What are Alpha Pokémon?

When players encounter Pokémon in the wild in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, some Pokémon will react differently than others. Alpha Pokémon will be more aggressive than their non-Alpha versions. Alpha Pokémon can be found scattered around the Hisui region. Alpha Pokémon will be stronger than others and will in turn be more difficult to subdue and catch. Having an Alpha Pokémon on your team will be a sought-after accomplishment.
