how to do research tasks in pokemon legends arceus

Research task (Legends: Arceus)

Research tasks (Japanese: 図鑑タスク encyclopedia task ) are goals set by Professor Laventon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus . Each Pokémon has a different array of tasks specific to them. This is an exclusive feature for the Hisui Pokédex .

Each research task goal met grants research levels and research points. The player must make a survey report to Professor Laventon at a base camp in order to receive credit for their progress. If the player has unreported progress, they will not be able to return to Jubilife Village .

The research points counter is capped at 99,999, even though there are a total of 125,200 points available. Upon reaching this cap, the counter in the Pokédex Progress Report screen will no longer be dynamically incremented, but a breakdown of the points that would be added, along with the audio for the latter, remains.

Research level

Each Pokémon has an associated research level. Until a Pokémon has been caught, its research level is 0. Meeting a research task goal increases that Pokémon's research level. (Goals can accumulate before a Pokémon is caught and will become valid after it is caught.) Most goals increase the Pokémon's research level by 1, but any goals marked by two upward-pointing arrows increase the research level by 2. Arceus is a special case, having only one research task goal that grants all 10 research levels at once.

The maximum research level for Pokémon is 10. When this is reached, the research level will be preceded by "Complete!" If all goals are completed, this becomes "Perfect!" Reaching complete or perfect research will increase the chances of finding that Pokémon as a Shiny Pokémon .

When Arceus and all non- Mythical species have reached research level 10, Cyllene will give the player the Shiny Charm .

A Pokémon's Pokédex page is also slowly filled out as its research level increases.

Research points

Research points are required to increase the player's rank in the Galaxy Expedition Team . Most tasks grant 10 points per goal, but tasks marked by two upward-pointing arrows give 20 points. Arceus is a special case, having only one research task that grants 100 research points at once.

Reaching complete research (research level 10) for any Pokémon will grant a bonus 100 research points.

List of research tasks

Any task with a point value of more than 10 is marked with two upward-pointing arrows in the Pokédex. The number of research levels that a task grants is effectively equal to points / 10 .

The task "Number of different forms you've obtained" applies to both regional forms and gender differences , but does not count other different forms separately (such as Cherrim or Shaymin 's forms), nor Shiny or alpha Pokémon separately.

The task "Number you've evolved" applies both to evolving from and to that species. For example, evolving a Rowlet into a Dartrix and then into a Decidueye will count twice towards Dartrix's evolution task.

The task "Times you’ve seen it use [move]" requires seeing the move used in battle, whether from a wild Pokémon or a Trainer 's Pokémon, including the player's. Moves that miss do not count.

Eighteen different species have research tasks that are tied to completing a request involving that Pokémon. Before the request is completed, the task count will read "Method unknown". After completing the request, the count will be replaced with a checked off "1".
