Research task (Legends: Arceus)

Research tasks (Japanese: 図鑑タスク encyclopedia task ) are goals set by Professor Laventon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus . Each Pokémon has a different array of tasks specific to them. This is an exclusive feature for the Hisui Pokédex .

Each research task goal met grants research levels and research points. The player must make a survey report to Professor Laventon at a base camp in order to receive credit for their progress. If the player has unreported progress, they will not be able to return to Jubilife Village .

Note: The research points counter is capped at 99,999, even though there are a total of 125,200 points available. Upon reaching this cap, the counter in the Pokédex Progress Report screen will no longer be dynamically incremented, but a breakdown of the points that would be added, along with the audio for the latter, remains.

Research level

Each Pokémon has an associated research level. Until a Pokémon has been caught, its research level is 0. Meeting a research task goal increases that Pokémon's research level. (Goals can accumulate before a Pokémon is caught and will become valid after it is caught.) Most goals increase the Pokémon's research level by 1, but any goals marked by two upward-pointing arrows increase the research level by 2. Arceus is a special case, having only one research task goal that grants all 10 research levels at once.

The maximum research level for Pokémon is 10. When this is reached, the research level will be preceded by "Complete!" If all goals are completed, this becomes "Perfect!" Reaching complete or perfect research will increase the chances of finding that Pokémon as a Shiny Pokémon .

When Arceus and all non- Mythical species have reached research level 10, Cyllene will give the player the Shiny Charm .

A Pokémon's Pokédex page is also slowly filled out as its research level increases.

Research points

Research points are required to increase the player's rank in the Galaxy Expedition Team . Most tasks grant 10 points per goal, but tasks marked by two upward-pointing arrows give 20 points. Arceus is a special case, having only one research task that grants 100 research points at once.

Reaching complete research (research level 10) for any Pokémon will grant a bonus 100 research points.

List of research tasks

Any task with a point value of more than 10 is marked with two upward-pointing arrows in the Pokédex. The number of research levels that a task grants is effectively equal to points / 10 .

The task "Number of different forms you've obtained" applies to both regional forms and gender differences , but does not count other different forms separately (such as Cherrim or Shaymin 's forms), nor Shiny or alpha Pokémon separately.

The task "Number you've evolved" applies both to evolving from and to that species. For example, evolving a Rowlet into a Dartrix and then into a Decidueye will count twice towards Dartrix's evolution task.

The task "Times you’ve seen it use [move]" requires seeing the move used in battle, whether from a wild Pokémon or a Trainer 's Pokémon, including the player's. Moves that miss do not count.

Eighteen different species have research tasks that are tied to completing a request involving that Pokémon. Before the request is completed, the task count will read "Method unknown". After completing the request, the count will be replaced with a checked off "1".

Getting to work on research tasks.

Getting to Work on Research Tasks is the fourth Main Mission in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The Getting to Work on Research Tasks walkthrough includes tips for story summaries, and more to help you on your journey in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Getting to Work on Research Tasks Locations

The mission Getting to Work on Research Tasks will have you travel through the following area. Click on them to learn more about them, like the Pokemon that spawn there:

  • Obsidian Fieldlands

Leave Jubilife Village

The start of this mission will see you heading out to the Fieldlands Camp with Professor Laventon . As you go to leave Jubilife Village , you’ll be spoken to by Beauregard who will have a request.

GettingtoWorkonResearchTasks1.jpg

Whenever someone has a task for you, they’ll have a request icon (a small marker) above them. Completing these requests will see you receive rewards.

As these requests are optional, here you can either head to the Obsidian Fieldlands to speak to Professor Laventon about research tasks, or speak to Beauregard to unlock your first request Wurmple Can Evolve .

Go to the Fieldlands Camp

Head out to Obsidian Fieldlands and speak to Professor Laventon . He’ll explain that a number of research tasks need to be carried out to complete the Pokedex .

Each Pokemon will have a number and variety of tasks for you to complete. When you open the Pokedex , press the Down Button to see which Pokemon have been registered and what research tasks are available.

If you’re in the field, you can check these tasks instantly by pressing the ZL Button to focus on a Pokemon, then the Down Button to open the Pokedex to the specific page.

Follow Akari/Rei

Akari or Rei will begin by showing you how to Dodge attacks. Press Y to do this. Follow Akari or Rei and they'll cover the basics of completing research tasks.

Here you’ll be able to try out focusing and opening the Pokedex page to the tasks for the Bidoof in front of you.

GettingtoWorkonResearchTasks2.jpg

When you’re ready, catch up with Akari or Rei and open the Pokedex for the research tasks on a Starly . Here you’ll have a chance to catch up on some of the research tasks already available. Remember to crouch when approaching a Starly by pressing the B Button.

When you’re ready, catch up with Akari or Rei again to spot your first Buizel . This is another Pokemon you’ll have to fight before you can catch it.

Taking Damage in a Fight

If you take too much damage when you fight, you’ll blackout. When the screen turns red, you’re in danger!

Here you’ll learn that to complete some research tasks, you’ll need to see a Pokemon perform certain moves in battle. Approach the Buizel and throw out your Pokemon partner to begin your fight.

GettingtoWorkonResearchTasks4.jpg

When you’re finished, catch up with Akari or Rei again. They'll reward you with a Crafting Kit for completing the challenges so far. This will allow you to make items even if there’s no workbench around, using the materials in your satchel. They’ll also give you the recipe for crafting Potions .

Checking Your Pokedex

You’ll be able to check the cover of your Pokedex to see when you have tasks that can be reported. Head back to Professor Laventon to submit your survey reports. This will reward you with money. Completing this research also raises the research levels of each Pokemon.

GettingtoWorkonResearchTasks6.jpg

Research Levels

When you get a research level to level 10 for a Pokemon, you’ll have completed all available tasks and acquired all the information you can on this Pokemon species. Completing these tasks also gives you Pokemon research points which helps you rank up in the Galaxy Expedition Team.

You should work your way through the specific Starly and Bidoof tasks if you haven’t already done so, and report your findings to Professor Laventon to move up the ranks. When this is complete, you’ll head back to Jubilife Village .

Report back to Captain Cyllene to let her know you’ve ranked up. You’ll obtain the rank of First Star , which will also allow you to use Heavy Balls (and obtain the recipe), and for Pokemon up to Level 20 to obey you in battle. You’ll also receive the recipe for crafting Revives .

This will conclude the fourth mission and unlock the fifth, A Request from Mai

Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Complete Guide To Research Tasks

Completing the Pokedex in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is so much more involved than before.

Quick Links

What are research tasks, the nuances of completing research tasks, submitting reports and raising your star rank, research levels and requests.

Professor Oak wanted young trainers to catch 150 Pokemon and call it a day. Professor Rowan, a real charmer, didn't mind if you simply looked at them. And Professor Juniper, well, she pretty much did what the rest of them did, but at least she was funny.

Everything's gone and changed in Pokemon Legends: Arceus . No one's going to be satisfied with a simple catch, let alone a cozy glance from afar. Research Tasks form one of this game's core gameplay pillars, and without a solid understanding of just much more complex Hisui's Pokedex is, new players will soon find themselves as overwhelmed as the Survey Corps prior to a certain fortuitous fall from the sky.

Legends Arceus Pokemon Pokedex Shinx

Continuing the forced references to past games, think about all the data that suddenly pops into your previous Pokedexes. You catch one Abra, and all of a sudden, its information page is a veritable wellspring of information. There's a trivia bit and plenty more.

This makes sense. After all, most of the time you're not actually the first person to encounter a particular species of Pokemon. Your Pokedex already has some behind-the-scenes scoops on Phantump's disturbing nocturnal activities — it simply won't show up until you've caught one.

In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, you are a true pioneer . Sure, the player character isn't necessarily the very first person to lay eyes on Hisui's fauna, but they aren't far off from it. People are generally afraid of Pokemon here, so your Pokedex is a legitimately blank slate this time around.

That's where Research Tasks come in. First contact with a species of Pokemon adds a page to the book — a real book, mind you, not some gadget — and that page will task you with several assignments related to each and every Pokemon there is.

Research-Tasks-Pokemon-Shinx-List-1

Raising the Research Level for every Pokemon's page is a matter of completing the page's Research Tasks. It's straightforward in theory; but in practice, it can be a challenge.

Take Shinx's Research Tasks page, for example. Catching and battling a specified number of them is time-consuming, but a broad enough request that you won't need to pay a ton of attention while you're doing it. But what about the need to see one use Bite up to 25 times? Waiting for wild Shinx (Shinxes? Shinxi?) to use that attack can be an exercise in frustration, given that enemy Pokemon tend to hit a fair bit harder in this game than past entries.

On the other hand, if you'll be catching and evolving some lovely little lions anyway, and given that they learn Bite at an early level, why not spam it against weak prey until you're finished? The game rewards outside-the-box thinking like this. In this case, it didn't matter that the Shinx performing the attack is yours. The people of Hisui are just that fresh to seeing pretty much anything of the sort.

This hardly scratches the surface of some of Pokemon Legends: Arceus' most obscure Research Tasks. For another early-game example, one of Geodude's Research Tasks involves watching them leap out of ore deposits a set amount of times. The key here is to keep an eye out for rustling ore deposits. No, it's not the game's uneven graphics playing a trick on you. That's a Geodude doing exactly what you need it to do.

Related: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Every Unown Location

Captain Pokemon Legends Arceus Research Task Report

Your primitive Pokedex won't magically reward you for completing Research Tasks. Instead, you must speak with Professor Laventon at the conclusion of survey expeditions . (A survey expedition is a fancy term for every time you venture out into one of Hisui's regions and have some fun for a bit.)

Laventon calculates your achievements if you take a sec to chat him up at camp. These achievements earn you Research Points , which must reach predetermined totals before Laventon shares the good news that you're due for a promotion.

Go let Captain Cyllene know the good news and your Star Rank will rise accordingly. Among other things, your Star Rank dictates how many of Hisui's five main regions you can survey, so it will feel like a "level gate" if you're not proactive throughout your journey.

Pokemon Legends Marli

Every Pokedex page features what is called a Research Level at its bottom-right corner. This ranges from 1 to 10, and the level rises as you fulfill more Research Tasks. There's an interesting — and appreciated — wrinkle in all this. You do not need to complete every Research Task to elevate a page's Research Level to 10 .

This is big news because 10 counts as completing the page. Many of the game's sidequests involve climbing to Research Level 10 . Take Marli, for example. She wants to see an adorable Starly. Who wouldn't? Marli also wants to know a bunch of things about Starly. You can finish Marli's sidequest (known as Requests in Legends: Arceus) by getting Starly's Pokedex page to 10.

Having said this, there are reasons to strive for truly completing each page, as in surpassing the conditions for Research Level 10 and doing absolutely every Research Task. The likelihood of encountering the Shiny version of a Pokemon increases when that Pokemon's page is entirely maxed out. A huge boon for all those Shiny hunters of the world, and still pretty cool even to folks whose goals are not so lofty as to pluck every alternate color scheme pal from the planet.

  • Getting to Work on Research Tasks

Professor Laventon asks for you to help him with research tasks in Obsidian Fieldlands.

Go to Fieldlands Camp

Follow rei or akari, report to professor laventon, report to cyllene.

Go to the east exit of Jubilife Village and choose the Fieldlands Camp as your destination. There will be a cutscene where you learn about checking a wild pokémon's research tasks, and how to dodge. You can check the Survey Tips in the Settings section of your satchel to review this information.

Go to the guidance marker (you can open the map and press Y to change which mission or request has guidance enabled) to find Rei or Akari. They will tell you to use ZL to focus on a wild pokémon, then press down to open the pokédex to that pokémon's entry, so you can review the research tasks. This also adds that pokémon to the Pokédex, so you can have some of its information even if you don't catch it. Be sure to do this with every pokémon you encounter outside of battle.

As you go through the area, keep an eye out for plants that you can gather, and trees that you can throw your partner pokémon at to gather things like Apricorns and Oran Berries.

There are three Bidoofs in the area. You can catch them or defeat them to complete some of your research tasks.

When you are ready to move on, go to the guidance marker to find Rei or Akari. There will be another cutscene, where they remind you to check your research tasks and try to catch a Starly without being seen. After you are done catching Starly, go to the guidance marker and there will be another cutscene.

Next, you are asked to catch a Buizel. You will need to battle it first, so be sure to throw a partner pokémon instead of a Poké Ball.

When you are ready, go to the guidance marker for another cutscene with Rei or Akari. You will get a Crafting Kit. You can use it to craft things wherever you are, but you will only be able to use the materials in your satchel. You will also get the recipe for crafting Potions. To use the Crafting Kit, look in the Key Items section of your Satchel (press R to switch between Everyday Items and Key Items).

Feel free to explore the area and catch or battle more pokémon. When you are ready, go to the guidance marker to return to Professor Laventon and report the research tasks that you have completed.

You will receive money whenever you submit survey reports, with a bonus for completing certain research tasks.

You can also rank up in the Galaxy Expedition Team after accumulating a certain number of Pokémon research points.

If you haven't gotten enough points to rank up yet, the Professor will recommend which pokémon's research tasks you should focus on. You'll need to rank up to complete this mission.

Once you have enough points to rank up, talk to Professor Laventon and you will automatically return to the village. Go into the Galaxy Team building and talk to Cyllene, then exit the Pokédex to continue. You will get the rank of First Star. This unlocks the use of the Heavy Ball, and pokémon up to level 20 will obey you in battle. You will also earn more money for research reports. Cyllene will give you recipes for the Heavy Ball, and Revives.

After a cutscene, Rei or Akari will ask you to battle them at the Training Grounds. This begins the mission A Request from Mai .

Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Hardest Research Tasks & How to Complete Them

Finishing the Pokedex in Pokemon Legends: Arceus involves doing Research Tasks, so here’s some advice on completing the more challenging ones.

Quick Links

Cherrim's research tasks, strong style moves with spiritomb, catching pokemon with multiple forms (rotom), catching all 28 unown, feed snorlax 50 times, see magikarp use splash 100 times, space-time distortion pokemon, completing a pokemon's entry vs. completing all research tasks.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus does away with the old Pokedex formula by requiring trainers to complete a list of tasks just to unlock a Pokemon's Pokedex entry. When players catch a wild Pokemon, it does not automatically fill out their entry like in previous Pokemon games such as Sword & Shield . By going into Pokemon Legends: Arceus ' Pokedex, players can view Research Tasks for each species by tapping the A button.

A Pokemon's entry will unlock once its Research Level reaches 10. There are usually various Tasks per Pokemon, such as "Number caught" and "Times you've seen it use [move]," and these all add "experience" to a trainer's Research Level.

Common Pokemon such as Bidoof have simple Tasks that can be completed in one sitting, while a Pokemon like Spiritomb will take longer due to their limited in-game availability. It's not required to max out every Research Task, but if players are going for 100% completion, they'll have some work to do. The following are just a few Research Tasks that may give players some trouble.

RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - The 5 Best Grass-Type Pokemon (& Where to Find Them)

pokemon-legends-arceus-update-catch-cherrim

Players will first hear of Cherrim in Pokemon Legends: Arceus when they go to accept the request "To Bloom or Not to Bloom" at the Fields in Jubilife Village. I

t's quickly revealed that Cherrim is one of the toughest Pokemon to find - at least in the beginning. According to Cherrim's Pokedex, it can be found in shaking trees within The Heartwood during morning and daytime, but players also have a chance of getting its pre-evolved form, Cherubi, instead.

Cherrim has the following Research Tasks:

  • Number caught (15 total)
  • Number caught during daylight hours (10 total)
  • Number defeated (5 total)
  • Times you've seen it use Petal Dance (40 total)
  • Times you've seen it us an agile style move (15 total)
  • Number you've seen leap out of tress (15 total)

To complete the Cherrim Request , players only need to get Cherrim's Research level to 10 and unlock its entry. Getting a Perfect entry is the hard part.

Cherrim's appearance rate isn't too high in Obsidian Fieldlands, but it will start appearing more in Coronet Highlands (Fabled Spring) and Crimson Mirelands (southwest of Gapejaw Bog; the tree by the lake).

Look for shaking trees during the day and keep trying until Research Task 2 and Task 6 are completed. This way, it'll be easier to knock out three of its hardest Research Tasks at once.

If Cherrim isn't appearing, return to Jubilife Village and respawn in whichever region has Cherrim.

pokemon-legends-arceus-spiritomb-1

Spiritomb is tricky because it's locked behind the Request "Eerie Apparitions in the Night." This involves finding all 107 wisps scattered around Hisui before Spiritomb starts "spawning" in the Crimson Mirelands near the Shrouded Ruins at night.

Once Spiritomb has been caught, his Research Tasks are quite easy to fill out since they're based around seeing it use specific Moves 40 times.

The most tedious Spiritomb Research Task is "See it use strong style move," with the highest objective at 70. Using a strong or agile style move will cost 2PP instead of 1PP.

The best way to complete this Research Task is to have Spiritomb battle lower-leveled Pokemon and defeat them with strong style moves.

Keep plenty of Max Ethers and Max Elixirs on hand to restore Spiritomb's moves without having to rush back to a camp.

This strategy also applies to Pokemon with similar Research Tasks. For example, one of Lucario's Research Tasks requires seeing it use Aura Sphere 70 times in battle.

pokemon legends arceus rotom forms

Since the fourth generation of Pokemon, some species have been given physical differences depending on their gender. Any Pokemon that looks different as a male or female will have a Research Task called "Number of different forms you've obtained."

Pokemon with a 50/50 gender ratio like Pikachu means this Research Task can be completed very quickly. Others with uneven gender ratios (such as Eevee) may take some time due to their rarity.

In addition, there are Pokemon with different forms such as Rotom and the Forces of Nature (Landorus, Thundurus, Tornadus, and Enamorus). Rotom's in particular is not only time-consuming but can be expensive.

Rotom has six objectives for its "different forms" Research Task. Unfortunately, the only way to get the appliances that change Rotom's form is by buying them from the Ginter of the Ginkgo Guild.

Rotom's appliances are randomized daily and get more expensive with each purchase. The final appliance will cost as much as 100,000. The best way to get Rotom's forms is by saving up on money and crafting items instead of buying them at Jubilife Village's item shop.

Additionally, space-time distortions can drop Star Shards and Comet Shards, which can be sold for a lot of money at a general store.

RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - How to Catch the Flying Gyarados

An A-shaped Unown in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Players will quickly notice that Unown does not have more than one Research Task. By catching all 28 forms of Unown, its Pokedex entry will be unlocked, and it will be marked with Perfect.

There are other bonuses with finding all Unown such as being able to catch them at Solaceon Ruins and potentially shiny hunt them.

Catching Unown is easy since their catch rate has been changed to 100% for Legends: Arceus . Finding them is the difficult part. The hints in the Unown Research Notes are all written in Unown alphabet, and some hints aren't very specific. Unfortunately, players are going to have to search every corner of Hisui if they want this Pokemon's entry completed.

Alpha Snorlax.

This Research Task would be almost silly if it weren't for such a high objective marker. There's an Alpha Snorlax in the Obisidian Fieldlands that can be distracted with all types of food. However, given the abundance of Oran Berry trees in the Fieldlands, the best strategy is to throw Oran Berries until Snorlax has eaten 50 of them just to complete this Research Task.

Remember when feeding wild Pokemon to wait for it to finish eating before tossing another Berry/Food item. Bait will perish if it remains untouched for too long. Although players can find regular-sized Snorlax in space-time distortions , it's better to just feed the Alpha Snorlax since it's very easy to be ganged up on by other Pokemon in space-time distortions.

Pokemon Snap Magikarp

Magikarp is well-known for being a useless Pokemon that evolves into the much stronger Gyarados at level 20. As ridiculous as Snorlax's Research Task may be, Magikarp takes it up a notch by needing to be seen using the move Splash 100 times.

Fortunately, Magikarp doesn't have any damage dealing moves, so the chance of it using another move is impossible until it runs out of PP. However, watching Magikarp flop around uselessly is a boring Research Task despite its simplicity.

The best strategy is to swim out to the Magikarp in the river between Grueling Grove and Horseshoe Plains in the Obsidian Fieldlands. There should be several Magikarp to battle. After throwing a Pokemon at it, use a move that deals no damage (such as Swords Dance) to stall until Magikarp burns through its Splash move. Then, defeat it and move on to the next Magikarp.

Alternatively, players can always catch a Magikarp themselves and have it battle another Magikarp. Neither side will be dealing any damage, but at least the Splash objective will go up a little quicker.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus Space-Time Distortions

Some Pokemon that aren't native to Hisui will appear in space-time distortions. To trigger a space-time distortion, players just need to be in one region for more than five minutes. When a distortion appears, there will be a notification at the top of the screen and a space-time distortion icon on the map.

Pokemon such as Porygon and Cranidos will only appear in distortions , and unfortunately, their Research Tasks require catching more than one. These Pokemon have Research Tasks that require trainers to catch 3 and 5 large specimens, respectively. There's no strategy to make larger-sized Pokemon appear, so it's a matter of trial and error when dealing with space-time distortion exclusive Pokemon.

RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - The 5 Best Water-Type Pokemon (& Where to Find Them)

pokemon legends arceus eevee

When a player has completed enough Research Tasks, their Research Level will continue to climb. At 10, they'll be able to view their entry. Completing all Pokemon's entries in the Pokedex is the only way to get the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Legends: Arceus .

However, if players go out of their way to get a Perfect Entry, then the chances of encountering a Shiny Pokemon of that particular Pokemon increase.

Combine this with the Shiny Charm, and it could make shiny hunting very easy. Shiny Pokemon tend to crop up more in mass outbreaks , so if there's a Pokemon that players really want, it's recommended to complete all of its Research Tasks first.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available now on Nintendo Switch.

Pikachu Obsidian Fieldlands.png

Pikachu can appear at the northeastern area of Nature's Pantry in Obsidian Fieldlands, near the cliff overlooking the river.

If Pikachu doesn't appear, you can explore the area for a bit and come back or head back to Jubilife Village and return to Obsidian Fieldlands until it spawns.

Recommended Nature for Pikachu

Natures that increase special attack.

Most of Pikachu's Electric-type moves are special attacks, so it is recommended to use a Pikachu with a Nature that boosts its Special Attack stat.

You can also use Natures that increase Speed

As an alternative, you can also use a Pikachu with a Nature that boosts its Speed stat, which helps it attack more frequently in the turn order. Do take note that since its Special Attack stat does not receive boosts, its attacks will be weaker.

How to Complete Pikachu's Research Tasks Fast

Without being spotted, catch four. If you haven't caught both a male and a female in those three, defeat one.

As you progress through the story, the number of Research Points you still need for each Pokemon will undoubtedly change, but following the process above and skipping unneeded steps will work for achieving the goal.

Share All sharing options for: Pokémon Go ‘Road to Sinnoh’ event, Timed Research guide

A person walks up a hill with several Pokémon, including Dialga and Palkia, around them

Ahead of its big Sinnoh event, Pokémon Go is hosting a “ Road to Sinnoh ” event, full of all sorts of perks and research to complete from Feb. 19-23 .

This event comes with two paid pass options, each for $4.99: “ Road to Sinnoh: Hatch ” and “ Road to Sinnoh: Raids .” Buying the raid pass unlocks a specific set of Timed Research that rewards XL Candy for Giratina, Cresselia, Heatran, and Darkrai, as well as increased candy and XP from raids. The hatching pass also unlocks a Timed Research set that rewards the regional Pokémon Chatot, Pachirisu, and Carnivine, as well as doubles the XP, candy, and Stardust you get from hatching eggs.

As usual, keep in mind that these are Timed Research and you only have until when the event ends on Feb. 23 to complete them. If you do plan on grinding out eggs and raids, the hatching pass may be worth if you still need those regional Pokémon .

Even if you don’t buy a pass, you’ll still have access to a Timed Research set that rewards the above listed legendary Pokémon and Darkrai from doing raids. All players will also be able to take advantage of halved Incubator walk distance and an increase in the daily Remote Raid Pass limit (up to 10) during the event.

There’s also a Special Research set that also goes by “Road to Sinnoh,” though this started appearing for players days before the event started.

Below, we list out all the perks associated with the “Road to Sinnoh” Pokémon Go event.

Everything announced at February’s Pokémon Presents stream

Giovanni Colantonio

As has become a tradition in recent years, The Pokémon Company held a special live stream today in honor of Pokémon Day. Dubbed Pokémon Presents , the show gave us updates on the monster catching franchise, including some brand new game announcements. Though this year, it was a critical stream for the brand. It followed fan frustrations with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the public’s warm reception of Palworld , a competitor that has become a smash hit this year. The Pokémon Company needed to knock this one out of the park.

  • Pokémon Legends Z-A gets a teaser
  • Pokémon trading card game is getting a new mobile app

A whole lot of mobile updates

So did it? Not exactly. The very quick stream was short on new announcements, largely focusing on updates to mobile games. Its only bombshell news came in a cryptic teaser for a new Pokémon Legends title that isn’t set to launch until 2025. Perhaps that’s when we’ll see the brand have the big moment it needs. In case you missed the brief show, here’s every announcement from today’s Pokémon Presents stream .

It took nearly a decade, but Pokémon X and Y are finally getting a Z … though not in the way you probably expected. The stream ended with a brief teaser for Pokémon Legends Z-A , which appears to be the follow-up to Pokémon Legends: Arceus . The trailer didn’t really shed light on what that is though, as we only saw some stylish teaser footage of Lumiose City, which is apparently undergoing an urban redevelopment plan. It was a cryptic teaser that only offered one important piece of news: It’ll launch in 2025.

Pokémon trading card game is getting a new mobile app

スマートフォン向けアプリ『Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket』が2024年内にリリース決定! コンセプト映像が初公開! 世界中で楽しまれている「ポケモンカード」が手軽にコレクションできるアプリだよ。 続報をお楽しみに! https://t.co/cZ6Lwigbwc #ポケポケ pic.twitter.com/jB2GLh8ef2 — ポケモン公式 (@Pokemon_cojp) February 27, 2024

The Pokémon trading card game is getting a new mobile app dubbed Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket . The app is made in collaboration with Creatures. A trailer for the new initiative showed players opening digital card packs through a new app. Cards are getting an immersive experience where players can dive inside the art. Naturally, fans can also play the card game through the app, though we didn’t see exactly how that works yet. The app will launch in 2024.

As is usually the case, most of the stream focused on updates to preexisting mobile games. Pokémon Go  is holding a crossover event with the new Pokémon Horizons series, Raikou is coming to Pokémon Sleep , and Pokémon Masters Ex is getting a photo mode. Pokémon Café Remix  fans can now enjoy a Paldea-themed Pokémon Day event too. The biggest news of the batch is that Pokémon Unite  is getting new playable heroes in Fallinks and Ceruledge.

Nintendo Switch Online just added two retro classics, as Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokémon Trading Card Game are now available on the service. Both games have been updated to feature online multiplayer.

Both announcements come from today's Pokémon Presents stream, which primarily focused on updates to mobile games and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Nintendo Switch Online got a small block during the presentation, when it was revealed that the two games were dropping on Switch shortly after the stream.

Pokémon Sleep is now available in the United States for both iOS and Android devices. While the sleep tracking app is free to download, it has some surprising monetization built into it thanks to a paid monthly plan and microtransactions.

First revealed in 2019, Pokémon Sleep is a cross between a sleep-tracking app and an idle game. When users leave their phone on their bed at night, it'll record their sleep quality and habits by sensing vibrations and using their phone's microphone. When they wake up, they'll help a professor "research" Pokémon that have gathered around a sleeping Snorlax overnight. It's a cute way to gamify a sleep-tracking app, adding a "catch 'em all" element to the mix.

It's already a major task to catch all the Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, or any of the games for that matter, but GameFreak introduced another factor completionists will need to account for starting in Generation 2, that being shiny Pokémon. These are very rare forms of Pokémon that feature alternate colors of their regular, non-shiny forms. They never have any numerical or mechanical differences from their regular versions and are only differentiated based on their color and rarity.

Shiny hunting has been around since shiny Pokémon were introduced, but the methods and odds of encountering them always change from game to game. They are still present in Scarlet and Violet, but the open-world format has made hunting them slightly different. If you want to know how to get the best odds of finding these rare Pokémon, here's everything you need to know about shiny hunting. Shiny hunting basics

How to get Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit in Photo Safari in Pokémon Go

How to complete all three Lake Guardian timed research tasks for Go Tour Sinnoh.

The Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit Photo Safari are all individual timed research quests that are available to everyone during Pokémon Go Tour Sinnoh .

This quest tasks you with exploring the world around you during Pokémon Go Tour Sinnoh to find one, if not all three, of the Lake Guardian Pokémon. It doesn't matter if you've previously chosen Dialga or Palkia - you can do all three quests.

Get ready to go exploring, we're here to show you how to get Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit in Pokémon Go and explain the Photo Safari too .

On this page:

Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit Photo Safari in Pokémon Go explained

How to get azelf, uxie and mesprit during in pokémon go tour sinnoh, azelf, uxie and mesprit photo safari rewards in pokémon go.

During Pokémon Go Tour Sinnoh the Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit Photo Safari are three different timed research quests. They're all available until 6pm on Sunday, 25th February . The tasks are free for all Pokémon trainers.

To successfully complete any of the three quests you need to take an in-game snapshot of the corresponding Pokémon. For example, if you want to complete the Azelf quest then you'll need to take a snapshot of Azelf.

All three Pokémon will appear in the wild throughout the event, so you will need to do some exploring to find them. However, you can always use Incense to attract more Pokémon to your area and you may even attract a Lake Guardian Pokémon for Photo Safari too.

We strongly recommend that you take the snapshot of your chosen Pokémon before you attempt to catch them. That way, even if they flee, you've completed the task at hand and obtained your photograph.

pokemon go tour sinnoh azelf and uxie photo safari quests

You can find the Photo Safari tasks under the 'Events' tab in your menu.

Once your chosen quest is complete you will be rewarded with an enounter with the corresponding Pokémon where they will not flee, so get the snapshot first and then you'll be guaranteed to catch it in an encounter afterwards.

You can capture any Azelf, Uxie or Mesprit you encounter in the wild but they can be a tricky fight so we urge you to use Ultra Balls and Golden Razz Berry to increase your chances of success.

There are multiple ways you can capture these Legendary Pokémon during Pokémon Go Tour Sinnoh .

The first, and easiest way of doing this is to complete their Photo Safari tasks as your reward is an encounter with the aligning Pokémon where they cannot escape, giving you as many attempts as you need to capture it (as long as you don't run out of Poké Balls).

We recommend using Great or Ultra Balls if you have them as they increase your chances of capturing them in minimal attempts.

pokemon go azelf and uxie on pgo map background

Another way of capturing them is through encountering them in the wild, though this method makes them much harder to catch as they can always flee after a few failed attempts at being contained in a Poké Ball. If you do choose this method, we strongly recommend that you use Ultra Balls , Razz Berry and Golden Razz Berry to boost your chances of success.

Here are all of the rewards for completing the Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit Photo Safari quests during Pokémon Go Tour Sinnoh.

Azelf Photo Safari

  • 482 Stardust
  • Azelf Encounter

Uxie Photo Safari

  • 481 Stardust
  • Uxie Encounter

Mesprit Photo Safari

  • 480 Stardust
  • Mesprit Encounter

Pokémon Legends: Arceus For Beginners

Posted: 26 February 2024 | Last updated: 26 February 2024

Pokemon Legends: Arceus has the potential to be the Pokemon game of my childhood dreams, and it comes so close to being just that. By shifting the Pokemon formula to focus on enhanced open-world exploration, and the quest to catch 'em all, Pokemon Legends: Arceus has truly revolutionized the series for a more modern audience. But that's not to say that it's perfect, as there are a couple of elements that hold this experimental Pokemon game back from being the very best the series has ever been. What it is able to accomplish is impressive, particularly for a 25-year-old series that's always been a little rigid with its formula. Release date: January 28, 2022 Platform: Nintendo Switch Developer: Game Freak Publisher: Nintendo Game Freak has cleverly accomplished this long-overdue evolution by essentially starting from scratch, teleporting us back to a point in time long before anything we've seen in the series to date. You're exploring the Hisui region, an early version of Sinnoh where there's just one major settlement. That's Jubilife Village, which acts as the central hub from which you'll head out on expeditions to explore the land, help the residents, and discover new Pokemon. It works well as a base of operations, and as a space that will gently grow and change over time with shops and other facilities. It's also filled with people who are desperate to share in your adventure and learn more about the Pokemon roaming the wilds of Hisui around them. You are tasked with completing the locale's first Pokedex as part of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corp, which essentially boils down to three different formats – discovering a Pokemon, catching a Pokemon, and completing a Pokemon's Pokedex entry by completing research tasks to move up the knowledge ranks until you max out at 10. This can be accomplished by observing a Pokemon using a certain move, catching or defeating a specific number, or allowing it to evolve. I'm admittedly disappointed to find there aren't more Pokemon Snap-inspired observational research tasks, where watching a Pokemon's behavior becomes as important as catching or battling it, as the tasks you're given in Pokemon Legends: Arceus can feel a little repetitive – particularly if you truly want to complete your 'dex.
