Can you ride in Arceus?
Yes, you can ride Pokémon in Arceus, which is quite useful given that Arceus ditches the typically constrained paths seen in other Pokémon titles and replaces them with large zones that you will need to traverse multiple times in order to complete objectives and, yes, eventually catch them all. The game allows players to mount and ride certain Pokémon, such as Wyrdeer, boosting on-foot exploration and improving the bike mechanic of past games.
