Legendary Pokémon

There are currently 32 legendaries (including mythics) that can be caught in Pokémon Infinite Fusion. Excluding the Kanto legendary birds, Entei, Mew, Jirachi, Meloetta, Cresselia, Darkrai, and Diancie, these Pokémon can only be obtained during the post-game (outside of Randomized Mode).

This page details the methods to obtain them.

Warning: This page contains spoilers about the main story.

Respawning Legendaries

Legendary Pokémon will disappear if defeated, caught or the player runs away. There are two ways to cause certain legendaries to respawn:

Defeating the Elite Four Pokémon Champion

This only works if you defeated or ran away from the Legendary. The following legendaries will reappear after defeating the Elite 4 Pokémon Champion for a second and all subsequent times, until caught:

• Articuno
• Zapdos
• Moltres
• Mew
• Mewtwo
• Ho-gia (Ho-oh/Lugia fusion) *
• Rayquaza
• Kyogre
• Groudon
• Genesect
• Kyurem
• Reshirom (Reshiram/Zekrom fusion)
• Dialga
• Palkia
• Giratina
• Regigigas
• Regi (Ice/Steel)
• Regi (Rock/Ice)
• Regi (Steel/Rock)
• Cresselia
• Darkrai
• Necrozma

While not being a Legendary, Rotom also respawns under the same conditions.

Clearing Mt. Silver

Certain legendaries will reappear after defeating Gold on Mt. Silver for the 1st time you defeat Gold regardless of whether they had previously been caught or defeated.

We recommend doing the this after you've already caught the initial encounter of the Legendary. This essentially gives you a 2nd copy of the Pokémon below.

• Articuno
• Zapdos
• Moltres
• Raicune
• Entei
• Ho-oh/Lugia*
• Mewtwo
• Darkrai
• Cresselia

*requires both defeating the Pokémon Champion and Gold.

-Note: Any legendaries not listed above will not respawn once defeated; the player must start a new game or use Wonder Trade or the Celadon City Black Market in order to obtain them-

Location	Lavender Town/Halfmoon Island/Moonlit Forest/Fullmoon Island/Newmoon Island
HM Needed	Surf or Fly
Level	60
Requirement	Negative Karma

Going to the Lavender Orphanage (South-easternmost house of Lavender Town) when the player has low Karma (-1 or less) makes a feather appear on the bed. Interacting with the feather triggers a cutscene where a voice tells you to collect feathers, which only appear at night.

During nighttime, shadowy figures will appear, and interacting with them gives hints to the location of the next feather. The first feather is in the northernmost house in Vermillion City, east of the Pokémon Center. The second feather is up the stairs of the daycare south of Cerulean City. The third feather is located in the hotel of Fuschia City. The fourth feather is located north of Crimson City, in the house on an island. Finally, the fifth feather is located back in the Lavender Orphanage, collecting it will lower the player's Karma by 5. Speak to the green feather after that and go to bed and the player will wake up in Halfmoon Island. Speaking to Darkrai will trigger a cutscene, and now you have a path to choose.

North of Halfmoon Island is Moonlit Forest, where there's an area of water in the shape of a crescent moon. Walking on the water will make it disappear/reappear; if you make all of the water disappear, it will resemble a new moon and give you access to Newmoon Island when you leave the forest, and if you make all of the water reappear it will resemble a full moon and give you access to Fullmoon Island.

The Cresselia Path

To take this path, enter Moonlit Forest and fill the area with water, resembling a full moon, and leave the forest to enter Fullmoon Island, where Cresselia and a bed is located. Interacting with Cresselia will give you a Lunar Feather, which Cresselia tells the player to place on the bed in Newmoon Island. Go back to Moonlit Forest and make the area of water into a new moon and enter Newmoon Island.

Placing the Lunar Feather on the bed in Newmoon Island resets the players's Karma, and takes them to a dreamish version of Moonlit Forest, where many Mareep and Flaaffy are located. The goal is to count how many Mareep there are (including the shiny ones) and how many Flaaffy there are (watch out for the shiny Mareep who are the same color as the Flaaffy). To the east is a Drowzee, who asks the player to count the number of Mareep and Flaaffy in the forest; miscounting the Pokémon will cause you to re-count with a different amount of Mareep and Flaaffy for each failure you do. After completing the minigame, the player wakes up on Newmoon Island, now with less corruption, where Cresselia will join your party, and Darkrai can be battled and caught.

The Darkrai Path

To take this path, enter Moonlit Forest and make all the water disappear, resembling a new moon, and leave the forest to enter Newmoon Island, where Darkrai and a bed is located. Interacting Darkrai will give you a Corrupted Feather. Go back to Moonlit Forest and make the area of water into a full moon and enter Fullmoon Island.

Placing the Corrupted Feather on the bed lowers the player's Karma by -20, and takes them to a nightmarish version of Moonlit Forest. South is a patch of water, where walking into it will turn the player into a Magikarp. Pressing Space/X will make the player jump forwards one tile, and holding Space/X until a spark appears and pressing Space/X again makes them jump forwards two tiles. The aim is to complete the course before a shadowy Pinsir catches up to the player. After completing the mini-game, the player wakes up on Fullmoon Island, now more corrupted, where Darkrai will join their party, and Cresselia can be battled and caught.

Once either path has been completed, return to the bed in Halfmoon Island. This will take you back to the Lavender Orphanage.
