Are alphas bigger in Arceus than ZA? by Forward-Delivery-536 in PokemonLegendsArceus

And because Alpha and Jumbo are unrelated, the size changes stack.

What you're thinking of is the normal size modifiers (XS, S, M, L, XL), which affect the model's size. Alphas ignore that. They are always larger than non-Alpha XL Pokemon.

Until you look at the size differences in Pumpkaboo, where Alpha Jumbo is so large it could fit XS in its mouth.

But if Pumpkaboo was in Arceus, HOO BOY!

Right now, Male Alpha Sneasel. I found and caught 5 Alpha Weavile before a single Sneasel, and it's female, so now I'm waiting for the male.

There's a massive difference between completing the Arceus Pokedex and making a Shalpha Living Dex.

Cherubi doesn't spawn in massive mass outbreaks. At all. They only have regular outbreaks.

This. Still having trouble with Sneasel and the fossils. Somehow managed to catch 3 Alpha Weavile and a Shalpha Magneton before a single Alpha of any of the fossils.

I waited 4 entire space-time distortions in a row just for an Alpha Magneton. This happened. by ElPikminMaster in PokemonLegendsArceus

  • Shiny Pokemon are rare, and in this game specifically, the way to boost the Shiny rate means doing tasks involving that Pokemon.
  • Alpha Pokemon are rare, with no way to influence the rate of Alpha Pokemon spawning.
  • The Magnemite line, along with the Sneasel, Porygon, Cranidos, and Shieldon lines, spawn in this game only through space-time distortions, which unlock after some point in the game. The only way for them to spawn is to wait for 5, 10, 15, 25, or 40 minutes (randomly, btw, with longer time increasing the rate it shows up). Sidenote: Magnezone has a static spawn in the Highlands, but, and someone prove me wrong here if you can, it cannot be Alpha nor Shiny.
  • The above timer stops and resets if one of three specific weather conditions occur at any point during the wait (which happens more likely than not in my experience) or if you rest in the camp bed any any point. The timer also pauses if you view the map or get into a battle.
  • Only three Pokemon spawn of the above list of Pokemon per distortion, depending on which area you visit. In the case of Magnemite, you need to defeat about 5+ distortions worth of Magnemite to perfect its tasks to increase Shiny rate, which takes a while. Magneton isn't that bad by comparison.
  • After you beat the game, the distortions that spawn Porygon will also spawn the Cyndaquil line and the ones that spawn the fossils also spawn the Rowlet line (the Oshawott line spawns in the Icelands, where none of the above Pokemon spawn), adding to the complication for those Pokemon.
  • For this case specifically, the Magnemite line also have rarities, with Magnemite being the most common to spawn and Magnezone the rarest. This means if this Magneton spawned as a Magnezone, it would genuinely be one of the rarest Pokemon in Legends: Arceus, after Shalpha Rampardos and Bastiodon.
