Game Freak’s new Pokemon game is bringing the Sinnoh Region to us in a whole new way. Before Jubilife City, before the Elite Four, before a map littered with Routes, there was the Hisui Region. This open wilderness is the setting for Pokemon Legends Arceus and there’s going to be a lot of it to explore. If you want to make getting around a little easier, you might want to know how you can ride certain Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Arceus. Here’s what we know so far…

How to ride Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Arceus

If you want to ride Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Arceus, you’re going to need to get your hands on the Celestica Flute. This is an item we’re expecting you to gain access to early in the game as it appears to be a key item to exploration and traversal.

At the moment, we don’t know how you get this item specifically – however, the game itself is almost out and we should find out soon.

Here’s what we know about it so far…

” During your adventure, you’ll receive a Celestica Flute. You can play the flute to summon special Pokémon that will let you ride them. Riding these Pokémon on land, across water, or even through the skies will help you more freely explore the Hisui region.”
