Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC: Indigo Disk legendary locations /

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet’s second wave of DLC, The Indigo Disk, is available now, and it’s packed with content for any Pokémon fan. On top of a host of challenging battles like the new Elite Four challenge, Indigo Disk also allows you to catch 25 legendary Pokémon, all of which have returned from prior generations.

From the legendary bird trio to Kubfu and the noble steeds, there are plenty of highly sought after legendary Pokémon to find and catch at Blueberry Academy. It’s not exactly a straightforward or easy process, though, and even unlocking them in the first place takes a lot of effort.

In order to even start catching legendary Pokémon, you need to have finished the DLC's main storyline, after which you'll be able to find Mr. Snackworth at the Blueberry Academy's Entrance. Completing Blueberry Quests for him will see him give you special snacks that will make legendary Pokémon spawn in Paldea. But finding them is very tricky...

That’s why we put together this helpful guide listing all 25 of the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Indigo Disk legendary Pokémon locations, including all of Mr. Snackworth's clues and maps of each location.

Articuno location

Clue: Speaking of Articuno...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. See, I'd found this lovely pond up in the snowy peaks of Paldea and had decided to go for a dip, hankering for a bit of cold-water swimming... when would you believe it! Articuno comes swooping down along the nearby waterfall and starts flying about above me, singing away! I was tickled pink, I was. Went on merrily singing with Articuno even as the sun set and the moon rose. Before I knew it, it was morning again!

Location: Articuno can be found on the north-west side of the lake located immediately to the west of Montenevera, on Glaseado Mountain.

Zapdos location

Clue: Speaking of Zapdos...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I'd climbed right up to the tippy-top of one of those lighthouses you've got in Paldea, and I was taking in the view, looking over a distant city... when – would you believe it! – the heavens broke wide open, and rain started pouring down on me! I thought I'd better get out of that mess in a hurry, so I turned to head down again. Then the whole sky lit up like a huge crash of lightning, and Zapdos came flying outta nowhere! It blew right by me, quick as a flash!

Location: Zapdos can be found at the top of the Poco Path Lighthouse, to the south of Los Platos (East).

Moltres location

Clue: Speaking of Moltres...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was off doing a spot of rock-climbing over in western Paldea at the time. The weather was sure something else that day! Sandstorms were kicking up the whole desert – my mouth was as sandy as the ground! I was about ready to call it quits when... Moltres appeared in a blaze of glory, so bright you could see it through the blowing sands! I don't know if it meant to cheer me on, but it certainly did, and I completed my climb that day.

Location: Moltres can be found on the top of a rocky formation in the north of Asado Desert, immediately north of the Asado Desert Watchtower checkpoint.

Raikou location

Clue: Speaking of Raikou...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. Yes, there was a day me and ol' Raikou went racing up a mountain together. That Raikou – it's no slouch, that's for sure! Kept dashing past me and taking the lead. I was huffing and puffing and muttering some colorful things as I chased that wily Pokémon. But in the end, we were sitting side by side atop that peak, gazing out upon the massive and majestic desert that covers the land to the north.

Location: Raikou can be found at the top of a donut-shaped pond in the far west of Paldea, in West Province (Area One), north-west of this area’s checkpoint.

Entei location

Clue: Speaking of Entei...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. Would you believe it – I simply ran smack dab into Entei while out adventuring in Paldea! You know that stretch that's dotted with mines, and everywhere you look, there's another hole? Well, there was Entei, popping through those caves like it was having a grand ol' time! I don't like to be outshone, so I did my best to keep up with the feller. Whoo-ee, what a chase! We ended up all the way at the coast, side by side as we gazed out over the endless blue.

Location: Entei can be found on a sandy crag on the south side of the river separating East Province and North Province, to the north-east of Levincia.

Suicune location

Clue: Speaking of Suicune...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. See, I spotted Suicune once, while I was out enjoying that famous lake you've got in Paldea. We ended up having a little contest of skill, seeing which one of us could get all the way to shore fastest. We were off like a shot, but that Suicune – well, it runs right over the water, now don't it? Me being just your everyday human, the best I could manage was a nice, solid backstroke. It was a fine race, though. Mighty fine. Even if that Suicune did end up beating me by a whisker.

Location: Suicune can be found on the west-most island in Casseroya Lake.

Lugia location

Clue: Speaking of Lugia...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was paddling in the sea off Paldea, enjoying a leisurely backstroke through those crystal waters. But it was a real frigid stretch of sea, you understand. Didn't take long in that water before I'd started to lose all the warmth in my body! I was shaking like a leaf by the time I found an island and crawled ashore. What should appear before me but a great whirlpool heaving in the sea, and – bwoosh! Out of it comes Lugia itself! I was knocked flat on my backside in the shock of it all, so delighted I forgot I was even cold!

Location: You can find Lugia in the far north-east of the map, near a small island in the eastern side of the North Sea.

Ho-oh location

Clue: Speaking of Ho-Oh...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. Now this is a real old tale, from those long ago days when I'd just started out as a Trainer... I was down in the southwest of Paldea, near the cascading waterfalls down there. I'd been up through the night, training without rest to try to make my Pokémon stronger. Then Ho-Oh appears in the sky above me, glittering and sparkling bright as you ever saw! I'd sure like to believe that it appeared there to cheer me on when I was trying so hard.

Location: Ho-oh can be found on a small circular outcropping on the south-west side of South Province (Area Four).

Latias location

Clue: Speaking of Latias...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was off enjoying a spot of backstroke in the sea to the south of Paldea at the time. I'd been going on for a good while, so I'd come to feel a bit tuckered out and in need of a rest. Came ashore to rest on the sand in the shadow of some cliffs... when – you won't even believe it – there's Latias! Just right there before me! Our eyes met, and it gave me a jolly little smile. Then it flew off again out of sight.

Location: Latias can be found on a small beach at the very south of South Province (Area Four), located due south of the area’s Watchtower.

Latios location

Clue: Speaking of Latios...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. One day I ran smack dab into it, brazen as you please, while I was up in northeast Paldea, see. We couldn't speak each other's language, but I got the feeling it was telling me to follow it. So I gave chase when Latios flew off, and I ended up climbing these mighty steep cliffs. Next time I looked up, I realized I'd come to a small lake, nestled in between some jagged cliffs. It was a secret spot, all right.

Location: Latios can be found on the eastern side of a lake in North Province (Area Two), south-west of Fury Falls.

Kyogre location

Clue: Speaking of Kyogre...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was on another one of my adventures around Paldea when I spotted these odd rocks in the sea. I thought to myself, "Now, Snacksworth, those've got to be those famous rocks said to bring riches!" So I figured I might as well squeeze my eyes shut real tight and make a wish on 'em. After a few seconds, I opened my eyes, and what should appear in front of those rocks but Kyogre! Just big and blue and brazen as you please! Now that was a shocking day, make no mistake!

Location: Kyogre can be found in the far north-west of Paldea in the ocean just north of the Gracia Stones checkpoint.

Groudon location

Clue: Speaking of Groudon...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I did spy ol' Groudon once, back in the days when I was adventuring around Paldea. You know the huge cave system under that one town? I never can remember the name... Anyway, the name don't matter, except to say that that's the place where I saw that feller! I thought to myself, "Well, if that ain't Groudon!" And I gave a big wave of my arms to say hello. What else are you supposed to do when faced with the Continent Pokémon, I ask you? So anyway, I did that. And then it showed me its huge, fearsome claws, that it did.

Location: Groudon can be found in Alfornada Cavern, below the town of Alfornada.

Rayquaza location

Clue: Speaking of Rayquaza...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was doing a bit of mountain climbing – hauling myself up some mighty steep Paldean cliffs. When I made it up to the top – now that was the kind of sight a man lives for! I looked down over the edge into a sea of white mist, unbroken as far as the eye could see! There was something truly mystical about it all. And what came bursting right outta that dense fog but ol' Rayquaza, like a cork outta a bottle! I nearly fell back down the mountain in shock!

Location: On the rim of the Area Zero crater (outside of Area Zero itself), just north of South Province Area Three.

Cobalion location

Clue: Speaking of Cobalion...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was on one of my adventures in Paldea when Cobalion just pranced on down from a cliff. I was real flummoxed at first when it stopped right before me. Maybe it was just pausing to stare because my face looked so funny? Anyway, that ol' Cobalion started to stroll away, so I followed, and it led me to a famed waterfall. I tried to say thanks, but ol' Cobalion just dashed off into the bamboo grove, cool as you please.

Location: Cobalion can be found on a small cliff immediately to the right upon flying to the Fury Falls landmark.

Terrakion location

Clue: Speaking of Terrakion...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. It was just a regular day, and I was out doing a bit of my beloved rock-climbing, as I'm wont to. I'd made it up quite high. When I turned around for a breath, I could just make out Cortondo in the distance, off to the south. I was simply standing there, admiring that view... when next thing I knew, Terrakion had plonked down for a sit right beside me! Perhaps it was simply at loose ends? It sat with me for a time, and we ate some snacks together.

Location: Terrakion can be found on the small crag to the east of the West Province (Area One) Watchtower, overlooking the Dark Crew’s Base.

Virizion location

Clue: Speaking of Virizion...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I tell you no lies: I simply came across Virizion resting among the trees one day while I was on one of my adventures around Paldea! And what trees they were! All done up in these mysterious patterns like I've never seen. We stayed there a good while, me and Virizion, gazing at one another twixt those fanciful trees. But that ol' Virizion, it didn't run off. Just gave me this curious look, you know? So I sat there and told it about my adventures, and it listened with a kindly air the whole time.

Location: Virizion can be found in the far north-east of the Tagtree Thicket, north of the East Province (Area Three) checkpoint.

Reshiram location

Clue: Speaking of Reshiram...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. See, I saw Reshiram with my own eyes, out near a town that I'd passed through in Paldea. It was a town where a lot of hardworking folk live – the type that get their hands dirty. I'd climbed up to a nice height to look out upon all their hard work, carved into the landscape. I was just remarking to myself what a fine show of effort it was, when I seemed to feel a presence behind me. And when I turned – bam! There was Reshiram, right at my shoulder! I figure it must like good ol'-fashioned hard work, too.

Location: Reshiram can be found on a cliff to the immediate south of Zapapico, west of Levincia.

Zekrom location

Clue: Speaking of Zekrom...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I'd set out from Mesagoza, thinking I would walk all the way out to Artazon from there. I was making fine progress, when this great black shadow streaks across the sky to the east. I was consumed with curiosity – that's for sure – so I climbed real high to try to catch a better look... and wouldn't you know it – there was Zekrom! I stared up at it like a country lad seeing his first city, and it came down to land right near me. We watched one another for a time. I couldn't help but bask in how magnificent Zekrom is.

Location: Zekrom can be found behind a large rock formation immediately to the south of Artazon.

Kyurem location

Clue: Speaking of Kyurem...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. See, I was up climbing the snowy mountains when a terrible storm blew in, and I had no choice really but to hunker down in a cave underground. Don't even rightly know if I should call that place a cave. It was all soaring heights and wide passages – befuddling as any labyrinth too. I was having a grand time exploring its many nooks and crannies when this sheet of ice near me suddenly up and moved! I rubbed my eyes, not believing what I was seeing, once I realized – it was no ice sheet! It was Kyurem, right there in front of me! Who would believe it, right?

Location: Kyurem can be found just inside a cave near Dalizapa Passage, just up the ramp and to the left after dropping down.

Solgaleo location

Clue: Speaking of Solgaleo...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I'd gone to pay Paldea's Pokémon League a little visit at that fine building they've got there. I was just admiring the structure from the outside when one of the staffers noticed me and invited me in for a better look. They took me up to the observation deck, all done up with that logo of theirs. I was looking toward the academy and enjoying the view when a shadow fell across us. I kid you not, young friend. It was Solgaleo itself! It was only there a moment before it dashed right off again in a flash, so I couldn't even get in a how-do-you-do. But it was magnificent!

Location: Solgaleo can be found immediately underneath the champion’s battle platform on the Pokémon League building.

Lunala location

Clue: Speaking of Lunala...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was on a fine sandy beach in Paldea, gazing out at the sun as it set into the sea. Looking at the sun really reminds you just how small you are as one person, you know? I was getting all sentimental as I watched the light slipping away. It hadn't yet disappeared when suddenly this great crescent moon bloomed before my eyes! It was only there for an instant, so it was hard to get a good look. But I'm sure that silhouette belonged to Lunala, or my name's not Snacksworth.

Location: Lunala can be found on the north side of the river mouth just north of Porto Marinada.

Necrozma location

Clue: Speaking of Necrozma...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was sitting in the stream of one of Paldea's waterfalls, letting the pounding water cleanse my mind... when I looked up and saw Necrozma sat right up above, giving me the ugliest glare! I thought it'd be unwise of me not to stand my ground, so I squared up and roared as loud as the water! That had ol' Necrozma off like a shot. And it wasn't just Necrozma either! That shout of mine sent all the nearby Sawsbuck scattering, too, wouldn't you know it! Hahahaha!

Location: On a small lip on the south face of the giant rock in the middle of the Socarrat Trail area., just east of the Groundblight Shrine.

Kubfu location

Clue: Speaking of Kubfu...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was adventuring off in Paldea when I saw Kubfu training! I ambled right up to it and asked, "Ohoho, hard at work training, are you?" Why, the two of us got on like a house on fire! We trained together for a time, till Kubfu seemed to be itching to move on. But it left me a gift – it plucked up a haul of the bamboo sprouts that grew nearby, just for me.

Location: Kubfu can be found immediately in front of the fly point for Fury Falls.

Spectrier location

Clue: Speaking of Spectrier...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was off hiking among Paldea's peaks for a bit of fun, mountain climbing being a bit of a hobby. I was taking my sweet time meandering up some mountain paths dotted sparsely with trees. I came upon this old ruin on the path, covered in vines, and I thought to myself, "Now, doesn't that seem as good a place as any to take a rest?” I'd no sooner drawn close for a look than this black shadow of a Pokémon appeared! Spectrier'd been sleeping inside! It popped its long face out and scared the spirit outta me! It loves that snack you have there, so you might just have a shot at meeting it too!

Location: Spectrier can be found in ruins to the west of Dalizapa Passage, just north of the great crater.

Glastrier location

Clue: Speaking of Glastrier...I do recall this one particular encounter when I was a younger feller. I was off hiking among Paldea's peaks for a bit of fun, mountain climbing being a bit of a hobby. I was trekking up and up those snowy hillsides, and I figured I must have been nearly to the summit when I came across some ruins. Perhaps they'd been a house once? The walls still looked sound enough that I thought I could take shelter and have myself a little rest. I'd no sooner drawn close for a look than this Pokémon appeared, white as the driven snow! Glastrier'd been sleeping inside! When it popped its long face out, the fright nearly froze my heart!

Location: Glastrier can be found next to a tree by the ruins south of Glaseado Gym.
