Action meets RPG as the Pok~mon series reaches a new frontier Get ready for a new kind of grand, Pok~mon adventure in Pok~mon Legends: Arceus, a brand-new game from Game Freak that blends action and exploration with the RPG roots of the Pok~mon series. Embark on survey missions in the ancient Hisui region. Explore natural expanses to catch wild Pok~mon by learning their behavior, sneaking up, and throwing a well-aimed Pok~ BallTM. You can also toss the Pok~ Ball containing your ally Pok~mon near a wild Pok~mon to seamlessly enter battle. Travel to the Hisui region-the Sinnoh of old-and build the region's first Pok~dex Your adventure takes place in the expansive natural majesty of the Hisui region, where you are tasked with studying Pok~mon to complete the region's first Pok~dex. Mount Coronet rises from the center, surrounded on all sides by areas with distinct environments. In this era-long before the events of the Pok~mon Brilliant Diamond and Pok~mon Shining Pearl games-you can find newly discovered Pok~mon like Wyrdeer, an evolution of Stantler, and new regional forms like Hisuian Growlithe, Hisuian Zorua, and Hisuian Zoroark! Along the way, uncover the mystery surrounding the Mythical Pok~mon known as Arceus. Preorder for a special in-game costume and download the digital version for Heavy Balls! The Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set and a Baneful Fox Mask will be gifted to early purchasers of the Pok~mon Legends: Arceus game. You can receive it by choosing Get via internet in the Mystery Gifts* feature in your game, up until May 9th, 2022 at 4:59pm PT. Additionally, players who purchase and download the game before May 9th, 2022 at 4:59pm PT from Nintendo eShop will get an email with a code for 30 Heavy Balls which can be redeemed through the Mystery Gifts* feature until May 16th, 2022 at 4:59pm PT. Heavy Balls have a higher catch rate than regular Pok~ Balls, but you can't throw them quite as far. As the protagonist of this game, you'll meet Professor Laventon, who studies the ecology of Pok~mon as a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. Before long, you'll join the Galaxy Team yourself and get to work as a member of the Survey Corps. Your goal will be to meet every species of Pok~mon in the region! After receiving an assignment or a request and preparing for your next excursion, you'll set out from Jubilife Village to study one of the various areas of the Hisui region. There may be certain Pok~mon behaviors-or even entire species-that you witness only under the right conditions, such as during a particular time of day or in certain kinds of weather. Word has it that some Pok~mon even act in ways that are unique to their species! Keep an eye on your health while out adventuring-take too much damage from wild Pok~mon attacks or falling from high places and you'll be unable to go on! Battles in the Hisui region also have some unique properties. For the first time in the series, your Pok~mon unleash moves with the speedy agile style or the powerful strong style. These styles might also affect how many turns Pok~mon can take in a row! Encounter noble Pok~mon, special Pok~mon in the Hisui region that have received a mysterious blessing. These nobles are particularly powerful and are revered by the people of the region. But some strange phenomenon is now causing them to suddenly fly into a frenzy. To quell them, you will have to hit them with balms made from these noble Pok~mon's favorite foods. Jubilife Village is the main base of your adventures in Pok~mon Legends: Arceus. In Pok~mon Brilliant Diamond and Pok~mon Shining Pearl, this village has grown to be the bustling Jubilife City. There are also characters in Pok~mon Legends: Arceus who are ancestors of some familiar faces you may know. *An internet connection, Nintendo Account and approximately 2 hours of gameplay required to receive in-game bonus. ~2021Pok~mon. ~1995~2021 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc.
