According to the gameplay that Pokémon Legends: Arceus is supposed to offer, the developers can implement multiplayer but in a limited way. According to the various leaks available, it is unlikely that you will be able to fight with or against other players.


However, according to the official story details, you will be able to trade your Pokémon with other players at Trading Posts in Jubilife Village.

“As well as the Galaxy Team Headquarters and your own accommodations, Jubilife Village offers a range of useful institutions and services, such as the Trading Post, where you can trade Pokémon with other players,” says the official press release.

However, the problem is that this feature will not be available for all players and to be able to trade Pokemon you will need to have a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership which costs $3,99 for one month, $7,99 for three months and $19,99 for twelve months.
