Pokémon Legends: Arceus leaks show Time-Distortion mechanic in the overworld

Time and space bend in Arceus.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is one of the most anticipated releases on the Nintendo Switch in 2022. The anticipation has fueled the dedication of leakers who got their hands on several early copies. These few users have disclosed several new mechanics joining the latest mainline franchise entry, including Time-Distortion.

A post by u/Abyzab on the PokeLeaks subreddit shows an enticing new mechanic where space-time warps in a limited area of the overworld. These time-distortions spawn hordes of wild Pokémon of different species and types in this area. Not only does the area see new creatures appear out of thin air, but the map itself becomes engulfed in darkness.

Players in the subreddit speculate that these areas may be where Pokémon like Rotom and Porygon spawn. These Pokémon are more recent additions to the roster that exist alongside technology, something the Hisui region of an era long passed doesn't have.

While we don't have a definitive answer on what these distortions do just yet, we'll keep you updated as we learn more.
