How to distract wild Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Catching Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus works a little differently than it has in other Pokémon games. While you can still battle wild Pokémon, there are other ways to catch them. You can sneak up on them and catch them off guard. But you can also distract the Pokémon to ensure that it doesn't spot you.
