With Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl having limited players to Pokemon from the first four generations of Pokemon games and Pokemon Sword & Shield cutting a significant number of Pokemon at launch, many wondered how many Pokemon there would be in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Now that the game is available worldwide, that question has finally been answered.

How Many Pokemon Are There in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

There are 242 Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the overwhelming majority of which are from the first few generations of Pokemon games. This total includes 17 Hisuian forms and seven brand-new Pokemon, with all but one of these joining pre-existing evolutionary lines. Players will be able to catch most of these Pokemon in a standard playthrough, though will need to have save data from both Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and Sword & Shield for a few of the Mythical Pokemon.
