There are multiple Ride Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus that allows players to traverse the environments in different ways and reach previously inaccessible areas. Basculegion can be used to surf across the water; Wyrdeer can gallop across the lands; Sneasler can be used to scale walls; Ursaluna can sniff out buried treasure, and then there's the Flying-type Pokemon Braviary that players can use to fly high in the sky. Before players can fly in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, they will need to progress reasonably far into the story, reaching Mission 12, "The Slumbering Lord of the Tundra," which occurs in the Alabaster Icelands.

After players go through a few cutscenes by following the main quest marker in Alabaster Icelands, they will eventually need to speak with Sabi, the warden of the area, on top of a large block of ice. After speaking to her, she will leave to a different area, and players just need to follow the marker until she flies over to the Snowpoint Temple. Before she gives players access to the flying Ride Pokemon, they'll need to go through the temple, solve the stone statues' puzzles, and get to the top floor.

How to Fly in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Battle with Sabi

And once players get near the top of the temple, players will have to battle against Sabi in a three-on-one Pokemon battle. She will send out a level 50 Rhyperior, a level 30 Magmortar, and a level 30 Electivire. And after this fight, another one awaits players at the top of the temple.

Since Rhyperior is the strongest on her team and can easily knock out trainers' Pokemon, they should try to defeat it first. Being Rock/Ground, Rhyperior has many weaknesses: Ground, Grass, Fighting, Steel, Ice, Water . Magmortar is weak to Water, Rock, and Ground-type moves. And last but not least, Electivire is vulnerable to Ground moves .

Battle Against Braviary

To finally get access to the Ride Pokemon, players will have to defeat Braviary in a battle. It's level 54 and is a Psychic/Flying-type Pokemon, which means it's weak to Ghost, Dark, Rock, Electric, and Ice Type moves. After Braviary is defeated, players can now call Braviary and glide through the air with him.

Braviary Flying Controls in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

To summon Braviary in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, press the (+) button. Players can use the left and right buttons on the d-pad to switch between Ride Pokemon. Also, if players jump off a cliff or accidentally fall off, they can press A in midair to summon the Pokemon. Players can take fall damage if they land on the ground from really high up, so make sure to use Braviary to avoid blacking out and losing items in the Satchel.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available for the Nintendo Switch.
