Pokémon Quetzal

A detailed guide to awakening the Alpha Pokémon

Finding Arceus is the ultimate challenge, requiring the completion of many tasks. This guide will walk you through the most efficient way to meet all the requirements.

1. Get the Poké Flute & Access the Legendary Cave

Your first step is to obtain the key item to access the area where most legendary events occur.

• Defeat Leaf: Challenge and defeat Leaf, who can be found on Route 110. She will reward you with the Poké Flute.
• Wake up Snorlax: If you haven’t already, go to the entrance of the Altering Cave on Route 103 and use the Poké Flute to wake up and defeat the Snorlax blocking the way.

2. Verify Your Progress

Before proceeding, make sure you have met two crucial completion milestones.

• All Legendaries: Open the DexNav and press the R button to cycle through the pages until you reach the legendary list. All slots must be filled except for Arceus’s.
• Complete Pokédex: Check your Pokédex. You must have 1024 Pokémon captured (every Pokémon except Arceus).

3. Assemble the Legendary Team

You need a very specific team of six Pokémon.

• Origin Dialga: Go to the Jagged Pass and defeat Rei to obtain the Adamant Crystal.
• Origin Palkia: Go to Route 134 and defeat Akari to obtain the Lustrous Globe.
• Origin Giratina: Go to the Cave of Origin and defeat Cyrus to obtain the Griseous Core.
• Mythical Pokémon: For the remaining three slots, any Mythical Pokémon will work. Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi are good examples.

4. The Fastest Way to Level Up to 100

To get your team to Level 100 quickly, use this strategy:

• Settings:
  • Activate the x8 EXP multiplier option.
  • Activate the Double Battles option.
  • Ensure EXP Share is turned on.
  • Deactivate Dynamax/Tera options.
• Preparation:
  • Equip a Lucky Egg to the Pokémon you are training.
  • Have at least one Level 100 Pokémon in your party to trigger high-level rematches.
  • Bring a Pokémon with a strong physical Fighting-type move.
• Battle: Challenge the trainer with a Blissey in the Normal-type Gym for a rematch. This provides a massive amount of EXP.

5. Phase 1: Summon the Alpha Pokémon

Change your playable character to one of the Sinnoh or Hisui protagonists: Lucas, Dawn, Rei, or Akari. With your team of six Level 100 Pokémon ready, go to the summit of Mt. Pyre and play the Poké Flute.

6. Phase 2: The Final Trial with Bidoof

• Catch a Bidoof: Go to Route 101 and capture a wild Bidoof.
• Train Bidoof: Use the same Level 100 grinding strategy to train your Bidoof.
• The Final Confrontation:
  • Activate the “Play as Pokémon” option in the settings.
  • Ensure your party contains only the Level 100 Bidoof.
  • Head to the Altering Cave on Route 103 to face the God of Pokémon.
• To defeat Arceus, make sure your Bidoof has the Unaware ability and a Fighting-type move (e.g., Superpower). In battle, use Dynamax on your Bidoof (remember to enable it first!) and use the move Max Knuckle.
• Once you defeat Arceus, you’ll have to wait for it to appear as a wild Pokémon inside the cave (the DexNav won’t work for it yet). When it spawns, battle and capture it. After the first capture, you will be able to use the DexNav in the Altering Cave to find it repeatedly!

1. Get the ideal Pokémon: Galarian Zigzagoon. Head to the tall grass on Route 121. There, you can catch a Galarian Zigzagoon at level 26. At this level, it will always know the move Rest, making it perfect for this task.

2. Use Rest in battle. Once your team is ready, enter a battle against a wild Pokémon. Let your Pokémon take some damage (Rest fails at full HP) and then use the move Rest. Your Pokémon will fully heal and fall asleep for a couple of turns. Repeat this for your entire team, and you’ll be ready!

2. Use the PC Daycare. Go to any PC and access your Boxes. In the top-right corner, you’ll see a tab called Daycare. Here, you can leave up to 6 pairs of Pokémon to breed simultaneously. A red heart between two Pokémon means they are a compatible pair. The more compatible pairs you have, the faster you’ll get eggs!

Eggs are sent directly to your egg box, accessible from Start > Misc > Eggs. Inside this box, you can track each egg’s progress and see how many steps or battles are left for it to hatch.

Steps to Fulfill Pecharunt’s Requirement

For Pecharunt to appear, you need a party where all Pokémon have the ability Toxic Chain and are holding a Mochi. Since only Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti have this ability, you will need to capture additional copies.

1. Get the Poké Flute to Clear the Path

To access the place where legendaries reappear, you must first wake up a Snorlax.

• Battle Leaf on Route 110: Once you have unlocked the post-game (by reaching the Battle Frontier), head to Route 110. You will find the trainer Leaf there. Defeat her in a battle.
• Receive the Poké Flute: Upon winning, Leaf will give you the Poké Flute.
• Wake up Snorlax: Go to Route 103. You will find a Snorlax blocking a cave entrance. Interact with it and use the Poké Flute to wake it up for a battle.

2. Capture Additional Loyal Three in the Altering Cave

Once you defeat Snorlax, the entrance to the Altering Cave will be unlocked.

• Enter the Altering Cave: In this special cave, all legendary Pokémon you have already captured or defeated will reappear.
• Capture the Loyal Three: Find and capture the copies you need of Okidogi, Munkidori, or Fezandipiti. You must ensure the ones you capture have the ability Toxic Chain.

3. Buy and Equip the Mochis

The final step is to get the required item.

• Go to the Slateport City Market: Head to the open-air market area in Slateport City.
• Buy Mochis: Speak with one of the vendors to purchase the Mochis you need.
• Equip your party: Equip each Pokémon in your party with a Mochi.

With this, your team is ready to summon Pecharunt at Mt. Pyre!

The breeding process step-by-step

Getting and hatching eggs is essential for completing the Pokédex and meeting special requirements, like Manaphy’s. This guide explains the most efficient way to do it.

1. Prepare: Catch Ditto and check your settings. The best way to start is by catching several Dittos, as they can breed with almost any Pokémon. You can find them in the cave inside the Fossil Maniac’s House (Route 114). Before you begin, go to Start > Option > Misc > Eggs and check if your game is set to hatch via Steps or Battles. This will determine how incubation progresses.

2. Use the PC Daycare. Go to any PC and access your Boxes. In the top-right corner, you’ll see a tab called Daycare. Here, you can leave up to 6 pairs of Pokémon to breed simultaneously. A red heart between two Pokémon means they are a compatible pair. The more compatible pairs you have, the faster you’ll get eggs!

3. Generate and hatch the eggs. Once paired, just play the game normally (by taking steps or battling). A message will pop up when an egg is ready. Eggs are sent directly to your egg box, accessible from Start > Misc > Eggs. Inside this box, you can track each egg’s progress and see how many steps or battles are left for it to hatch.

Steps to build a Past Paradox Team

This guide explains how to get the Past Paradox Pokémon required to find Walking Wake, Gouging Fire, and Raging Bolt. The easiest method is to create a team of Scream Tail.

• Catch a Jigglypuff: Go to Meteor Falls to find and capture a Jigglypuff.

2. Find and Capture Scream Tail

With Jigglypuff, you can now find its Paradox form.

• Go to Route 114: Head to the house located on Route 114, right next to Fallarbor Town.
• Enter the Paradox Cave: Enter the house and proceed into the cave within. Once inside, place Jigglypuff as the first Pokémon in your party. This will cause Scream Tail to appear in the wild.
• Capture your team: Catch enough Scream Tail to fill your party, leaving the first spot in your party open for your legendary Pokémon (Suicune, Entei, or Raikou).

Final Team Setup

Once you have a team of Scream Tail, place the required legendary beast (Suicune, Entei, or Raikou) in the first position of your party. You are now ready to find its corresponding Paradox form in its specified location.
