Anyone who is currently doing the Pokedex tasks in Pokemon Legends Arceus may have asked themselves what the “Large Specimens” and the “Heavy Specimens” are all about. For many Pokemon, the task is to catch a large or heavy one in addition to the normal specimen, but what exactly does that mean and can you find the other specimens in the same locations as the “normal” specimen?
Pokémon Legends Arceus: Catch heavy and large specimens?
So the question arises, how can you recognize the large or heavy specimens in Pokemon Arceus? Yes, you can distinguish a large specimen from a normal one and also a heavy specimen from a normal specimen. The problem is that the difference in size between the Pokemon is so small that it is difficult to recognize them without a direct comparison. Even sneaking up and targeting it beforehand does not provide any information about whether it is a normal, heavy or large Pokemon.
In short, you can actually only complete the Pokedex task by simply catching all the Pokemon of the species and with a bit of luck, the specimens you are looking for will usually be there. Alternatively, you could of course compare the Pokemon in size, but as mentioned above, it’s not that easy due to the small difference in size. You can throw a Pokeball more quickly and take a few normal specimens with you as “bycatch”. The Pokemon that have been caught twice and three times can later be released across the meadow.
Unlike the elite Pokemon, the heavy and large specimens do not differ in appearance and do not have red eyes, but only slightly in size and dimensions.
Tip: This is how you can earn money quickly in Pokémon Legends Arceus and easily farm Pokedollars in the early and mid-game.
