Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
201

Theplayer character istransported back in time to theHisuiregion byArceus, who bestows upon them a device called theArc Phone and the task of "seeking out all Pokémon". Upon waking up, the player meetsProfessor Laventon, aPokémon Professor working for theGalaxy Expedition Team, who tells the player that they fell out of the mysteriousspace-time rift in the sky aboveMount Coronet. After helping Laventoncatch his three runawaypartner Pokémon, they are escorted toJubilife Village, where they meetAkari/Rei, the professor'sassistant and a member of the Galaxy Team Survey Corps. Since the player has no home, the Survey Corps CaptainCyllene accepts Professor Laventon's request to let them join the organization, offering them a place to stay and food in exchange for working for them if they pass a trial set up for them. To help them pass the trial, Laventon gives the player one of the partner Pokémon they caught earlier. After passing the trial of catching aBidoof, aStarly, and aShinx, the player is formally accepted into the Survey Corps and given the mission of completing thePokédex.

While exploring Hisui, the player learns that mysterious lightning striking down from the same space-time rift they fell out of is causing the fivenoble Pokémon around the region to go on wild frenzies and attack people. The player is given the mission to visit and calm each of these noble Pokémon. Each noble Pokémon is overseen by awarden belonging to one of Hisui's two clans: theDiamond Clan led byAdaman, and thePearl Clan led byIrida. These clans both worship a deity known as "almighty Sinnoh", but they disagree with each other about whether it rules over time or space. During their travels, the player also has several encounters with the merchantVolo from theGinkgo Guild, who enjoys studying the history of Hisui, and the bandit trio known as theMiss Fortune sisters. They also obtain aCelestica Flute and befriendfive Pokémon (each overseen by a warden, like the nobles) who allow the player to ride them at will afterwards. Whenever the player defeats a noble Pokémon or befriends a rideable Pokémon, they are gifted with aPlate.

After the player has managed to quell the last of the five noble Pokémon, the space-time rift in the sky suddenly expands and the sky above Hisui turns red. Suspecting that the player, who fell out of the same rift, is somehow responsible for this, Galaxy Team CommanderKamado kicks them out of the Galaxy Team and banishes them from Jubilife Village. The player seeks help from the clans, but they both refuse to help in order to maintain neutrality with the Galaxy Team. Volo, however, agrees to help the player and takes them to a secret settlement, theAncient Retreat, where the mysterious womanCogita resides; from her, they learn that an artifact known as theRed Chain could help bind the world back together and make the rift disappear. To find the necessary materials to create the chain, the player gets assistance from either Adaman or Irida and visits each of Hisui's three lakes, receiving a necessary material from each of thelake guardians after passing their trials. Once all the materials have been gathered, the lake guardians combine them together to form the Red Chain. With the Red Chain in their possession, the player returns to Jubilife Village, only to learn that Kamado has led the Galaxy Team Security Corps to theTemple of Sinnoh atop Mount Coronet to deal with a Pokémon sighted at the space-time rift. After being reinstated in the Galaxy Team by Cyllene, the player climbs to the summit and defeats Kamado inbattle, finally making him see reason and apologize for doubting them.

Depending on whether the player went to look for the Red Chain materials with Adaman or Irida, eitherDialga orPalkia appears at the temple. However, when the player tries to use the Red Chain on it, the artifact is broken to pieces, forcing the player to confront theLegendary Pokémon. They manage to catch it, but the other Legendary Pokémon then appears as well, forcing them to retreat. Using a clue given by the Legendary Pokémon the player caught, Laventon crafts theOrigin Ball, a one-of-a-kindPoké Ball created from the Red Chain's fragments and a sample of theOrigin Ore, which they then decide to use to stop the Legendary Pokémon at Mount Coronet. The player returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, where the Legendary Pokémon transforms into itsOrigin Forme, destroying the temple in the process, before battling the player. The player defeats it and uses the Origin Ball to catch it, causing the space-time rift to disappear and returning the sky back to normal. With the appearance of both Dialga and Palkia, the Diamond and Pearl Clans realize that they were both worshipping real deities and resolve their conflict.

After a festival to celebrate the player's success, Volo asks them to investigate the Plates and collect the ones they don't own yet. The player travels around Hisui and collects the remaining Plates, the majority of which are awarded by Legendary Pokémon after they are caught. Once the player has collected 17 of the 18 Plates, Volo tells them ofGiratina, a Legendary Pokémon as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, which was banished toanother world due to its cruelty. He takes the player to the ruins of the Temple of Sinnoh, where he reveals that he was the one who caused the space-time rift to appear by seeking out Giratina, in the hopes that Dialga and Palkia's appearance would make Arceus appear and allow him to use its power to create a new, superior world, which would destroy the current world in the process. He challenges the player to a battle and loses, but Giratina then appears by his side and also battles the player, transforming into its Origin Forme midway through the battle. Once Giratina is defeated, Volo hands the playerthe final Plate, at which point the player's Celestica Flute transforms into theAzure Flute. Volo is surprised by Arceus having chosen the player instead of him and leaves in anger, swearing to one day conquer Arceus and create a new world, even if it will take him centuries to do so.

Once the player has caught at least one of every non-Mythical Pokémon species, they return to the Temple of Sinnoh and play the Azure Flute, granting them access to theHall of Origin, where Arceus challenges them. Once the player has emerged victorious, Arceus willingly sends afragment of itself to join them and grants them theLegend Plate, which allows it to change itstype mid-battle.

Features

The game takes place in theHisui region, a version ofSinnoh in the past. It featuresRowlet,Cyndaquil, andOshawott asfirst partner Pokémon, andRei andAkari asplayer characters. NPCs include the members of theGalaxy Expedition Team and theDiamond andPearl Clans.

New Pokémon

Seven new Pokémon (Wyrdeer,Kleavor,Ursaluna,Basculegion,Sneasler,Overqwil, andEnamorus) have been introduced. Wyrdeer, Kleavor, and Ursalunaevolve fromStantler,Scyther, andUrsaring respectively, while Sneasler and Overqwil evolve from the newly-addedHisuian forms ofSneasel andQwilfish, respectively, and Basculegion evolves from the newly-addedWhite-Striped Form ofBasculin.Enamorus debuts in both its Incarnate Forme and Therian Forme.

New Pokémon forms

Sixteen newHisuian forms (forGrowlithe,Arcanine,Voltorb,Electrode,Typhlosion,Qwilfish,Sneasel,Samurott,Lilligant,Zorua,Zoroark,Braviary,Sliggoo,Goodra,Avalugg, andDecidueye) have been added. Other new forms have been added forDialga,Palkia, andBasculin.

Overworld

  • The player receives a device called theArc Phone early in the story, which distinctly resemblesArceus. Using it allows the player to see the map and teleport to certain locations (such as base camps), as well as view theirtasks.
  • Allwild Pokémon are visible in the overworld like asymbol encounter, although colliding with these Pokémon does not immediately cause abattle to begin. Different species of Pokémon respond to the player differently, with some having no reaction, some fleeing, and some becoming aggressive and directly attacking the player.
    • If the player sustains too many attacks from aggressive Pokémon, they will berescued. They will gradually have their health restored when not being targeted by a Pokémon.
    • The player may catch a Pokémon from the overworld by throwing aPoké Ball at it without having to start a battle first. However, if an aggressive Pokémon is targeting the player, it cannot be caught without starting a battle or stunning it with a throwable item. Hitting a Pokémon from behind with a Poké Ball increases the likelihood of capturing it.
    • To battle a wild Pokémon, the player must throw one of their own Pokémon's Poké Balls at or near it. Hitting the wild Pokémon with the ball from behind will surprise it, causing it to not move on its first turn.
    • The player can only teleport if not being targeted by a Pokémon.
  • Particularly strong and large wild Pokémon with glowing red eyes, known asalpha Pokémon, can appear. These Pokémon are always aggressive and have their stats increased in battle. If one is caught, it will lose its stat boosts and its eyes will no longer glow, although they will still be red.
  • In the overworld, the player has access to new actions: they can crouch to be less visible to wild Pokémon (although this slows movement), roll in order to quickly move a short distance while avoiding attacks from aggressive Pokémon, or throw certain items with the aid of an aiming reticle (including Poké Balls as well as variousBerries and other such items which can affect the behavior of wild Pokémon).
  • Due to the changes to wild Pokémon encounters,tall grass now serves a different purpose: the player is less visible to wild Pokémon while moving through it.
  • TheCelestica Flute is a newKey Item that allows the player to summon Pokémon andride on them, similar to theRide Pager. There are five Pokémon that can be ridden on, each unlocked at a different point in the story:Wyrdeer (which can travel on land at high speed and jump),Ursaluna (which can findhidden items similarly to theDowsing Machine),Basculegion (which can travel over water and jump up to two times before landing),Sneasler (which can climb walls), andHisuianBraviary (which can travel through the air).
    • Basculegion is unique among the rideable Pokémon in that Poké Balls and other items can still be thrown while riding it; if this is done while it is jumping, the game will temporarily slow down to allow for increased precision.
  • Pokémon can be sent out of their Poké Balls outside of battle; while this can be done no matter what the situation, specific uses include using them to gather items from trees and mineral deposits, which gives the Pokémon used a small amount ofexperience (depending on the area) and increases theirfriendship.
    • Some trees and ore deposits shake; if the player attempts to harvest items from these, a wild Pokémon will appear instead and immediately begin a battle.
  • Real-time (that is, the time according to theNintendo Switch's internal clock) no longer determines in-gametime, and the game instead uses its own system by which time passes significantly faster. It is also possible to change the time immediately by resting.
    • Every minute corresponds to an hour in-game; thus, an in-game day is 24 minutes long.
    • InJubilife Village, time does not pass unless the player rests.
    • Every two nights that pass change the moon phase. The full moon allowsUrsaring toevolve intoUrsaluna.
  • The conditions and mechanics ofdefeat have been changed:
    • The player may take damage in the overworld from attacks by wild Pokémon or by falling from large heights. This damage will gradually heal over time unless the player is being targeted by a wild Pokémon. Taking too much damage will cause the player to be rescued, upon which the player will lose several of the items in theirsatchel (but none of theirmoney) and return to the last visited base camp.
      • If the player has achievedFirst Star rank and is connected to theinternet, items that they drop upon being rescued may appear in other players' games aslost satchels. If a player collects a lost satchel, the items will be returned to their owner's item storage, and the player who collected the satchel will be rewarded withMerit Points that can then be used to purchase items at thetrading post inJubilife Village.
    • Defeat does not occur after all of the Pokémon in the player'spartyfaint.
      • If the player's entire party is knocked out during a battle against aTrainer, their party is fully healed and they are given the opportunity to restart the battle with no penalty.
      • If the player's entire party is knocked out during a battle against a wild Pokémon, the battle ends, and there is no other direct consequence. However, since fainted Pokémon cannot be sent out, the player cannot send out their Pokémon (or, by extension, start another battle) if their entire party is knocked out, leaving the player largely defenseless against wild Pokémon until their Pokémon are healed.
  • Outside ofJubilife Village,Pokémon Centers have been replaced by base camps, which allow for purchasing items, accessing Pokémon stored inpastures, accessing the item storage, resting to heal or change thetime, andcrafting.
  • Noble Pokémon, Pokémon sacred to the people of Hisui that have become frenzied by strange lightning, act as boss battles, with five being fought throughout the story. To defeat a noble Pokémon, the player must throw special balms at it to gradually calm it down while avoiding its attacks. Under certain circumstances, the noble Pokémon will drop its guard and allow the player to engage it in a Pokémon battle; upon having itsHP reduced to 0, the noble Pokémon will be temporarily stunned, making balms more effective and allowing the player to throw them without any risk of being attacked. After completing the story, the player can redo battles against nobles indefinitely, with their fastest defeat of each being tracked.
  • Completing aPokédex entry now requires more than just catching a certain Pokémon once;research tasks can also be completed, which are tasks involving the Pokémon (such as catching multiple, defeating multiple, seeing it use certainmoves, etc.). A Pokémon's research level will rise as more of its corresponding research tasks are completed, filling out more of its entry, up to a maximum of level 10 (a complete entry).
    • Obedience has been changed: it is now possible for any Pokémon to disobey even if they are notoutsider Pokémon, and their obedience is based on thelevel they were obtained at rather than their current level. Completing research tasks and Pokédex entries rewards the player with points, and if they have obtained enough of these, they can increase inrank, which increases the maximum level a Pokémon can be obtained at without becoming disobedient.

Pokémon mechanics

  • Similarly toPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!,EVs andIVs have been replaced byeffort levels.
  • The mechanics ofEvolution have been changed. If a Pokémon achieves the requirement for an Evolution (other than those that useEvolution items), it will not evolve immediately, but instead gain the ability to evolve, with the player being able to activate the Evolution at any point afterwards by pressing the X button while selecting it in the menu (at which point it cannot be canceled with the B button). Additionally, severalmethods of Evolution have been slightly changed:
  • The process of learningmoves has been altered. When a Pokémon that already knows four moves reaches a sufficient level for learning another move, it does not immediately attempt to learn the move, but instead "gets the idea" for the move. At any time outside of battle, the player can freely have a Pokémon forget its moves and learn moves that it has gotten the idea for, and any moves that it forgets in this process can later be relearned using the same method. This effectively means that the player has constant access to the services of theMove Reminder andMove Deleter of previous games without having to pay anything for them.
  • The player can now freely alter a Pokémon'snickname at any time outside of battle. As such, they are no longer prompted to nickname Pokémon after obtaining them, and theName Rater has been removed.
  • Abilities,held items,breeding,Eggs, andPokérus have been removed.

Item mechanics

  • The player'sBag is replaced by asatchel, which can only store a finite quantity of items. Similarly to the Bag inGeneration I games, the satchel consists of "slots" for different items, though the number of these slots can be increased by paying Bagin, a member of the Galaxy Team, at theGalaxy Hall. Excess items can be placed in the item storage, which has enough space for all items but is only accessible from certain areas.
  • Items can now be combined in order to create new items viacrafting. The player can only craft an item if they own the recipe for that item. Crafting can be performed either at a workbench (where the player has access to all of their items) or in any location via the usage of theCrafting Kit (in which case the player only has access to items in their satchel).
  • Poké Balls have an"old-fashioned" appearance in this game, with a wooden bottom half, a buckle-shaped metal-colored implement instead of a button, and a valve on top that puffs out steam on a successful catch.
  • Items sell for a quarter of their purchase price instead of a half.

Battle mechanics

  • The player character can now move around duringbattles. In most battles againstwild Pokémon, the battle will end automatically if the player moves too far away from it; in other battles, such as battles againstTrainers, there are invisible barriers to prevent this, and in-battle movement consequently has no effect.
  • The game uses a revised system for battles:
    • A Pokémon canmaster its moves byleveling up. A mastered move can be used in one of two new styles in addition to the regular version: the strong style, which increases the move's power,accuracy, and/or other effects, but lowersaction speed; or the agile style, which decreases the move's power and/or other effects but raises action speed. Using a move in either style consumes twoPP instead of one unless the move has only one PP left.
    • Turns have been drastically altered with the introduction of theaction order. In this new system, a turn consists solely of one side performing an action, rather than both sides performing an action in the same turn. Which side is able to act on each turn is decided by each Pokémon's action speed, which is affected by a variety of factors, primarily each Pokémon'sSpeed stat (with a possibility of one side acting for multiple consecutive turns). During the battle, it is possible to check which sides will be able to act for the next six turns.
      • Moves that previously had increasedpriority (such asQuick Attack) now increase the user's action speed, while moves that previously had decreased priority orrequired recharging (such asHyper Beam) now decrease the user's action speed.
      • The player is only presented with a menu (and thus has an opportunity torun,switch Pokémon, or use anitem) when it is their turn.
    • Status conditions have received multiple changes:
      • Thefreeze andsleep status conditions have been removed; they are replaced by the new status conditionsfrostbite anddrowsy. Drowsy makes the Pokémon sometimes fail to move (similar toparalysis) and increases the damage it takes from direct attacks, while frostbite repeatedly damages the Pokémon (similar toburn andpoison) and reduces itsSpecial Attack.
      • Burn, poison, and frostbite cause damage after each action by the affected Pokémon, due to the alterations to turns.
      • Status conditions now automatically wear off after several turns. Furthermore, having a status condition no longer renders a Pokémon immune to other status conditions; instead, if a Pokémon is afflicted with a status condition, it will replace any condition it had previously. The Pokémon can be re-inflicted with the same status condition; in that case, the turn count for it will be reset.
      • Flinching is not present in this game. Instead, moves thatcause flinching in other games will instead lower the target's action speed.
    • Stat changes have received multiple alterations:
      • Stat changes now simultaneously affect both physical and special stats, rather than only one of the two as most did previously.
      • Stat changes now wear off after several turns.
      • Increases or decreases to the same stat can no longer stack. Attempting to increase or decrease a stat that has already been altered in such a way has no effect besides resetting the number of turns before the change wears off.
      • Accuracy andevasion can no longer be affected by stat changes in the same way as other stats. Instead, a Pokémon can temporarily obscure itself, which makes attacks used against it more likely to miss.
    • The following mechanics from previous games are absent:

Connectivity

As with other games on Nintendo Switch, the game is not compatible with other games of the same generation. The game supports online connectivity andtrading with other players of Legends: Arceus, but does not includebattles between players. The game receivedPokémon HOME compatibility on May 18, 2022, as part of the version 2.0.0 update. Pokémon fromPokémon Scarlet and Violet can still be transferred to this game, but Pokémon that have been transferred to any later game starting withPokémon Legends: Z-A become incompatible.

Any Pokémon brought in from outside of the game (and vice versa) will have their Poké Ball displayed as aStrange Ball, due to the invalid Poké Ball ID not being otherwise recognized in this game. Additionally, when a Pokémon originating from another game first enters this game, its moveset is changed to its four most recent level-up moves by default (though the player can make alterations as of HOME's version 3.0.0, released on May 30, 2023), but its original moves will be restored if it is returned to HOME. The Pokémon will also not have itsorigin mark displayed if it was brought fromPokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Legends: Arceus save files on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles.

Only Pokémon in theHisui Pokédex can be transferred into Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In addition, non-Hisuianregional forms of those Pokémon cannot be transferred in, with the exception ofAlolanVulpix and AlolanNinetales.

Reception

It holds a rating of 83% onMetacritic, based on 116 critic reviews.[1]Nintendo Life gave the game a 9 out of 10, praising "its emphasis on extremely rewarding exploration, addictive catching mechanics, a fine roster of Pokémon and a genuine sense of scale that's unlike anything in the series".[2] Gaming magazineFamitsu gave Pokémon Legends: Arceus a score of 38 out of 40.[3]IGN rated the game a "Good" 7.0/10,[4] pointing that "its otherwise exciting attempt at a genre-shift is set in a disappointingly empty, ugly, and at times tedious world." AndEurogamer recommended the game noting that "Pokémon Legends: Arceus is flimsy and compulsive and exhilaratingly new."[5]
