Kalosan goomy and unovan rufflet to hisuian forms

So I’m replaying legends arceus as the female character and I’m curious on something. If I sent in a kalosan goomy and unovan rufflet to legends, would they evolve to their hisuian forms. Oh and I have an alolan rowlet and johtonian cyndaquil in the game as well. Would they evolve to their hisuian forms. Thanks in advance for the help

Edit - I realised my rowlet is the special one you get from Pokemon home. The one that has all stats maxed out at 10 in the game.

How was I supposed to figure this out

I was racking my head around Seaside Hollow since it’s evident that the Pokémon the professor talked about should be there and this is what I found. Is there any ingame dialogue that hints towards doing this?

some of these tasks are brutal

who green lit these stupid tasks caught without being spotted in water is the worst and its almost like all water mons have it too.

first you ganna need alot of smokes and stealth sprays so gatta farm up a bunch of mats for that

a bunch of food because apparently there nosses are broken in the water

then on top of that half of them are like so tiny that the ball hits water 82 percent of the time.

then lets talk about hoping out of trees ive seen 2 cherubis hop out of trees its been all cherrims so you add hop out of tree with munchlax spawn rate great

whats some of the ones ya hate?

Sh#ny question

Is it possible for a regular pokemon to turn into a sh#ny? I've been trying to get an Eevee and wondered if it's possible for me to just camp a pokemon by staying around it and, if over time it'll turn into a sh#ny

I've done mass outbreaks and distortions and flying around everywhere but I just can't find any

Tips for hunting a sh*ny spiritomb

I’ve tried the rest method and the massive mass outbreak method countless times for the last few days. Any tips would be appreciated.

Mass outbreaks

Serebii has a list of which Pokemon can spawn in which areas but they don’t list which ones are rare. Is there a graphic anywhere that shows these which these are I want to know which ones to always look for.

I know obviously spiritomb, unknown, hisuian forms, tree/ore spawns, and distortion spawns but I was hoping there was something that lays it out to see easily.

Also does the (invisible) timer for how long the outbreaks last get paused while you are in a menu like the Pokédex/map/bag

Mass Outbreaks

So I’ve started a while back now, only just finished the game ( seen the credit screen ) and was trying to look for mass outbreaks or better massive outbreaks but it’s like when I look for it, it doesn’t appear. I can’t find the Mai person in the first area, the place next to the dude I’m talking too or the town hall thingy. I’m so confused

Something I just noticed

I was looking for the festival picture at the end of the game and found a picture of it which confused me. the two player characters on the right side of the screen change depending on if You played as Rei or Akari. (I played as Akari in this playthrough)

If you played as Rei, the character whose back is turned to the camera is Rei. If you played as Akari, the character with their back turned to the camera is Akari. I did not realise this until just now. k don’t know if other people knew of this but I certainly didn’t. I’ve played legends arceus before, too. I played as Rei the first time I played, which was a Year ago now so I understandably wouldn’t have remembered such a specific detail. This is probably one of my favourite small details in Pokémon Legends Arceus.

Guys, this Bronzor looks weird...

Why did I have to find three funny tablets to fight a chonky Bronzor? And why was there a legendary-tier Gallade nearby, that's not even a Bronzor!

(For legal reasons and so I don't get banned this is /j)

About Darkrai

I've been trying to get the Darkrai quest to activate but I'm confused, I played through the start of Shining Pearl and saved. I then came back into Legends Arceus and it didn't activate? Did I mess up by not having any save data before I hit post-game or do I need to complete the story of Shining Pearl first?

Completing the 'dex

In order to complete the dex, do I only have to catch one of each, or do I have to reach research level 10 for all 'mons?
