What happens when you complete the Pokédex in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the latest in the long-running Pokémon franchise. As with any mainline entry, players can complete the Pokédex on their quest, but Legends offers unique rewards beyond a Shiny Charm to those who catalog each beast in the Hisui region.

Once players complete the Pokédex in Pokémon Legends Arceus, they'll earn the right to challenge Arceus to a battle at the Temple of Sinnoh. This fight is reminiscent of the Noble Pokémon boss battles in the main game, as players must use balms to subdue Arceus, battling him with their partner Pokémon if they stun him. If players can defeat this Legendary Pokémon battle, they'll earn a copy of him that will join their team and accompany them on their journey throughout the Hisui region.
