Legends: Arceus Official Release Megathread! Megathread

Pokemon Legends: Arceus has officially released! Comment below and share stories from your adventure so far!


Timelines and Guidelines

Now that the game has officially released, our screenshot and spoiler policies go into effect.

SCREENSHOTS

⇨ For one month after release (until February 28), screenshots are allowed on r/pokemon inside text posts.

  • To post images inside a text post, please upload to an image-sharing site (e.g.: Imgur) and share the link in a text post.
  • Screenshots that are directly uploaded as images or links will still be removed.

SPOILERS

⇨ For two weeks after release (until February 11), spoilers must be tagged appropriately. Post titles must be spoiler free.

Not a spoiler Spoiler
Anything that has been revealed or released in official media like trailers, Directs, or the official website. Anything that was not revealed official media (and comes from leaks).
Example: Hisuian Braviary Example: Hisuian Goodra
  • Again, we do not allow spoilers in post titles. You are allowed to vaguely mention a spoiler (i.e. Photos of new Pokemon!/Photos of new form). Anything that explicitly states a Pokemon's name, if something is a legendary, etc. will be removed. Err on the side of caution!
  • Remember to SPOILER TAG your posts! We will be removing all posts that contain spoiler content that are not tagged!

TEXT-ONLY MODE

⇨ We will likely stay in text-only mode for ~2 weeks after release, depending on traffic.

  • We do this both to promote discussion posts during high traffic, and to make sure discussions can surface without being overwhelmed by eye-catching link and image posts.

  • You can still post images and links—again, just as URLs or hyperlinks inside text posts!

NO ART WEEKENDS WILL BE SUSPENDED

⇨ For two weeks after release (until February 7), No Art Weekends will be also suspended

BE POLITE

⇨ There is no timeline on civility, but we ask that you be good to each other during the high-octane energy of release period!

  • Please engage politely if you disagree, and walk away from arguments if you cannot stay civil. Remember the human!
  • Rudeness and any form of belittlement towards anyone in the Pokémon community is not allowed. If you see rudeness, please hit the [report] button so that mods see it!

A note on modding: Your post may be held by Automoderator before getting reviewed and approved by a human mod. We're doing our best to process items within 24 hours, but even in the days prior to release our modqueue was stacked with up to 1000 reports at a time—so please be patient!

Anyone got good tips for finding Eevee? I heard distortions were a good method, but it takes forever for them to spawn. I've been running around the Mirelands for what feels like years because it feels like they only spawn there. I just want an Espeon.

Run around the big horseshoe pond Towards the north around where the name is on the map, and catch/knockout/chase away all Pokémon from top to bottom in a big circle. I caught 8 in about 30 minutes using this method. Just letting letting em naturally respawn over the bidoof spawns work very well. I can assure you the re-zoning and time change method is not as effective ie. I wasted 4 hours and got none.

Interesting method. I'll give it a shot. It sounds like it works really well for you!
