Guide: How To Obtain All Returning Legendary Pokemon In Pokemon Scarlet/Violet Indigo Disk DLC

Right before Pokemon Scarlet And Violet‘s Indigo Disk DLC was launched, The Pokemon Company revealed that players would be able to capture several returning Legendary Pokemon from past Pokemon titles through obtaining Snacks from an NPC.

Since then, the Pokemon community has figured out which Legendary Pokemon are available to find, how the snacks feature works, as well as where the Pokemon can be encountered after obtaining their respective snack. Based in this information, you can find a short guide to this feature below.

How To Unlock Legendary Snacks

As detailed in The Pokemon Company’s original announcement, players will need to obtain special snacks from an NPC named Snacksworth to unlock the returning Legendary Pokemon. Each Pokemon has their own unique snack associated with them (e.g. Kubfu Snack).

• Snacksworth will appear at the Entrance to the Blueberry Academy after completing the DLC’s main story.
• He will then give you snacks for every 10 solo Blueberry Quests that you completed, as well as for every 1 multiplayer group quest you have completed. Quests completed before completing the main story are included in the count.
• Players can unlock a total of 12 Legendary Pokemon snacks through completing solo quests, with the remaining Legendaries requiring completing group quests to unlock.

The Legendary Pokemon snacks that Snacksworth distributes for solo quests and group quests differ between versions, which creates a small degree of version exclusivity. Some Pokemon Scarlet solo quest Legendaries must be unlocked through group quests in Pokemon Violet and vice versa.

A breakdown of this arrangement can be found below, via Serebii:

Solo Quest Legendaries in both versions

• Articuno
• Zapdos
• Moltres
• Kubfu

Pokemon Scarlet Solo Quest Legendaries (Group Quest in Pokemon Violet)

• Raikou
• Entei
• Suicune
• Ho-Oh
• Latios
• Groudon
• Reshiram
• Solgaleo
• Glastrier

Pokemon Violet Solo Quest Legendaries (Group Quest in Pokemon Scarlet)

• Lugia
• Latias
• Kyogre
• Zekrom
• Cobalion
• Terrakion
• Virizion
• Lunala
• Spectrier

Group Quest Legendaries in both Versions

• Rayquaza
• Kyurem
• Necrozma

In order to unlock the Group Quest Legendaries, players will have to join with other players in the Union Circle and complete the Bluberry Quests assigned during multiplayer. This can be achieved by connecting to just one other player. It does not matter which version of the game each player is using, and can be done even with all players using just Scarlet Version and vice versa.

Where To Find Each Legendary Pokemon

After obtaining the snack for a Legendary Pokemon, it will appear in the main game’s Paldea region at a set location. Players will then need to travel to that location to find it and engage it in battle. These Legendary Pokemon will be shiny locked, and will be set at their default color scheme. Unlike other modern Legendary Pokemon, they will also not have any guaranteed perfect IVs.

A map showing the location of each Legendary can be found below:
