Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Pokémon Legends: Arceus, developed by GAME FREAK for the Nintendo Switch system, presents an adventure in the Hisui region—a land from an age long ago that will one day become known as the Sinnoh region. Exploring the world while catching Pokémon and filling in your Pokédex has always been a core part of the Pokémon series’ gameplay, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus continues that tradition while delivering an experience that goes beyond what has been offered so far. This new journey honors past games’ core gameplay while infusing new action and RPG elements.

As you explore the game’s natural expanses, you’ll encounter the Pokémon that call these grand vistas home. To catch Pokémon, you can observe them to learn their behavior, then carefully sneak up, aim your Poké Ball, and let fly!​ You can also have your ally Pokémon battle wild Pokémon that you hope to catch. Just throw the Poké Ball holding your ally Pokémon near a wild Pokémon, and you’ll seamlessly enter battle. Once battle begins, you’ll command your Pokémon by choosing from its known moves.​ This new gameplay approach offers an immersive, personal experience of a world brought to life by Pokémon and humans alike.​
