Eevee evolutions are fan favorites, but choosing the best one can be a challenge. Here are the best choices in Pokemon Legends Arceus.

As guardians and protectors of the region of Hisui, Noble Pokemon are mighty creatures that exist as powerful bosses that players can capture. Each of these is located in different areas of Hisui as some of the game's toughest Pocket Monsters.

While they are all-powerful, some are stronger than others, with levels and attack patterns deciding their ranking.

Kleavor is found in the Obsidian Fieldlands. It is an ancient evolution of Scyther and a powerful bug and rock-typing warrior that uses its axe hands to deliver some serious damage. When trainers first encounter the Lord, they are frenzied, using frequent charges and axe-swinging in battle.

Players must use their surroundings to defeat Kleavor, using the creature's tendency to charge at high speeds against them. Kleavor is the weakest of the Noble Pokemon, being just level 18 when first battled. Despite this, he is no pushover, presenting a challenging encounter for players at the start of Legends: Arceus.

4 Lady of the Ridge: Lilligant

Graceful Shockwave Dancer

Stun Spore

Taking a step up level-wise at level 30, Lady of the Ridge: Lilligant is the next Noble Pokemon player's fight as they make their way through the story of Legends: Arceus. Upon battling, Lilligant is subdued by Marsh Balms. After being quelled, players must jump for their lives as the Pokemon sends out numerous shockwaves by pounding the ground.

As the battle progresses, Lilligant's shockwaves become more powerful, covering a larger area of damage and making it more challenging for the player to avoid. While not the strongest Noble Pokemon, Lilligant can be difficult to beat once she becomes weakened.

3 Lord of the Isles: Arcanine

Fan favorite and Generation 1 Pokemon, Arcanine, got its own Hisuian form in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, becoming nobility as the third Noble Pokemon players battle in Legends: Arceus. Otherwise known as Lord of the Isles, Arcanine is a powerful foe first battled in the Molten Arena. Like other Noble Pokemon, Arcanine must first be calmed down before it is battled using balmes; in the case of this particular Pocket Monster, players must use volcano balmes.

The Lord of the Isles is one of the stronger Noble Pokemon, using a variety of powerful attacks such as charging and firing fireballs to defeat opponents. The creature also has an undeniable explosion attack, making it particularly deadly. Players must attack Arcanine to stop the attack and land damage. Like other Noble Pokemon, it becomes more dangerous as it gets weaker, using its fire abilities to corner even the strongest trainers.

2 Lord of the Hollow: Electrode

Chaotic Thunder Menace

Moves

Type

Thunder Wave

Electric, Status

Energy Ball

Grass, Special

Thunderbolt

Electric, Special

Thunder

Electric, Special

Electrodes can be challenging at the best of times, often using surprise self-destruct moves to faint other Pokemon. This particular Electrode is incredibly dangerous. It uses its immense power to shoot Thunderbolts down from the sky, even summoning Voltorbs to attack the player as a mini army of self-destruction.

Pokemon Legends Arceus: The Pokemon With The Highest Attack Stats

There are some tough battles to fight in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, but having these Pokemon on your team will get you through.

Lord of the Hollow will also attempt to self-destruct as part of his attack pattern with increased speed as it gets low on health to try and throw the player off guard. In short, battling this Noble Pokemon is incredibly chaotic, requiring the most skilled players to defeat it. Players first battle Lord of the Hollow at level 46, which is a significant jump up in power when compared to some other Noble Pokemon.

1 Lord of the Tundra: Avalugg

Glacial Titan Overlord

Moves

Type

Earth Power

Ground, Special

Mountain Gale

Ice, Physical

Blizzard

Ice, Special

Double-Edge

Normal, Physical

The most powerful and final Noble Pokemon player's battle is Avalugg, Lord of the Tundra. Lord Avalugg is stronger than all other Noble Pokemon at level 56 and arguably has the most deadly attack pattern out of all of them. Using an ice beam, gale, and other ice attacks, such as large icicles, to trap players and their Pokemon, Lord Avalugg is no pushover when dishing out damage on a substantial scale.

Lord Avalugg's ice beam is particularly dangerous, covering the entire Icepeak arena. Players must dodge this powerful move to land an attack using their Pokemon once Avalugg is stunned. Like other Noble Pokemon, Avalugg can be rematched at level 70. A tank in nature as an ice and rock type, this Pocket Monster has been blessed by the Pokemon gods with unmatched power among the Noble Pokemon. It is the strongest Noble Pokemon out of them all, boasting a powerful moveset and leveling ten levels higher than Electrode.
