Switch Pokemon Legends: Arceus

A WHOLE NEW POKÉMON ADVENTURE!

Examine, capture, and study wild Sinnoh Pokémon of the past to complete the region’s first Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a title that pays homage to the gameplay mechanics of the Pokémon games while introducing new action-RPG elements.

Explore the mythical region of Hisui, a vast territory that you may be familiar with, dominated by Mount Coronet. Discover different types of environments, from expanses of grass to forests, to bodies of water, to name a few. You will be able to explore the vast open areas of this region from all perspectives, riding special Pokémon that you will encounter along the way.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you will be given a vital task. Take on a series of research tasks and complete the first Pokédex of the region. Unlike the classic chapters of the series, you will not be able to simply catch Pokémon... to complete the Pokédex you will have to complete various tasks, such as making Pokémon evolve, or defeating them in battle!

FIGHT LIKE NEVER BEFORE

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you will have to master an innovative battle system, never before seen in the series. Fight alongside your Pokémon with innovative mechanics, such as the Quick Technique and the Power Technique, in dynamic and non-stop battles. The number of actions available varies based on the characteristics of the Pokémon and the selected techniques. A real novelty!

CALM THE FURY OF THE ROYAL POKÉMON

In between captures, you'll have to face the Royal Pokémon, sacred creatures protected by the Captains. These Pokémon have suddenly become ferocious due to a strange phenomenon that has struck the Hisui Region. Face them in battle to calm their fury!

CREATE THE TOOLS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE

For the first time, you will be tasked with crafting the tools you need to continue your adventure. Gather resources and create Poké Balls, Potions, and other items you will need to catch and battle with Trainers and wild Pokémon along the way. This RPG mechanic is new to Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR COACH

Visit the Tailor's Shop and Hair Salon in Giubilo Village to customize your character's (Luce or Luca) look. You'll find many different looks and hairstyles waiting for you, to make your adventure unique!

CATCH NEW REGIONAL FORMS OF POKÉMON

During your adventure, you'll discover new regional forms of Pokémon never before seen in the series, such as Hisui's Zorua. Catch them all to complete your Pokédex.
