Legendary Pokémon

This page is up-to-date with latest released Version of the mod. To know spawn locations in older versions it is suggested to install Pixelmon Extras sidemod!

Legendary Pokémon (or Legendaries) is a group of incredibly rare Pokémon with very high base stat totals.

A server-wide annoucement reading <Legendary name> has spawned in <Biome name> biome! will be displayed in chat when a Legendary Pokémon spawns.

(This setting can be modified in pixelmon.hocon config).

They are often confused with Ultra Beasts, a different extra-dimensional Pokémon that is resistent to almost every Pokéball.

Some Legendaries have unique spawning methods (i.e. Darkrai) while other Legendaries have unique spawning times (i.e. Necrozma).
They will always spawn at high levels and have a really low catch rate, but, on capture, they are guaranteed to have a minimum of 3 Perfect IV stats.
