Research tasks in Pokémon Legends: Arceus explained
To complete a Pokédex entry in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you must complete enough research tasks for that species of Pokémon until you have reached research level 10.
Each Pokémon has a list of dedicated research tasks and these tasks can be anything from how many you have caught, witnessing specific moves in battle, or evolving it. Some Pokémon also have query-related research tasks, such as finding out if Drifloon really plays with children.
Some research tasks have multiple steps, allowing you to increase the research level of an entry by repeating the same activity. A common example of this is the “Number Caught” task which, for some Pokémon, can increase its wanted level at least five times.
You can check a Pokémon’s Research Tasks by visiting its page in your Pokédex and pressing Down. This brings up a list of all their associated tasks and your progress with them. Search tasks for a Pokémon can also be accessed by focusing on it in the wild and pressing Down.
Your current research level for that Pokemon can also be found at the bottom of their entry.
During the Pokédex Progress Report at the end of each investigation, you’ll review the Pokédex entries you’ve updated or completed, as well as the number of Research Tasks you’ve completed.
Our Pokémon Legends: Arceus walkthrough will guide you through this new adventure! It starts with selecting your starter Pokémon, before you’re tasked with completing the Hisui Pokédex by completing research tasks.
