To add on to this, the book that states that it's these three Pokemon is specific to BDSP. "This book is titled "The Sea's Legend." It's a text that was only recently discovered, and its ancient letters were decoded." "Once upon a time in the East Sea, there was a Pokémon known as the prince. A brave human asked Pokémon living in the sea to let them see the prince." "Mantyke, Buizel, and a Qwilfish with huge spikes acknowledged the human's bravery and joined them. Together, they set off in a boat over the sunset-streaked sea, sailing through the ocean gate stretched over the waves." "News of this reached the ears of the prince, who went to meet the brave little party at the Seaside Hollow."

I'm not gonna lie, when Volo hit me with the "Approaching Cynthia" motif at the start of his battle, I knew it was gonna be rough. I was *not* prepared for going two rounds with Giratina after the fact, even if I did make it through with my horribly underleveled team (two at like level 53, two at level 57, two at level 65) Even adding Palkia and Dialga to raise my average level still saw me struggle a few times. If I can offer one piece of advice for people going into this game, it'd definitely be "don't overlevel", because this fight is quite possibly the hardest one they've ever made, and even when I was struggling I loved every second of it because it was an actual challenge.

One mechanic that most people missed during their playthrough which makes catching agressive Pokémon a lot easier: Throw some Spoiled Apricorns, Balls of Mud or Snowballs at them until they get exhausted (the stat drop animation will play). Tgey will now be catchable witgout a battle for a short time and you can run to its back and get a simple Back Strike catch without having to battle or run away. If you use Sticky Globs, less of them are required to achieve the effect and this metgodcan also be used on Alpha Pokémon as well.

personally I'd say that all 3 have their merits, if we're going off their normal forms I'd say that Decidueye is best. Hisuian Typhlosion is definitely my favourite though, easily beats the Hisuian forms of the other two (I feel like Hisuian Samurot looks more like a cool shiny than a regional variant) and I'd place it above normal Decidueye too.

You mentioned that the wisps are really easy to spot from a distance at night. That made me realize an aspect of this game I want to praise: the distance rendering. Not even botw has distance rendering this good. And all while botw is a much more powerful game. I guess LA’s distance rendering is this good because it doesn’t have to render so much up close at once, but it still amazes me whenever I see a wisp on a mountain far in the distance.

Okay. I’ve just picked up Arceus as like a side game, I already caught 204 Pokémon even before collecting dialga and palkia and giratina. Now I know the sides quests and what nots. Scizor I defeated by accident as I know all of the weakness to opposing Pokémon. I got to a 6 star rank and eventually caught all the alphas, and space then distortion Pokémon. I found if I was a high enough rank, I could catch anything. With all in all I’m now sitting at just under 59 hours at 58:57 because I did all the battles, evolved my Pokémon and wanted to complete 10/10 research for everything I caught. Included in giving them food, using countermoves and catching as many off guard. It’s really been super immersive like I’m actually being a Pokémon trainer and filling out the Pokédex. Thank you for the video

I had to grind a few levels and change up my Team. I also abused his AI because he sends out Party members that are super effective against your mon. I manipulated him to send out his Team in a specific order so that I could heal my entire team at the end of the battle before the giratina battle started.
@seanpierce45662 жыл бұрын
I just want to say that my fight against Volo and both Giratina forms was also a HUGE difficulty spike. I literally only ever used normal Revives through the whole story cause I could predict swap or just clear with some sacs. And the legs can almost all be caught without fighting if you do it right. But when I got to Volo's fight, I did NOT expect to suddenly be hit by 6 level 65 pokemon with stats comparable to mine and I was only rocking 3 68's, a 57, and a 48 along with the 71 Shaymin I happily found early on. I got busted first round. Second round, knowing the pokemon, I could swap much better and went in to Giratina with only 1 pokemon down (not having kill-swaps makes knowing typing way more important cause you have to know if your mon is about to get decked by switching them in). Got him down and then second form came in and wiped me with little to no reservation. So then I finally used items I had literally never touched in the game so far: max revives and max potions. I had to be able to bring mons that got switch-sacced by the Cynthia team/Giratina switch in. Third times the charm, pulling out all the stops and replacing useless moves on the mons for that specific fight (psychic is useless on my Gardevoir, but the fairy and other elements are useful). Definitely the hardest fight I've ever had outside of Elite 4 Champs and those I just decide to outlevel most of the time. This champ hit me out of left field and bent me over a couple times...

You can capture the non-Arceus Mythicals after capturing Dialga and Palkia, actually. You don't need to capture Arceus to get the other Mythicals (but you don't need the Mythicals to capture Arceus). Also, for the Manaphy quest, it's based on a book found in the Canalave Library in _Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl_ called, appropriately enough, The Sea's Legend, where it mentions a Buizel, a Mantyke, and a "Qwilfish with especially large spikes", referring to Overqwil. As for Shaymin, the place where you find it? _Floraro Garden_ which sounds familiar doesn't it? And a dead field of flowers that returns to life after an expression of gratitude? The Shaymin quest is the backstory for Floraroma Town!
