By

This is a guide for Request 19: A Peculiar "Ponyta" IconPonyta, in Pokémon Legends "Arceus" IconArceus (PLA). At the end of the request, you can catch a shiny "Ponyta" IconPonyta!

How to Pick Up Request 19: A Peculiar Ponyta

The A Peculiar "Ponyta" IconPonyta request will appear on the blackboard in Professor Laventon’s study on the ground floor of the Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village.

You’ll need to have caught a normal "Ponyta" IconPonyta first. These can be found in the Obsidian Fieldlands, notably near Horseshoe Plains. Also, you may need to get "Ponyta" IconPonyta’s Research Level to 10.

(1 of 2) Yota can be found on the north-western bridge.

After learning the request, head for the bridge near the north-west of Jubilife Village, south from the Move Tutor. Speak to Yota and he’ll explain the details. Basically, he wants you to investigate a strange "Ponyta" IconPonyta (spoiler: it’s shiny) at the Horseshoe Plains.

Where to Find the Shiny Ponyta

Without further ado, head for the center of Horseshoe Plains at the Obsidian Fieldlands. For an easy time, set this request as your active target from the map (by pressing the Y button and switching to the Requests tab). A quest marker will appear to guide you to the exact location.

(1 of 4) First, head for the center of Horseshoe Plains.

Once you reach the destination, a short cutscene will play, where your character spots a shiny "Ponyta" IconPonyta. When you’re in control, carefully approach the "Ponyta" IconPonyta. There will be a body of water between you. What you can do is distract it with an Oran Berry etc., then sneak behind it and throw a Poké Ball.

After catching the shiny "Ponyta" IconPonyta, you can report back to Yota who’s waiting at the same place, whenever you feel like it.

A Peculiar Ponyta Reward

(1 of 2) Yota will give you some Razz Berries.

As thanks, you’ll receive 5 Razz Berries. More importantly, you can keep the shiny "Ponyta" IconPonyta and use it in your party if you desire.
