There are over 100 Requests in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, offering players rewards for completing tasks for the NPCs of the Hisui region. This guide will go over Request 12 in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, titled "A Perfect Pickling Stone." One of the townspeople at Jubilife Village named Radisa wants the player to catch them a Geodude so that she can use it as the perfect pickling stone, hence the name of the side quest.
How to Start A Perfect Pickling Stone Request
Radisa will appear on the second floor of the Galaxy Hall after players battle Akari/Rei during the Request from Mai mission, the fifth mission in the game's story. After leaving the Training Ground, just reset the village by leaving and then coming back --Radisa should be at the Galaxy Hall now for players to take on the Request.
Where to Catch Geodude
Considering that Geodude is a fairly common Pokemon, it can be found in a bunch of different spots. However, the fastest way is to just leave the village and head to Deertrack Heights in Obsidian Fieldlands. The Geodude here will be especially weak, making it really easy to catch one without much effort or wasted Poke Balls.
Geodude can also be caught at Coronet Highlands, Cobalt Coastlands, and Crimson Mirelands. The only biome where Geodude cannot be found is Alabaster Icelands.
Where to Find Radisa Again
When players catch the Geodude, they can find Radisa back in Jubilife Village, but she will not be hanging out at the Galaxy Hall this time around. Instead, she can be found inside her home to the east of the farm.
Speak with her to hand over the Geodude. If players have more than one Geodude, make sure to pick the one that is not needed. Once she takes the Geodude, there's no way to get it back from her.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Request 12 Rewards
Radisa will give Pokemon Legends: Arceus players one Exp. Candy S and three Honey Cakes.
- Exp. Candy can be consumed by a Pokemon to give it a small number of experience points.
- Honey Cakes are effective at attracting Bug and Fairy-type Pokemon.
While completing Request 12 is entirely optional, players will have to take care of it before they can accept Request 53: Octillery's Ink.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available for the Nintendo Switch.
