Starting with 151 in just the first two versions of the game, this was never an easy task from the start. However, the games added a second layer of challenge by including very special - and difficult-to-catch - Pokémon called Legendary Pokémon. These extra-powerful, rare, and hard-to-find creatures are some of the most satisfying to track down and add to your roster. That’s assuming you’re able to, of course. There are a total of 30 Legendary and Mythic Pokémon according to the Pokédex in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, though not all can be caught on a single version of the game. As is tradition with the Pokémon series, there are exclusive monsters for each version, and this applies to Legendaries as well. Additionally, all but the two mandatory Legendaries, Dialga and Palkia, can’t be caught until you’ve conquered the Pokémon League, and others ask even more and won’t appear until you’ve registered every Pokémon possible into the Sinnoh Pokédex. Note: There are also three Mythical Pokémon - Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arcues - that have not been added into the game as of the time of this writing. Once they are, we will add them to this list.

The majority of the Legendary Pokémon can be found in either version of the game and will either be hidden around the overworld, underground, or in the Ramanas Park area, which is new to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Ramanas Park is where all of the version-exclusive Legendary Pokémon will be found and can only be accessed after beating the main game. This Pokémon can be found at Lake Verity, close to where you start the game.

Once you’ve beaten the Elite Four, this area will open up, and you can find Mesprit inside the cavern at this location. You will interact with it first, which counts as logging it in your Pokédex, but flee.

To actually get a chance of catching it, you will need to track it down a second time by using the Marking Map app in your Pokétech.
