Pokémon Legends Arceus: A player get to Rank 9 without leaving the first area of the game!

As Pokémon Legends: Arceus players know, Hisui is a vast region full of Pokémon to discover. A player decided that he was going to complete his Pokédex… by staying in the first region of the game !

Pokémon Legends: Arceus offers players a whole new way to hunt Pokémon. Although the game is not open-world, it offers a much wider possibility of movement and action than in previous games of the license.

At the level of the Pokédex also, major changes are to be observed. It is no longer enough to catch Pokémon and evolve them to complete the register. Now you have to approach them in different ways and observe their reactions, just get to know them.

In this new (but old) type of Pokédex, it is necessary to complete the research levels of each Pokémon in order to progress little by little in the different star ranks. The game has 10 ranks in total and of course, it is necessary to explore Hisui far and wide in order to observe a maximum of different Pokémon and thus rise in research rank. But one player decided otherwise...

In the Obsidian Fieldlands you will stay

It is a French player who has accomplished the feat of reaching the 9th research rank of the Pokédex in the first area of the game exclusively. Indeed, he did not leave the Obsidian Fieldlands and quietly completed his research there..

Quite simply by catching as many Pokémon as possible, 73 in total , including many shiny, barons and other rare specimens. The player, called Kyarmak , also exploited the space-time distortion system in order to diversify his Pokédex a little more.

We may therefore have found the greatest tryharder in Pokémon Legends: Arceus which has therefore completely completed the Obsidian Fieldlands in 68 hours. The player, who candidly declared "it amuses me" , will therefore have to continue his adventure in Hisui and maybe one day come face to face with the Great Sinnoh!
