Perhaps more so than any other Pokemon game before it, Pokemon Legends: Arceus really encourages players to catch them all. This task is a lot easier said than done, however, with 242 Pokemon available throughout the entirety of the game. 85 of these are tied to the game's very first region, the Obsidian Fieldlands, though it is worth noting that Shaymin can also be found here if players have Sword & Shield save data on their Switch.
Interestingly, not all of these Pokemon can actually be caught in the area, with some needing to be obtained through evolution or found elsewhere instead. Even so, they fall under the Obsidian Fieldlands heading in the Hisui Pokedex, meaning that Pokemon Legends: Arceus players will need to get their hands on them in order to fully complete the region's Pokedex page.
Updated June 15, 2022, by Tom Bowen: By now, most players should have already completed the main story in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. However, with 242 Pokemon available in total, completing the Hisui Pokedex and encountering Arceus can take quite a bit more work. The good news is that 85 of these Pokemon show up in the Obsidian Fieldlands section of the dex, making it one of the most diverse and fruitful locations in the entire game. Those hoping to catch them all may benefit from the following guide, which, in addition to listing the locations of every Pokemon in the Obisidian Fieldlands, has now been updated to include information about the area's Alpha and Space-Time Distortion Pokemon.

Alpha Pokemon in the Obsidian Fieldlands
There are 19 Alpha Pokemon available in the Obsidian Fieldlands, though not all of them can be found right away. This is because players will need to befriend Basculegion and Sneasler to fully explore the region, with certain locations only accessible via climbing or swimming. The below table includes all 19 Alpha Pokemon in the Obsidian Fieldlands, including their levels and the areas in which they spawn.

Space-Time Distortions
Though Eevee, Leafeon, and Sylveon are the only Space-Time Distortion Pokemon to appear in the Obsidian Fieldlands section of the Pokedex, there are plenty of other Pokemon that players could run into while exploring a rift. These include Gengar, Johtonian Sneasel, and Weavile, who, along with Leafeon, can only be caught inside the area's Space-Time Distortions. Sneasel and Weavile are considered rare spawns and so will show up a lot less often than the other 11 Pokemon that can potentially be encountered.
