With the release of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl fast approaching, fans are wondering how many legendaries they will be able to catch.
Lugia is an old-time legendary, first appearing in Generation II. Once trainers got the Silver Wing, they could head to the Whirl Islands and battle Lugia on the water. In the original Generation IV games, Lugia could only be transferred from the GBA. It seems that trainers can catch Lugia and much more in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Older legendary Pokemon confirmed to be in Generation IV remakes
In a recent trailer, it was revealed that trainers who play Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have a bunch of legendary Pokemon that they can catch post-game, Lugia included. This comes by way of a new area of the Sinnoh region called Ramanas Park.
In this new area, trainers can use slates to activate pedestals that will trigger encounters with certain legendaries. While it’s a little unclear, trainers will likely be picking up these slates as they go about their playthrough.
The slates themselves are nods to the older games. Each slate is designed to look like the cartridge of the game from which they originated. For example, Rayquaza’s slate looks like a green GBA cartridge.
A full list of legendary Pokemon confirmed to be in Ramanas Park as of now are as follows:
- Articuno
- Zapdos
- Moltres
- Entei
- Raikou
- Suicune
- Ho-oh
- Lugia
- Rayquaza
Trainers won’t be able to get these legendaries in one game, though. The majority of them are version-exclusive.
To catch Lugia, trainers will need to pick up Pokemon Shining Pearl. If they do, they will also have access to the legendary bird trio (Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres). Players who pick up Pokemon Brilliant Diamond will instead be able to catch Ho-oh and the legendary beasts (Entei, Raikou and Suicune).
Fortunately, trainers can also catch a couple of mythical Pokemon in the game. If any player has a save file of Pokemon Sword or Shield on their console, they will get an encounter with Jirachi. Also, any player with a save file of Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee will be able to catch Mew.
