Topic: Pokemon Legends Arceus

You should start a shiny hunting YouTube/twitch channel.

I’ve since found a shiny Shinx in an outbreak.

After so many hours of nothing, I feel truly spoiled now with four awesome shinies in a single day!

I want to replace staraptor with togekiss because I need more special attackers. The only special attacker I have right now is typhlosion. Togekiss has really good stats but weak moves besides moon blast. Any recommendations.

Just think of what coverage you need. If you need a counter for Dragons, Togekiss is your 'mon. Water types, get a Magnezone. You can also buy new moves from the lady at the dojo, I'm sure Togekiss can pick up Flamethrower that way for example.

@yegs88 I forgot about effort levels for togekiss. I'll test it's special attack then.

Is there any penalty in catching fully evolved pokemon. I just caught a 65 level infernape. and wondering if it's good to use him. Or does it come with drawbacks of any kind.

@Fujin Only that you don’t get the first two forms. If you don’t care about completing the Pokédex, no problem.

AFTER 2 MONTHS, BEATING THE MAIN AND POST GAME, FINISHING THE DEX AND FIGHTING ARCEUS, COLLECTING THE SHINY CHARM AND OBTAINING 46 SHINIES.....

.....I finally caught a big Buizel.

It took me a long time of trying and failing repeatedly to find an alpha buizel for that request, until I finally got a big normal one to complete it.
And then some time later I found the alpha buizel by chance, and caught it as a matter of principle. Only briefly did I consider blasting it off with the strongest attack at my disposal.

@Fizza Congrats! That one gave me a lot of trouble as well… And no way was I giving up the alpha.

@Fizza the final boss

@EelI I cannot believe it was easier to get Research Level 10 on everything (including Spiritomb and Unown!) to go and catch God than it was to find a sea weasel that was slightly taller than the rest. I like to think those 2 Buizels are the ancestors of the Floatzel I used in BDSP. It would give me some vindication for completing that damn quest.

Guys I just beat the main game yesterday and now want to focus on catching all pokemon to fight arceus. I want to know do you need to only catch all pokemon to fight arceus or do you also have to max all pokemon to research level ten as well.

@Fujin only catch.

@Eel Thanks

@BrazillianCara @Fizza Congrats. I'm still trying.

That side-quest is insane.

@Ralizah Just to rub salt into the wound, the game gave me a big enough Buizel about a month ago.... except it was an extremely rare Alpha variant. I'm not giving up a bloody Alpha to that fecker!

I just gave that guy an alpha Buizel, are they rare?

@Dogorilla Each alpha of a Pokemon has a roughly 1-2% chance of spawning in with every group of Pokemon. There are some guaranteed alphas strewn about the maps but Buizel isn't one of them. With how long it took though, I was genuinely considering giving that one out of defeat. However, I stuck to it and ended up finally finding it in a mass outbreak.

@Fizza Oh ok, I thought I'd found a loophole by giving him the alpha, I didn't realise that was hard to find in itself! I don't mind though, it's nice seeing the alpha Buizel standing by the gate looking comically large next to the little one.
