NINTENDO GAMES Légendes Pokémon Arceus FR Switch

Catch, observe and research wild Pokémon to create and populate Sinnoh's first Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch. Pokémon Legends: Arceus retains the core gameplay of previous Pokémon games and combines it with new action and RPG elements.

You arrive in Sinnoh, where the events from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl also take place. However, this story takes place much earlier, at a time when becoming a Pokémon Trainer or organizing a Pokémon League was not at all an issue. The Pokémon that roam here may look familiar to you, but the rugged environments are probably different from what you know of Sinnoh from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.

To catch Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you can observe them to learn more about their behavior, then sneak up to them, aim your Poké Ball and throw! You can also have your own Pokémon fight Pokémon you want to catch. Throw the Poké Ball containing your own Pokémon near a wild Pokémon to start a battle. You can decide which attacks your Pokémon should perform.

At the beginning of your journey to create the region's first Pokédex, you can choose Rowlet, Cyndaquil or Oshawott as your partner Pokémon. A professor found these Pokémon on various excursions in other regions and brought them to Sinnoh.
