Pokemon Legends Arceus is the latest entry in the popular Pokemon franchise, and it marks a big departure from the typical series formula fans have become used to. Not only is there a semi open-world to explore, there’s also a whole crafting system to check out, as well as a simple crop farming mechanic to get into as well. Here’s everything you need to know about how the farming system works in Pokemon Legends Arceus.
Pokemon Legends Arceus Farming System Explained
First things first, you’ll need to actually unlock the farm to start planting crops and gaining some passive items. The farm can be unlocked once you’ve caught at least eight Pokemon and you’re able to start accepting requests.
Unlocking the Farm & All Upgrades in Pokemon Legends Arceus
- Head over to the farm in Jubilife Village and speak with the NPC there to accept their request for a Rock-type Pokemon.
The farm is located on the west side of the village. Any Ground-type Pokemon will do for this quest, and we recommend handing over a Geodude since they’re fairly common in the Obsidian Fieldlands. You can always take your Pokemon back by speaking with it, though you do need to replace it with another Ground-type Pokemon to keep the farm open.
- You can then choose from five different crop options to put the farm to work.
You can go for Apricorns, Medicinal, Vegetable, Mushroom, or Berry. The Apricorn harvest is the cheapest one, only costing you 500 Poke Dollars, and the Berry harvest is the priciest, which will set you back 3,000 Poke Dollars.
- Once you’ve picked a crop option, head out and catch some Pokemon, then come back to the farm to check on its progress.
After spending some time in the open-world and catching Pokemon, you can speak with the farm NPC again to collect your yields, then choose another harvest type if you’d like.
- After calming the Noble Pokemon in the Crimson Mirelands, you can upgrade the farm again.
Speak with the farm NPC for another request. This time, you’ll need to deliver a Water-type Pokemon, and upon completing the request, you’ll gain more rewards for each harvest.
- Finally, after beating the Noble Pokemon in the Coastlands, a last upgrade becomes available.
This time, you’ll be required to hand over a Pokemon that knows Rock Smash. After completing the request, more fields will become available, allowing you to collect even more rewards. This will also unlock the final harvest option, Mint, which will cost 10,000 Poke Dollars.
Growing Crops and Pricing Options
As we touched on a little earlier, there are six different harvest options you can choose from. We’ve listed them below, along with their rewards and prices:
As you can see, the farming system can be a huge boon to players looking to quickly gather items to help with their crafting efforts. It’s also an invaluable resource for players who enjoy EV training and trying to get perfect natures for their team. With Mint farming, it’s become a lot easier to adjust a Pokemon’s nature to get the perfect combination of stats you need for it.
