Nintendo Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Switch

Catch, observe, and explore wild Pokémon to create the first complete Pokédex of the Sinnoh region – in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, coming to Nintendo Switch. Pokémon Legends: Arceus stays true to the core gameplay of previous Pokémon games while expanding it with new action and role-playing elements.

An adventure from the past of the Sinnoh region
You travel to the Sinnoh region, the setting of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl – but this story takes place long before there were Pokémon Trainers or a Pokémon League. You are surrounded by wild Pokémon that live in inhospitable areas. Here, you will discover Sinnoh from a perspective you haven’t seen in Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.

Catch Pokémon
To catch Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you will first study their behavior. Then, you sneak up on them and throw your Poké Ball! Your Pokémon companion can assist you in catching by battling wild Pokémon. Just throw the Poké Ball containing your Pokémon companion at a wild Pokémon to seamlessly switch into battle. Choose the moves your Pokémon knows to issue commands.

Meet your first partner Pokémon
So you don’t have to embark on your mission to create the first Pokédex of the region alone, you can choose Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as your partner. These three Pokémon were brought by a Pokémon Professor who encountered them on research trips to various regions.
