While it might be hard for some to believe, Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been out now for almost a month. As the newest installment in the Pokemon series, the game introduces players to several new features not seen in previous entries. Among the new mechanics is the ability to ride Pokemon. This feature is a big deal as it makes traversal around the Hisui region easier and more enjoyable. While there are several ridable Pokemon, one of the more intriguing is the fish-like Basculegion.
