So Your Pokémon Thinks You're a Jerk? How to Be BFFs in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Ah, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Catching 'em all is fun, but what about befriending them? Because let's face it, some of your early catches might be giving you the side-eye. Fear not, aspiring Pokémon whisperer! Here's your guide to turning that frown upside down (or whatever your Pokémon frowns with... maybe it's a disgruntled chirp?).
Step 1: Ditch the Poké Ball (Unless You're Offering Snacks)
We all know the feeling: you chuck a Poké Ball, and BAM! New best friend, right? Wrong. Think of it like this: would you befriend someone who just hurled a giant red and white sphere at your head? Probably not. Instead, keep your Pokémon out and about. Let them experience the wonders of Hisui (or the sheer terror of a rogue Budew).
Subheading: Pro-tip: While you're at it, maybe avoid chucking them headfirst at breakable rocks. A little trust goes a long way.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.![]()
Step 2: Sharing is Caring (Especially When It Comes to Berries)
Forget five-star restaurants, your Pokémon craves simple things: berries! Sharing your bounty shows you care, and who doesn't love a free Razzy Berry after a tough battle? Plus, watching them chomp on those berries is oddly adorable.
Subheading: Not-So-Pro-Tip: Sharing your half-eaten sandwich might not be the best idea. Trust us, trust us on this one.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.![]()
Step 3: Material Matters (Especially When It Comes to Friendship)
Alright, this might sound weird, but Pokémon love to help out! Let them use their, ahem, "unique" skills to gather resources. Whether it's Budew bashfully breaking a rock or your Luxio casually chopping down a tree, every little bit helps... and boosts your friendship level along the way.
Subheading: Life Pro-Tip: Don't make your Machoke clear a whole forest. Sustainability is key, folks.
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.![]()
**Step 4: Battle Buddies
Battles are a great way to bond. Dodging attacks, unleashing powerful moves - it's like a Pokémon version of couples yoga, only way less awkward (hopefully). Plus, winning together builds camaraderie. Just remember to revive them if they faint – a little KO CPR never hurt anyone (well, maybe the fainted Pokémon, but you get the idea).
Step 5: Be the Trainer They Deserve (Not the One Who Makes Them Fight Their Best Friend)
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.![]()
Okay, this one's pretty basic, but treat your Pokémon with respect! Keep them healthy with potions and revives. Don't make them fight their evolutionary kin – that's just messed up. Basically, be the trainer you'd want to have, not the one who screams at their Pikachu for missing a Thunder.
There you have it! With a little time, effort, and maybe a few free berries, you'll be the ultimate Pokémon BFF in no time. Remember, friendship is a two-way street (or a four-legged path, if you prefer). So ditch the Poké Ball as a conversation starter, grab some berries, and get ready to build a bond that'll last a lifetime (or at least until your next shiny encounter).
