When it comes to the endgame of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you’ll want an impressive team. The game focuses more on exploration than battling when compared to your average Pokémon adventure, but if you skirt by on your favorites and gimmicky ‘mons, you’re going to get a rude awakening right at the end. So here are ten teams that’ll all but guarantee you a clean sweep for the penultimate battle.
For all intents and purposes, this is your standard Diamond/Pearl/Platinum team–only Infernape has been swapped out for Legends: Arceus’s fire starter, Typhlosion. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more well-rounded team than this.
If you want a Pokémon team that strikes fear into the heart of your enemies, look no further. This team is as intimidating as it is tough.
Supposing you want to use your Legends: Arceus team to show off some of the coolest new forms and evolutions, might I suggest this configuration?
Did somebody order some hard-hitters? Because this team hits like a truck.
How about an all-Eevee team? Clan leaders Adaman and Irida have a Leafeon and Glaceon, respectively, so why not complete the set?
The original Sinnoh starters are all available in the wild, so if you’re looking for a nostalgic run full of all your old favorites–plus a few additional hard-hitters–consider aligning yourself with this squad.
I call this one “Team Speed.” If you want a group of Pokémon that can take down nearly any threat before the opponent has even considered their first move, this is that very group.
A “kill them with kindness” team. Looks cute, is actually deadly.
One of the most physically bulky teams you can get. This squad could get hit with a freight train and hardly get a scratch.
An Alabaster Icelands team! This is the last part of the map that’s unlocked, and therefore, home to some of the toughest Pokémon available.
