An adventure from the past of the Sinnoh region. Catch, watch and explore wild Pokémon to create the first full Pokédex of the Sinnoh region – in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which is released for Nintendo Switch. Pokémon Legends: Arceus stays true to the basic gameplay of previous Pokémon games, adding new action and role-playing elements. You travel to the Sinnoh region, the scene of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl – but this story takes place in a time long before there was a Pokémon trainer or a Pokémon league. You are surrounded by wild Pokémon living in inhospitable areas. Here you will discover Sinnoh from a side you haven’t seen in Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
To catch Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you will first study their behavior. Then sneak up to them and throw your Pokéball! Your Pokémon companion can help you catch by fighting wild Pokémon. Simply throw the Pokéball your Pokémon companion is in at a wild Pokémon to seamlessly switch into battle. Select the attacks your Pokémon masters to give them commands.
