Larvadar starts out as purely a Bug-type Pokémon, but ends up becoming a Bug-type and Psychic when it enters its second and final Pokémon Sword and Shield evolution. It only remains to wait for level 10 for its second evolution, but it then becomes Astronelle at level 30.
You can find Larvadar in several places in the Galar region. You may have first found him in the Weald Slumberwing when you need to save the Lost Sheep. You might find him wandering the terrestrial world of Cape The Giants in normal weather and the high level area of Route 2.
After that you must have a little more luck on your side as you can still find Larvadar on routes 2 and 1, but it appears as an exclamation mark. You have to rush there to find out what a Pokemon is, so that you can find something that you don't want to encounter. You will have to do this several times. If you stick to Route 2, you will eventually come across one.
The evolutions of Larvadar, Coléodome and Astronelle also have the appearances.
For Coléodôme:
- Giant's Cap during all weather conditions in the underworld
- Route 5 in all weather, not in the outside world
- Stony Wilderness during thick fog, not in the outside world
- Giant's Mirror in normal, overcast, rainy, sandstorm weather, not in the outside world
- Giant's Cap in all weather, not in the outside world. You have the best chance of finding it in normal foggy, overcast, and cloudy conditions.
For Astronelle:
- Weald asleep in the high level zone in all weather, in the outside world
- Lake of Outrage in normal weather, not in the outside world
You don't have the best chance of encountering Larvadar's evolutions. The Coléodome Giant's Cap spawn is pretty decent, so if you can't find a Larvadar ahead of time, you might want to grab it and breed it to acquire it in order to acquire Larvadar for your Pokédex.
Larvadar has a two-star Max Raid refuge that you can find in the wild area, but you might have better luck with the Pokémon's traditional spawns.
