How to master moves in Pokémon Legends Arceus

Improve a Pokémon's attacks by unlocking Strong and Agile styles.

You’ll be working with your Pokémon throughout your journey in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Capturing Pokémon is critical, but training with them and battling against other Pokémon you encounter in the wild. Eventually, if you work with your Pokémon enough, they can master their moves, unlocking these attacks’ Strong and Agile style forms. How do you master moves in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and what do you need to speed up the process?

Your Pokémon will master the moves as they progressively level up. A Pokémon will master a move as they reach a certain level, so you want to make sure that you keep your Pokémon in your party if you want them to become stronger and learn specific moves. The stronger they become, the more moves they master, giving them more diverse choices whenever they’re used in battle.

You’ll know when a Pokémon has mastered a move when you see a small next to the attack’s name in the battle menu. From there, you can swap between Strong and Agile attacks during combat.

How Pokémon master their moves is not too clear at the beginning of the game. It boils down to your Pokémon’s level, so if you catch one in the wild that’s stronger than the one you’re using, there’s a good chance it’s mastered moves that are different than the ones yours is using.
