A number of bugs, glitches, and exploits have been discovered in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Read on to learn all known bugs, glitches, and exploits such as the Cresselia bug, how to fly higher with Braviary, as well as how to fix the Moonview Arena bug.
List of Contents
Some players can't progress through the post-game if they have caught Cresselia before triggering the cutscene with Melli and Calaba in Moonview Arena. No Dread Plate will be given and Mission 23: The Plate of Moonview Arena will remain incomplete despite having Cresselia in your team.
Restarting the game, uninstalling and installing the game again, having Research Level 10 on Cresselia, or even releasing Cresselia itself do not fix the bug.
The Pokemon Company has acknowledged the problem and said the bug will be fixed in the next patch. In the meantime, don't forget to watch the cutscene with Melli and Calaba first before catching Cresselia.
You can try loading your backup save data to fix the Cresselia bug. Do this by following the steps below.
| Steps to Temporarily Fix Cresselia Bug | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Close the game and go to the Nintendo Switch's home menu. |
| 2 | Open the game again and wait until you see the title screen. |
| 3 | Once you're at the title screen, press the Up, X, and B buttons at the same time to bring up the save screen. |
| 4 |  Now that you're on the save screen, all you need to do is press A to load your backup save file. |
| 5 | You should find yourself at Coronet Highlands just before capturing Cresselia. This time, talk to Melli and Calaba first to make sure the game won't bug and you'll be able to continue with your adventure. |
There is a chance that this fix won't work for you especially when you have already made plenty of progress in the game after catching Cresselia. In such cases, the only fix would be a patch from the Pokemon Company itself.
It is possible to cross a body of water by lining up Bibarels and walking on top of them. This will allow you to reach islands in Obsidian Fieldlands and Crimson Mirelands during the early game even before unlocking Basculegion which lets you surf on water.
| Steps to Make a Bibarel Bridge | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Along a riverbank, find a slope that is not too steep. You should still be able to stand on the slope without sliding in the water. |
| 2 |  Face the water and throw a Bibarel with half its body still on land and the other submerged. |
| 3 |  Walk up to Bibarel until you are able to stand mid-air. This step will take you a couple of attempts. Try adjusting Bibarel's positioning, crouching and walking up to Bibarel, or find another area. |
| 4 |  Face the direction of where you want to go and throw another Bibarel next to the one you are standing on. It is recommended to save often as you progress so you can reset the game if you fall down Bibarel. |
| 5 | Return the first few Bibarels you sent out to their Poke Balls and connect them in front of you. |
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 fly higher.
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.
There is a visual bug in Pokemon Legends: Arceus where you can make your character glow. All you need is Basculegion and the balloon race game.
This bug doesn't really offer a lot of practical uses but it sure is fun to see your character glow! It's also neat that sleeping and fast travelling to different sub-areas would not make your character lose that glow. Follow the steps below to try it out yourself.
| Steps to Make Your Character Glow | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Fast travel to Coastlands Camp in Cobalt Coastlands and talk to the Balloon Race man to start the mini-game. |
| 2 |  As soon as the mini-game starts, go to the water to summon Basculegion and do a leap with it by pressing the Y button. |
| 3 |  While in the air, press the + button and end the mini-game. |
| 4 |  The Balloon Race man will talk to you afterrwards but you should be able to notice that your character is already glowing as he talks to you. |
In version 1.0.1 of the game, there is a bug in the game where if Cherrim changes form in the middle of battle, it cannot be caught no matter how low its HP gets. The detailed cause is unknown. This is a bug that has been acknowledged by the Pokemon Company and has already been fixed in the 1.0.2 patch.
