Cresselia brings about happy dreams, expelling nightmares. It’s often seen as Darkrai’s counterpart, which is responsible for nightmares. The pink psychic type pokemon is always female, and is also known for its healing properties.

To catch Cresselia, first accept the post-game mission, The Plate of the Moonview Arena. To accept the mission, talk to Calabra and Melli at the Coronet Highlands. After doing so, head towards the Moonview Arena. Talk to Melli, and prepare for battle. 

Before starting the real fight, Cresselia throws out confusion. If the player gets hit, their controls will be reversed. Throw a pokeball at the pink mist to dispell the move. Then, throw a pokemon at Cresselia to start the fight. Per usual, just weaken the pokemon and attempt to catch it thereafter. Keep in mind, Cresselia is Psychic type. Therefore, plan typing around that to make the job easier.

In Conclusion

Unlike the other mainline pokemon games, Pokemon Legends Arceus allows players to reattempt Legendary encounters if the player accidentally kills them. In other words, don’t worry too much about saving beforehand, and perfecting the catch on the first try. Returning to Jubilife City and then heading back to the area should respawn Cresselia. There’s a ton more to do outside of attempting to catch the post-game Legendaries. Hopefully, players are enjoying their play throughs of Pokemon Legends Arceus as much as the Staff members here at The Game Haus.
