In the core series games
Pokémon Legends: Arceus
The Miss Fortune sisters are first encountered atCrimson Mirelands when the player recovers the stolenWall Fragment from them. Their next encounter with them is atCobalt Coastlands after the player has befriended the rideableBasculegion, stealing one ofPalina'sGrowlithe and taking it toFirespit Island so they canevolve it. The player follows them and defeats each of the sisters, after which Palina's other Growlithe appears and evolves intoArcanine, forcing the sisters to depart. They're encountered for the third time inPrimeval Grotto, wanting to steal theOrigin Ore since they think it's valuable, but are driven away.
Outside of scripted encounters, each sister also has one semi-fixed spawn per map area. For example, Coin sometimes[citation needed] appears on or near the trail between Deertrack Path and Deertrack Heights in theObsidian Fieldlands (in any weather or time of day). Each of them drops a stack ofvaluable items every time the player wins a battle against them during these encounters.
