HOW EASILY CAN YOU PERFECT YOUR POKEDEX IN POKEMON LEGENDS ARCEUS?

One of the largest new mechanics in Pokemon Legends Arceus is the introduction of Research Tasks. Each Pokemon has a set list of things to accomplish, and for each one you complete you earn experience points and increase your rank. Across the entire Pokedex there are thousands to complete, but what does it take to do them all? Today we're going to find out how easily you can perfect your entire Pokedex in Pokemon Legends Arceus. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

OMG can't believe at how the game acknowledges this amazing achievement! Glad I watched all the way to the end!

[StickMaster]

Even if there was no special reward for getting a Perfect Pokedex, at least you can now play as Luigi

[Coyoteari]

Tbh the way it counts “times evolved” makes a lot of sense - if starly -> staravia counts starly & staravia -> staraptor counts staraptor, staravia should count for both since it’s the reverse condition (evolving into/evolving from)

[Winasaurus]

Wow, how impressive of Nintendo to let you get a shiny Arceus holding the Bird plate to let it change to Bird type like Missingno in Pokemon Red. That's a very cool callback and very fun. I'm so happy Nintendo rewards their most avid players with such special and unique rewards. :)

The evolution stones can actually be found rarely in sparkly mineral outcrops. Not super common drops, but if you go for them whenever you can you'll end up with a decent stockpile without too much time needed

[CarthusDojo]

Only Johnstone can not upload for any amount of time and you KNOW he’s been working on a banger video the whole time.

Here's a tip: for Pokemon who have to use status condition moves that don't do damage, go fight Magikarp. They can't hurt you and you can spam the move until you run out of PP.

[OddityOfFates]

Nah but for real, I definitely appreciate your shiny reactions. They feel way more real for someone who's been mind-numbingly grinding such a painstaking and rewarding task.

[Patterrz]

now do it again but you can only catch and use shinies for dex completion

[AbsolBlogsPokemon]

It's INSANE to see how much can be done with this game. It was a total blast watching you take on this journey every day, and great job finishing it all off! Lots of wisdom in this video (like the Sinjoh Shiny Arceus reward)

I swear they must have made a mistake creating the entry for Magnemite, creating it as if it were a normal spawn and not a distortion exclusive, especially since Magnezone appears in the wild!

Also, nice vlog intro. Liked and suscirbed!

Massive Mass Outbreaks have gotta be one of my favorite things in this game. Just rushing up to an outbreak and hearing that little shiny sound get's the dopamine flowing. Got a shiny Spiritomb on the initial 4 spawns and boy was I happy about it.

[SaraAson]

Silcoon and Cascoon time of day catching count if you evolve Wurmple at the correct time and get the right evo! That makes it way easier! Deafeating them is still an issue but catching is doable

7:05 You can take advantage of the Pokédex being split into 6 sections, the full dex and one for each area. You can set it so your Fieldlands dex is set to Infernape, and you Mirelands camp is set to Tangela. That way you just have to hit zr and zl to check them both.

What I find interesting is Arceus’s Research Task. This research task actually makes a lot of sense. It’s single research task states “Received a part of Arceus.” This is interesting because it implies that the Arceus you get in this game isn’t actually the Arceus you meet, but just a fraction of it. This also implies that the Arceus we see isn’t what it actually looks like.

can we please respect how John said 'agile style Psyshield Bash' flawlessly

[PowahKordz]

Congrats dude! One hell of an achievement! I no-lifed this too and did it at just over 300 hours/4 weeks. I didnt use mmos when they dropped since I didn't want to cheese the last part after I'd already done the majority of it as a grind, but I plan on doing it again at some point using MMOs and all the knowledge I gained the first time with a target of 150 hours... congrats again on this and GL to anyone else working on it! It's a super fun goal.

Also, love the way you styled this video. Thumbs up from me!

[stephens]

Fun fact, trading back and forth adds to the "Number Caught" Tasks, and (speculatively) "Number of X forms" where X is heavy or light

[mandaloriandy]

When you started doing this, I was like, "oh great, guess I'm not going to watch John for a few weeks, this sounds boring" but actually I did end up watching quite a bit, it was shockingly fun to watch and gamble on shinies showing up and see the progress being made!

[Bufferian]

I used Ingo's battles for some of the more annoying move and style requirements and just to finish grinding them out after I finished all the defeat x pokemon with a specific type of move tasks

Your pokemon are all healed and all pp restored after each battle, and you can train up weaker pokemon to be able survive a move or two so they can also finish tasks in Ingo battles

[Real_Amphy]

The evolution task has to count evolving from and into otherwise you couldn't get some tasks from 3rd stage pokemon. It just so happens that 3 stage evolutions have a middle stage that you evolve into and then out of.
Hope that explanation makes any sense to anyone but me.
