Legendaries are perhaps the most sought-after species in any Pokemon game. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, several new and returning Legendaries have been added to the roster, and trainers are desperate to know where to find them. Here’s how to catch all of the Legendary Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet.

Legendaries are arguably the strongest species in the franchise and trainers leave no stone unturned to catch these powerful Pokemon. Similar to previous mainline games, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has included many of these icons that will be remembered for years to come.

That’s not all as the release of Indigo Disk DLC features a good number of returning Legendaries from old Generations, and now, fans want to know their locations in the Paldea region.

So without any further ado, here’s how to catch all the Legendary Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet.

New Legendary Pokemon in Scarlet & Violet

There are currently eleven new Legendary Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, with the standard game featuring six new Legendaries, The Teal Mask introducing an additional four, and The Indigo Disk adding just one.

Here is a complete list of every new Legendary in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

  • Koraidon
  • Miraidon
  • Ting-Lu
  • Chien-Pao
  • Wo-Chien
  • Chi-Yu
  • Fezandipiti
  • Munkidori
  • Okidogi
  • Ogerpon
  • Terapagos

How to get Koraidon & Miraidon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Koraidon is exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet and Miraidon is exclusive to Pokemon Violet. Unlike in other Pokemon games, both Legendaries are actually introduced almost immediately and players own them pretty much from the get-go.

So you don’t need to do anything special to catch them, simply start your respective version of the game, and they will become your mount within the first hour.

In the build-up to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, trailers and gameplay footage introduced fans to the two new Legendaries – Koraidon and Miraidon. So it wasn’t too much of a surprise to see them when the games launched.

To use Koraidon and Miraidon in their Combat form, you will have to progress your adventure enough to defeat the Elite Four, and then access Area Zero.

How to catch Ting-Lu, Chien-Pao, Wo-Chien & Chi-Yu in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The Legendary quartet of Ting-Lu, Chien-Pao, Wo-Chien, and Chi-Yu can only be unlocked once you’ve located eight colored Stakes of the same color found around Paldea and sought out the Pokemon’s respective Shrines.

  • Ting-Lu: Northen West Province (Area Three)
  • Chien-Pao: West Province (Area One)
  • Wo-Chien: South Province (Area Five)
  • Chi-Yu: North Province (Area Two)

There are 32 Stakes in total, and you’ll need to find Blue, Green, Purple, and Yellow-colored Stakes.

Once you’ve gained access to a Shrine, you will have an opportunity to go 1-on-1 with the Legendary associated with that particular Shrine. Battle it, weaken it, and then you should have a great chance of success when it comes to catching them!
