Pokémon Legends: Arceus changes the classic formula by focusing on catching, research tasks, and the noble Pokémon battles that close out each area. Your team matters more than in a standard playthrough because Alpha Pokémon and the frenzied nobles hit hard and do not follow traditional turn order. This guide covers the best team for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, from your first Hisuian starter to the Pokémon that carry you through the final battle against Volo and Giratina. Your Starter: Pick Based on Coverage Professor Laventon offers Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott at the start.
