Request 8: Bothersome Bidoof - Guide

Request 8, "Bothersome Bidoof," is one of the early side quests you'll encounter in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, offering a lighthearted challenge that helps you familiarize yourself with the game's mechanics. This request involves dealing with a group of mischievous Bidoof that are causing trouble for a villager.

In "Bothersome Bidoof," you'll be tasked with locating and dealing with a specific number of Bidoof that have become a nuisance. This request is a great opportunity to practice your catching skills and explore a familiar area of Hisui while earning some useful rewards.

Request Giver:

This request is given by Choy, who can be found in the village of Jubilife Village. He's usually near the crafting area or the general store.

Request Details:

Choy is having trouble with a group of Bidoof that have been raiding his supplies and generally causing a ruckus. He wants you to find and deal with them. The request specifies that you need to find and defeat or catch a certain number of Bidoof.

Objectives:

1. Find and defeat or catch 3 Bidoof.

Location:

The Bidoof you need to deal with can be found in the Obsidian Fieldlands. Specifically, they tend to congregate near the Worn Bridge area, which is relatively close to Jubilife Village. You can also find Bidoof in other parts of the Obsidian Fieldlands, but the Worn Bridge is a reliable spot.

Strategy for Completion:

1. Travel to the Obsidian Fieldlands:

Head out from Jubilife Village into the Obsidian Fieldlands. Make your way towards the Worn Bridge area.

2. Locate the Bidoof:

As you approach the Worn Bridge, you should see several Bidoof wandering around. They are relatively common and easy to spot with their distinctive beaver-like appearance.

3. Dealing with the Bidoof:

You have two options for dealing with each Bidoof:

• Catching: You can engage them in battle and then attempt to catch them using Poké Balls. This is a good way to add Bidoof to your team or to complete your Pokédex entries for them.
• Defeating: You can also simply defeat them in battle. This will count towards Choy's request.

Tips for Catching/Defeating:

• Stealth: Bidoof are not particularly aggressive, but using stealth can help you get closer for an easier throw or to initiate a battle on your terms.
• Poké Balls: Standard Poké Balls are usually sufficient for Bidoof, as they are low-level Pokémon.
• Team Composition: Any Pokémon can effectively defeat Bidoof. Consider using a Pokémon that you want to gain experience with.

4. Return to Choy:

Once you have successfully dealt with three Bidoof (either by catching or defeating them), return to Choy in Jubilife Village. He will be relieved and thank you for your help.

Rewards:

Upon completion of Request 8, Choy will reward you with:

• 3 Poké Balls
• 3 Potions

This request is a straightforward way to earn some early-game items and practice your skills. It's a good example of the many small, helpful requests that populate Hisui.
