Pokemon Legends: Arceus is set in the early days of the Pokemon universe when humans and Pokemon did not get along.
The player will join the Galaxy Expedition Team and the Survey Corps in Jubilife Village (also known as the Galaxy Team).
This game is set in the region of Hisui, which would later take the name Sinnoh in the current Pokemon universe. The player must catch every kind of Pokémon that can be found here to fill out Hisui’s very first Pokédex.
There are Pokemon in the Hisui region that is larger than their regular counterparts, have bright red eyes, and are dripping with Wild Might, which improves their stats and battle skills called Alpha Pokemon.
In this guide, we will learn where to find an Alpha Machamp!
Alpha Pokemon
The level of an Alpha Pokemon is always higher than that of its ordinary counterparts. An Alpha Pokemon will roar and send forth a shockwave when it is close to the player. The shockwave could stagger and knock the player to the ground if the player comes near enough.
Mantyke and Mantine are the only two who are not hostile. They never run away when they encounter the player (except when the type of Alpha Pokemon appears during a certain time of day or if a Space-Time Distortion appears around them).
By engaging in battle with the Alpha Pokemon before throwing a Poke Ball, the player can catch it regardless of its level.
The player can not capture them if their current obedience level is significantly lower than the Alpha Pokemon’s level.
However, the player can avoid fighting Alpha Pokemon by approaching them covertly in tall grass or by employing stealth items before tossing a Poke Ball their way.
Suppose a player is having trouble catching an Alpha Pokemon. In that case, they can also raise their Star Rank, commonly known as their Survey Corps rank, by completing Research Tasks and talking to Professor Laventon in any of the Base Camps.
Three different types of Alpha Pokemon can be found in the game: fixed Alpha Pokemon, which always spawn in the same locations and have a fixed level; random Alpha Pokemon, which may only appear after the player calms the area’s agitated Noble Pokemon; and Alpha Pokemon in Massive Mass Outbreaks, which may appear as a second wave in the same location as a Mass Outbreak’s first wave.
We will only examine fixed Alpha Pokemon, an Alpha Machamp because the other two types of Alpha Pokemon are entirely random.
Alpha Machamp
Machamp is a Fighting type Superpower Pokemon with a bluish-gray body that looks like that of a human with large muscles, two pairs of muscular arms, a pair of red eyes, yellow lips, three brown ridges on its head, a pair of feet with two toes each, black briefs, and a belt that looks like a championship belt.
According to its Pokedex entry in the game, the four arms on Machamp offer it an advantage in close offensive and defensive battles. Machamp can also quickly and easily overpower an opponent with more than a thousand hits from its fists.
An Alpha Machamp can be found north of Arena’s Approach (east of Icepeak Arena or west of Avalugg’s Legacy) in the Alabaster Icelands and in the area mentioned at all times of the day and in every weather condition. The Alpha Machamp that can be found in this location is a Level 70 Pokemon.
It is advised to sneak up behind the Alpha Pokemon utilizing long grass and/or other stealth items like Smoke Bombs, then throw the player’s Pokemon or Poke Ball on its back to catch it unawares.
Machamp prefers Springy Mushrooms, Dazzling Honey, Hearty Grains, and Plump Beans if you want to use food to divert it before you catch or battle it.
Also, it is important to mention if you plan on battling it first before catching it, that Machamp, again, is a Fighting-type Pokemon which means it has a weakness to Fairy-type, Flying-type, and Psychic-type moves (super effective) and resistance to the Bug-type, Dark-type, and Rock-type moves (not very effective).
Aside from the Alpha Machamp found in the location mentioned above, the regular, non-alpha, Machamp can also be found in Massive Mass Outbreaks in the Cobalt Coastlands and the Alabaster Icelands.
Now that the player has caught an Alpha Machamp, the player can try to use the Alpha Machamp to complete other requests, missions, or Arceus’ task for the player, which is to catch ‘em all!
