Pokemon Legends Arceus Manaphy Location

Capturing Manaphy in Pokemon Legends Arceus requires some specific steps, namely completing the request  “The Sea’s Legend” from the blackboard in Professor Laventon’s office.

How to Catch Manaphy

We recommend saving your game before you leave to capture Manaphy as you’ll have a vicious encounter at the site with Manaphy and a band of 3 Phione. You don’t have an option but to fight one against three, so send out your first Pokémon to start the fight.

We recommend concentrating on Manaphy first because it has access to Moonblast, which may do a lot of damage if you’re not cautious. Slowly catch them one by one until you’ve captured them all, then return to the camp to satisfy The Sea’s Legend request by reporting back to the professor.
