Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> is ripe with Pok\u00e9mon waiting to be caught, and perhaps none are more sought after than the Legendaries. These incredibly rare beasts are hard to find and even harder to capture, but that\u2019s what makes players want them so badly.\u00a0Right?<\/p>

While Legendary Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> can\u2019t be put into Gyms in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> (understandable, they\u2019re quite overpowered), they\u2019re all absolute must-haves for collectors and have been since the first Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>game was released in 1996.<\/p>

Here\u2019s your guide to tracking down the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> and everything you need to know so that you can catch them.\u00a0<\/p><\/iframe>

Although we\u2019re working towards a time when all of the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon will be available to catch in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em>, many still have yet to make their debut.

      How to catch Legendary Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/h2>
      \"The
      Image by Destructoid<\/figcaption><\/figure>

      If you\u2019re just starting with your Legendary Pok\u00e9mon collection, the ideal first targets are the Galarian forms of the Legendary Birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres). These three Pok\u00e9mon are always available to find in the wild, but only after using your Daily Adventure Incense. <\/p>

      Sadly, they have a high flee rate and are damn near impossible to catch. As with all Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, it\u2019s a good idea to focus on landing Excellent Throws and Curve Balls while using any Premier Balls you happen to have to increase your catch potential.\u00a0<\/p>

      Outside of those three, the Lake Guardian Trio (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf) can appear in the wild at any time. However, which one you\u2019ll be able to find depends on where you live in the world, as each of them is region-locked:<\/p>

      • Uxie<\/strong> – Asia-Pacific region<\/li>
      • Mesprit <\/strong>– Europe, Middle East, Africa, India<\/li>
      • Azelf <\/strong>– North America, South America, Greenland<\/li> <\/ul>

        If you\u2019re hunting for the other Legendaries, there are a few different ways to go about finding them. <\/p>

        Raid Battles<\/h3>

        Your best bet to get a Legendary in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> is through 5-star Raid Battles, which take place regularly at Gyms. These are tough battles, and you\u2019ll need to team up with at least four or give other trainers if you want to stand a chance of winning. <\/p>

        If you do beat a Legendary, you\u2019ll be rewarded with a few Premier Balls that can then be used to catch the beast. However, the catch rate for Legendaries is abysmally low (2%, as a general rule), so there\u2019s a high likelihood that you won\u2019t catch the Pok\u00e9mon even if you do win the battle.\u00a0<\/p>

        The Legendary Pok\u00e9mon available to fight and catch in Raid Battles change regularly, so there\u2019s always a chance to try again for a Pok\u00e9mon that escaped your capture previously. <\/p>

        Timed Research<\/h3>

        It\u2019s always worth keeping an eye on Timed Research during events because Legendary Pok\u00e9mon sometimes feature as rewards. This is by no means guaranteed and hard to predict, but it\u2019s something to look out for with every event.\u00a0<\/p>

        GO Battle League<\/h3>

        Once you reach Rank 20 of the GO Battle League, any Legendary Pok\u00e9mon that are currently available from Raid Battles will be added to the pool of possible rewards. This is a bit hit-and-miss, but worth striving for. <\/p>

        Defeat Giovanni<\/h3>

        Taking on Giovanni is possibly the best way to get some Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, at least in Shadow form. Once you\u2019ve defeated the Team GO Rocket boss, you\u2019ll have a Shadow Legendary encounter with a 100% catch rate.  <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

These incredibly rare beasts are hard to find and even harder to capture, but that\u2019s what makes players want them so badly.\u00a0Right? While Legendary Pok\u00e9mon can\u2019t be put into Gyms in Pok\u00e9mon GO (understandable, they\u2019re quite overpowered), they\u2019re all absolute must-haves for collectors and have been since the first Pok\u00e9mon game was released in 1996. Here\u2019s your guide to tracking down the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon GO and everything you need to know so that you can catch them.\u00a0 All Legendary Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon GO Not every Legendary Pok\u00e9mon from the Pok\u00e9mon franchise has had its GO debut just yet, but here are all the available Legendaries and when they first appeared: Legendary Pok\u00e9mon Region DebutArticuno Kanto July 2017 Galarian Articuno Kanto July 2022 Zapdos Kanto August 2017 Galarian Zapdos Kanto July 2022 Moltres Kanto July 2017 Galarian Moltres Kanto July 2022 Mewtwo Kanto August 2017 Armored Mewtwo Kanto July 2019 Raikou Johto August 2017 Entei Johto August 2017 Suicune Johto September 2017 Lugia Johto July 2017 Ho-Oh Johto November 2017 Regice Hoenn June 2018 Registeel Hoenn July 2018 Regirock Hoenn August 2018 Latias Hoenn April 2018 Latios Hoenn April 2018 Kyogre Hoenn January 2018 Primal Kyogre Hoenn February 2023 Groudon Hoenn December 2017 Primal Groudon Hoenn February 2023 Rayquaza Hoenn February 2018 Uxie Sinnoh April 2019 Mesprit Sinnoh April 2019 Azelf Sinnoh April 2019 Dialga Sinnoh March 2019 Dialga (Origin) Sinnoh February 2024 Palkia Sinnoh January 2019 Palkia (Origin) Sinnoh February 2024 Giratina (Altered) Sinnoh October 2018 Giratina (Origin) Sinnoh April 2019 Heatran Sinnoh December 2018 Regigigas Sinnoh November 2019 Cresselia Sinnoh November 2018 Cobalion Unova November 2019 Terrakion Unova November 2019 Virizion Unova December 2019 Tornadus Unova February 2020 Tornadus (Therian) Unova March 2021 Thundurus Unova March 2020 Thundurus (Therian) Unova March 2021 Landorus Unova March 2020 Landorus (Therian) Unova April 2021 Reshiram Unova May 2020 Zekrom Unova June 2020 Kyurem Unova July 2020 Xerneas Kalos May 2021 Yveltal Kalos May 2021 Zygarde Kalos July 2023 Tapu Koko Alola March 2022 Tapu Lele Alola March 2022 Tapu Bulu Alola April 2022 Tapu Fini Alola May 2022 Cosmog Alola September 2022 Cosmoem Alola October 2022 Solgaleo Alola November 2022 Lunala Alola November 2022 Necrozma Alola May 2024 Dusk Mane Necrozma Alola May 2024 Dawn Wings Necrozma Alola May 2024 Zacian Galar August 2021 Zamazenta Galar August 2021 Regieleki Galar March 2023 Regidrago Galar March 2023 Enamorus\u00a0 Hisui February 2024 Legendary Pok\u00e9mon not yet in Pok\u00e9mon GO Although we\u2019re working towards a time when all of the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon will be available to catch in Pok\u00e9mon GO, many still have yet to make their debut. Not including alternate forms to any of the Pok\u00e9mon mentioned above, or any who have not yet featured, here\u2019s the full list: Eternatus Kubfu Urshifu Glastrier Spectrier Calyrex Wo-Chien Chien-Pao Ting-Lu Chi-Yu Koraidon Miraidon Okidogi Munkidori Fezandipiti Ogerpon\u00a0 Terapagos How to catch Legendary Pok\u00e9mon in Pok\u00e9mon GO If you\u2019re just starting with your Legendary Pok\u00e9mon collection, the ideal first targets are the Galarian forms of the Legendary Birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres). These three Pok\u00e9mon are always available to find in the wild, but only after using your Daily Adventure Incense.\u00a0 Sadly, they have a high flee rate and are damn near impossible to catch. As with all Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, it\u2019s a good idea to focus on landing Excellent Throws and Curve Balls while using any Premier Balls you happen to have to increase your catch potential.\u00a0 Outside of those three, the Lake Guardian Trio (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf) can appear in the wild at any time. However, which one you\u2019ll be able to find depends on where you live in the world, as each of them is region-locked: Uxie - Asia-Pacific region Mesprit - Europe, Middle East, Africa, India Azelf - North America, South America, Greenland If you\u2019re hunting for the other Legendaries, there are a few different ways to go about finding them.\u00a0 Raid Battles Your best bet to get a Legendary in Pok\u00e9mon GO is through 5-star Raid Battles, which take place regularly at Gyms. These are tough battles, and you\u2019ll need to team up with at least four or give other trainers if you want to stand a chance of winning.\u00a0 If you do beat a Legendary, you\u2019ll be rewarded with a few Premier Balls that can then be used to catch the beast. However, the catch rate for Legendaries is abysmally low (2%, as a general rule), so there\u2019s a high likelihood that you won\u2019t catch the Pok\u00e9mon even if you do win the battle.\u00a0 The Legendary Pok\u00e9mon available to fight and catch in Raid Battles change regularly, so there\u2019s always a chance to try again for a Pok\u00e9mon that escaped your capture previously.\u00a0 Timed Research It\u2019s always worth keeping an eye on Timed Research during events because Legendary Pok\u00e9mon sometimes feature as rewards. This is by no means guaranteed and hard to predict, but it\u2019s something to look out for with every event.\u00a0 GO Battle League Once you reach Rank 20 of the GO Battle League, any Legendary Pok\u00e9mon that are currently available from Raid Battles will be added to the pool of possible rewards. This is a bit hit-and-miss, but worth striving for.\u00a0 Defeat Giovanni Taking on Giovanni is possibly the best way to get some Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, at least in Shadow form. Once you\u2019ve defeated the Team GO Rocket boss, you\u2019ll have a Shadow Legendary encounter with a 100% catch rate.\u00a0\u00a0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/legendaries.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"latest_revision":{"revision_id":1012750,"modified_date_gmt":"2025-02-13T17:44:11"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/906"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1012548"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1012750,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1012548\/revisions\/1012750"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1012561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1012548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1012548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1012548"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1012548"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1012548"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1012548"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1012548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
