Pokemon Legends Arceus Gameplay January 2

This is a breakdown of the January 2 gameplay trailer featuring the stealth and sneak mechanic in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Read on for an analysis of everything we learned, including a possible Stark Mountain revealed in Hisui!

January 2 Gameplay Trailer

This trailer was first released as a Japanese commercial on January 2 before officially being uploaded onto Youtube on January 7 alongside two other Japanese commercials and a Gameplay trailer.

Possible Stark Mountain Reveal

Pokemon Legends Arceus Stark Mountain

The biggest reveal in the new gameplay trailer was that of a volcano setting. The player flies by a large, active volcano surrounded by a body of water. In Sinnoh (the modern-day Hisui), the only volcano present on the map is Stark Mountain, the home of Legendary Pokemon Heatran, which is separated by water from the main island. This could very well be the same volcano we see in the trailer.

Easily Catching a Beautifly

Pokemon Legends Arceus Catch a Beautifly

The trailer highlights the stealth mechanic of capturing Pokemon, but one brief segment shows the player catching a Beautifly while not in the cover of grass. It could mean that some wild Pokemon are not as easily aggravated as others, since the player wasn't immediately engaged despite being seen.

Battle with Wild Hisuian Growlithe

Pokemon Legends Arceus Battling Hisuian Growlithe

On the other hand, the trailer also depicts a battle with a wild Hisuian Growlithe. The Fire/Rock Type Pokemon attacks with what looks to be Rock Slide, and the player's Floatzel counters with what appears to be Aqua Tail.
