Johto Legendaries

Discover how to find and catch Lugia, Ho-Oh, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Your guide to these elusive Johto Legendaries!

Alright, so you're looking to snag some of those awesome Johto Legendaries in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? These aren't your typical Soaring encounters, so pay attention!

First up: Lugia and Ho-Oh. These two cover Legendaries won't be found by flying around. You'll need to fully complete the 'Sea Mauville in Full' quest first. It's a bit further into the game, but once that's done, keep an eye out!

Next, the legendary trio: Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. These guys are famous for roaming around in older games, but thankfully, they're stationary here. To get them to show up, you absolutely need to be Soaring with Latios or Latias, AND have either Ho-Oh or Lugia in your party. If you've got that setup, a special Mirage Spot called 'Trackless Forest' should appear to the east of Petalburg Woods.

Now, here's the tricky part: which of the three you encounter depends on the time of day. It's not about the exact hour, but rather how far into that hour it is, with changes happening every 20 minutes:

• Raikou: You'll find Raikou from the start of the hour up to 20 minutes past it (e.g., 1:00 PM - 1:20 PM).
• Entei: Entei appears from 20 minutes past the hour to 40 minutes past (e.g., 1:20 PM - 1:40 PM).
• Suicune: Suicune shows up from 40 minutes past the hour until the next hour begins (e.g., 1:40 PM - 2:00 PM).

So, keep an eye on your clock and your party composition, and you'll be able to catch these Johto legends!
