Alpha Dustox is a strong Pokemon found in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Learn how to get Alpha Dustox, its location, with information on its evolutions, type advantages, stats, what moves Dustox learns, and how to complete all research tasks for Dustox.

Alpha Dustox Location

Found randomly in place of normal spawns

All Pokemon which spawn around each of the game's five main maps have a small chance of being an Alpha. Similar to randomly encountering Shiny Pokemon, players simply must get lucky to encounter an Alpha version of Dustox.

There is no currently confirmed way to increase the rate of appearance of random Alpha Pokemon akin to the Mass Outbreak feature for Shinies, but you can maximize your odds of a random Alpha Pokemon appearing by leaving the Map repeatedly and returning to force Dustox to respawn.

How to Catch Alpha Dustox

Use Smoke Bombs and Razz Berries

The most important skill for catching wild Pokemon is being able to lure them with berries so that you have a clear shot on their back. Razz Berries make Pokemon easier to catch, so when combined with Heavy/Leaden/Gigaton Balls, they can make it very easy to catch Alpha Pokemon.

Repeatedly catch them unawares

This method of catching a Pokemon allows you to make use of the fact that your character can move freely during battle. Since it only involves going into battle, it requires less precision than the method that involves Smoke Bombs and Razz Berries.

Additionally, this method allows you to continuously have the Alpha Pokemon be caught unawares, so even if your Pokemon is at a much lower level than the Alpha Pokemon, you'll be able to damage them, run, catch them unawares, then repeat in a loop until their HP is low enough to easily catch them.

Raise Star Rank to Increase Catch Rate

One way of increasing an Alpha Pokemon's catch rate is by raising your Star Rank by completing Research Tasks.

If you find yourself having a hard time catching the Alpha Pokemon, raise the odds of capturing it by coming back with a higher Survey Corps rank.
