or Flying moves do not hit harder just because Rowlet shares the type.

How to get Rowlet

Rowlet is part of the Alola banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (30% for Uncommon) and then picks one of the 9 Uncommon Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Rowlet a 3.33% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 30 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 30 coins, or 90 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Rowlet is also one of the 29 starters. The personality test at the start only recommends one, and the "Choose another" button opens the full list, so you can pick Rowlet straight away. The starters guide lists all 29 with their first moves.

A rarity-2 Pokemon like Rowlet can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Rowlet exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Rowlet as an enemy

Rowlet can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1 and 2). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is chaser: it walks straight at you and hurts you on contact.
