What are the purple glowing things in Pokémon Legends Arceus?

It's not a Pokémon.

There are a lot of mysterious things going on in the Pokémon world. Pokémon Legends Arceus is even stranger as it shows a world before humans and Pokémon learned to coexist. This leads to some rather strange and spooky occurrences happing around the Hisuian region.

If you have been exploring the map, you've probably seen strange purple glowing things hanging around. Some are behind buildings in Jubilife City, while others are floating on top of cliffs in the wild. These are actually wisps, and part of a larger collectibles quest in the game.

There are 108 of these wisps scattered around the region, and when you collect them all, Spiritomb will appear. This is the only way you can capture Spiritomb in the game, so you must collect all the wisps if you want to complete your Hisuian Pokedex.

Some wisps you won't be able to reach until you unlock certain ridable Pokémon, so you shouldn't expect to collect them all until the end of the game.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
