How to save your progress in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Anywhere, anytime

Saving your progress is simple in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. All you have to do is head to the menu by pressing up on the d-pad. Navigate to the ”Save’ menu by clicking ZR on your Nintendo Switch once and then hit A. Boom, you’ve saved your progress.

This save function will immediately save your progress no matter where you are. You can shut the game down, or leave it in sleep mode, and pick up exactly where you left up when you boot Pokémon Legends: Arceus up again the next time you play.

Like other Pokémon games, the save screen also includes your in-game progress. That includes the level of the Pokémon that will obey you, the current time and location as well as your Star Rank in the game. This is effectively your Pokémon Legends: Arceus calling card. Use to to brag about how many pocket monsters you’ve caught.

You can only have one save file, similar to previous entries in the series. If someone else tries to start a new file on your game then your progress will be erased. Be careful who you lend your game and Nintendo Switch to!
