Nintendo has released a new Pokémon Legends: Arceus update which is available to download right now. Since the game’s release, developer Game Freak has been working to fix a number issues raised by the player community.
One of these fixes will make a certain Pokémon easier to catch after reports that players were finding it almost impossible to do so. Following the Pokémon Legends: Arceus update, the bugged catch rate for Cherrim in the Lonely Springs region is said to have been fixed. You can review the version 1.02 patch notes further down.
Pokémon Legends has already proven to be a massive hit for the Nintendo Switch. Despite taking the series in a new direction, it has been met with positivity by fans and critics, having sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide in its first few weeks of release.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus Update 1.02 Patch Notes
- Fixed an issue where, while offline, the screen could freeze after trying to pick up a lost satchel by throwing out a ball that contains a Pokémon.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes made it difficult to catch Cherrim.
- Fixed an issue where a certain event would not occur during a particular Mission, preventing the scenario from proceeding as intended.
- Fixed an issue where players could obtain certain Pokémon twice instead of once only as intended, prohibiting the player from obtaining other certain Pokémon. The relevant Pokémon will appear for players who were unable to catch those certain Pokémon due to this issue.
In our Pokémon Legends: Arceus review, Nic scored the spin-off a stellar 9/10:
“Pokémon Legends Arceus is a must-play game for fans of the franchise. Not only is it the very best Pokémon game yet, but it elegantly takes the formula and flips it on its head, creating a unique new challenge that fans will love. With the nods to the anime and Pokémon games abound, Arceus feels very much like a love letter from Game Freak.”
