How to earn Merit Points in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Ad Trending

To earn Merit Points, trainers have to locate and return Lost Satchels. As a reward, players are given Merit Points and free items like Revives and Poke Balls. Those lost items are then sent back to the owner.

Finding Lost Satchels is as simple as opening the map. Pick an area to investigate. What you’re looking for is a small icon that resembles a satchel. Hovering over it with your cursor will give you the name of the trainer that lost it. Use the map pin system to plot a course.

Despite Pokemon Legends: Arceus suggesting you have to look within the circle, lost satchels can always be found at the very center. After you’ve picked up the lost satchel, it still has to be claimed. This is done under the Communications tab in the menu.
