Legendaries

The rarest Pokémon will not come quietly. Legendaries, Mythicals, Ultra Beasts and Paradox species cannot be battled or caught until you carry the regional Pika Star for the region they call home, and even then you have to beat each one in battle before a ball will hold it. There is no single way to track them down. Some sleep inside ancient temples, some answer a summoning ritual at the altar, and many wait at their own monument until you arrive with the right key item. Others slip through Ultra Wormholes, leave faint footprints to follow, or only show themselves once you have proven your worth. The quests in this chapter walk you through every one of them, grouped by where and how they are found. Build a strong team, gather what each legend asks for, and good luck out there, trainer.

Asks for: Pika Star

Long before trainers walked these lands, great temples were raised to shelter the most powerful Pokémon of all. They still stand today, generating out in the world in the biomes that suit the legend within. There is no key or ritual to worry about here. Find the structure, fight your way to the chamber at its heart, and the Pokémon waiting inside will turn to face you. An Explorer's Compass makes the search much quicker, though plain old wandering works just as well.

Far below the surface, in the flooded dark of the Origin Cave, sleeps the beast that shaped the seas. Old sailors told of a whale that raised the oceans high over the land and drowned the world in endless rain. Make your way down into the cave and reach its heart to wake it. Bring a team that can hold its own in the water, and be ready for a storm when the ancient sea Pokémon finally stirs.

Deep in the magma halls of the Origin Tomb rests the titan that raised the continents from the sea. Its body runs with molten rock, and the ground itself shakes with every step it takes. Push through the heat to the core of the tomb to rouse it. Fire resistance and a sturdy team that can soak up heavy hits will serve you well against the land's oldest power.

At the very top of the Sky Pillar, high above the clouds, coils the guardian of the skies. It has drifted through the upper air for countless ages, feeding on meteors, and it alone can settle a quarrel between the sea and the land. Climb the pillar all the way to its peak to challenge it. The way up is long and a fall will kill you, so come prepared for both the climb and the dragon waiting at the summit.

Team Rocket carved a fortress into a live volcano and filled it with engineered legends. The monument generates out in the world, and three powerful Pokémon wait in its inner chambers. Fight your way inside and take them on. This is hardware and ambition, not ancient myth, so expect a brawl rather than a shrine.

Team Rocket's masterwork sits in the heart of the volcano - a 300 million year old fossil Pokémon rebuilt as a living weapon, with a cannon bolted to its back. Beat the machine and the bug beneath it is yours.

Locked away in the volcano is Type: Null, a synthetic chimera built to fight other legends and masked so its power stays sealed. Catch it, raise its trust, and it sheds the mask to become Silvally.

Deep in the volcano broods Volcanion, the only Pokémon that is both Fire and Water. It vents steam fierce enough to blow a mountain hollow. Corner it in the magma chambers and bring it down.

High in the floating realm of the Aether, three dungeons have been rebuilt around the Loyal Three, the retainers of an old legend. Each dungeon guards one of them, and the Pecharunt Doll turns up among Aether loot. Clear the Bronze, Silver and Gold dungeons to claim all three. You will want them together later.

The Bronze Dungeon boss is Munkidori, the sage monkey of the Loyal Three, which toys with the minds of its foes from a safe distance. Defeat the dungeon and add it to your party, since Pecharunt will want it close.

The Silver Dungeon boss is Fezandipiti, the vain bird of the Loyal Three, whose scent rallies allies and unsettles enemies. Clear the dungeon to catch it, one of the three Pecharunt demands.

The Gold Dungeon boss is Okidogi, the brawler hound of the Loyal Three, all muscle and menace. Beat the dungeon to claim it and complete the trio that answers to Pecharunt.

Some legendary Pokémon will not be found in the wild - they have to be called. The Summoning Altar is how you do it. Place a catalyst item on the altar, scatter the ritual's ingredients on the ground around it, and raise the block pattern the recipe demands. Right-click the altar to begin, then wait for the summon to finish. Each quest below lists what its ritual needs - gather the rare pieces, build the structure, and draw the legend into the world.

Asks for: Summoning Altar

Meltan is not found in the wild - it is forged. Set a Salamander Eye, a Black Laser Lens, a Red Network Cable, and finally, add a Ring Cast on the altar (it's close enough to a hexagon), and run the ritual beside a working foundry filled with molten gold and steel. The ore-eating hex-nut Pokémon condenses straight out of the molten metal. Catch one, then gather more, because a single Meltan is only the start of something far larger.

Asks for: Black Laser Lens, Red Network Cable, Salamander's Eye, Ring Cast

Six Meltan can fuse into Melmetal, the steel titan of legend. This ritual is the most demanding of them all. Lay at least 9 High Powered Heating Coils in the ground beneath the altar - they only glow once they are attached to a working foundry, so build one to power them rather than expecting a switch on the coils themselves. Set three Soul Lava Buckets on the altar to drive the heat, and a Metal Coat as the catalyst. Send out six Meltan around the altar, then trigger it - the swarm collapses into one enormous body.

Asks for: Soul Lava Bucket, Metal Coat, High Powered Heating Coil

Terapagos lies dormant as a crystal, the wellspring of the Terastal phenomenon itself. Set a Life Orb on the altar and offer the four colored hearts - blue, yellow, red, and green - taken from the world's mightiest foes. Raise the crystal frame the ritual calls for and begin. The Stellar Pokémon uncurls from its shell and takes form.

Asks for: Terapagos Crystal, Miniature Blue Heart, Miniature Green Heart, Miniature Red Heart, Miniature Yellow Heart, Life Orb

Across the world stand Legendary Monuments - ancient pedestals, temples, and shrines, each raised to call a single legendary Pokémon. Find the monument, bring the key item it demands, and activate the pedestal to summon its guardian. Each quest below names the structure and the item you need. A Medallion of Renewal will reset a spent pedestal if you want another attempt.

Heatran dwells in the magma, a beast of molten steel that crawls across cavern walls and ceilings on cross-shaped feet. Descend into the Heatran Cave and carry a Magma Stone to wake it. Be ready for a brawl in the heat - this is one of the few Pokémon that calls the inside of a volcano home.

Asks for: Magma Stone

Mew is the ancestor of every Pokémon, said to carry the DNA of all species within its tiny body. It hides on a remote island far out to sea.

Zekrom is the black dragon of ideals, its tail a vast generator that crackles with raw thunder. It sleeps within the Dragonspiral Tower as a Dark Stone.

Asks for: Electric Gem, Dark Stone

Kyurem is what is left when truth and ideals are torn away - a hollow dragon of ice, forever hunting the parts of itself it lost. Find it in the frozen Kyurem Cave. You must bring both the Truth Bottle and the Ideals Bottle, gathered from Reshiram and Zekrom, before the empty dragon will face you.

First, set an Ancient DNA Sample on the altar with a Plutonium Pellet, lay a 3x3 platform of Magnets beneath it, and run the ritual in the Ether River of Eternal Starlight - but only while a meteor shower falls and you wear four MekaSuit pieces fitted with Radiation Shielding Units. The sky answers, and a Deoxys Crystal drops into the world. The crystal is dormant. Seek out the Birth Island and loose the crystal above its Deoxys Base - it will flit across the meteorite floor, and you must chase it down and strike it time after time until it blazes at full charge and settles, lit, upon the base. With the crystal lit, raise the final rite around that very base: a ring of Arcane Crystal Obelisks and a pair of Source Jars each filled to the brim, 10,000 source apiece. Then cast the Deoxys Meteorite onto the altar alongside the four weights that mirror its formes - the Power Bracer, Power Belt, Power Anklet and Power Weight - and perform the ritual.
