Legendary Locations Guide — Where to Find Every Legendary in Pokémon Infinite Fusion

Legendary Pokémon are the ultimate prizes in Pokémon Infinite Fusion. With 28 legendaries available to catch across Kanto, Johto, and beyond, tracking them all down is one of the game’s biggest post-game challenges. But most legendaries are hidden behind specific quests, items, and story triggers that the game never fully explains.

This guide covers every legendary location in Pokémon Infinite Fusion — where to find each one, what you need to unlock the encounter, and tips for actually catching them. Whether you are hunting Mewtwo in Cerulean Cave or chasing the roaming beasts across Johto, you will find everything here.

How Legendaries Work in Infinite Fusion

Before the locations, three important rules:

• Most legendaries are post-game only. With the exception of the Kanto legendary birds and Entei, nearly every legendary can only be obtained after beating the Elite Four and entering the post-game.
• Many require quest chains. Unlike random encounters, most legendaries are unlocked through multi-step quests involving NPCs, key items, and specific locations. You cannot just walk to most of them.
• Legendaries can be fused. Once caught, legendary Pokémon can be fused like any other — and legendary fusions are among the strongest in the game. A Mewtwo fusion, for example, is a top-tier competitive pick.

Kanto Legendary Locations

Articuno — Seafoam Islands

The Ice/Flying legendary bird waits in the Seafoam Islands. Navigate through the islands’ puzzle-heavy caves — you will need Strength and Surf to reach the deepest chamber where Articuno sits at a high level. Its Ice typing makes it strong against Dragon, Grass, and Ground types, and its defensive stats let it wall many physical attackers.

Catching tip: Bring a Pokémon with Thunder Wave or Sleep Powder. Articuno’s high defenses mean you will need patience — chip it to red HP, inflict status, and throw Ultra Balls.

Zapdos — Power Plant

The Electric/Flying bird is found in the Power Plant in Kanto. Fight your way through the plant’s trainers and wild Electric types to reach Zapdos at the far end. Its Electric typing and high Special Attack make it a strong offensive pick, especially against Water and Flying types.

Catching tip: Ground types are immune to its Electric moves, giving you safe switch-ins while you wear it down.

Moltres — Victory Road

The Fire/Flying bird is encountered on Victory Road. You will find it in one of the deeper sections of the cave system. Moltres has very high Special Attack and hits Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel types extremely hard. Its Fire typing also gives it useful resistances.

Catching tip: Rock-type moves deal 4x damage — be careful not to knock it out. Use weak neutral moves to chip its HP safely.

Mewtwo — Cerulean Cave (Post-Game)

The most sought-after legendary in the game. After beating the Elite Four, Professor Oak will ask you to visit his colleague Professor Elm in New Bark Town. If you have at least 2 Johto badges, Elm gives you the Berserk Gene, which grants access to Cerulean Cave. Mewtwo waits at the very end of the cave at a very high level.

Mewtwo’s absurd Special Attack and Speed make it the strongest special attacker available. It is a Psychic type with access to an enormous movepool. Save your Master Ball for this encounter if you have one — or prepare for a long battle with status effects and Ultra Balls.

Catching tip: This is a post-game superboss-tier encounter. Bring your strongest team, plenty of healing items, and save before entering the final chamber.

Mew — Special Events

Mew is available through special in-game events rather than a fixed location. Keep an eye on event distributions and post-game event triggers. As a Psychic type that can learn every TM in the game, Mew is one of the most versatile Pokémon available — it can fill literally any role on your team.

Johto Legendary Locations

Raikou, Entei & Suicune — Roaming Johto

The three legendary beasts roam across Johto after being released during the story. They flee from battle on the first turn, making them tricky to catch. Track them using the Pokédex’s roaming indicator, then corner them with a fast Pokémon that knows Mean Look or Block.

• Raikou (Electric) — fast special attacker, strong against Flying and Water types.
• Entei (Fire) — physical powerhouse, one of the few legendaries available before the full post-game.
• Suicune (Water) — defensive wall with Calm Mind, Surf, and Ice Beam. Excellent in long battles.

Catching tip: Use a Pokémon with Arena Trap or Shadow Tag to prevent them fleeing, then whittle them down over multiple encounters — their HP persists between meetings.

Lugia — Whirl Islands

The Psychic/Flying guardian of the seas is found in the Whirl Islands off the Johto coast. You will need Whirlpool (HM) to navigate the islands’ swirling currents and reach Lugia’s chamber. With enormous Defense and Special Defense, Lugia is one of the best defensive walls in the game, and its signature move Aeroblast hits incredibly hard.

Ho-Oh — Tin Tower

The Fire/Flying rainbow bird awaits at the top of Tin Tower in Ecruteak City. Climbing the tower is a gauntlet of strong trainers, so come prepared. Ho-Oh’s Sacred Fire is one of the strongest Fire moves in the game, with a high burn chance that cripples physical attackers.

Celebi — Ilex Forest Shrine (GS Ball Quest)

Celebi requires the longest quest chain of any Johto legendary. First, complete 30 hotel quests — the man on the top floor of hotels will then give you the GS Ball. Take the GS Ball to the shrine in Ilex Forest to trigger the Celebi encounter. This is a significant time investment, but Celebi’s Grass/Psychic typing and balanced stats make it worth the effort.

Other Legendary Locations

Rayquaza — Sky Pillar

Once you have encountered both Groudon and Kyogre, talk to a resident on Kin Island who will take you by boat to Sky Pillar. Climb the tower (a Mach Bike or equivalent speed boost helps with the cracked floors) to encounter Rayquaza at the summit. As a Dragon/Flying type with massive Attack and Special Attack, Rayquaza is one of the strongest offensive legendaries available.

Kyogre — Sapphire Cave

Kyogre’s underwater lair, Sapphire Cave, is accessed by using Dive (HM06) on the diving spot south of Brine Road. Navigate the underwater tunnels to find the Water-type titan. Its Drizzle ability summons rain, boosting its already devastating Water moves.

Groudon — Terra Cave

Groudon’s volcanic chamber is found in the post-game cave systems. Its Drought ability summons harsh sunlight, and its Ground typing with massive Attack makes it a premier physical threat. Check the post-game cave networks after completing the main legendary quests.

Jirachi — Snowpoint City Hotel

Jirachi has one of the most unusual unlock conditions: you must have seen 777 different Pokémon in your Pokédex. Once you hit that number, go to Snowpoint City and sleep at the hotel for one in-game day. When you wake up, Jirachi will appear. Save before sleeping — you can soft-reset for a shiny Jirachi if you are patient.

Arceus — Azure Flute Quest

The longest legendary quest in the game. Start by visiting Mr. Pokémon’s house on Route 30 — he will tell you about Arceus and a strange flute. Then find Eusine in Cherrygrove City, who has six Dittos around a table. Show Eusine a legendary bird or beast you have caught, and one Ditto transforms into it. After showing all six, Eusine gives you the Azure Flute. Take it back to Mr. Pokémon, then play it on the highest peak to reveal the staircase to Arceus.

Tips for Catching Legendaries

• Always save before the encounter. Most legendaries are one-time encounters. If you knock one out, it may be gone for good.
• Status effects are essential. Sleep and paralysis dramatically increase catch rates. False Swipe is the safest way to get a legendary to 1 HP.
• Stock up on Ultra Balls. Bring at least 50 for each legendary hunt. Timer Balls become more effective the longer a battle lasts.
• Use type advantages to stall, not to kill. Resisted moves let you safely chip HP without risking a knockout. Be especially careful with 4x weaknesses.
• For roamers, use trapping abilities. Mean Look, Block, Arena Trap, and Shadow Tag prevent Raikou, Entei, and Suicune from fleeing.
