Pokémon Legends Arceus: 10 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

3. Look Up Enemy Pokemon Types & Statuses Mid-Battle

Another pointer for combat as you’ll need all the help you can get taking down Alpha pokemon or finidng weaknesses for bosses in general. Once in a battle, hit the plus button and you’ll get a detailed readout of every lasting thing that’s gone down in the fight itself, to that point.

Pokemon types are displayed up top, but you’ll also note which effects like burn, poison etc are active, and if there are any “fixations” a pokemon has for a specific move, that can be used again for extra damage.

Effectiveness and planning are more key in Arceus than ever thanks to the increased difficulty of what you can find in the open world, so take on board as much info as possible.
