Catch, survey and research wild Pokmon to create and complete the Sinnoh region's first Pokdex in Pokmon Legends: Arceus, coming to Nintendo Switch on 28th January, 2022. Pokmon Legends: Arceus honours past Pokmon games' core gameplay while infusing new action and RPG elements.

You'll be brought to the Sinnoh region, the setting for Pokmon Diamond and Pokmon Pearl. But this story unfolds in a long-gone era, before ideas such as being a Pokmon Trainer or having a Pokmon League even existed. All around, you'll find Pokmon living wild in harsh environments that make for a Sinnoh unlike the region you may remember from the days of Pokmon Diamond and Pokmon Pearl.

To catch Pokmon in Pokmon Legends: Arceus, you can observe them to learn their behaviour, then carefully sneak up, aim your Pok Ball and let fly! You can also have your ally Pokmon battle wild Pokmon that you hope to catch. Just throw the Pok Ball holding your ally Pokmon near a wild Pokmon, and you'll seamlessly enter battle and command your Pokmon by choosing from moves it knows.

As you start off on your adventure to create the region's first Pokdex, you'll be able to choose Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as a partner. These three Pokmon arrived with a Pokmon Professor, who encountered them on research excursions to various regions.
