Request 45: Shellos of the East and West

Complete Request 45: Shellos of the East and West in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Find both forms in Cobalt Coastlands and Crimson Mirelands.

Request 45, "Shellos of the East and West," is a fascinating request that delves into the regional variations of a single Pokémon species. You'll need to find and capture both forms of Shellos to complete this task for a researcher.

This request is given by a researcher in Jubilife Village who is studying the phenomenon of regional forms. He is particularly interested in Shellos, which exhibits different appearances depending on its origin. He asks you to bring him one Shellos from the East Sea and one from the West Sea. These refer to the two distinct forms of Shellos found in Hisui.

To find the two different forms of Shellos, you'll need to explore different regions. The West Sea Shellos, which has a pink body with white stripes, can be found in the Cobalt Coastlands. Look for them along the shores and in the shallow waters of areas like the Sand's Reach or near the Crossing Currents. The East Sea Shellos, which has a blue body with white stripes, is found in the Crimson Mirelands. Specifically, you can find them in the Gapejaw Bog and around the Cloudburst Countryside.

Once you have located both forms, you need to capture them. Be prepared for battles, as Shellos can be a bit elusive. They are generally found in water, so having Pokémon that can attack from a distance or are strong against Water-types can be helpful. After successfully capturing one of each form, return to the researcher in Jubilife Village.

Present both the East Sea and West Sea Shellos to the researcher. He will be thrilled to have specimens of both forms and will express his gratitude for your efforts in collecting them. As a reward for completing this request, you will typically receive Shellos Pellets, which are useful crafting materials, and an increase in your Friendship Level. This request is an excellent way to learn about Pokémon diversity and to explore different areas of Hisui.
