 Hello friends welcome to today's video my name is Lee I hope you're all doing well and in this video we're going to go through all the tips and tricks for how to best catch Alpha Pokemon in Pokemon Legends RCS. Alpha Pokemon are probably one of the best new features that we've got in Pokemon Legends RCS. I mean there are a bunch of really cool features that we've had in Legends RCS but I think Alpha Pokemon are definitely a big draw of this. They're variant of any Pokemon that are available but they're bigger, they're more aggressive and they're pretty much more difficult to catch. You can approach catching the Alpha Pokemon in a very different amount of ways. You can kind of go head on with them, attack them, you can go stealth mode. But in this video I'm going to go through a bunch of methods and probably my favourite ones with how best and easiest to catch these Alpha Pokemon. So let's hop into game and we'll kick off with probably the strongest Alpha Pokemon that we've got available in Legends RCS and that's going to be a god jump. You can just see it over the top here. Now normally there are like I say a bunch of ways to kind of approach catching these Alpha Pokemon. Like I say one of the ways is to attack them head on. We've got to be a little bit careful here. This is probably a good time to talk about an item that kind of helps disguise you and make you not noticed by these Alpha Pokemon and that is the stealth spray. It's not going to make you like invisible to them but it will make you harder to see and it will make it easier for you to kind of sneak around them there. So just want to be aware the other item that we're going to talk about right now is a smoke bomb. A smoke bomb if there on is no grass area then the smoke bomb is your best friend. Like this god chomp it's level 85 so you're going to have to be far enough into your playthrough to be able to get it. But with having no cover in this area it makes it even more difficult. So you're going to really need to take advantage of things like smoke bombs to give you cover at least and as long as you are in here you can stand up you don't need to crouch. God chomp won't be able to see you and especially if you've got that stealth spray active then it makes it a lot easier. The other thing that you can do is have a look at a particular Pokemon's Pokedex entry. If we come to God chomp you can see that God chomp has got its preferred foods and this can be the same for all Pokemon. Now God chomp likes honey grains and beans so if you've got any of these items here you can use these to distract the Pokemon and kind of take their attention off you for a moment while they're eating. It makes them easier to catch as well and you can also get kind of a prolonged period while they're eating if you have these items with cakes. Now you can get these recipes so you there you see you've got a bean cake there we've got their grain cake and we've got the honey cake. So this God chomp's actually sleeping and this is a good kind of another good thing to say. If the Pokemon's sleeping when you are approaching it it's going to be less active obviously not going to be spotting you so much. So you're going to have a way easier time sneaking up on it as well. So you'll be able to tell it's sleeping obviously it will be normally lying down or something like this but if we go to lock on with a Pokeball with it you're going to see the green marker here and these markers here kind of indicate how easy it is going to be to catch. Now God chomp here going to be very easy to catch because it is sleeping we're disguised and that marker will change as soon as it gets up. So if we just throw a sticky glob at it because a sticky glob is another item it's a bit like a mud ball but even for the strongest alphas you're going to be able to use the sticky globs to kind of stun these Pokemon. It takes about four to stun an alpha Pokemon so you can see if we can do this just wake it up a bit and we'll see we'll see. So there we've got one oh here we go it's going to start you're gonna have to be one two three four are we hitting it oh we're not there we go okay so you can see we can hit it there and then we can just throw a Pokeball at it I don't know if this is going to be able to catch it or not maybe it's pretty strong nope there we go so you can see that's that's one method to doing it with the sticky globs for sure that is a method for you to kind of approach the alpha Pokemon now if you get into a bit of a situation there where you you don't catch it and it attacks you and you're kind of risking getting knocked out and you want to avoid use Braviary it's probably the best kind of thing to use to get away from these alpha Pokemon at least in my experience just keep an eye on your screen as well with your stealth sprays as soon as that wears off you'll get a message saying that stealth sprays worn off and you'll need to reactivate a new one because otherwise you'll be more not spoiled by the the alphas so if we drop down here we'll try and approach it again and we'll do the food method so again you want to have your stealth spray on and we got our smoke bombs we've got any left there we go okay we'll drop a smoke bomb down just here that'll give us a bit of extra cover and we'll use one of our bean cakes here and we'll see if we can kind of preoccupy Garchomp enough to sneak up on it with let's see if we can go a giga tin bowl because that's always the style points I feel is it gonna go for the bean cake kind of want to approach it from the back as well if you can get a backshot on these Pokemon it's a lot easier now this is a little bit tricky because we're a bit open here we have got a stealth spray on we want to drop a smoke bomb just so it gives us that cover it's spot us because our stealth sprays worn off as well we left that a little bit too late and yeah it's gonna come for us which is not ideal so yeah we'll try this again I think Garchomp's probably one of the most difficult ones to catch so it's kind of interesting that we can do all these things with it as I say if it does spot you you just want to fly away and just wait until that red kind of eye marker disappears spot us again so we've not been as sneaky as we could have been so we're gonna just approach this from a different angle now and I'm gonna try the bean cake again because we couldn't really get that to work so what you want to do is try and throw in a direction away from where you are so hopefully that kind of draws the Pokemon with its back to you that would that's the most ideal scenario here and you can see here that Garchomp's eating it's markers gone to green and you can gig it some ball at this time just sneak up on it with the self-seria activated we've got the smoke screen has just worn off but that was kind of protecting us and then we've got the Garchomp so that's one way to do this and now we use a different example here we are in the Crimson Merelands and we've got an alpha Rosarade here and you can see here if we come out of the grass you'll be able to see the kind of you'll hear your volume change for one and you'll also see this kind of silhouette appear around your your eye line but as long as you're in the grass you can kind of hide you still got to be careful stealth spray is something I would recommend still but then you're not gonna need the need for any sort of things like smoke bombs now you can see it's got a decent ish catch rate right now but again what you can do is just highlight it and then click down it'll bring up its Pokedex entry and you can see again what foods it's gonna like like the salts mushrooms and honey so didn't mean to throw a pokerball on it you can do that but there are better ways to to approach in it this is one way of approaching it I guess okay another really good example after the Rosarade was kind of failed although it wasn't really a fail I guess it was just a good example of showing you how you can kind of use the grass to sneak up on them not have to battle them and then go from there what I was trying to explain at the time was sometimes when you come across an alpha Pokemon they're gonna be other Pokemon around you you're gonna have to be aware of you're gonna have to be make sure you are stealth use the grass cover if you've got it and you're gonna have to make sure that they're not alerted to you so the grass here is a very good cover for this here across and what you can do is you can lock on as soon as you're locked on it'll bring us Pokedex entry up if you press down and then you can have a look at the food some mushrooms honey grain and beans and what we want to do is try and find some sort of cake the cakes are the best because they're gonna mean that it takes a lot more time for the alpha to eat it and we'll just show you here so this hair across here it's gonna go for this in cake and you'll see it's yellow now it's green okay so that instantly makes it easier to catch right and you can see the amount of time that it takes for a cake to be eaten now if we go to just say just a bit of honey and this is a considerable amount of time that you're gonna have a lot of time to sneak up on it it's gonna be distracted and pick it up now it's finished eating it goes back to yellow now if our stealth spray has worn off so we need to be a bit careful but if we throw just a normal bit of honey out and we can see it will have the same sort of effect but you won't have as long and without a stealth spray and it isn't as strong either so you're not gonna have as good chances to get it now gigaton balls are an almost guarantee and you want to go for the back shot sneak up on it and then hopefully that is gonna be a wait oh and then you want to dodge out it's gonna is it gonna spot us yet it's not spot us get your stealth spray back on as soon as you can get into the cover and hope it hasn't spotted you it has bought us I think it has bought us has it no I don't think it has so there is ways you can kind of distract it with the honey cake quickly get that honey cake on and then we can wait for it to start eating we've got that green and now you can just sneak up on it gigaton ball it we can pretty much touch it get that gigaton ball there and because it's green gonna have a better chance to catch it and that should lock it in and there you go you see so there are ways to do it quite stealthily you don't need to engage in battle obviously there are ways that you can kind of just battle Pokemon as well if they are an alpha if you've got a strong enough Pokemon team and you can come and battle the alphas because they're gonna give good payouts with with items etc and it's also maybe an easier way for you to approach it rather than going down a route where you have to play that kind of the stealth mode now as you see when you approach an alpha like this this is gonna be one of the first ones you're probably gonna come across in obsidian field lands and it will notice us and as soon as it notices us you can just engage in battle with it and you're gonna have a few ways to approach this you can throw a pokeball straight at it or you can just attack it kind of weaken it a little bit you can see they're all gonna be very high levels and once you've weakened it a little bit you can then just approach to throw a pokeball at it ultra ball whatever you want at it and then that should be a way to catch it so this is probably the most simple kind of straightforward method but like I say you want to be able to utilize the items that you you've got access to the sticky globs are gonna be a really good one the smoke bombs are gonna be a way for you to have cover and then the cakes as well and these can all be obtained from in jubilee village okay so when you're in jubilee village you're gonna have access to the shop area of the trader here and I will be doing a video on how to unlock all the items from the trader here you can see here you've got all your pokeballs you've got your healing items but you've also got access to the stealth spray the sticky globs and the smoke bombs and also the scatterbanks as well as well as all the cakes they're not too expensive and especially if you know how to farm money in this game do check out my latest money guide where you can go and just really really farm money very easily or farm items for money very easily and then when you've got the items for the money it's probably best to buy the items rather than farming them yourself because you can craft all of these items but I would say this chap the crafting store is the one to come to you can buy your crafting materials here to make the sticky globs smoke bombs and and everything that you're gonna need as well as your kind of pokeballs as well and the item cost is way cheaper here and you can also buy the recipes from this chap as well so you can see here I've got the sticky glob recipe there you've got a star piece if you want that and then you've got all these other kind of cake recipes bean cakes and everything that you're gonna need to to kind of craft these items so you can see here and craft some some honey cake if you want dazzling honey and cake lure base that's all you kind of need so it's easy enough to get all of these items that you need to take out into the field and make this process a lot easier so like I say check out my money farming guide on the channel because it is gonna make just getting these items a lot easier to take out on the field and hence it'll make catching the alphas way way easier so I hope friends you found this video useful there are a lot of tips in here but primarily it's just about being stealthy it's about not having to engage in battle and if you do you've got the option to either throw a Pokemon added or play around with it have a bit more fun with the sticky globs try and stun them and things like that and then catch them that way and it's it I find it a lot of fun going I love the stealth mode in this game that you can apply that to catching the Pokemon and you've always got a chance to get a shiny alpha as well so if that does happen make sure to drop a safe straight away if it goes wrong then at least you can come back in and it should still be shiny for you to catch but have fun hope you found these tips and tricks useful and ways to approach an alpha Pokemon and something that you might apply in your own games if you've got your own methods definitely let me know down the comment section below I love hearing about how other people are approaching catching these alphas I go and head on are you going to just be like man I'm not taking any medicine or do you like the more hikashi ninja style and sneak up on them and try and get them that way friends thank you so much for tuning in as always the support on the channel is amazing thank you so much do check out the other legends RCS content that we've got on the channel and thank you so much again we'll be back for another video very soon on the channel until then take care of yourselves as always and bye bye
