Pokémon Legends: Arceus has gone out of its way to inject tons of new ideas, systems, and improvements into the Pokémon franchise. The most obvious will be the new structure the game has – a series of fully explorable 3D environments – and the fact that battles take place dynamically in the world as opposed to a completely isolated instance. However, the game also introduces some new RPG mechanics and systems, but still the game doesn’t explain all that much despite being incredibly useful.
Pokémon games have always had a currency in the form of PokéDollars, which the player could use to purchase necessary items in shops. These range from basic healing items like potions to basic items like Pokéballs. That remains true for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, but with the addition of not only new items to buy, but also other forms of currency that you need to buy them. A prime example is Merit Points, which can be exchanged for some of the most useful items in the game. If you’ve never encountered this new form of purchasing power, we’ll tell you how to get Merit points and what you can spend them on, in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

What are Merit Points?
You can think of Merit Points as a secondary form of currency in the Pokémon Legends: Arceus in addition to your regular PokéDollars. These special points can be exchanged for a whole range of items, some of which are very rare and useful. However, unlike Pokédollars, you can’t collect Merit Points as easily. There’s only one way to get them, and it requires you to take on an entirely new quest that the game doesn’t give you much detail about.
How to get Merit points
To start collecting Merit points in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you will participate in a special online game feature called Lost and Found. This mode also works offline, so if you don’t have an internet connection, it’s still possible to finish and start earning merit points.
Step 1: Open your map while on the field and look for bag icons around the map. These are lost bags dropped by other players, or NPCs if you’re offline, that have dropped out in the world.

Step 2: Find this bag and pick it up to send any lost gear back to the trainer who dropped it. You simply need to interact with the bag to automatically send it back to the trainer who lost it.

Step 3: Just finding your lost bag will not automatically reward you with Merit points. To claim your reward you will need to go to your menu and select Lost found under Communications card, select the bag you returned and claim rewards.
One bag usually gets you between 50 and 100 Merit points.
