  • Опубліковано 11 тра 2024
  • This week, Pokemon Legends Arceus released, and it's easily the most unique and challenging Pokemon experience to date. Because the game's main goal is to catch every Pokemon in the Hisui Region, I put my skills to the test to see just how fast I could get that done. Today we're going to find out how easily you can catch every Pokemon in Legends Arceus! This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

      I’m sure they called this game a “spin-off” because it was such a huge departure from literally every other main series game and they were worried to take a risk. No other “spin-off” has introduced new pokemon and none have this scale. I am almost certain after this game’s success gen 9 will be very very similar

    to help your confusion on manaphy, its basically correlated to the book that they added in the canalave library in bdsp that mentions the requirements for the manaphy event to be unlocked in this game, 2 of the 3 pokemon having had their first or one of first appearances in the original manaphy movie.

      To add on to this, the book that states that it's these three Pokemon is specific to BDSP.
      "This book is titled "The Sea's Legend." It's a text that was only recently discovered, and its ancient letters were decoded."
      "Once upon a time in the East Sea, there was a Pokémon known as the prince. A brave human asked Pokémon living in the sea to let them see the prince."
      "Mantyke, Buizel, and a Qwilfish with huge spikes acknowledged the human's bravery and joined them. Together, they set off in a boat over the sunset-streaked sea, sailing through the ocean gate stretched over the waves."
      "News of this reached the ears of the prince, who went to meet the brave little party at the Seaside Hollow."

Moving around the overworld to catch Pokémon, engaging in boss fights with legends and myths, collecting resources to craft more powerful items; it all looks really engaging. Thanks to this video, I might find myself with a copy of this game in the near future.

      The level of gameplay advancement of the whole catching mechanics alone in this game leave S/M and let's Go miles behind with their 1-dimensional ball-tossing antics. And of course its streamlined; they have seamlessly unified what I mentioned above with levelling-up, exploring and evolution mechanics. It's all in plain sight (if you've actually played the game).

    If you are struggling with the final boss, remember Grit items, those will boost your stats as there are no EV's or IV's, My Goodra with a level 10 in HP, 9 in Defense and 10 in SpDef was able to tank hits really well alongside Shelter. It wasn't a walk in the park, but it made the battle much more manageable.

    I'm not gonna lie, when Volo hit me with the "Approaching Cynthia" motif at the start of his battle, I knew it was gonna be rough. I was *not* prepared for going two rounds with Giratina after the fact, even if I did make it through with my horribly underleveled team (two at like level 53, two at level 57, two at level 65)
    Even adding Palkia and Dialga to raise my average level still saw me struggle a few times. If I can offer one piece of advice for people going into this game, it'd definitely be "don't overlevel", because this fight is quite possibly the hardest one they've ever made, and even when I was struggling I loved every second of it because it was an actual challenge.

For Shaymin, you have to have a save file of Sword/Shield. And when it comes to Basculin evolving into Basculegion, you have to take about 300 recoil damage WITHOUT FAINTING.

    One mechanic that most people missed during their playthrough which makes catching agressive Pokémon a lot easier: Throw some Spoiled Apricorns, Balls of Mud or Snowballs at them until they get exhausted (the stat drop animation will play). Tgey will now be catchable witgout a battle for a short time and you can run to its back and get a simple Back Strike catch without having to battle or run away. If you use Sticky Globs, less of them are required to achieve the effect and this metgodcan also be used on Alpha Pokémon as well.
