Current level five raid legendary: Groudon
From June 27 until July 10, Groudon is available in level five raids, following on from Cresselia and Kyogre. If you don't manage to get a Groudon during this time though, don't worry because it's also a reward for field research until September 1.
Current ex-raid legendary: Deoxys Speed Forme
Following on from Deoxys Attack Forme as the legendary Pokemon exclusive to ex-raids, is Deoxys Speed Forme. If you're unsure what an ex-raid in Pokemon Go is, venture over to our Pokemon Go raids guide which also includes counters for all of the Pokemon available in raids right now.
Special research legendary Pokemon: Mew, Celebi, and Meltan
Mew was the first legendary Pokemon available via special research, in a quest line called 'A Mythical Discovery'. This is the only way to obtain Mew, and you can read more on that with our how to catch Mew and Mewtwo in Pokemon Go guide.
Celebi is also now available through the 'A Ripple In Time' special research quest. Just like Mew, you need to do a series of potentially lengthy tasks, which we've covered in detail here: how to catch Celebi in Pokemon Go.
Technically, Meltan and its evolution Melmetal are mythical Pokemon instead of legendaries, but for the purposes of this guide, they count as legendaries. We've covered how to catch Meltan in Pokemon Goand Pokemon Let's Go but the basic gist of things is that you either need to transfer a Pokemon from the former to the latter, to receive Meltan in the former, or complete the special research called 'Let's GO, Meltan.
Field research legendary Pokemon: Kyogre, Groudon, Latias, Latios
When you complete seven pieces of field research, you'll earn a special reward encounter with a legendary Pokemon. This can be one of many, and is the only way to obtain these legendaries at this point in the game. They all used to be available as level five raid bosses, and they've now returned as field research rewards from July 1 till September 1.
Advice for catching Pokemon Go Legendaries
- It’s disappointing but don’t expect to catch on your first Raid. The catch rates differ per Legendary but the odds are not high.
- Increase your odds with curveballs and Golden Razz Berries but only do curveballs if you are definitely sure you can hit it. Don’t waste Poke Balls unnecessarily
- Take friends to not only support the attack but also net you extra Poke Balls. Dependent on your in game relationship status with Pokemon Go friends, you’ll earn more Raid balls and they definitely come in handy.
- Throw your Poke Ball after a Legendary has just done its attack move to make sure they don’t just flick your Poke Ball away.
- If you are having trouble with Raid numbers, try signing up for your local Discord or Facebook Pokemon Go community. There’ll be plenty of people in the same situation and organising Raid groups.
Good luck, trainer!
Pokemon enthusiasts across the globe are now anticipating the release of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, and who could blame them. Not only does it mark the first time a core installment has landed on the Nintendo 3DS, but it’s the first ever fully 3D Pocket Monster game. While the presentation in which Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed Pokemon X and Y got fans incredibly excited, it also left a number of questions in its wake; questions that many are now left to ponder.
One of the biggest questions that anxious gamers were left wondering pertained to the two new legendary Pokemon that appeared in the debut trailer. Other than the fact that they each resembled the ‘X’ and ‘Y’ letters featured prominently at the end of each version’s title, they were left largely on display without even the slightest of details. Nintendo has now revealed the official names of the legendary duo, allowing those following the games’ development to grow accustomed to addressing the new creatures by something other than “the Y-shaped bird” and “colorful deer thing.”
The Pokemon will now forever be known as Xerneas (pronounced ZURR-nee-us) and Yveltal (pronounced ee-VELL-tall), and they’ll each presumably be featured on the covers of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. Other than names, however, fans can only speculate about what the back stories and types are for both Xerneas and Yveltal. There’s no doubt that The Pokemon Company will get around to dropping more details eventually, but gamers still have a bit of a wait until that happens.
In the meantime, anxious players can plan out which starter Pokemon they’d like to accompany them on this new journey (Fennekin, Chespin, or Froakie are the options). Hopefully more screenshots and details will arrive soon, because Pokemon Masters still have a 10 month wait before they can get their hands on either version of the game.
Pokemon X and Pokemon Y are scheduled to launch on the Nintendo 3DS this October.

[[Legendary Pokemon|]]
Legendary Pokemon are special, one of a kind Pokemon that can be found in the Pokemon series. Most of the time you'll hear the non-playable characters in the game telling stories about these Pokemon. The stories and their rarity is what makes them the stuff of Legends.
These Pokemon are usually very strong and extremely hard to catch. If you have trouble catching a Legendary Pokemon, view our How To Guides for a few extra tips.

Mewtwo_art.jpg
Mewtwo returns in Pokemon X and Y as a Legendary Pokemon. The only reason known for its return at this time is to showcase the new Mega Evolutions. Unlike most Mega Pokemon, Mewtwo can either turn into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y depending on the Mega Stone that is given to it.
Video: How to Catch Mewtwo
Mewtwo is located inside the Unknown Dungeon at the Pokemon Village, but you can only access this cave after becoming Pokemon League Champion. After its capture you will receive Mewtwonite X or Y depending on the version you are playing. Mega Mewtwo X becomes a Psychic/Fighting Pokemon with an increased Attack stat. Mega Mewtwo Y stays Psychic with an increased Special Attack Stat.
Legendary Birds[edit]
The three legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres can also be found in Pokemon X and Y. The legendary bird you can catch is based on which Pokemon you chose as your starter. Articuno will appear if you chose Chespin, Zapdos if you chose Fennekin, and Moltres if you chose Froakie
- Articuno can be found roaming in the wild. After the first encounter, the Pokedex map can be used to locate it. Articuno has been spotted in the following Routes after becoming the Pokemon League Champion: Route 19, Route 15, Route 7, Route 4.
- Zapdos can be found roaming in the wild. After the first encounter, the Pokedex map can be used to locate it. Zapdos has been spotted in the following Routes after becoming the Pokemon League Champion: Route 22, Route 18, Route 7.
- Moltres can be found roaming in the wild. After the first encounter, the Pokedex map can be used to locate it. Moltres has been spotted in the following Routes after becoming the Pokemon League Champion: Route 18, Route 4, Route 5/
How to Catch Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres
Once you Encounter them, they will instantly flee, not giving you a chance to fight. You must track them down an additional nine times to progress. After the ten encounters, they will be at the Sea Spirit's Den, where you can battle and capture them. They will be level 70.
An easy way to encounter them the necessary ten times is to stock up on max repels and have a Pokemon under level 65. Fly to Santalune City and use the max repel. Next, head over to Route 4 and run in the grass. You will either find no Pokemon or you will run into one of the legendary birds. If you do not run into one of them, go back into Santalune City and then immediately back into Route 4. This will cause the Pokemon to switch between the route it was previously at and go into a new random route. Continue this process until you run into the Pokemon enough times. Remember to have a Pokemon under level 65 at the front of your party to encounter one of the Legendary Birds without encountering other random Pokemon.
