There are 25 Legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon Indigo Disk DLC. However, some Pokémon are much harder to catch compared to others. Some Legendaries are in hard-to-reach locations, are only available in group quests, or need a specific routine to be able to catch them. To catch a Legendary Pokémon, players must complete the main story of Scarlet & Violet and purchase the Indigo Disk DLC, then speak to Snacksworth at Blueberry Academy.
Snacksworth will send players on quests in exchange for lure items called Snacks. Each Snack corresponds to a Legendary Pokémon, as well as a hint on where to find the legendary Pokémon. The Snacks can then be used to help catch Legendaries but are given out in a random order, meaning the Legendary Snack that is needed may take longer to receive, depending on a person’s playthrough.
Every Legendary Pokémon In Indigo Disk That Can Be Caught Through BBQ Group Quests
In the Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, legendary Pokémon from past generations can be obtained through doing Blueberry Quests.
10 Solgaleo (#0791)
Psychic- Steel-Type
Solgaleo is difficult to catch due to its move sets and location. Players will need to fly up to the Pokémon League building to reach it. Solgaleo uses Flare Blitz, Solar Beam, Wild Charge, and Metal Burst, so it can be difficult to find a Pokémon to defeat it. Solgaleo can also only be encountered in Pokémon Scarlet through Solo Blueberry Quests, so players using Pokémon Violet will need to do a group quest. Solgaleo is a psychic and steel-type Pokémon, so it is weak to Fire, Ghost, Dark, and Ground-type moves, so make sure to have those Pokémon ready.
9 Terapagos (#1024)
Normal-Type
Players will not be able to have an encounter with Terapagos until all four of the BB Elite Four Trials are completed, as well as the fight with Kieran. After the battle with Terapagos, Kieran will catch it. However, after battling Kieran, Terapagos will transform into its true form, creating another battle. Terapagos has the Tera Shell ability when it’s in the Terastal Form, meaning any damage-dealing moves that hit it when it has a full HP will not be as effective. The best way to catch this Pokémon is by using Terastallize as many times as possible, as Terapagos will absorb the players Pokémon’s Terastal energy.
8 Cobalion (#0638)
Steel- Fighting-Type
Cobalion can only be found in Pokémon Violet through Solo Blueberry Quests, which already makes catching it a little more tricky if Pokémon Scarlet is being used, as a group quest will need to be done. Cobalion is also resistant to Ice, Bug, Grass, Dark, Steel, Rock, and Dragon-type moves. As Cobalion is a fighting and Steel-type Pokémon, it will be weak to ground, Fire, and Fighting-type moves. Make sure to use these types, and make sure to use Fury Swipes for success.
7 Gouging Fire (#1020)
Fire- Dragon-Type
Gouging Fire is a time-consuming Pokémon to catch, as players will need to have already caught 200 Pokémon before being able to attempt to catch it. After catching 200 Pokémon, go to the Savannah Biome in the Terarium and talk to Perrin. From there, Gouging Fire can be found to the north of Area Zero, and players will need to fly up the waterfall to the top, where it can be found.
6 Iron Boulder (#1022)
Rock- Psychic-Type
Iron Boulder is another time-consuming Pokémon to catch, as players will need to fill the Pokédex up with 200 entries, have access to the Pokémon Home, or the upgrade to the Teratium in the League Club Room will be needed. Iron Boulder can also only be obtained once per save file. Iron Boulder resists False Swipe, so the best way to counter it in battle is by using a Pokémon with a sleep-inducing move such as Sleep Powder or Hypnosis.
5 Groudon (#0383)
Ground-Type
Groudon is Solo Quest Exclusive in Pokémon Scarlet, so if players are using Pokémon Violet, a Group Blueberry Quest must be completed for a chance to catch Groudon. Finding this Pokémon is a little tricky, too; Groudon can be found on top of the tallest rock found inside the cave Alfornada Cavern, located below the Alfornada Gym. Players must enter the cave on the west side and fly straight across the gap to a platform where Groudon can be found. Navigating the cave can be a little tricky, so make sure to remember the way.
4 Lunala (#0792)
Psychic- Ghost-Type
Lunala is a difficult Pokémon to catch due to it being a Ghost-type Pokémon, meaning False Swipe will have no effect if it is used. Instead, players can change Lunala’s type to make it easier to catch. Using a Water-type Pokémon and using Soak will turn Lunala into a Water-type Pokémon, and False Swipe will have an effect, making it easier to catch. Similar to other Pokémon on this list, Lunala is also only available through Pokémon Violet in Solo Blueberry Quests.
3 Meloetta (#0648)
Normal- Psychic-Type
There is a very specific way to catch Meloetta, which makes catching it so difficult. Players must rotate the control stick in a circle until the character begins to stand on one leg and spin. Then, hold the pose for 10-20 seconds. Pull out the camera and press down on the D-pad 5 times to change to the Sepia filter. Listen closely, and the music should change. Finally, rotate the camera around, and Meloetta should be close.
2 Gholdengo (#1000)
Steel- Ghost-Type
To be able to catch Gholdengo, players will need to obtain 999 Gimmighoul coins. The quickest way to get the coins is to battle and defeat Gimmighoul, as coins will be awarded as a prize after winning a battle. However, the amount of coins given will be random. Some players will be lucky and be able to obtain all 999 coins after one battle, but if not, a lot of persistence and luck will be needed.
1 Glastrier (#0896)
Ice-Type
Glastier can only be encountered in Pokémon Scarlet by going on Solo Blueberry Quests otherwise group quests will be needed. It also has some powerful attacks, which makes catching it so difficult. It uses Double Edge, Taunt, Thrash, and Iron Defence. The key is to paralyze Glastier and get the HP down to 1. Then, swap with a Ghost Type Pokémon, as Double Edge and Thrash will have no effect. After this, any Poké Ball can be used and will have a high chance of success in capturing Glaster in the Pokémon Indigo Disk.
