Pokémon Legends: Arceus has an enormous Pokédex for you to fill out, although it's not quite the largest one in the franchise's history.
Essentially a prequel, the open-world game is set in a bygone era before Pokémon and humans had learned to live in peaceful harmony. You play as an intrepid adventurer who has been sent on an expedition to study the hitherto uncharted region of Hisui (which will one day be known as "Sinnoh") and uncover its hidden secrets.
Completing this endeavor will require you to become familiar with the diverse flora and fauna of Hisui. You will need to research the area's plant life, survey its wild terrain, learn to craft materials and invent new gear by harvesting its resources.
Of course, your main task will be to compile an exhaustive Pokédex that lists every living creature that can be found roaming this newly-discovered land. Think of it like you're cataloguing the wilderness.
As seasoned veterans of Nintendo's franchise will know, the only way to add entries into your bestiary is to capture the relevant Pokémon. In the case of Legends: Arceus, your method for doing this will be slightly different, as you won't be solely reliant on defeating pocket monsters in combat. Instead, you'll need to use your wits to sneak up on them, lure them into traps and even tame them with an offering of their favorite foods.
How Long Is 'Pokémon Legends: Arceus' and How Many Pokémon Are There?
According to estimates from those who have managed to play the game early (via leaked files), it takes roughly 20 hours to blast through the main story here. If you truly want to "catch 'em all" and fill out the entire Pokédex, then it could take you upwards of 35 hours.
This is because Pokémon Legends: Arceus has a roster of 242 individual creatures for you to discover. That might not be as many as are featured in titles like Pokémon GO or Ultra Sun and Moon, but it's undeniably a lot to get through.
If it follows in the footsteps of Pokémon Unite, then you can also expect to see those ranks swell as more and more characters are added to the Legends: Arceus roster over time.
'Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Full Pokédex
Although Pokémon Legends: Arceus is not out yet in North America, many details about the game have already started to filter through online.
Once people got their hands on early leaked copies (in the week commencing January 17), it was only a matter of time before the full Pokédex became public knowledge. Data miners quickly scoured through the game's code and began to share lists of all 242 creatures that can be captured in Hisui on Reddit.
These reports have now been corroborated by other players who have managed to produce detailed video walkthroughs on where to find each of the new beasts.
With that said, here are all 242 Pokémon that are included in Pokémon Legends: Arceus at launch. The numbers correlate to their respective Pokédex entries.
