Game Freak, DexertoAux Powers are a great way of giving your squad some stat boosts in Pokemon Legends Arceus, but what exactly are they? And what crafting materials do you need to get one?
Pokemon Legends Arceus has given the classic Nintendo series a Breath of the Wild-esque overhaul, allowing players to adventure through the harsh plains of the Hisui region in search of some of the franchise’s most iconic ‘mon.
One of the newest features to be added to the game is the crafting mechanism, which allows players to combine different ingredients to make one particularly powerful item. While we’ve seen plenty of this across the MMORPG genre, and many other open-world games, this is a new skill for Pokemon trainers to master.
Some of the craftable items include Aux Powers, a new yet somewhat familiar item. So, here’s everything you need to know about Aux Powers in Pokemon Legends Arceus – from what they do to their individual crafting recipes.
