Putting Pokemon Legends: Arceus’ Nobles and Scarlet and Violet’s Titans side by side
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players have observed a number of similarities between its titans and the noble Pokemon from Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
The recently released Pokemon Scarlet and Violet differ from previous main series games in that players can choose the order in which they explore the game’s three storylines. The goal of “Path of Legends” is to get the herbs that are being guarded by five nearly mythical, very powerful Pokemon called “Titans.” The Titans, which are fought in the wild and are not controlled by a trainer, reminded many fans of the Noble Pokemon battles in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which was released earlier in 2022. While the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Titans share many similarities with the Nobles, they also have a number of significant differences.
Depending on which version of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is played, the player character attends either Naranja or Uva Academy. As part of the “Treasure Hunt” independent study at the Academy, players can hunt Titans, destroy Team Star’s bases, challenge Gym Leaders for badges, or all of the above. The “Path of Legends” plot of Titan entails teaming up with fellow student Arven to investigate rumors of super-powerful Pokemon guarding “Herba Mystica.” The size and strength of the Titans and their lack of a proper Trainer are reminiscent of the Nobles, but in Legends Arceus, they are fought in much more standard battles than their Noble counterparts.
Titans Are Wild, Powerful, and Impossible to Capture
Klawf, Bombirdier, Orthworm, a multi-stage battle against both Tatsugiri and Dodonzo, and either Great Tusk in Scarlet or Iron Treads in Violet can be found in the Paldea region. All Titans are significantly larger and more powerful than other members of their species, possibly as a result of the Herba Mystica they guard and consume. Their size and strength are undeniably reminiscent of the Noble Pokemon, who in Pokemon Legends: Arceus were kept large and powerful by the clansmen of Diamond and Pearl. They are also similar in number; Arceus had ten Noble Pokemon, but only five were fought; the other five served as the player’s Ride Pokemon, willingly offering their assistance without the need for a battle.
The most striking similarity between Noble Pokemon and Titans is that, unlike nearly all other Pokemon in the series, they cannot be captured by the player. Noble Pokemon cannot be captured due to their sanctity and significance to the Diamond and Pearl clans. While there is no rule prohibiting the capture of Titan Pokemon, each Titan flees and vanishes after being defeated, preventing the player from adding them to their team. Noble Pokemon must be evolved by the player, as they are all evolved forms of Hisuian Pokemon.
Titans, on the other hand, are generally single-stage evolutions, so smaller forms of these Pokémon can be captured in the wild. Typically, they are found close to where the Titans were fought. Great Tusk and Iron Treads, paradox versions of Phanpy’s evolved form Donphan, are exclusive to the late-game Great Crater of Paldea region.
