How to Get Merit Points in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Pokemon Legends: Arceus expands a lot of the mechanics seen in previous entries in the series, including the currency system. While Pokedollars are back, and function in the same way they always did, the new entry in the series features a new currency, Merit Points.

Here’s how to get Merit Points and what you can get by exchanging them.

How to Get Merit Points in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Merit Points in Pokemon Legends: Arceus can be earned by finding lost satchels and returning them with the Lost and Found option, which can be found in the Internet Connection menu. These lost satchels are satchels dropped by other players, so returning them not only makes you earn Merit Points, but also helps other fellow players in need. To discover lost satchels in your vicinity, you only need to open your map and locate the white square icons that indicate the location of a satchel, a very welcome feature that makes farming Merit Points quite easy.

Depending on the satchel that has been recovered, you can get between 50 and 10 Merit Points, which can be exchanged at the Jubilife Village’s Trading Post for a variety of rare items, including evolution stones. Who ever said that helping others never paid off?
