Bushi Noct is a new Dark-type version of the samurai Pal in Palworld that arrived with the Sakurajima DLC. You can see exactly how to catch Bushi Noct and all of its stats in the guide below.
Bushi Noct Location and How to Catch it in Palworld
As you might have guessed from Bushi Noct being a Dark-type, the new Pal variant can only be found when the moon rises in Palworld. If you try to look for Bushi Noct during the day, you won’t have any luck. However, as soon as nighttime arrives, you can begin looking for the Pal.
Specifically, you have to search around the new Sakurajima Island, which contains Pals level 40 and above. As such, if you’re not at least roughly level 40 yet, you’ll likely have to hold off on trying to capture Bushi Noct. Fortunately for any properly-leveled trainers, Bushi Noct can spawn all over Sakurajima Island, as seen in the map screenshot below:

Bushi Noct can be a wide range of levels in the wild. I found mine at level 53, but others are at a lower level as well. The Pal tends to be alone when wandering around its spawn location, but you may see other nighttime Pals as well, such as Sootseer.
As Bushi Noct is found at higher levels in Palworld, you need to use a Legendary or Ultimate Sphere to capture it. I went with a Legendary Sphere when Bushi Noct was at low HP and I had roughly a 20% capture rate, for reference. An Ultimate Sphere might not be necessary to capture the Pal, but it increases your odds dramatically.
