[[File:LA Noble Pokémon challenge.png|thumb|right|300px|Quelling a noble Pokémon]]
'''Noble Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''キング・クイーン''' ''Kings and Queens'') are a select group of Pokémon in the [[Hisui]] [[region]] who are descendants of five of the ten companions of the ancient hero of legend, blessed by [[Arceus]]. 

==History==
Inheriting the duties of protecting the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s, noble Pokémon have the distinct "Lord" and "Lady" titles. There are a total of five noble Pokémon who, along with the five Ride Pokémon, are cared for under a [[warden]] of the Diamond or Pearl Clan. These Pokémon are often [[Giant Pokémon|larger than their standard counterparts]], and they may even be larger than [[alpha Pokémon]]. In addition, noble Pokémon cannot be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]].

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the five noble Pokémon have become frenzied due to a special energy from the [[Space-Time Distortion|space-time rift]]. To quell a noble Pokémon, the [[player character]] must throw balms made of the noble's favorite food until its frenzy gauge reaches zero. After being quelled, each noble Pokémon will grant the player the [[plate]] corresponding to its primary type.

In the post-game, the player can have a rematch against the nobles at their respective arenas by talking to the warden. The challenges will be identical, except the noble Pokémon will all be at Lv. 70 with full [[effort level]]s, and the player is timed for personal records.

==Quelling==
All frenzied nobles will launch attacks against the player in a specific sequence. The nobles can all be stunned at some point during their fight by exploiting gaps in their attack patterns, and at this time the player can throw their Pokémon at it to initiate a normal Pokémon {{pkmn|battle}}. The way the player can stun a noble varies between each specific noble. After being defeated in battle, the noble will become stunned for several more seconds, during which its frenzy gauge will deplete faster from balms, before reinitiating a new sequence of attacks. 

During their respective {{DL|Task|Missions}}, all noble Pokémon have zero [[effort level]]s. During rematches, all noble Pokémon will be at Lv. 70 with the maximum ten effort levels in each stat.

===Lord of the Woods: Kleavor===
Lord Kleavor is fought in [[Grandtree Arena]], and must be quelled using [[Forest Balm]]s.

Lord Kleavor primarily attacks by charging a short distance in a straight line, towards the player; this is telegraphed by his eyes flashing. If the player lures Kleavor into running into the Grandtree or the stone walls of the arena, he will then become stunned, allowing the player to send out a Pokémon to battle. Less frequently, Kleavor will attempt to attack the player by swinging his axes around in a circle, which will be telegraphed by a large whirlwind appearing around Kleavor that designates the attack's area of effect.

Once Kleavor's frenzy gauge is half-depleted, both of Kleavor's attacks will have their windup times reduced. His attack pattern is otherwise identical to its first phase.

In the post-game, the player can initiate a rematch with Lord Kleavor by speaking to [[Lian]] at Grandtree Arena. Upon winning a rematch, the player will receive three [[Exp. Candy M|Exp. Candies M]] and, if the player received no damage, one [[Exp. Candy L]].

===Lady of the Ridge: Lilligant===
Lady Lilligant is fought in [[Brava Arena]], and must be quelled using [[Marsh Balm]]s.

Lady Lilligant attacks primarily by jumping into the air and producing shockwaves when she lands. The number of jumps she will make can be estimated by the number and color of the musical notes produced before she jumps. After evading her attacks long enough, she will jump four times in a row and become stunned at the end of the last jump, allowing her to be fought with the player's Pokemon. 

Once Lady Lilligant's frenzy gauge is half-depleted, she periodically  performs a spinning strike after she lands from a jump, producing a larger green shockwave. The shockwave then expands to cover the whole arena, forcing the player to dodge through the shockwave as it spreads to avoid damage. This can be chained with her regular jumps as well. 

In the post-game, the player can initiate a rematch with Lady Lilligant by speaking to [[Calaba]] at Brava Arena. Upon winning a rematch, the player will receive three [[Exp. Candy M|Exp. Candies M]] and, if no damage was received, one [[Exp. Candy L]].

===Lord of the Isles: Arcanine===
Lord Arcanine is fought in [[Molten Arena]], and must be quelled using [[Volcano Balm]]s.

Lord Arcanine primarily attacks by charging across the arena in a straight line towards the player; like with Lord Kleavor, his eyes will flash right before he charges. During this sequence, Arcanine will also leap to the center of the stage, before charging across the arena again. Arcanine will then create five fireballs above him, signaling a large explosion that cannot be dodged. The player can cancel this attack by hitting him with balms, causing the fireballs to disappear. Arcanine will then become stunned, allowing the player to send out a Pokémon to battle.

Once Arcanine's frenzy gauge is half-depleted, Arcanine will also leave behind a large field of flames upon leaping to the center of the arena, effectively trapping the player in a corner of the arena. The flames will not disappear until the player stuns Arcanine again. His attack pattern is otherwise identical to its first phase.

In the post-game, the player can initiate a rematch with Lord Arcanine by speaking to [[Palina]] at Molten Arena. Upon winning a rematch, the player will receive three [[Exp. Candy M|Exp. Candies M]] and, if no damage was taken, one [[Exp. Candy L]].

===Lord of the Hollow: Electrode===
Lord Electrode is fought in [[Moonview Arena]], and must be quelled using [[Mountain Balm]]s.

Lord Electrode will initially attack by launching homing {{m|Thunderbolt}}s and summoning [[Regional form|Hisuian]] {{p|Voltorb}} to haphazardly fall from the trees and explode, alternating between these attacks. After a few waves, it will leap to the player and begin glowing bright white, ready to {{m|Self-Destruct}}. It will follow the player for several seconds before finally exploding and stunning itself. During this time, the player can send out a Pokémon to battle. Afterwards, Electrode will reinitiate the same attack sequence.

Once Electrode's frenzy gauge is half-depleted, it will begin to launch honing {{m|Energy Ball}}s, in addition to the Thunderbolts, that move slightly faster. Its attack pattern is otherwise identical to its first phase.

In the post-game, the player can initiate a rematch with Lord Electrode by speaking to [[Melli]] at Moonview Arena. Upon winning a rematch, the player will receive four [[Exp. Candy M|Exp. Candies M]] and, if the player received no damage, three [[Grit Pebble]]s.

===Lord of the Tundra: Avalugg===
Lord Avalugg is fought in [[Icepeak Arena]], and must be quelled using [[Snow Balm]]s.

Lord Avalugg begins by launching zigzagging volleys of {{m|Ice Ball}}s at the player. Then he will create rows of large icicles sticking up from the ground, which start from the front and end at the back of the arena. Next, he will launch four successive {{m|Mountain Gale}} attacks towards the player. And finally, he will fire a large {{m|Ice Beam}} while panning across the arena. Lord Avalugg will become stunned after this attack, and the player can send out a Pokémon to battle. Afterwards, Avalugg will repeat the same sequence of attacks.

Once Lord Avalugg's frenzy gauge is half-depleted, the attack sequence becomes more aggressive. While launching the ice ball volleys, Lord Avalugg will also cause icicle to appear from the ground, limiting the player's movement. The large icicle rows from the ground now form side-to-side across the stage, and then briefly leave behind ice spikes on the ground. The Mountain Gale attack now fires six times and more rapidly. And before the final Ice Beam attack, Lord Avalugg will create three more icicles from the ground that leave behind ice spikes, making it harder to dodge the attack.

Upon winning a rematch, the player will receive four [[Exp. Candy M|Exp. Candies M]] and, if the player received no damage, three [[Grit Pebble]]s.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Kleavor}} is the only noble Pokémon who is a new [[evolution]] of a previously existing {{p|Scyther|Pokémon}}. The rest are Pokémon with [[regional form]]s.
* Statues of all of the noble Pokémon and ridable Pokémon, created by the original inhabitants of Hisui, can be found at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. However, these statues are destroyed during the climax of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], along with the temple's roof and pillars.
* Lilligant is the only Noble with the title of "Lady" due to her being the only female Noble.
* {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}} in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are fought similarly to how noble Pokémon are fought, including usage of Balms.
* Electrode is the only noble Pokémon to summon other Pokémon during its fight, namely {{p|Voltorb}}. Which is similar to [[Totem Pokémon]].
** It is also the only gender unknown noble Pokémon. Despite this, however, it uses the male title "Lord".
