In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players can obtain more crafting recipes through a few different methods, allowing them to be as close to self-sufficient as possible in a Pokémon game. Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes place early in Pokémon's history than any other game in a time where Poké Balls are being used for the first time. As a member of the Galaxy Team Survey Corps, players will be required to think on their feet in the field as they attempt to complete the Pokédex, and sometimes that means they'll have to craft their own items.
Crafting items in Pokémon Legends: Arceus can be done either at the crafting stations in campsites and Jubalife Village or through the Crafting Kit in players' Key Items pouch. The Crafting Kit in the Key Items pouch has the full accessibility that the crafting stations have elsewhere in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, so players may feel free to use any location they prefer to craft. Aside from a station, the only things required to craft are ingredients and recipes.
Despite the myriad of recipes available to players in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, there are only a handful of methods that players need to take advantage of in order to receive them all. First and foremost, the best crafting recipes come from the increase in Star Ranks levels throughout Pokémon Legends: Arceus. These recipes are the bread and butter of the Galaxy Team Survey Corps equipment, allowing players to gain more crafting recipes for various kinds of Poké Balls and Potions. Without these items, players will have an increasingly difficult time trying to catch strong Pokémon in the wild, as well as recovering from various encounters with trainers and Pocket Monsters alike in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Pokémon Legends: Arceus - How To Find More Crafting Recipes
As players will also notice early on, a few of the crafting recipes come from completing the main missions in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. However, there are also a few recipes that also can be obtained by completing requests as players venture across the Hisui region. Obtaining these recipes varies in difficulty, but they're all useful items like the starting Poké Ball, Revives, Smoke Bombs, and a few items that are fantastic to use in the field. Smoke Bombs, in particular, are great for escaping Alpha Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, so it's always nice to have a couple of them on hand in case things go sideways in the field.
There are also some recipes that can be purchased in Pokémon Legends: Arceus from the Craftworks in Jubilife Village for Poké Dollars. More recipes will be unlocked as players progress further into the game, so be sure to check back at the shop occasionally and complete every request to unlock every crafting recipe in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is available now on Nintendo Switch.
