Which growlithe is the lords child

New challenges have changed dated gameplay in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, with Gym Leader battles now replaced by Noble Pokémon missions. Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes place in a time before established towns, in the historic Hisui region. Because the Pokémon Trainer journey is only just starting to form during this time, the inclusion of past Pokémon mechanics like Gyms, the Elite Four, and a Pokémon Champion aren't possible. However, players will encounter Noble Pokémon in each location of Hisui, and each battle will require a combination of strategy and skill to accomplish.

When first starting the journey through Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players will be introduced to two clans. The Diamond Clan, led by Adaman, and the Pearl Clan led by Irida. Players will quickly learn that alongside their arrival in the past, special Pokémon called Nobles were struck with a strange type of lightning, sending them into a golden, glowing frenzy. The main character agrees to team up with Irida and Adaman to calm the frenzied Nobles, who have been causing destruction to both their Wardens and the areas around where they usually live.

The process of calming frenzied Noble Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is different than any previous puzzles or battles presented in the Pokémon main game series. Players must first meet with the Warden of the Noble, which requires a series of quests to be completed. After gaining access to the Noble, the player will then use Balms made by the Warden to decrease a "frenzy" bar. Throwing the Balms requires good aim, and players will have to dodge attacks dealt by the frenzied Noble to avoid being knocked unconscious. To increase the effectiveness of Balms for a short period of time, there will be opportunities for players to toss out a Pokémon and engage the Noble in battle. If they defeat the Noble, they can then toss the Balms at close range for a limited time with more potent results.

Legends: Arceus' Noble Kleavor: Lord Of The Woods

The first Noble Pokémon players will need to calm is Kleavor, Lord of the Woods. Cared for by the Pearl Clan Warden Lian, Kleavor is a Bug/Rock-type Pokémon, and the Hiusian evolution of the Kantonian Bug-type Scyther. Kleavor's battle takes place in the Obsidian Fieldlands, with the battlefield under a large tree. Players will be able to use the tree as an obstacle for Kleavor, hiding behind it so the Lord crashes into it when charging. This will create an opening for players to engage in battle. Kleavor is weak to Flying-type moves, so players will want to make sure they have a Staravia on their team before heading into battle.

Legends: Arceus' Noble Pokémon Lilligant: Lady Of The Ridge

The second Noble Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is Lilligant, Lady of the Ridge. Lilligant can be found in the Crimson Mirelands and is tended to by the Diamond Clan Warden Arezu. The Lilligant seen in this game is a Hisuian variant, differing from its original appearance in Black and White's Unova region. Hisuian Lilligant is a Grass/Fighting-type and uses agile, ballet-inspired movements to dance around the player when challenged.

Players will have fewer opportunities to throw Balms at Lilligant compared to Kleavor, requiring battles to temporarily immobilize it. To help speed battles up, players can take advantage of its weaknesses to Flying, Ghost, and Fairy-types, with numerous early-game Pokémon available to catch and raise.

Legends: Arceus' Noble Pokémon Arcanine: Lord Of The Isles

The third Noble Pokémon players will challenge during Pokémon Legends: Arceus is Arcanine, Lord of the Isles. Arcanine, like Lilligant, is a Hisuian form and is cared for by Warden Palina of the Pearl Clan living in the Cobalt Coastlands. When players are first sent on their mission to assist in the area, it is explained that no Lord is currently present in the area. This is due to the recent Lord Pokémon having drowned in an attempt to rescue its offspring, the Lord heir Hisuian Growlithe.

Through the events of the mission, Growlithe steps up and evolves, taking its place as the Lord of the Cobalt Coastlands, but in doing so is struck by the strange lightning and sent into a Frenzy. Arcanine's battle is particularly difficult due to the limited space to dodge and run. The Fire/Rock-type deals devastating damage with powerful fire moves that must be avoided using the dodge-roll action. Players who picked Oshawott as their stater will have a good advantage in this fight, due to super-effective Water-type moves.

Legends: Arceus' Noble Pokémon Electrode: Lord Of The Hollow

The fourth Noble Pokémon players will battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is Electrode, Lord of the Hollow in the Coronet Highlands. Also sporting a Hisuian form, Electrode is an Electric/Grass-type and is cared for by the Diamond Clan Warden Melli. Unlike previous Wardens, who are willing to accept the player's help in quelling the frenzy of their Pokémon, Melli sees Electrode's state as a gift from "Almighty Sinnoh" and goes to great lengths to prevent the player from assisting.

However, with the help of the Diamond Clan leader Adaman, and Sneasler's Pearl Warden Ingo, players are able to access Electrode in its hollow. The battle is similar to Lilligant, with players dodging an onslaught of quick moves and electric orbs. Ground, Grass, and Electric-type moves will be the most useful when battling Electrode to subdue it, and players should have a good selection of options available by the time they reach this Noble Pokémon.

Legends: Arceus' Noble Pokémon Avalugg: Lord Of The Tundra

The final Noble Pokémon players will need to calm in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is Avalugg, Lord of the Tundra in the Alabaster Icelands. The Hisuian form of the Gen 6 Pokémon is larger than any other species players have come up against. Avalugg is cared for by the Pearl Clan Warden Gaeric, who requires the player to battle him to prove their strength before agreeing to assist in helping calm the Noble Pokémon. Unlike previous Noble encounters, players will also need to obtain Eternal Ice to make the Balms for the battle.

Once the mission for the crafting material is complete, players will then stand on a chunk of ice with Avalugg just out of reach and will have to dodge an onslaught of powerful ice moves before battling it repeatedly to create an opening to throw the Balms. Hisuian Avalugg is an Ice/Rock-type and is weak to Steel, Fighting, and Fire-type Pokémon. While the battles against the Noble Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus differ greatly from Gym Leader encounters and Elite Four battles, the change gives fans a fresh new challenge, switching up the repetitive and predictable gameplay progression of previous games in the series.
