Hisuian Braviary	Flying Press A when falling to summon Braviary. To speed up hold B and to dive down to the ground press Y.	Follow Sabi through the Alabaster Icelands and proceed through Snowpoint Temple in The Slumbering Lord of the Tundra. Once you've caught up, defeat Sabi and Braviary. Defeating them will unlock Braviary.

These rideable Pokemon work similarly like HMs from previous Pokemon games, as it allows traversal of areas that were previously inaccessible.

On the other hand, the Poke Ride mechanic from Pokemon Sun and Moon is quite similar from the Ride Pokemon in Legends: Arceus, as you can choose which Pokemon to ride on and take advantage of its unique abilities.

Ride Basculegion on Water

Basculegion allows you to traverse the bodies of water and reach islands.

Fly with Hisuian Braviary

Hisuian Braviary lets you soar through the sky and travel great distances with ease.

Additionally, Hisuian Braviary will lift you off the ground after summoning it, allowing you ascend from low levels!

How to Get Hisuian Braviary

Gain Altitude with Hisuian Braviary

Although riding Hisuian Braviary seems more like gliding rather than flying, there is actually a trick to gain altitude while riding the noble. To do this, simply press the Y, +, and A buttons in that order and in rapid succession. It takes a few tries to get the timing right but this is the only way we have found to gain altitude.

It doesn't have a lot of practical uses other than reaching higher places that Sneasler can't climb like the Glacier in Avalugg's Legacy and Snowpoint Temple.

Ride Wyrdeer on Land

Wyrdeer takes you across the land by letting you hop on its back. You can ride Wyrdeer to quickly move across the map.

Wyrdeer can also jump to reach elevated places and climb on small hills as long as it is not too steep.

How to Get Wyrdeer

Ride Ursaluna to Dig for Treasure

Ursaluna can detect spots that have hidden items, similar to the Dowsing Machine in other Pokemon games. Follow the signal in front of Ursaluna's nose to locate treasures!
