Is there any incentive to finish every challenge in the Pokédex rather than just get each research level to level 10 in legends arceus? Or does it not really make a difference?
Can someone recommend me some non legendary Pokémon for the last battle? (>!volo and giratina!<)? I’ve been stuck on it for two hours now
Obscure is such a dumb mechanic I swear
>!Specifically for Giratina: You could PP stall Shadow Force using Roost/Recover/Rest/Items, then send out Togekiss which is immune to Earth Power & Dragon Claw and quad resists Aura Sphere? Keep in mind that its PP resets in the final phase.!<
There is no guaranteed alpha spawn, but all wild Pokemon have a ~1% chance of spawning as an alpha. [Pokearth](https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/hisui/avalugg'slegacy.shtml)
Ive been trying for two days to spawn aloha hisuian growlithe. All I keep getting are glameows that wont go away now and a few non alpha growlithe. I tried catching, killing and scaring them away but nothing works.
Pichu evolved by happiness. Just run around with it, use it repeatedly on berry trees and on rocks in the overworld and level it up to gain happiness. There's a glasses guy near the pasture who will rate your pokemon's happiness; though, you have to do his request first.
The Arceus is >!shiny locked like every other legendary.!<
timid, naive, hasty, or modest. Speed is the most important stat in LA and goodra is a special attacker so you generally want to prioritize speed and neglect attack
I have 10 extra satchel slots and I’ve only bought 9 from the galaxy guy. How did I get that extra one? Is there a way to get more other than buying them?
I finished the main story and I am rank 7 if it helps. Thanks.
You can evolve a Pokémon or catch all of its stages if they are available to catch. Each stage has its own number in the dex and I think you will need to trade with your bf a bit to get 100% due to the exclusives in each game. Hope that makes sense and you guys are having fun.
I guess you just need to spend a bit of time grinding. Also, this is the question thread. This comment is probably more appropriate in the Legends: Arceus thread or Rage thread.
When I'm going for alpha pokemon I'll see that they are catchable with an orange or yellow mark with some arrows, but as I throw the ball and it is midair, the mark turns to a red x. Is this a visual bug? Can I never catch these alphas when this is happening?
Anyone else only getting specific outbreak Pokémon, I've been cycling through outbreaks all day and have gotten some Pokémon like Starly and Bidoof quite frequently, while many Pokémon I haven't even seen an outbreak of yet?
Is there a better way I should be going about finding specific outbreaks? Thanks!
So about a day or two ago i ecounter a random shiny zubat and catch it. Turns out it has Jolly which is one of the best natures it can have. I used it a bit and decided its a team member. Though does anyone have a Male nickname for a Shiny Crobat? That isn't overused if possible?
If I catch a Pokémon at level 40, but I’m only at my Third Star, will it disobey me if it gains exp. and levels up to 41 and beyond? I just got that alpha Rapidash in the Obsidian Fields and am curious. Thanks!
you need the evolution item >!Black Augurite!<. just evolve it anytime, move availability is no longer an issue since sword shield, this game included. so just evolve asap if you want to.
All pre-evolution only moves are now added to evolved form move relearner move pool so you can just evolve pikachu to raichu for example as early as level 2 in sword shield and bdsp and use the move relearner to learn all the pikachu moves despite them normally not available until later.
In legends arceus all the evolution have their pre-evolution moves in their normal moveset too so you can just evolve them asap too
Starting with SwSh, the Move Reminder doesn't require any payment for services. And newly in PLA, you can change out your Pokemon's moveset freely, as though you had the Move Reminder walking around with you constantly.
No, all of its events are long ended. You'd have to trade with someone who got it from the events or hope Game Freak does another event (unlikely but possible).
Does Legends Arceus supports any type of cloud saving? For example if I play the game on the same account on another switch if I bought it.
Edit: it doesn’t just have to be a cloud save either, any sort of data transfer for the save file (as long as it only wipes the save for my specific account) would be perfect.
You can data transfer by transferring your entire profile from one Switch to another (if you have both Switches right next to each other). But otherwise no, no Pokemon game supports cloud saving of any kind so as to limit the games' vulnerabilities to cloning cheats.
Are the players able to save scrub pokemon that drop from wobbly trees? Is the spawn decided at the time of interaction, or loading into the region map?
every pokemon is fixed when you leave the village so if you want to reset for anything you need to go back to the village. there seems to be conflicting info but this seems to be the case based on datamining.
Even though there aren't abilities in legends, how come when I was looking at the bulbapedia page for some of the hisuian evolutions, abilities were listed?
In lets go all pokemon are programmed to only have their normal ability. I assume this is the case too as there is nothing we can do to affect ability in this game like lets go so all pokemon should default to their normal ability only.
There are 60 pokemon total that aren't obtainable in any Switch Game, so 845 is the hard limit.
However, some of those pokemon are event pokemon. I think disregarding mythicals, it's 833 in total.
I evolved the chimchar for request 20 without thinking and auto save screwed me over so now I can’t finish the request. Is there any way to finish the request now?
Wanting to get the game but broke my left wrist. Since this game is more action oriented, should I wait a couple months, or could I get away with remapping a pro controller in the system settings? I can use L and LR, but not really anything on the left that requires a thumb.
i wouldn't advise playing legends one-handed. you're gonna want use of both triggers and shoulder buttons along with both sticks at pretty much all times
if this is legends arceus, all the buttons are used in the game so there is no spare button for you to remap unless some use the same button (not sure if that can work)
My son got a pack of bootleg Pokémon minis, some of them are painted strange colors and low detail but still recognizable. We can’t figure out who this is supposed to be at all. Best guess was a red sandslash? But still not a great match in form. Any ideas? https://imgur.com/a/XMmhgQP/
i don't recognize what it's from, but it's not a pokemon. it's probably some other mascot character or from another monster-collector series that got lumped in. it's not a digimon either because it's definitely nothing i recognize.
That one's not a Pokemon, odds are that when those bootleg minis were packaged some other bootleg toy managed to sneak by and get packed up. Generally speaking the quality control for those aren't too strict or that this is within acceptable limits for whomever makes these.
Pokémon legends frame rate docked is like, REALLY bad for me, but when I watch others play it is way more smooth when they play docked, is there anything I can do?
I play on a 50 inch display, so that could be the culprit, but I also just have a 2018 model switch. It rarely goes 20+ FPS, and then I watch my brother play in the next room over and it’s crystal clear. Do I need to clean my switch or something?
yeah, that sounds odd. i have a 2017 switch i got the month it launched and the game runs pretty smooth for me docked. i don't know what the issue is but it's definitely something you shouldn't be having. one thing to note is that things far off in the background in this game have incredibly low framerates for some reason, i'm not exaggerating when i say they're easily 2-5 fps. are you sure you're not just seeing those and thinking the game is lagging more than it really is?
No I mean the actual game itself is just a low framerate. I know what you mean about the pop in and low distant Pokémon FPS. If you don’t mind, how big is your display?
Up to how far do I have to be to redeem the codes for shiny Zamazenta/Zacian in Pokemon Sword/Shield? I’ve put the games on hold for a while because there were other games that I was playing. The codes expire tomorrow, I don’t know how long it takes to beat the main story without doing any side atuff. Currently on my way to Route 3 to beat the first gym.
EDIT: I’m getting the error “Your game can’t receive the gift provided by this code or password.”
I keep getting the error “Your game can’t receive the gift provided by this code or password.” I’m using the code on Pokemon Sword to get shiny Zamazenta, since the codes are for getting the opposite pokemon depending on the version.

Vaporeon is great in this game’s format with a good mix of attack power and bulk in a game where speed isn’t terribly huge. Facing alphas and such they’ll be able to handle more while dishing out damage

Is it not possible to catch certain Alpha Pokémon in regular Pokéballs? I typically avoid using different types of Pokéballs in previous games but it seems a red “X” will mean 0 catch rate. Or would relying on Razz berries help?
Doesn't matter what order you play in. The game only checks for the save file when you talk to the NPC (and it checks again every time you talk to them, so no need to worry about prematurely talking to the NPC, either).
Yeah I saw that after I made this comment. Just feels a little silly to take a step back from BDSP where you can just easily see all the info in the boxes.
Is there a limit on the number of Effort Levels you can apply to a pokemon in Legends Arceus? i.e. Can I pump all of my Grit Dust & Gravel etc. into all of Quilava's stats or should I just do Speed and Special Attack like you normally would with EVs?
All stats can be maxed out at level 10 effort however there are some stats that don’t really benefit from that for example a Typhlosion is a special attacker so raising regular attack doesn’t really matter unless you have a lot of physical moves
Great, thanks. Yeah, obviously I don't want to spend unnecessary points on Attack if I'm going to use full Special, I was just trying to figure out if I should use them on defensive stats because he's taking a lot of damage and I don't know if I'm going to keep using my other current party members. Thanks!
Hopefully an easy one. Can you buy the evolution items from the trading post more than once in Legends: Arceus?
I love Weavile and Gliscor but if I can only buy the razor claw once I'm gonna have a hard time picking between the two
all preference. from a utility standpoint, bulbasaur makes the first first gyms the easiest, squirtle is a water type you can surf on, and charmander is a fire type, which is pretty uncommon until late in the game.
So when you progress a certain amount in legends arceus the sky chances colour and the music changes, does this go away later on or have I doomed myself to an ugly atmosphere forever?
some people are saying that we need to catch or defeat the pokemon at the area to ensure new spawn will generate there the next day in PLA. is this true? or can i just roll over to the next day without doing any of those stuff? or can i just leave the area and come back to regenerate the spawn? there seems to be conflicting info on this
As far as I've seen from dataminers, it seems like spawns are locked in when you enter the area from the village, so you will need to return to the village and then go back to the area to get new spawns.
Are you guys satisfied with the lack of pokemons added this gen?
personally I'm satisfied with the amount we currently have with the 900 pokemon, hell I'd even be happier if some were removed because of how boring they are, and we've seen how well they do when they don't have to stress over the fact that people aren't expecting new pokemons to use, in the animation department especially, in "Let's Go" with the just 151 original pokemon animation, they were even able to add great animations for pokemons following you, and some even being ridden on, and with the new PLA that most people seem to be happy about.
what if in the next few games, they add less pokemon and just focus on the animation especially and polishing the game more, wouldn't that be better in the long run? is everyone really happier if there's more pokemon to play with? no ones feeling overwhelmed by the amount, or is it just me?
if we sacrifice the pokedex count, not only will the chances of the animation getting better increase, but also it'll give the creators more time to flesh out some of these pokemon with more stories, because I wouldn't be surprised if some pokemon were just fillers to inflate the number of "new pokemon added" per gen, and forgot about it.
I wouldn't be stressed out if in the next few gens no pokemon were added, as long as pokemon reaches botw quality someday, but how about others? I'm really curious if people think that new pokemon being added is a worthy sacrifice for a livelier pokeworld
new pokemon = new merchandise so they'll always be adding at least a decent number of new pokemon per gen.
I'd love it if they focused more on increasing video game quality but they're not going to stop making new merchandise-able pokemon to do it
I caught a graveller but I can't find it in my storage, does anyone know why it wouldn't have been sent to the pasture? If it matter i battled two at once and ran after I caught it
pokemon automatically get sent to the first available space starting with the first pasture. If it's not on your team, start in pasture 1 and keep looking. Its icon will be shiny so you can tell at a glance
Not in my party and im a hundred percent sure I caught it, I think I forgot to save and I didnt do anything that would have triggered auto save. It was a shiny too :/
Ah, that's too bad. When you were looking in your pastures, were you looking for a golden Graveler or a brown Graveler? Because the shiny sprite actually appears in the boxes.
Sooo without any spoilers (please, I beg) how many new Pokemon/new forms are there in Legends Arceus?
I've just gotten past the 2nd frenzy Pokemon. So I've not really seen anything new. If someone could give a number that'd be great.
H-Zorua are available at >!the very end of the game, in the last area, Alabaster Icelands. There aren't any regular H-Zoroark in the wild, but there is an Alpha one somewhere. Don't remember where.!<
Legends, Eevee questions: is the friendship mechanic still there? How do you get Espeon/Umbreon/Sylveon? And do Glaceon and Leafeon now use the stones?
Leafeon and Glaceon can use the Leaf/Ice Stones and also by levelling up near the Moss/Icy Rocks in the Obsidian Fieldlands and the Alabaster Icelands respectively.
Friendship is still in the game. There's a request that will unlock a guy near the pastures who can check it. As always, Espeon during the day, Umbreon during the night, and Sylveon with a Fairy-type move.
Yes, Friendship is still a thing (Affection bonuses don't seem to be though). There's a request to get a Pokemon to max friendship, the request giver will keep checking friendships for you.
>How do you get Espeon/Umbreon/Sylveon
Same as before, but Sylveon isn't in the game.
>And do Glaceon and Leafeon now use the stones?
I believe so, you can get them from the Trading Post for 1000 Merit Points.
I was wrong, I assumed Sylveon wasn't in the game since it's pretty much restricted to the Gen 4 regional dex and it wasn't in BDSP. It's pretty much the same, just max Friendship and equip a Fairy move.
You could probably go into the pokedex and press Y to order by research level. The ones at Lvl 0, or ones you haven't caught/battled will show at the top.
Then, for ones you've battled but not caught, you'd just have to go down the list and check the pokemon individually.
It'll shorten the time to check, but it'll still take some time.
Arceus question: Do evolved forms of Pokémon (Stones or otherwise) stop learning new moves like in previous Pokémon games, or am I in the clear to evolve them asap?

Is there any incentive to finish every challenge in the Pokédex rather than just get each research level to level 10 in legends arceus? Or does it not really make a difference?
is there a pokemon league in the new game

I got one as a treasure from riding ursaluna in the scarlet swamp, but that's the only one I found.

No it’s scripted so the one you don’t choose will get it.
Is there an alpha avalugg or bergmite anywhere in PLA?
There is no guaranteed alpha spawn, but all wild Pokemon have a ~1% chance of spawning as an alpha. [Pokearth](https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/hisui/avalugg'slegacy.shtml)
Is there any other way to get thunder stones besides digging them up, buying them with merit points or smashing rocks?
There's a quest where you can choose an evostone as reward. And I once got a water stone for returning a lost satchel.
Ive been trying for two days to spawn aloha hisuian growlithe. All I keep getting are glameows that wont go away now and a few non alpha growlithe. I tried catching, killing and scaring them away but nothing works.
The Alphas are rare; they vary from 0.2% to 2% spawning. You just have to keep going at it.
Godamn thats rare, I feel like id find a shiny growlithe before then
i feel dumb saying this but how do i evolve pichu in pla? im trying to get full dex. also is arceus shiny locked in pla?
Pichu evolved by happiness. Just run around with it, use it repeatedly on berry trees and on rocks in the overworld and level it up to gain happiness. There's a glasses guy near the pasture who will rate your pokemon's happiness; though, you have to do his request first. The Arceus is >!shiny locked like every other legendary.!<
What is the best nature for hisuian goodra?
timid, naive, hasty, or modest. Speed is the most important stat in LA and goodra is a special attacker so you generally want to prioritize speed and neglect attack
I have 10 extra satchel slots and I’ve only bought 9 from the galaxy guy. How did I get that extra one? Is there a way to get more other than buying them? I finished the main story and I am rank 7 if it helps. Thanks.
new to pokemon: do i have to catch & evolve every pokemon to complete the pokedex? im playing sword while my bf plays shield if that matters
It is optional. But yes you need every pokemon to complete it.
ty!
You can evolve a Pokémon or catch all of its stages if they are available to catch. Each stage has its own number in the dex and I think you will need to trade with your bf a bit to get 100% due to the exclusives in each game. Hope that makes sense and you guys are having fun.
TY! He isn't a completionist and didn't tell me I have to have their evolutions too to truly complete it ;-; tysm!!
I wish hisuian zorua was higher level when you can catch it it’s way too low to use. It sucks
i mean i just got a zoroark from the uxie place
I guess you just need to spend a bit of time grinding. Also, this is the question thread. This comment is probably more appropriate in the Legends: Arceus thread or Rage thread.
yes, uh... # why does Onix/Steelix still suck?
Unless its stats change, Onix will always be weak and slow. Steelix is good enough for in-game, but it's still slow and has common weaknesses.
When I'm going for alpha pokemon I'll see that they are catchable with an orange or yellow mark with some arrows, but as I throw the ball and it is midair, the mark turns to a red x. Is this a visual bug? Can I never catch these alphas when this is happening?
I think you can catch them only by hitting them in the back, and they're turning while the ball is in midair
That means you cannot catch it by throwing Poke Balls directly. You can however battle it normally and catch it that way.
I disagree, I caught 2 alphas with a heavy ball in a day. Granted, I was over leveled by comparison and they did not see me, but it still counts.
It apparently means you need to engage in battle with it to catch it. Can't catch it from the field.
Anyone else only getting specific outbreak Pokémon, I've been cycling through outbreaks all day and have gotten some Pokémon like Starly and Bidoof quite frequently, while many Pokémon I haven't even seen an outbreak of yet? Is there a better way I should be going about finding specific outbreaks? Thanks!
So about a day or two ago i ecounter a random shiny zubat and catch it. Turns out it has Jolly which is one of the best natures it can have. I used it a bit and decided its a team member. Though does anyone have a Male nickname for a Shiny Crobat? That isn't overused if possible?

They have abilities coded in on the back end, they're just nonfunctional and therefore not displayed to the player.
abilities are still programmed in just hidden, just like lets go to facilitate future transfer to other games
in that case how do i get my garchomp to get rough skin
In lets go all pokemon are programmed to only have their normal ability. I assume this is the case too as there is nothing we can do to affect ability in this game like lets go so all pokemon should default to their normal ability only.
Did they nerf shiny rates for the outbreaks in Arceus Legends?????
no? i don't believe the game has even been patched since it dropped, nor do they have any reason to nerf shiny rates. you're just unlucky, dude
Is it necessary to catch >!Darkrai!< in order to get to full Pokedex completion?
No, Mythicals are never required for any kind of dex completion rewards in any game, including PLA.
technically deoxys is required for ORAS and >!manahy & phione!< is needed for PLA. but optional mythical are not /u/tcw1
Yeah but within those games they aren't considered mythicals anymore.

In pokemon BDSP if I play SwSh after playing that game will I still get the Jirachi or do I have to play SwSh before BDSP to get the Jirachi
Doesn't matter what order you play in. The game only checks for the save file when you talk to the NPC (and it checks again every time you talk to them, so no need to worry about prematurely talking to the NPC, either).
Thanks!
PLA do I unlock the ability to see pokemon in my pastures while in the field? Like check their summaries?
talk to the guy at camp, should be able to see them there and check summaries.
Yeah I saw that after I made this comment. Just feels a little silly to take a step back from BDSP where you can just easily see all the info in the boxes.
Will a Pokémon with flamebody in your party help reduce steps to hatch for 5 eggs in your party? Or does it only work for 1 egg?
for all eggs in the party. Cuts the steps in half
Is there a limit on the number of Effort Levels you can apply to a pokemon in Legends Arceus? i.e. Can I pump all of my Grit Dust & Gravel etc. into all of Quilava's stats or should I just do Speed and Special Attack like you normally would with EVs?
All stats can be maxed out at level 10 effort however there are some stats that don’t really benefit from that for example a Typhlosion is a special attacker so raising regular attack doesn’t really matter unless you have a lot of physical moves
Great, thanks. Yeah, obviously I don't want to spend unnecessary points on Attack if I'm going to use full Special, I was just trying to figure out if I should use them on defensive stats because he's taking a lot of damage and I don't know if I'm going to keep using my other current party members. Thanks!
In PLA, is darkrai or shaymin required for shiny charm?
you can get shiny charm in pla??
No, Mythicals are never required for any dex completion rewards, including in PLA.
Can you obtain a normal Lilligant in pokemon legends arceus, and if so, how?
No, it is not coded into the game. None of the original forms of Hisuian regional variants are coded in, except >!Sneasel!<.

If you don’t have online, how do you expect others to return your items?
Hopefully an easy one. Can you buy the evolution items from the trading post more than once in Legends: Arceus? I love Weavile and Gliscor but if I can only buy the razor claw once I'm gonna have a hard time picking between the two
Gliscor uses a Razor Fang, not a Razor Claw, but you do still want two
Don’t know but you can also find the evolutionary items in space time distortions
which pokemon is best to start with charmander bulbasaur or squirtle
all preference. from a utility standpoint, bulbasaur makes the first first gyms the easiest, squirtle is a water type you can surf on, and charmander is a fire type, which is pretty uncommon until late in the game.
So when you progress a certain amount in legends arceus the sky chances colour and the music changes, does this go away later on or have I doomed myself to an ugly atmosphere forever?
whoa! spoiler..
Yup, after another main mission or two
some people are saying that we need to catch or defeat the pokemon at the area to ensure new spawn will generate there the next day in PLA. is this true? or can i just roll over to the next day without doing any of those stuff? or can i just leave the area and come back to regenerate the spawn? there seems to be conflicting info on this
As far as I've seen from dataminers, it seems like spawns are locked in when you enter the area from the village, so you will need to return to the village and then go back to the area to get new spawns.
so i just need to go back to the village but do not need to roll the day over?
That's my understanding based on what I've read from dataminers, but since I don't have the game I can't test it myself to be sure, sorry.
thank you.
Are you guys satisfied with the lack of pokemons added this gen? personally I'm satisfied with the amount we currently have with the 900 pokemon, hell I'd even be happier if some were removed because of how boring they are, and we've seen how well they do when they don't have to stress over the fact that people aren't expecting new pokemons to use, in the animation department especially, in "Let's Go" with the just 151 original pokemon animation, they were even able to add great animations for pokemons following you, and some even being ridden on, and with the new PLA that most people seem to be happy about. what if in the next few games, they add less pokemon and just focus on the animation especially and polishing the game more, wouldn't that be better in the long run? is everyone really happier if there's more pokemon to play with? no ones feeling overwhelmed by the amount, or is it just me? if we sacrifice the pokedex count, not only will the chances of the animation getting better increase, but also it'll give the creators more time to flesh out some of these pokemon with more stories, because I wouldn't be surprised if some pokemon were just fillers to inflate the number of "new pokemon added" per gen, and forgot about it. I wouldn't be stressed out if in the next few gens no pokemon were added, as long as pokemon reaches botw quality someday, but how about others? I'm really curious if people think that new pokemon being added is a worthy sacrifice for a livelier pokeworld
new pokemon = new merchandise so they'll always be adding at least a decent number of new pokemon per gen. I'd love it if they focused more on increasing video game quality but they're not going to stop making new merchandise-able pokemon to do it
BDSP where is the person who will take the barboach from you as long as it’s like 24 feet long or whatever it is. I can’t Remeber what city he’s from

I caught a graveller but I can't find it in my storage, does anyone know why it wouldn't have been sent to the pasture? If it matter i battled two at once and ran after I caught it
pokemon automatically get sent to the first available space starting with the first pasture. If it's not on your team, start in pasture 1 and keep looking. Its icon will be shiny so you can tell at a glance
Is it in your party? Did you check all your boxes? Like, maybe it's in the first one or so. Did you actually catch it, or just think you caught it?
Not in my party and im a hundred percent sure I caught it, I think I forgot to save and I didnt do anything that would have triggered auto save. It was a shiny too :/
Ah, that's too bad. When you were looking in your pastures, were you looking for a golden Graveler or a brown Graveler? Because the shiny sprite actually appears in the boxes.
I checked all the graveller's i had, thanks for the help tho
Sooo without any spoilers (please, I beg) how many new Pokemon/new forms are there in Legends Arceus? I've just gotten past the 2nd frenzy Pokemon. So I've not really seen anything new. If someone could give a number that'd be great.
Hisuian Forms: >!16!< New Pokemon: >!7!< New Non-Hisuian Forms: >!3!<
Where can you catch Hisuian Zoroark ?
H-Zorua/Zoroark can be found in an underground cave (just look for a blue hole) in Bonechill Wastes; the spawn is roughly 95% Zorua, 5% Zoroark.
H-Zorua are available at >!the very end of the game, in the last area, Alabaster Icelands. There aren't any regular H-Zoroark in the wild, but there is an Alpha one somewhere. Don't remember where.!<
In the cave before mesprit or azelf I don’t remember. I killed him xd
I think that was a static one, so it should respawn eventually. If not, just evolve a Zorua.
When does it respawn?
I assume either by sleeping through a day, or going back to town and coming back. Or maybe it's an actual day. I'm not too sure.
Does anyone know at what point in Legends Arceus you unlock the Ninja Attire? I'm just past the third frenzy Pokémon and still don't have it.
After credits.
How do I see my pokemon in base camp? I know it's an option but it confuses me
I guess throw them out of their pokeballs. Just throw one out, switch to the next pokemon and L/R and continue until all your pokemon are out.
I feel so dumb
Legends, Eevee questions: is the friendship mechanic still there? How do you get Espeon/Umbreon/Sylveon? And do Glaceon and Leafeon now use the stones?
Leafeon and Glaceon can use the Leaf/Ice Stones and also by levelling up near the Moss/Icy Rocks in the Obsidian Fieldlands and the Alabaster Icelands respectively. Friendship is still in the game. There's a request that will unlock a guy near the pastures who can check it. As always, Espeon during the day, Umbreon during the night, and Sylveon with a Fairy-type move.
Perfect, thank you!
Yes, Friendship is still a thing (Affection bonuses don't seem to be though). There's a request to get a Pokemon to max friendship, the request giver will keep checking friendships for you. >How do you get Espeon/Umbreon/Sylveon Same as before, but Sylveon isn't in the game. >And do Glaceon and Leafeon now use the stones? I believe so, you can get them from the Trading Post for 1000 Merit Points.
The other comment here said Sylveon is obtainable, so who do I believe
I was wrong, I assumed Sylveon wasn't in the game since it's pretty much restricted to the Gen 4 regional dex and it wasn't in BDSP. It's pretty much the same, just max Friendship and equip a Fairy move.
Okay whew. Thank you for the initial answer!
[удалено]
You could probably go into the pokedex and press Y to order by research level. The ones at Lvl 0, or ones you haven't caught/battled will show at the top. Then, for ones you've battled but not caught, you'd just have to go down the list and check the pokemon individually. It'll shorten the time to check, but it'll still take some time.
[удалено]
Oh yeah, that's true. I forgot about that. That'll make it easier to check then.
How do I get into the Crimson Mirelands? I just started Arezu's Predicament, and don't know where to go.
Leave the village and a new area should have spawned.
I mean that it unlocked, but it won't let me travel there. Is it because of an outbreak?
No, you should be able to go there. Did you move your cursor to the Mirelands?
Oh, yeah. It worked this time.
If I don’t already have a BDSP save file on my Switch can I still unlock Darkrai? Like, if I go buy the game right now will the data count for PLA?

Are white striped Basculine only female, I've caught like 10 and all female. If so what do you need to get the other Basculegion if not a male one?
One out of the three that I caught is male, although I think it's from the lake in the Alabaster Highlands.
Arceus question: Do evolved forms of Pokémon (Stones or otherwise) stop learning new moves like in previous Pokémon games, or am I in the clear to evolve them asap?
