Pastures play an important role in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, allowing players to store their Pokemon and switch up their teams at their convenience. Initially, fans will have access to just eight Pastures, each of which can hold up to 30 Pokemon. While these 240 storage spaces may be enough for some players, others will undoubtedly need more, and this guide details exactly how those Pokemon collectors can unlock additional Pastures in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus - How to Unlock More Pastures
Players that would like to have access to additional Pastures should begin by putting at least one Pokemon in every Pasture that they have unlocked. When that has been done, fans should end their conversations with Marie and then speak with her again to view their Pastures. Pokemon Legends: Arceus players will now discover that they have more Pastures at their disposal, and they can repeat this process several times to unlock even more.
With respect to the maximum number of Pastures that can be obtained with this method, players can unlock 29 at any point during the game, provided that they have a sufficient number of Pokemon to put one in every box. Then, once a fan has beat Pokemon Legends: Arceus, they can return to Marie to add two more Pastures to their holdings. This makes a total of 31 Pastures and 930 storage spaces, which should meet the needs of most players.
That said, if a fan is struggling with their storage situation even after unlocking all possible Pastures, they may need to consider releasing some of their Pokemon. Initially, the process of releasing Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus can feel a bit tedious, as fans will only be able to dispatch one at a time. That will change as players progress through the game and fill up their Pastures, though, as they will eventually earn the ability to release multiple Pokemon simultaneously.
To perform a mass release, fans should simply visit the Pasture, press X, and select all the Pokemon that they want to get rid of. This feature is a great way to quickly clear out unwanted duplicates, and it should make it fairly easy for players to avoid filling up all 930 storage spaces. Indeed, with the total number of Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus being relatively low, sitting at 242, only the most-dedicated collectors are likely to run into problems with the Pasture limit.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
