Along with being one of the cutest Pokemon in Paldea, Pawmi is also one of the easiest to track down. In fact, it’s one of the first you’ll come across after being given Poke Balls by Nemona at the beginning of the game. Alongside other ‘mon like Lechonk and Tarountula, you’ll find it running around in Poco Path. It is a rare spawn though so it may take a little while to show up.

If you somehow didn’t manage to catch one in Poco Path, it also appears in South Province (Area One), South Province (Area Five), South Province (Area Three), and East Province (Area One).

If you’re Shiny hunting a Pawmi, look for a pink one instead of its classic orange fur. Its Shiny evolutions also stay pink too which is just too much to handle – SO freaking adorable.
