A true Pokemon trainer strives for a complete Pokedex, and some of the hardest Pokemon to track down are the legendaries. To help you fill those pesky gaps in your PC, we present the fastest, easiest ways to obtain every single legendary in the National Dex. The entries are arranged alphabetically, and within each entry the methods for obtaining the legendary are arranged from easiest to hardest.
Some things to keep in mind while using this guide as a reference:
We've only included ways to obtain each Pokemon that are transferrable to the current generation of Pokemon games (Diamond, Pearl and Platinum). This includes Pokemon that are obtainable in these three games, as well as through any of the GBA Pokemon games (FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald). Information pertaining only to Generations I and II (Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal) has been omitted due to its incompatibility with the current generation. It's great that you still have that Mew on your Pokemon Blue cartridge that you got when your mom took you to the Toys R Us event in 1999, but nobody is playing Red and Blue anymore.
Some general rules for catching in-game legendaries for anyone who doesn't know what's up already:
-Always save before an encounter with a legendary in case you accidentally KO it.
-Never save after you've accidentally KOed a legendary. Once you KO a legendary, unless you reset without saving, it will not be available again without starting a new game from scratch.
-Status effects are generally good for making Pokemon easier to catch, but never use Poison or Burn on a legendary, because you'll end up KOing it before you're able to catch it.
-Having a Pokemon that knows the False Swipe move is always a good idea to avoid accidentally KOing the legendary (False Swipe guarantees your opponent will always have at least 1 HP remaining when you use it).
-Any Pokemon obtained in any GBA version can be transferred to Diamond, Pearl or Platinum via PalPark (if you're unfamiliar with the PalPark process, it's explained here in detail) after beating the Elite 4 and obtaining the National Dex.
Also, keep in mind that all of these Pokemon are also obtainable via the GTS (Global Trade Station) in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, as well as through trading with your friends. The information in this guide should help you make informed trades, so you don't get scammed by some jerkhole trying to trade hacked mutant level 1 Mews. Be careful out
