How to restore Pokémon and character health in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

With Pokémon being your main line of defense and offense in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you’ll want to make sure that they are taken care of. That being said, there is a new element of care you have to pay attention to with your playable character also having a health bar that can be depleted by attacking wild Pokémon. Here is how to restore the health of your Pokémon and your protagonist in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Pokémon

Like in the other games in the series, you can heal Pokémon with items that you craft in the village or find in the world. For example, Oran Berries recover 20 health, while Super Potions bring back 100 health points. You can use items either during your turn in a battle or while walking around the world.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Centers have not yet been built, so there is no hospital you can take them to have them treated. Instead, sleeping will bring them back to full health. Go to a settlement or base camp and sleep in a bed for any period of time, and they will be fully healed.

Protagonist

To heal your protagonist in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, all you need to do is avoid damage for a while outside of combat. If a Pokémon is actively trying to target you, your health will not return, so be sure to dodge away from any incoming attacks and use your Pokémon to save yourself. After you have escaped the battle, your health will slowly come back.

While you will not see the health bar of your protagonist, you will want to pay attention to the borders of your screen. If everything is normal, you are healthy, a black border means you have taken some damage, and a red border indicates you are close to blacking out and need to find a bed soon.
