The Alpha Pokémon are the large, menacing Pokémon you can find in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. You’ll be able to tell you’re about to battle against an Alpha Pokémon based on its size and its glowing red eyes. These Pokémon are much stronger than the traditional ones you may find in the wild. So, because of how powerful they are, can you catch Alpha Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

We can confirm that Alpha Pokémon are catchable in Pokémon Legends. Unlike other Pokémon, you cannot sneak up behind them or try to distract them. Instead, you’ll have to focus entirely on trying to battle and weaken them. You want to make sure you use the best Pokémon you’ve captured during your journey to face off against them.

The problem with catching Alpha Pokémon in Pokémon Legends is that they have a low success rate. A good way to increase your chances of catching an Alpha Pokémon is to increase your Galaxy Expedition rank. The higher rank you have, the stronger Pokémon you can catch and control. If you’re struggling to try to catch an Alpha Pokémon, you may need to wait until you increase your Galaxy Expedition rank, and progress further in the game.

We recommend trying to go after Alpha Pokémon, but make sure you’re prepared to battle them. Don’t be discouraged if you cannot capture them because these Pokémon are tough, and the chance of success is low if you’re unprepared.
