Legendary Pokémon - Pixelmon Mod

Legendary Pokémon are Pokémon that are characterized by their rarity and their high base stat totals. They are very difficult to obtain because of their difficulty to locate, high levels, and low catch rates. They are also guaranteed to have a minimum of 3 perfect IVs when captured or spawned in.

• Don't confuse the term Legendary Pokémon with Ultra Beasts

Spawning

A Legendary Pokémon has a chance of spawning every 12.5 to 29.16 minutes. This chance of spawning depends on multiple factors, including whether Legendary Pokémon can spawn in the different biomes and spawn locations, whether the spawn positions are close enough to players, the amount of terrain that is compatible for a Legendary Pokémon's spawn location, and a base percentage of the Legendary Pokémon spawn attempt succeeding (30% by default).

Keep in mind, Pokémon will not spawn within a certain radius of the player, and the /checkspawns command only reports which Pokémon could spawn on the exact block where the player is standing rather than what may actually spawn in the surrounding area. For this reason, it is most effective to position the player near spawnable blocks rather than directly on them, as this allows the game to recognize nearby valid spaces and improves the chance of a legendary appearing.

A message will be broadcast when one of them spawns. It is possible for more than one of each Legendary Pokémon to spawn in a world.
