The ninth request in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is one that adds yet another Pokemon to join the people of Jubilife Village. This time, it is a Zubat for an NPC named Clarissa. The quest can be found on the bulletin board at Galaxy Headquarters in Professor Laventon's room. If the quest is not yet on the board, players are recommended to either progress more through the main story and/or register a Zubat to the Pokedex.
Completing this quest will not only bring a Zubat to Jubilife Village, but will also award the player with two Aux Powers. These Pokemon Legends: Arceus items are basically like X battle items from previous Pokemon titles. They can be used to boost the offensive stats of a Pokemon during a battle.
Talk To Clarissa
After picking up the quest from Professor Laventon's bulletin board, Clarissa needs to be spoken to. She stands between buildings and the farmland in the southwestern part of Jubilife Village. She will have questions about Zubat, and the only way for her to get answers is to be shown a Zubat.
If the player does not have a Zubat already, they can be caught in many areas such as the Obsidian Fieldlands, Crimson Mirelands, Alabaster Icelands, and Coronet Highlands. Since it does not matter what level the Zubat is, it is recommended to head to the Obsidian Fieldlands for the easiest capture. It is best to go at night, as that is when most Zubat are around.
Catching Zubat
Zubat are plentiful and easy to capture at the Obsidian Fieldlands at night. Locations within the area where Zubat often spawn include the Tidewater Dam, Oreburrow Tunnel, The Heartwood, Deertrack Path, Windswept Run, Deertrack Heights, Nature's Pantry, and the Worn Bridge.
They will always be flying around, so aiming the Poke Ball may be the biggest challenge. Regular Poke Balls, however, should be just fine for this capture.
If the Zubat is battled, remember that they are weak to Ice, Rock, Psychic, and Electric-type damage and are immune to Ground-type moves. Go easy on the super-effective moves, as Zubat can be easy to faint. Once a Zubat is captured, try not to level it up at all. Clarissa does not want a Golbat, and a Zubat can turn into one when it reaches level 22.
After catching Zubat, return to Clarissa at Jubilife Village in the same spot she was before, and let her examine the Pokemon. She will draw her conclusions and the quest will be complete. She will reward the player with two Aux Powers.
