Legendary Pokémon

This page details the methods to obtain them.

***Warning: This page contains spoilers about the main story.***

## Respawning Legendaries

Legendary Pokémon will disappear if defeated, caught or the player runs away. There are two ways to cause certain legendaries to respawn:

### Defeating the Pokemon Champion

The following legendaries will reappear after defeating the Pokémon Champion for a second and all subsequent times, until caught:

* Articuno

* Regirock (Registeel/Regirock fusion)

One other legendary will also disappear if the player's entire party faints during the battle and can be respawned by defeating the Pokémon Champion, but only if the player lost the battle. If the player defeats them or runs away these Pokémon will disappear for the rest of the playthrough:

* Reshirom (Reshiram/Zekrom fusion)

### Clearing Mt. Silver

Certain legendaries will reappear after defeating Gold on Mt. Silver for the first time, regardless of whether they had previously been caught or defeated.

* Articuno
* Zapdos
* Moltres

Some other legendaries will reappear, if previously defeated, after defeating Gold for the first time:

* Raicune (Raikou/Suicune fusion)
* Entei (roaming, not at Victory Road)
* Ho-gia (Ho-oh/Lugia fusion)**\***

***\***requires both defeating the Pokemon Champion and Gold.*
