Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Request 11 Guide (The Timbre of the Fields)

gamerant.com:

Requests in Pokemon Legends: Arceus usually involve catching Pokemon, but some require completed Pokedex entries. Unlike previous mainline Pokemon games, catching a Pokemon doesn't register it to the Pokedex. In order to unlock a Pokemon's info, its Research Level needs to reach 10. This can be done by completing a series of Research Tasks, which can be viewed in the Pokedex.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus — How to Get Piplup

Request 11 has players maxing out Kricketot's Pokedex entry. Kricketot is a pure Bug-type Pokemon that's fortunately very common in the starting area of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. After starting Mission 5, players can find a young woman named Yeo at the Fieldlands Camp, who wants to learn more about Kricketot.

Once players are able to cross the bridge from Aspiration Hill to Deertrack Heights, they'll be able to catch many more Pokemon. One of these happens to be Kricketot. In order to reach Deertrack Heights, players will need to have started Mission 5, and defeated Mai's Munchlax in a Pokemon battle. Kricketot can be found hiding in the patches of grass immediately past the bridge. Like Pikachu and Eevee, Kricketot has gender differences, but it won't matter which one players end up catching first.

Since Kricketot is a skittish Pokemon, it may run away if players move too fast or engage it in battle. The easiest way to catch it is to distract it with food (like an Oran Berry) and throw a Poke Ball or Heavy Ball while it's eating.

Players have multiple ways of completing Kricketot's entry. They don't have to catch one if they don't want to but considering the final Mission of Legends: Arceus involves catching all the Pokemon in Hisui, it may be best to catch it anyway.
