So, you’re itching to embark on “The Clefairy’s Moonlit Dance” in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

This is where requests are posted, and upon your return, Request 67 should become available.

Delving Deeper: The Clefairy Connection

While the core requirement is catching a Clefairy, there are a few nuances that players sometimes overlook. This guide delves into the specifics, providing tips and tricks to smooth your path to this enchanting quest. We’ll address common issues players face and provide detailed solutions to ensure you’re dancing under the moonlight with Clefairy in no time.

Step-by-Step: Securing Your Clefairy

1. Locating Clefairy: Clefairy are found most commonly in the Coronet Highlands, specifically around the Fairy Steps. They tend to appear at night. You may encounter them during daytime, but their spawn rates are significantly higher when the stars are out.

2. Approach with Stealth: Clefairy are timid Pokémon. Approach them cautiously using stealth. Tall grass and crouching can be your best friends. Consider using items like Smoke Bombs to further conceal your presence.

3. Strategic Battle Start: Try to initiate a battle by throwing a back strike with a Poké Ball or, even better, a Great Ball or Ultra Ball. A back strike increases your chances of catching the Pokémon right away, potentially bypassing the battle entirely.

4. Battle Tactics (If Necessary): If you end up in a battle, use Bug, Fighting, or Dark-type moves to quickly weaken the Clefairy without knocking it out. Avoid using super-effective moves that might accidentally cause a knockout.

5. Poké Ball Selection: Standard Poké Balls work, but Great Balls and Ultra Balls offer a much higher catch rate, especially if the Clefairy is at a higher level or has already been weakened. Heavy Balls are also a good choice for backstrikes due to their increased catching power on unsuspecting targets.

Back to Jubilife: Claiming Your Reward (Request 67)

Once you have a Clefairy safely in your party (or in a pasture via the Pasture system), return to Jubilife Village. Head straight to Professor Laventon’s office within the Galaxy Hall. Interact with the blackboard to see if Request 67 has appeared. It should now be available for you to accept.

Accepting Request 67: The Moonlit Dance Begins

Accepting the request will officially kick off “The Clefairy’s Moonlit Dance.” You’ll be directed to speak with a specific NPC who will provide further instructions, ultimately leading you to witness a special event involving Clefairy under the moonlight. No spoilers here, but trust me, it’s worth the effort! You will be on your way to better understand the relationship between people and pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are some common questions players have when trying to unlock and complete Request 67 in Pokémon Legends: Arceus:

1. I’ve caught a Clefairy, but Request 67 isn’t showing up. What’s wrong?

   Double-check that you actually caught the Clefairy and that it’s registered in your Pokédex. Also, make absolutely certain you’re checking the correct blackboard in Professor Laventon’s office. Sometimes, players mistake it for another board in the Galaxy Hall. If still not appearing, try advancing the main story just a bit further, although catching the Clefairy is usually the direct trigger.

2. Is there a specific time of day I need to check the blackboard?

   No, the time of day in the game does not affect whether Request 67 appears on the blackboard, assuming you’ve met the prerequisite of catching a Clefairy.

3. Do I need to complete other Requests before Request 67?

   No, catching a Clefairy is the only known requirement to unlock Request 67. You do not need to complete any other side quests beforehand.

4. Can I release the Clefairy after accepting Request 67?

   Yes, once you’ve accepted the request, you are free to release the Clefairy if you wish. The game only checks for its existence at the time of unlocking the request.

5. What level should my Clefairy be?

   The level of your Clefairy doesn’t matter for unlocking the request. Any Clefairy you catch will work, regardless of its level.

6. Are there any alternative locations to find Clefairy besides the Coronet Highlands?

   While the Coronet Highlands (Fairy Steps) are the most reliable location, Clefairy can occasionally spawn in space-time distortions within the Coronet Highlands as well. However, relying on distortions is less efficient for specifically trying to catch a Clefairy for this quest.

7. What rewards do I get for completing Request 67?

   Completing Request 67 rewards you with items like Star Pieces and increases your friendship with certain NPCs. The exact rewards can vary slightly.

8. Is Request 67 missable?

   No, Request 67 is not missable as long as you progress through the main story and eventually catch a Clefairy. Once the prerequisites are met, the request will always become available.

9. I accidentally knocked out the Clefairy. Will it respawn?

   Yes, wild Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus will respawn after a certain amount of time. You can either wait in the area, return to Jubilife Village and then come back, or advance the time of day by resting at a camp.

10. Can I use a Shiny Clefairy to unlock the request?

    Yes, a Shiny Clefairy works just as well as a regular Clefairy for unlocking Request 67.

11. Do I need to register Clefairy in the Pokedex?

    Registering the Clefairy in the Pokedex is the same as catching it and it being registered as a caught pokemon. If it is in your party, then it has been registered.

12. I’m still having trouble finding Clefairy. Any further tips?

    Use the in-game map to mark the Fairy Steps location. Set a camp nearby so you can easily rest until nighttime. Fly around on Braviary to quickly scan the area for Clefairy spawns.

13. Does completing Request 67 unlock any other Requests?

    Completing Request 67 doesn’t directly unlock a specific, immediately obvious quest. However, completing Requests in general, will help in building up your star rank and unlocks areas needed for completing the rest of the main quests.

14. Do I need to finish the main story to get Request 67?

    Request 67 does not require that you finish the main story, but it does require that you at least progress to the point that you have access to the Coronet Highlands, since this is the only place to catch the Clefairy.

15. Can I use a Clefable to unlock the request instead of a Clefairy?

    No, it has to be Clefairy, the pre-evolution. It specifically mentions needing Clefairy and not its evolved form, Clefable. You need to go to where Clefairy spawns.
