So, you wanna catch 'em all in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, huh? Brave soul. Prepare for a journey. It's not gonna be a walk in the park. More like a walk through a blizzard... with angry Ursaluna nearby.
First Things First: The Pokedex Grind
Gotta fill that Pokedex! It's the key to... well, pretty much everything. Don't just catch 'em. You gotta OBSERVE them.
Seriously. The game wants you to use specific moves, feed them berries, and witness their quirky habits. Who knew Pokemon were such drama queens?
Complete those research tasks! It's like Pokemon homework, but way more fun (maybe...). It's the only way to rank up with the Galaxy Expedition Team.
The Not-So-Secret Ingredient: Patience
Patience, my friend, is a virtue. Especially when you're waiting for a Cherubi to fall from a tree.
Some Pokemon are incredibly rare. Prepare to camp out in specific locations. Set up a tent and accept your fate.
It's like waiting for your online shopping order to arrive. Except, you're also fending off wild Pokemon.
Location, Location, Location!
Knowing where to find each Pokemon is crucial. Consult your trusty map and the internet. No shame in a little help from your friends.
Each area has its own unique Pokemon. Don't expect to find Garchomp frolicking in the Obsidian Fieldlands. Unless a glitch happened, then screenshot it for fame.
Pay attention to the time of day! Some Pokemon only appear at night. Sleep schedule? Never heard of her.
Dealing with Space-Time Distortions
These are your golden tickets to rare Pokemon. But beware, it's a dangerous party. You need strong Pokemon to survive these events.
Distortions are chaotic. They throw out hordes of powerful monsters. Prepare for a battle royale!
Plus, you can find evolution items. Gotta get those Porygon evolutions somehow, right?
The Everstone Conspiracy (An Unpopular Opinion)
Okay, here's a controversial take: Don't be afraid to let your Pokemon evolve. I know, I know, some people like to keep them small and cute.
But evolved forms are usually stronger! And you need them for certain research tasks. My Kadabra evolved without me even noticing!
Plus, some evolutions are just plain awesome. Hisuian Zoroark, I'm looking at you. Don't deny their destiny!
Trading (If You Can Find Someone)
Trading can be your savior. If you have a friend, that is. Loners like me, we gotta do it the hard way.
Certain Pokemon require trading to evolve. Looking at you, Graveler. Always requiring outside validation.
Beware of trade scams! Make sure you know what you're getting. Don't end up with a level 2 Bidoof when you wanted a Gengar.
Don't Forget the Legendaries!
Of course, you can't catch 'em all without bagging the Legendaries. Prepare for some epic battles.
These guys are tough. Stock up on healing items and revives. You're gonna need 'em.
And make sure you have the right team! Some Legendaries are weak to certain types. Exploit those weaknesses!
Shiny Hunting (Optional, But Highly Addictive)
Want an extra challenge? Go for the shinies! It's a rabbit hole of time consumption and emotional roller coasters.
Shiny hunting can be rewarding. But also incredibly frustrating. Prepare to see the same Pokemon hundreds of times.
May Arceus have mercy on your soul (and your battery life).
So, there you have it. A semi-helpful, slightly sarcastic guide to catching all the Pokemon in Arceus. Good luck, and try not to rage quit!
