In this Arceus Pokémon Legends guide, we point out some objects that you should use in your adventure.

Pokémon Legends Arceus: the best objects that you may not know how to use

effort objects

Pokémon Legends Arceus has modified the stat points of your Pokémon, the so-called EV (Effort Values) and IV (Individual Values).

Pokémon now have base stat values ​​(HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed), but you’ll also see a value from 1 to 10 in a circle with a yellow border that will fill in at 10.

The higher that number is, the more you will empower your Pokémon to improve that characteristic (Attack, Def, etc), so you are interested in raising this effort value so that your Pokémon improves. That’s what effort objects are for, and there are four types:

• Dust of Effort: Increases the level of effort if it is in values ​​less than 3
• Effort Gravel: Increases the level of effort if it is in values ​​between 3-5
• Stone of effort: Increases the level of effort if it is in values ​​between 6-8
• Rock of Effort: Increases the effort value if it is at 9 (10 is the maximum).

These items are obtained as a reward for completing Assignments, and also by defeating Alpha Pokémon (those with red eyes).

mud ball

If a wild Pokémon takes one look at you and starts attacking you, or you just wanted to throw a Pokéball at it but it discovered you, you won’t be able to capture it without fighting…

But you have another option: if you throw a ball of mud at it, which you equip like a Pokéball, it will leave the Pokémon stunned and you can run away, hide or take the opportunity to throw a Pokéball at it since it will not reject it now.

Smoke ball

If you want to catch a Pokémon but it’s in a clearing with no grass or rocks and you don’t have a place to hide to sneak up on it, don’t give up on the Pokémon or give up the fight. You can throw them a Smoke Ball, that is, a smoke bomb, which will allow you to get close to them without being seen.

You can craft them with Fumibulbo and Curly Fern. Remember that there are also Stealth Sprays so that the Pokémon does not hear you arrive.

Noisy ball

Now that the fights are not random, the Repellent would not make sense. However, there is a new item called Noisy Ball, which when thrown will cause weaker Pokémon to move away from you, which is useful when passing through areas with small Pokémon that you have already completed their Pokédex entry on and have no interest in. to capture or fight them

You can craft them with Noisy Marimo and Curly Fern.
