How to get Arceus in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

This Legendary Pokémon isn't easy to find.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a unique entry in the Pokémon mainline franchise, offering a new way for players to explore the world, capture Pokémon, and fill out the Pokédex. One of the post-game activities that fans of the Pokémon franchise have grown accustomed to is hunting down Legendary Pokémon, and there are plenty of Legendary Pokémon for researchers to track down in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, including the star of this iteration, Arceus.

Players must complete the Hisuian PokéDex by filing all non-mythical Pokémon entries. Once players have finished the Pokédex, head to the Temple of Sinnoh to find Arceus waiting for you. After you've discovered Arceus, you'll have to beat the Legendary Pokémon in a boss battle reminiscent of those with the Noble Pokémon.
