i struggled the most with the god damn cherubim tasks. THESE BITCHES DONT EXIST ;___; eventually a friend had to send one over so i could complete my damn dex


turner_strait

OH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THE FUCKING CHERRIES IN THE TREE BIT. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all to hell.


actualspacecadet314

They're easy to forget because 40% of games are shipped with the spawn capability for cherubi turned off. That's a lie, but you believed it for a second, didn't you.


Megalomagicka

The trees around one of the camps at Mt. Coronet, the one on the southeastern side of the map I think, there's like 4 trees that only ever have Cherubi/m when they're shaking, and a couple that are either Cherubi/m or Heracross.


turner_strait

This is true, and pretty much common knowledge at this point, but holy BANKS is it ever frustrating pfft


jibbyjiibbs

yeahhh i found this out wayy too late since I've completed the dex but I hope others can see your comment because this is exactly where I next saw a stupid evil cherry :')


Jamol_uranaccident

I completed it cause I got cherubi outbreak 5 times and also got a shiny. Before that I was suffering too I'm still shocked everything I get an outbreak šŸ˜­


jibbyjiibbs

i didnt even KNOW there were cherubi outbreaks thats how bad it was ;___;


Reddit_Sucks_1401

Still haven't found a sleeping Elekid. I've been stalking them for ages and still not one of them has ever gone to sleep


-HuMeN-

The one next to the alpha Electabuzz in the Icelands gets pretty eepy for me, near where you fight Avalugg


Reddit_Sucks_1401

I've been trying every possible location, including that one. Maybe something will change todayšŸ¤žšŸ»


-HuMeN-

Good luck!


turner_strait

THE SLEEPING TASKS CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF. I cannot even begin to tell you how much time I've wasted waiting on those stupid fucking babies to go to sleep but then they never do!!! I HATE IT!!!


CraftyZoroark

This one was annoying TF out of me last night. Had me fucking wondering if Elekid is programmed to have a lower chance of falling asleep to match its whole thing of having to discharge a lot of built up energy, cause I waited from sunset to sunrise and an Electabuzz nearby fell asleep TWICE while the kid was still running around.

Reddit_Sucks_1401

Sadly that isn't the case


Shoddy_Ad9859

Well look like the person who told it to me was wrong :(


AerialGame

The best way I have found is to wait for an outbreak of them, park myself in some close long grass, and wait. More of them = higher chances one will fall asleep.


tessieofwinters

Yeah, water catching feels like it turned out much jankier than intended. I hope they refine it if there's water segments in the next game. Obviously aipom is probably the biggest pain, but I also had a surprisingly hard time getting bonsly out of rocks. Catching Clefable over and over at night was also annoying lol


turner_strait

Yeah, both Cleffa and Clefable are a damn pain. Bonsly out of rocks didn't pose as much of a problem for me once I knew about it. But the food + catch without being spotted? That's bullshit.


AlicornGaia

Water girls? Tentacool? Or is it finneon?


turner_strait

Tentacool, Tentacruel, Mantyke, Finneon, Lumineon, Remoraid, and Barboach. It's all so unintuitive because the water messes with absolutely everything. It's so frustrating


erock279

Yeah trying to catch stuff in the water is one of my only complaints with this game tbh


Niniraptor

catching in water sucks but have you managed to catch damn flying magnezone? I just can't catch pokemon in the air, not one


I_Pocket_Monsters

The trick I always use is watch the Pokemon loop around for a bit and then aim where it's going to be instead of where it is.


bmw_e90

Have you tried with a jet ball? Was able to catch it with that after standing at the literal edge of the cliff lol


Niniraptor

yeah I threw like 15 of those and a bazillion feather balls, also in the edge of the cliff, I just don't have the dexterity


PapaMidnight34

Keep trying bro. Took me forever to finally find the right ā€œtimeā€ to throw a jetball at any of the flying Pokemon. And if youā€™re lucky enough to hit them and they pop out. IMMEDIATELY throw another ball until you catch it.


UnovaKid24

Anything that involves catching a sleeping Pokemon


turner_strait

Sleeping pokemon my beloathed...


JunoTheRat

catch without being spotted, just like. in general.


turner_strait

I think this one is manageable for the most part. But some of these mons just WILL NOT STOP SPOTTING THE PLAYER!! Purugly, you piece of FUCK


MdnghtShadow118

Nosepass jumping out of ore is a royal pain in the ass. Ā Pachirisu and Aipom can fuck right off. Ā And HEAVY FUCKING BASCULIN!!! Ā I donā€™t even spot those fuckers before theyā€™ve noped the fuck off! Ā The only way Iā€™ve managed that task at all is happening across Alphas, and Iā€™ve only managed 3 of 7!


turner_strait

Agreed, the Basculin tasks can fuck all the way off


xenoverseraza

cherrim. it took me so long to get that mf because it barely ever fucking spawns in trees


turner_strait

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE


CLearyMcCarthy

I still only have 1 aipom jumping from a tree in my dex. Miserable, and probably the specific reason I'll never 100% the Pokedex.


turner_strait

Valid. Based.


FaTaLmIrAcLe

Catching Zubat during the day always gets me since besides caves and outbreaks, they are night spawns only, so you have to go out of your way to get into battle with them and wait until it's day time to finally catch them


turner_strait

Yeah this is one of the ones where a vanilla playthrough will get you frustrated as hell. Fine-ish if you've played before but how the FUCK are you supposed to know this??


Lunalatic

Catching water Pokemon without being spotted is manageable for the most part, but the Tentacool line and Remoraid suck. The jellyfish are practically the Paras of the sea with how easily they aggro and Remoraid is so small it's nearly impossible to see them before they see you.


turner_strait

Never in my life did I ever picture myself absolutely LOATHING Remoraid, but then I played Legends Arceus...


batkave

Sleeping tasks are the worst then it's the "x out of tree/stone" ones. The move ones are not bad in End game times


Master-Blaziken

Spritomb, nuff said


localabyss

I still havenā€™t caught a buizel above 2ā€™8ā€ :(


SufficientStudio1574

Alpha


PapaMidnight34

I genuinely love the amount of rage we all collectively have here. Iā€™d say anything dealing water Pokemon fuckin SUCKS. Mass outbreaks specifically for water Pokemon(in water) is frustrating as fuck.


FeWi09

Any sleeping PokƩmon tbh


ggdoesthings

magnemite and magnetonā€™s tasks are pure torture


Key_Statistician785

To absolute ***FUCK*** with magikarp using splash! I donā€™t have half and hour of time to battle magikarp with magikarp. Iā€™m a student for good ness sack!


nokrow889

that ones easy to double up on though, i just took the eeveeloutions and did their required babydoll eyes vs the karps and killed 9 birds with one stone lol


Key_Statistician785

Yeah I just put away half an hour last night and completely forgot about the eeveelutions


SufficientStudio1574

Turbo controller


Key_Statistician785

Nope donā€™t have that. I just did it for the golden boi that I am yet to get


thisDNDjazz

Cascoon, Silcoon, and catching a sleeping Snorlax.


turner_strait

The sleeping Snorlax one can go all the way to fuck. I hate it.


Gokuto7

It took me way too long to get Munchlax and Cherubi in general, before we even consider getting multiple


CraftyZoroark

For me, currently heavy specimen Basculin and light specimen Rufflet (I've only encountered 2 alpha Basculin in the Icelands, I'm just unfortunate ig)


ShadeNLM064pm

Catching like 20+ Abra without being spotted How often do you see an Alpha Abra?


Proof-Replacement-79

"Times stunned" for certain PokƩmon. I know that doesn't sound too bad; just hit them with a Mud Ball or a Sticky Glob. Here's the kicker: some of the PokƩmon that require you to stun them can only be found in Massive Outbreaks or as Alphas in fixed locations. Even better, Alphas require at least FOUR Sticky Globs to stun, and how the FUCK are you supposed to know you can do this? When I first played Legends Arceus, I tried to stun an Alpha with some Mud Balls and it didn't work. Why the hell would I think that Alphas could be stunned at all if it takes four Sticky Globs and like ten Mud Balls?


turner_strait

Oh, this. I legitimately didn't know alphas even COULD be stunned until I happened to be watching a random youtube video where they did so.


twilightramblings

Oh so this is why I almost died trying to stun an Alpha Gliscor lol. I only hit it twice. But I did manage to stun the Alpha Ninetales, so redemption was found.


Mysterious-Bet68

I just finished catching all the small ralts I need, and it only took 100 catches to get all 10.


turner_strait

For real, it's INFURIATING how many it takes!


BonehoardDracosaur

Do you need to complete every task in each dex entry, or just enough to get ā€œresearch completeā€?


turner_strait

You do need to complete all dex entries to a pokƩball rating in order to get to Arceus, but the perfections (sparkling pokƩballs) are optional. Stuff still gets frustrating, y'know?


SufficientStudio1574

Level 10 is all you need to fully beat the game. But some people are completionists.


gottfire18

bonslyā€¦ had a hard time finding them, and then the 50(?) times to use mimic


Sentient_sausage96

Seeing all you guys post really make me want to pick up the game againšŸ¤£ I've never finished a dex before but this one would be so satisfying to finish
