How to find the Generation IV legendary Pokémon

Most of the legendary Pokémon from before Generation VII have been moved to Ultra Worlds called “Ultra Space Wilds”. To reach them, enter the Ultra Wormhole at the Altar of the Sunne/Moone and go through a portal that is not white. As with other Pokémon, you just need to walk to the end of the area to trigger the encounter and try to catch it. So bring a good stock of Poké Balls before you go!

The presence of the Generation IV legendary Pokémon, which occurs at random on each trip, is shown as a “strong presence” when you land in their area. Each one is available only once. When all the Pokémon in a setting have been caught, the presence is shown as lost.

There are nine of them: Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Heatran, Regigigas and Cresselia. You can soft-reset to make them appear in their shiny form, just as you normally would right before meeting the Pokémon in question.

The lake trio: Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf

Native to the lakes of the Sinnoh region, these Pokémon, who symbolize human emotions, logically end up in the aquatic Ultra Space Wilds. So you need to go through a blue portal to reach them.

The space-time trio: Dialga, Palkia and Giratina

As is often the case with legendary Pokémon, these rascals are a bit more complicated to get:

  • Dialga, reached through a green portal, is exclusive to Ultra Sun;
  • Palkia, reached through a yellow portal, is exclusive to Ultra Moon;
  • Giratina, also in a yellow portal, requires you to have previously had Dialga and Palkia in your team.

The Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb, which boost the power of moves of the same type as Dialga and Palkia respectively by 20%, can be bought at the antique shop in Hau’oli City. The same goes for Giratina’s Griseous Orb which, on top of that nice effect, switches it to its Origin Forme and back.

Heatran and Regigigas

Aside from being from the same generation, Heatran and Regigigas don’t seem to have much in common. We group them here mostly because of version exclusivity: both are found in yellow portals, but Heatran is exclusive to Ultra Sun and Regigigas to Ultra Moon.

Cresselia

While Darkrai, being a Mythical Pokémon, is not available, its counterpart Cresselia can be found on a cliff through a red portal.
