Mythical and Legendary Pokemon are among the series' most desirable creatures, thanks both to their rarity and their peerless prowess in battle. In total, there are 18 of them in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, though players will only be able to get their hands on two of them before they complete the game's main story.

Once the post-game begins, however, players will be able to begin hunting down the rest of these powerful Pokemon, with the majority tied to requests and additional story missions. Those looking to capture every Mythical and Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus are going to have their work cut out for them though, and will also need to have save data from a couple of the previous Pokemon games on their Switch.

Updated May 19, 2022, by Tom Bowen: Gathering the strongest Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a surefire way to assemble an unstoppable team. However, there's a little more to it than just catching all of the game's Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. Those looking to get the very best out of their newly acquired creatures will need to consider both their stats and their nature, the latter of which can be changed with the help of special nature mints. With this in mind, this guide on how to catch every Mythical and Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon: Legends: Arceus has been updated to include the stats of and best nature for all 18 Pokemon.

After accepting the request, players should make their way to the Bonechill Wastes area of the Alabaster Icelands. For Tornadus to appear, there needs to be a blizzard taking place, so if the weather is mild, players should return to the nearest base camp and rest until it starts to snow heavily. When Tornadus finally appears, players will need to hit it with a Poke Ball to lower its shield and then quickly throw in a Pokemon to engage it in battle before it has a chance to recover. To switch between the Pokemon's Incarnate and Therian forms, players will need the Reveal Glass, which is obtained by returning to Cogita after catching Enamorus and completing ten or more of its Pokedex research tasks.
