Pokémon Legends: Arceus brings a fresh perspective to the world of Pokémon, taking you back to an era before Trainers and the Pokémon League existed. Your task is to explore the rugged lands of the Sinnoh region, observe the behavior of wild Pokémon, and create the first Pokédex. The game cleverly combines the classic essence of the series with new action and RPG elements for a modern experience.
Catching happens seamlessly right in the world: spot your target, approach quietly, aim, and throw a Poké Ball — or call out your Pokémon and enter battle using familiar moves. At the beginning of your adventure, you choose your partner — Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott — and together you set out to write Sinnoh’s history.
