Pokémon Legends: Arceus – How to change the time of day

A lot of Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus only come out at certain times during the day – here’s how to change between morning and night.

If you’re looking in the right place for a certain Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus but can’t seem to find it, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve just arrived there at the wrong time of day. If this is the case, there’s no need to fret — it’s actually very easy to change from day to night in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Most Pokémon in the game will be affected by this day/night cycle. Some ‘mons will change where they spawn depending on the time of day, whereas others can disappear completely between morning and evening. Once you know how to switch between the two though, catching just about anything becomes a breeze.

Still, the game only really clarifies that you can change the time once, and that is very early on in its runtime. What’s more, this explanation is extremely vague, so you’d be forgiven for forgetting it.

Because of this, we’ve decided to put together a handy little guide on how to change from night to day and vice versa in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Here’s everything you need to know.

Changing the time of day in Pokémon Legends: Arceus mostly just depends on whether you’re in Jubilife Village or out in the field. While the idea behind instigating the change is largely the same, the way in which you actually do it is slightly different.

To change the time of day in Jubilife Villageall you need to do is visit your house. If you can’t remember where this is, it’s to the right of the Galaxy Team HQ, right after the Ginkgo Guild’s caravan.

Once you get to your house, head over to your bed and interact with it. This will allow you to rest until a certain time. When you wake up, it will be the time you selected from the list of options that were provided to you.

Obviously you can’t use your own bed when you’re out in the Obsidian Fieldlands or Crimson Mirelands, so you’ll have to visit one of the Galaxy Team camps instead. When you’re here, talk to the Corps member next to Professor Laventon.

As well as allowing you to change your Pokémon and buy new items, this guy gives you the option to rest. From here, it functions the exact same way as it does with your own bed in Jubilife Village, although it’s particularly valuable to rest out in the field because it also heals your entire party to full HP.
