Surfing has existed in Pokemon games for quite some time, but unlike the other games, surf in Arceus relies on mountable Pokemon that need to unlock via the main story. There is a point in the story where you will unlock the surf Pokemons. To unlock surf in Pokemon Legends Arceus, you need to get to the third area in the game and complete a main mission. Here is how to unlock Surf in Pokemon Legends Arceus.
How to Unlock Surf in Pokemon Legends Arceus
To unlock surf or get the surf or mountable water Pokemon, you need to progress through the game’s story and be in the third area, which is the Cobalt Coastlands. In this area, there is a Pokemon called Basculegion, which is a mountable Pokemon and will take you across the water. But, unlike the Pokemon you find in the wild, you cannot catch the Basculegion.
When you get to the Cobalt Coastlands, simply follow through the missions, and eventually you will end up on a mission that requires you to catch Dusclops. The task is meant for a recipe, which can appease the Basculegion.
So, that it once you have completed this story mission, you will be able to obtain the mount and use it throughout the game whenever you are in a water body.
