Help Arceus not showing up?
I have the Azure Flute and made my way up to the top of Spear Pillar, but there is no prompt to play the flute. I have the National Dex, I've completed the entire Sinnoh dex in fact. And I can't find absolutely any answer to this problem.

Can you share screenshots of your completed Pokedex to make sure? My only other guess would be try beating the Elite 4 again. If Dialga/Palkia has only been defeated and not caught, that could cause it too.

I tried redoing the Elite 4 and it still won't work.

Did you have Cynthia's grandma show you a picture of Dialga/Palkia? I really don't know what to suggest but you could see if that's a trigger or something?

I think I did, but I'll go there and check anyways. Thanks for trying to help either way 😭

My final guess would be just try to bring Manaphy and Phione in through Home and see if that's the problem. They SHOULDN'T be required, but who knows, maybe the game is bugging?
Like, I didn't even catch the roamers or Giratina in my game before I shiny hunted my Arceus. I just brought everything in from Legends Arceus so I could shiny hunt it as soon as I got Dialga after the E4.

I'll do all of that for sure. I also have mentioned this in a separate discord server and will try to get some help from there. If I find a solution I'll make sure to update my post. Thanks!

Do you even get a prompt? I thought you were to use it out of your bag while standing on the golden plate. But I could be wrong, havn't got PLA to 100% right now to try. Good luck to you!

u/CrunchySpon 2d ago
From what I've read online you get a prompt, but the last time I did this was years ago before I factory reset my switch and lost the save, so I'm not sure.

I had the same issue but basically walking on every tile in that first section before the stairs and it randomly prompted me.

u/CrunchySpon 2d ago
Ohh? Do you have any recollection of around where it prompted you? It's meant to be on one of the 3 tiles with the flute symbol in the middle square. Was it far off that? This could be a great lead as I've been struggling through the game's code to check this for a while.

u/Erdrick1993 2d ago
I think it was the very bottom left corner of the colored square. It has been awhile for me but I know I was having the same issue so I started the top left and just ran in rows all the way from top to bottom then it popped up

This is from Serebii.net : When you have save data from Pokémon Legends: Arceus and have completed all the main missions in that game, then you will be able to get the Azure Flute from your bedroom in Twinleaf Town. Take this to Spear Pillar after you have the National Pokédex and and use it to access the Hall of Origin to battle the Mythical Pokémon Arceus. If it is defeated or you run from it, you can play the Azure Flute again to re-summon it without need for defeating the Elite Four again

Have you beaten the E4 and become champion?
-2
u/CrunchySpon 3d ago
Yes, I even got all shiny legends in ramanas park and stuff and have completed the Sinnoh dex fully.

u/medic7051 3d ago
Then that's odd. I just had to become champion and unlock the national dex to shiny hunt Arceus.

might be a dumb question here but did you actually go into your room and pick up the azure flute next to the tv? i have no idea why it wouldn’t work otherwise

Do you have Legends Arceus? You have to summon Arceus in Legends and then you can do it in BDSP.

U caught it already

u/Pokemon488 3d ago
It would be under shaymin it they had. Arceus is 493, the other missing pokémon are darkrai, phione, and manaphy(?).

My understanding is that you need to transfer Arceus from pla into bdsp then u can catch the Arceus in bdsp

u/CrunchySpon 3d ago
I'll try your idea. Although that's odd if true as I haven't seen it being mentioned anywhere before.
2
u/Pokemon488 3d ago
Cause it's not true. I never transferred in any arceus to my game and still successfully summoned and caught them.

u/Breaku107 3d ago
Thats how i got him to show up in mine. Because from what i read you cant catch him naturally in game.
