How To Catch Alpha Pokemon In Pokemon Legends Arceus

There are two main tools to bring to the able to ensure you catch Alpha Pokemon each and every time.
Firstly, the Heavy Ball line. These balls fly through the air like a led balloon. You can maybe throw them 5ft before they fall to the floor, so you need to get close. You can use any berries to bait Alpha’s but using the preferred food for that Pokemon drastically improves the chances of catching one.
