The credits of Pokémon Legends: Arceus are only one stage. The postgame adds the hunt for legendary Pokémon and plates, rematches against the noble Pokémon, demanding battle modes and, since the free Daybreak update, many extra requests. Here are all the postgame challenges, and what you need to take them on.
The rest of the story: legendary Pokémon and plates
Right after the credits, Mission 20 “On the Trail of the Legends” kicks off an investigation into the legendary Pokémon of Hisui. Missions 21 to 26 lead to the plates and the associated legendary Pokémon, then Mission 27 opens the way to Arceus. Everything is summed up in legendary and mythical Pokémon and detailed in our chapter 08 and chapter 09.
Rematches against the noble Pokémon
Once the story is over, you can face each noble Pokémon again in its arena by talking to its guardian. The nobles are at level 70 there, with new moves: real endgame battles, much harder than during the story. Their moves and our tips are on the page the five noble Pokémon.
Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia
Requests 106 “Adaman’s Request” and 107 “Irida’s Request” let you battle Dialga and Palkia in their Origin Forme, at the request of the two clan leaders.
The Dream Challenge
Added by Daybreak, the Dream Challenge has you meet Arceus again in a dream for a series of battles meant to test your strength. It rewards a thoroughly trained team: high levels, mastered moves and well-distributed Effort Values (see the Effort system).
The Belilla Dojo
The Belilla Dojo, where you train your Pokémon, hosts new battles with the update. Request 104 “The Security Corps’ Secret Weapon” offers a formidable opponent there. See our article the Belilla Dojo.
The Lone Path and the Heroic Path
Gaeric, of the Security Corps, offers fifteen Lone Path challenges (requests 108 to 122): a single imposed Pokémon must win a battle by making the best use of its strengths. The Heroic Path, offered by Chammal once requests 95 and 102 are complete, pits you against a series of Trainer teams. Our 2022 guides describe each battle: the Lone Path and the Heroic Path. Full list of requests in Daybreak.
