PLA V1.0.2 update

A patch to update Pokemon Legends: Arceus to Version 1.0.2 is now available, and fixes bugs from Version 1.0.1. Read on for Version 1.0.2 patch notes, updates, bug fixes, and issues. This includes bug fixes for game crashes and the bug surrounding Cherrim's capture.

Version 1.0.2 Update and Patch Notes

Bug Fixes

1 Fixed a bug where the screen would freeze if you picked up fallen items (or knocked down items to pick up) by throwing a Pokemon in a Pokeball at the item in Offline Mode.
2 Fixed a bug where players could become unable to catch Cherrim. This was a common concern from the day one patch as a lot of users experienced being unable to catch Cherrim **once it changes forms.
3 Fixed a bug where some events would not trigger during the Main Story Missions, leaving players unable to progress the game.
4 Fixed a bug where some Pokemon that were only supposed to be possible to catch once during Missions were able to be caught twice.

Cherrim Bug Fixed

Before the update was released, Cherrim cannot be caught if it changes its form during an encounter. This has been fixed so that you can catch it with no problems when it changes its form during battles.

How to Catch Cherrim

Update Announcement and Release Date

The update was announced on the Japanese Pokemon twitter account on February 9, 2022.

You can check if your software is up to date after pressing the + or - buttons on the Pokemon Legends Arceus application while on the Home Screen. It will be under the title on the top left corner.
