===============================================================================
[2] INTRODUCTION						 [LRG002]
===============================================================================
Allow me to quickly explain something - to "catch" the Pokemon in this game, 
you have to recruit them into your Rescue Team. To do this, you must defeat
them in battle (the final hit being your team leader's hit) and then hope that
they ask to join your rescue team. 

I imagine most of you know what legendary Pokemon are if you've ever played 
another Pokemon game. In case you haven't, though unlikely, legendary Pokemon
are one-of-a-kind Pokemon that are supposedly "extremely rare." Though it 
honestly isn't that hard to find them in any Pokemon game, it's true that there
is only one of their species in a game. There are thirty-five legendary Pokemon 
which is about 7% of all of them. However, only 33 of those legendaries can be
caught in this game, I'm afraid.

As for how they relate to Mystery Dungeon - legendaries tend to be the bosses of
dungeons, or at least they were in MD1 - for many legends, a completely new
system has been built. Though about six or so of these legendaries remain as 
bosses, many can actually be found wandering around on the floors of specific
dungeons with the aid of a special item.

Legendary Pokemon are, for the most part, more powerful than their counterparts
in normal Pokemon. However, they also tend to be a lot bigger and because of 
that you cannot bring as many Pokemon as you'd like to and certainly not four
extremely powerful legendary Pokemon, though it is possible to bring four 
legendaries as some are only 1 or 2 starred in their size rating (you can bring
a maximum size of 6 along). They are also a little harder to recruit in some
cases, but not all.

===============================================================================
[3] USEFUL ADVICE						 [LRG003]
===============================================================================
Recruiting the legendaries is all up to chance, except for a select view - if
you want to recruit them quickly and efficently, you are going to need some 
aids. There are a few items in this game that can help you recruit them and 
to defeat them, as well as some items that can help you get through dungeons.

RECRUITMENT ITEMS
=====================

FRIEND BOW - Equippable Item
-----------------------------
EFFECT: When equipped to the leader Pok�mon, the chance to recruit all Pokemon,
unless unrecruitable, rises by roughly 10%. This is useful but it is the weakest
recruitment item available to you.

LOCATIONS:  Dark Crater, Marine Resort, Mt. Mistral, Zero Isle East, Zero Isle
North (Shops on B60F - B72F).

GOLDEN MASK - Equippable Item
------------------------------
EFFECT: The Golden Mask has the same effect as the Friend Bow, but at a higher
efficency. The Golden Mask, according to a source, "Maximally raises chance of 
recruiting Pokemon." (Note: Although this item is extremely useful, be warned 
that is item is NOT easy to get, just because of where it is located. Zero Isle
North is not an easy dungeon. Though it is the one Zero Isle where you are not
reduced to Level 1, the Wild Pokemon there are very powerful (from what I have
heard, about Level 90 or so) and you do not gain any experience from them.
Although, if you do come to Zero Isle North, rather than trying to get a Friend
Bow I would just go for the Golden Mask.)

LOCATIONS: Zero Isle North B75F. It is just lying on the ground there. Also,
in a Wonder Mail - check the Wonder Mail section for it.

AMBER TEAR - Equippable Item
-----------------------------
EFFECT: The Amber Tear is actually an item with exactly the same effect as the
Golden Mask. However, it is arguably actually harder to get. (Though it is 
located on a lower floor, because it is in Zero Isle West you are reduced to 
Level 1. If you do attempt to get it, good luck.)

LOCATIONS: Zero Isle West, B40F. Like the Golden Mask, the Amber Tear is just
lying on the ground. (Thanks, Brody.)

BATTLE HELPING ITEMS
=====================

REVIVER SEED - Automatic Item
------------------------------
EFFECT: When you have one of these in your bag, any Pokemon in your team that
happens to faint will automatically be revived with full HP and PP. The only
drawback is that each Reviver Seed can only be used once. These are extremely
useful items, in any situation, not just legendaries.

LOCATIONS: They're found in quite a lot of dungeons, honestly. I've found quite
a few in Labyrinth Cave, myself (you need a Wonder Mail to unlock that dungeon
btw) and you can also sometimes by them from Kecleon's shop in Treasure Town for
800 Poke each. In addition, there are three boxes on Surrounded Sea B20F that
you can pick up and each one contains a Reviver Seed. Also, in Tiny Meadow, on
4F there are two boxes and the left one MAY hold a Reviver Seed.

You can also get Reviver Seeds by doing sentry duty once you have completed
Mystifying Forest. If you get a perfect score on the sentry duty, a Reviver
Seed will always be one of the three items you receive.

X-EYE SEED - Throwable Item
----------------------------
EFFECT: The X-Eye Seed is a useful item as it causes a Pokemon to start halluc-
inating and move around randomly, completely preventing attack. The effect also
lasts for quite a few turns so it is a very useful item.

LOCATIONS: Random dungeons. There isn't really a specific location where they
can be found, as far as I'm aware.

SLEEP SEED - Throwable Item
----------------------------
EFFECT: In the same vein as the X-Eye Seed, the Sleep Seed can cause a Pokemon
to become incapacitated for a few turns, but for this item in the form of 
sleep. This item should work on any Pokemon except for those who have the 
Insomnia or Vital Spirit traits and it gives you a fair few turns to let loose
attacks as well.

LOCATIONS: Random dungeons, notably Beach Cave, actually.

STUN SEED - Throwable Item
---------------------------
EFFECT: The Stun Seed will petrify one Pokemon. When petrified, a Pokemon can 
not move until the Petrify effect goes away - which is whenever the Pokemon
is hit by anything that changes anything to do with the Pokemon, such as stats
or HP. This means things such as Sandstorm and stat boosters such as Acupressure
can cause the petrify effect to wear off.

LOCATIONS: Random dungeons and again notably Beach Cave.

PETRIFY ORB - Usable Item
--------------------------
EFFECT: The Petrify Orb is an item that is particuarly useful for Monster
Houses. When a Petrify Orb is used, all Pokemon in the same room as you will 
immediately become petrified and cannot move again until they are attacked.
However, be warned that should there be a Sandstorm or Hail, or if a Pokemon
comes in the room and uses Acupressure/Agility or something, the Petrify Orb's
effect will wear off. PLEASE NOTE THAT ORBS CANNOT BE USED IN BOSS BATTLES.

LOCATIONS: Random dungeons.

SPURN ORB - Usable Item
------------------------
EFFECT: The Spurn Orb is another good item for Monster Houses. When used, all
enemy Pokemon in the same room as you will be warped to another place on the 
map, seperately. This means that you can take them mostly one at the time 
rather than the nine or ten or so at a time as before. PLEASE NOTE THAT ORBS
CANNOT BE USED IN BOSS BATTLES.

LOCATIONS: Random dungeons.

===============================================================================
[5] REGULAR LEGENDS						 [LRG005]
===============================================================================
All of the legendaries in this section can be obtained without needing a
Mystery Part or Secret Slab or a Wonder Mail password to get their dungeon.
Please note that every legendary here must still have a certain condition
fulfilled to get them, however.

Also, all Pokemon that have a 100% chance of recruitment will recruit no matter
how the battle ends - as in, even if a partner defeats them, they will still
request to join the team.

KEY FOR DIFFICULTY:
- Guaranteed is a guaranteed 100% chance.
- Very Easy means that they will come with you most of the time.
- Easy means that they can be recruited fairly easily.
- Hard means that they can be recruited with a little difficulty.
- Very Hard means that they are very difficult to recruit.
- N/A means the Pokemon recruits with some other event rather than a battle.

==================================
#483 DIALGA                 [5.01] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #483
LOCATION: Temporal Tower Summit
TYPE: Steel / Dragon
LEVEL: 48
ABILITY: Pressure
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Guaranteed

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT:
- You must come back to the summit after the credits have rolled.

COMMENTS
---------
Dialga is the third legendary you will actually battle, after the Groudon at
Fogbound Lake and Mesprit. When you first battle Dialga atop Temporal Tower
Summit, he will be Primal Dialga - a Dialga with a different colour scheme
and a crazy personality. Otherwise, he's pretty much the same. 

A lot of people have trouble with Dialga because of Roar of Time. Roar of Time
is a move similar to Discharge, in that when Dialga uses it ALL of your Pokemon
will take damage and the power isn't split either. Though it won't usually OHKO
you unless it gets a critical hit, it can cause some serious damage and since
it can hit both of your Pokemon, you may not have a chance to recover the health
of all Pokemon so I highly recommend you bring some Reviver Seeds when battling
against this beast.

You may also want to use utilties such as X-Eye Seeds and Sleep Seeds to stop
Dialga even using Roar of Time. In addition, if you can find a Dig TM, teaching
the move to one of your Pokemon can help a lot against Dialga. 

After you beat Primal Dialga, Dialga will change back to his normal blue colour.
Soon after, the credits will roll. After the credits, you can go to the beach
below Treasure Town and talk to Lapras. Lapras will take you and your partner
(ONLY you and your partner, however) to the Hidden Land, so you'll have to go
through the Hidden Land and the interior of it again. Once you beat it, you
will be asked if you want to continue to Temporal Tower - say yes. Get through
it, get to the top, and battle Dialga.

This time, Dialga... will be absolutely the same. The only difference is that 
you have probably risen a few levels since the last fight. Use the same tactics
and you should be able to get past the 800 or so HP that Dialga has (both times
you battle it.) After defeating it again, you will get an option asking you if
you want to let Dialga join your team. Obviously, pick yes, and you will have
recruited Dialga!

==================================
#480 UXIE                  [5.02] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #480
LOCATION: Steam Cave Summit
TYPE: Psychic
LEVEL: 42
ABILITY: Levitate
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Guaranteed

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must come back to the summit after the credits have rolled.

COMMENTS

Uxie is one of the fourth generation's legendary trio protecting a Time Gear.
The first time you see Uxie, you'll have just beaten a fake Groudon. Uxie will
not actually fight you the very first time you see it, instead letting you gaze
upon the beautiful sight of the Fogbound Lake. The Groudon before can be a bit
difficult at Level 30, but it isn't too difficult to prevail against.

If you come back up to the summit after the credits roll, Uxie will, for some
odd reason, not recognize you and challenge you to a fight. Uxie is honestly
not that tough - just four or five powerful attacks should be sufficent to 
defeat it. Just beating it will cause it to ask to join your rescue team - 
say yes and you've recruited Uxie!

==================================
#481 MESPRIT                [5.03] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #481
LOCATION: Quicksand Cave, Underground Lake
TYPE: Psychic
LEVEL: 42
ABILITY: Levitate
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Guaranteed

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must come back to the lake after the credits have rolled.

COMMENTS
---------
The very first time you see Mesprit, she will challenge you to a battle but 
at this time in the game, Mesprit is only Level 18. Mesprit isn't that hard
to beat at this point so you should prevail with ease. 

Later on in the game after you've seen the credits, come back to the lake and
Mesprit will challenge you again, this time at a new and improved Level 42. 
But she's still not very difficult - strong attacks will do. Like Uxie, Mesprit
will ask to join your team. Say yes, you recruit Mesprit, etc.

==================================
#482 AZELF                  [5.04] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #482
LOCATION: Crystal Crossing, Crystal Lake
TYPE: Psychic
LEVEL: 42
ABILITY: Levitate
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Guaranteed

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must come back to the lake after the credits have rolled.

COMMENTS
---------
The first time you see Azelf, he'll have already been defeated and instead 
you'll have to face Grovyle who is at a whopping Level 46. Of course, if you
have Fire or Flying attacks defeating Grovyle shouldn't be that hard.

Like the other two in the trio, come back after the credits and Azelf will
challenge you to a battle at Level 42. Same process, same recruitment question.
You get the idea.

==================================
#378 REGICE                 [5.05] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #378
LOCATION: Aegis Cave, Regice's Room
TYPE: Ice
LEVEL: 46
ABILITY: Clear Body
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must come back after you have unlocked the Concealed Cave.

COMMENTS
---------
Regice is located in Aegis Cave, the spawn of hell. If you don't know, within
Aegis Cave there are Unown and you have to get Unown Stones, each one having
the letter of the Unown it drops from, to spell out the words on the stone
slab in the hubs of Aegis Cave. When you first come in, it will show you the
word "ICE" in Unown writing. Then within the Ice Maze, you must get one "I" 
Unown stone, one "C" Unown stone and one "E" Unown stone. After getting these
three and getting back to the hub (which is achieved by simply completing the
maze) you have to talk to the stone and "submit your proof". It will then 
disappear and you can go down to fight Regice.

Unfortunately, this cruel thing that they like to call a puzzle must be done
again EVERY SINGLE TIME you defeat Regigigas again. This means that since you
must defeat Regigigas to unlock Concealed Cave, you must recollect the stones 
to form the word ICE at least twice. By at least, I mean that you may have to
do it more times. It all depends whether you get Regice or not. Personally,
I had to try twice to recruit it, not including the battle on the first 
runthrough of Aegis Cave.

Make sure you defeat Regice with your leader and after you are granted the
guardian's permission Regice may reappear and ask to join your team. If Regice
doesn't, bad luck - you'll just have to collect the stones and try to recruit
it again. For this reason, I highly recommend you bring a Golden Mask or Amber
Tear along when trying to recruit it.

==================================
#377 REGIROCK               [5.06] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #378
LOCATION: Aegis Cave, Regirock's Room
TYPE: Rock
LEVEL: 46
ABILITY: Clear Body
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must come back after you have unlocked the Concealed Cave.

COMMENTS
---------
The way to get Regirock is almost identical to Regice. The only difference is
that you must get Unown Stones to form the word "ROCK" instead.

==================================
#379 REGISTEEL              [5.07] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #378
LOCATION: Aegis Cave, Registeel's Room
TYPE: Steel
LEVEL: 46
ABILITY: Clear Body
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must come back after you have unlocked the Concealed Cave.

COMMENTS
---------
Again, Registeel is obtained in a similar way to the other two Regi. The only
difference is that you must spell out the word "STEEL" instead.

==================================
#486 REGIGIGAS              [5.08] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #486
LOCATION: Aegis Cave, Regigigas' Room
TYPE: Normal
LEVEL: 49
ABILITY: Slow Start
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Guaranteed

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must come back after you have unlocked the Concealed Cave.

COMMENTS
---------
Regigigas is slightly different in that rather than spell out something like
"GIGAS" you go into the deep part of Aegis Cave as soon as you defeat Registeel.
After going through five floors you will encounter Regigigas... along with 
a quartet of Hitmonlee AND a quartet of Bronzong.

Unfortunately, you have to beat these Hitmonlee and Bronzong to finish the 
battle. The first time you battle Regigigas and its henchmen, Team Charm will
be with you. However, any subsequent time, you'll be by yourself.

Of course, you can only get Regigigas on a subsequent time. So be sure to bring
some Reviver Seeds because if you get killed by one of the Hitmonlee, you will
be very, very annoyed. At least, I was. It wouldn't be so bad IF YOU DIDN'T 
LOSE ALMOST ALL YOUR ITEMS. Plus if you decide to restart your game to get
said items back, then you have to collect all of the Unown Stones again. I
swear that Aegis Cave is the most annoying dungeon in the game, although
Concealed Ruins is a close second.

To make the battle easier, a move with the ability to hit all opponents in a
room such as Discharge or Roar of Time is recommended.

Anyway, the second time you battle Regigigas and the henchmen, after you 
commit mass murder upon them, Regigigas will request to join your team after
the battle. Thankfully, at least this Pokemon is 100%. 

==================================
#484 PALKIA                 [5.09] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #484
LOCATION: Spacial Rift Bottom
TYPE: Water / Dragon
LEVEL: 48
ABILITY: Pressure
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Guaranteed

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must have defeated Palkia before at least once.

COMMENTS
---------
Sometime after Cresselia appears to you in your dreams, Palkia will come and
drag you off to Spacial Rift. Palkia is very similar to Dialga in that it also
has an attack that is strong and can kill off all your Pokemon at once - Spacial
Rend. Reviver Seeds are a must, as are Sleep and X-Eye Seeds. Palkia is also a
lot harder to type trump, as Dragon is its only weakness. You'll probably just 
have to go for neutral moves or failing that, moves that are x0.5 effective as
opposed to x0.25 like Water and Fire.

Whenever you can visit Spacial Rift again - which I THINK is after you defeat
Darkrai - get to the bottom, defeat Palkia once more and it will ask to join
your team, 100% guaranteed.

Note that you must recruit Palkia to evolve your starters, so it is highly 
recommended you recruit Palkia as soon as you can.

POKEDEX NUMBER: #488

TYPE: Psychic
LEVEL: 47
ABILITY: Levitate
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: -

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- Clear the Dark Crater and defeat Darkrai.

COMMENTS
---------
Cresselia is different in that you do not recruit it until after you have fought
alongside it. When you first go to the Dark Crater to challenge Darkrai, Cress
will appear as one of your partners at Level 47 which is probably lower than
you are at that time. As far as I know you have to keep Cresselia alive as well
as your two Pokemon so don't let it get too weak. You CAN feed it Oran Berries
during the expedition to the Dark Crater.

After you defeat Darkrai, the usual celebration will happen and then you'll go
to sleep. The next morning, go out of your base and you should see Cresselia
sitting by the edge of the cliff, gazing out at the sea. Talk to her and after
some conversation, she'll ask to join you. Say yes, obviously.

ABILITY: Hydration
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: -

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- Clear the Miracle Sea and obtain the Phione Dew.

COMMENTS
---------
After you have fulfilled the requirement as seen above, come back to Miracle
Sea and battle your way back down to the bottom. When you arrive, the Phione
will notice you and one will come out of the group, asking to join your team.
Say yes, like usual.

You may also want to note that the very first time you find the Phione, you
will be forced to defeat a Gyarados. It isn't too tough but keep some supplies
at the ready, just in case.

RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: -

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- Defeat Darkrai and wait.

COMMENTS
---------
Though you will have said goodbye to Manaphy long before you beat Darkrai,
about three days after you defeat Darkrai and you go out of your base, Chatot
will come running to you telling you that Manaphy is on the beach. The two of
you will rush towards the beach and find that Manaphy IS there, just looking 
out at the sea. Upon seeing the two of you, Manaphy will jump for joy and 
come to you and your partner, talking in fluent speech (I don't know what
language speak, really. They just display it as English. Or whatever language
your game is). 

After you see Manaphy, you will go back to your base and Manaphy will be asked
what he wants to do next. Manaphy tells you that it pondered lots of options
and decided on wanting to join your rescue team. Again, say yes and you'll have
recruited the lovable Manaphy!

==================================
#385 JIRACHI                [5.13] 
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #385
LOCATION: Final Maze B23F
TYPE: Psychic
LEVEL: 45
ABILITY: Serene Grace
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Hard

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must have unlocked the Marine Resort.

COMMENTS
---------
Jirachi is probably one of the most annoying Pokemon to recruit in this game.
The Final Maze is found in Marowak's Dojo after you defeat the game. It is a
long maze with 48 floors and you aren't allowed to bring in items. Even after
you get to Jirachi and possibly recruit it, there is no guarantee that you'll
get out immediately unless you happen to pick up an Escape Orb. Luckily, you
can also kill yourself and you won't lose the items you picked up within the
maze - just your money.

Either way, when you enter the maze you must survive until you reach B23F. 
B23F is different to the rest of the maze in that it has a grass-like scenery.
If you've unlocked Marine Resort, Jirachi will be wandering around somewhere on
the floor. Search for it and hopefully you'll be able to find it. It isn't
terribly hard to OHKO, but make absolutely sure the team leader is the one to
defeat Jirachi otherwise you will have no chance of recruiting it. Patience is
needed to recruit Jirachi - it could take up to 10 tries to recruit it, if not
more. As you cannot bring a recruitment helping item into the Final Maze, your
level is the only thing that you can use to influence the recruitment rate.
Good luck.

In addition, if you want to know how Jirachi is recruited exactly, it just
asks to join your rescue team like any other Wild Pokemon.

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT

COMMENTS
---------
Suicune is the same as Jirachi except a little bit lower. It wanders around
B29F like Jirachi as long as you've unlocked the Marine Resort and B29F is also
decorated in accordance with Suicune, with the same palette as Northwind Field
in Mystery Dungeon RRT and BRT. Thankfully, Suicune is a fair bit easier to
recruit than Jirachi, so even though its six floors lower it might actually
cause you less frustration.

Again, Suicune isn't too tough, but you have to hope for the best when trying
to recruit it. It took me about four or five tries to recruit it, personally.

#146 MOLTRES                [5.15]

POKEDEX NUMBER: #146

LEVEL: 45
ABILITY: Pressure
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT
- You must have unlocked the Marine Resort.

COMMENTS
---------
Moltres is further down again, all the way on B40F. B40F is decorated with a
fire theme, with the same palette as MD1's Magma Cavern. The worst part about
Moltres is that the floor tends to take on a maze-like structure which makes
it ridiculously hard to actually find on the floor since Moltres will be moving
all the time as well. The very first time I came to B40F I couldn't actually
recruit it BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND THE DAMN THING. Though the second time I
found it and recruited it. It's pretty lucky that they made Moltres fairly 
easy to recruit compared to the other two.

As with the other two, good luck. 

===============================================================================
[6] ITEM-ASSISTED LEGENDS					[LRG006]
===============================================================================
A lot of legendaries in MD2 require the use of a Secret Slab or a Mystery Part,
both of which can only be gotten as rewards for doing a rescue mission. If you
are in need of either, take a look at the Wonder Mail section. Note that for
these legendaries you need the Secret Slab OR the Mystery Part - you do not 
need both. Also, as long as the conditions are filled and the item you have
chosen is just IN YOUR TREASURE BAG, then the legendary will be on the floor
like a normal Wild Pokemon. If you want to make sure, check the Recruitable
Pokemon in the options. You do NOT use the Mystery Part or Secret Slab. Using 
it will just cause it to break and disappear - nothing else will happen.

The majority of these legendaries require you to have unlocked the Marine Resort
before they will appear. The Marine Resort is unlocked about three days after
you recruit Manaphy. 

Just to clarify, all legendaries in this section will just appear as normal
Wild Pokemon - the floor will not change into a special boss floor or anything
like that. Basically, they appear like Mew did in Mystery Dungeon R/B, except
with a 100% chance on a certain floor rather than the 0.95% chance or so Mew
had of appearing on the many floors of Buried Relic.

COMMENTS

Lugia is the first legendary I encountered that needs the use of an item.
Any time you get Surrounded Sea, even the very first time, Lugia will be 
wandering around on B18F.

*** I am not particularly sure on the recruit rate for Lugia. Though all of
the guides say Very Easy it really doesn't seem all that easy to recruit.
Admittedly, I tried about five times myself before I gave up and ended up
getting a Golden Mask to recruit it with.

Ho-oh is a phoenix Pokemon who will also appear on a floor. As you can see, I'm
not completely sure if you need Marine Resort or not, but judging by Lugia you
probably don't. Please note that Mt. Mistral must be unlocked via a mission
from the boards in the guild - check the Wonder Mail section for a mission that
will unlock Mt. Mistral.

COMMENTS

Raikou is one of the three legendary beasts and is located in one of the most
annoying dungeons in the game. Why is it annoying? DAMN EARTH POWER NIDOQUEENS
EVERYWHERE. Earth Power is a move that hits everyone in the room and it is
annoyingly powerful - be careful. Make sure you bring some Reviver Seeds just
in case - the fact Super Effective moves tend to have critical hits alongside
them now just makes Earth Power that more annoying.

Entei is the fire legendary beast and is located very deep within the Dark

isn't really anything you need to keep a watch out for the Dark Crater, but
be careful all the while. You may be able to get Entei on your first visit
but I'm not completely sure.

COMMENTS

Deoxys is located quite late in Shimmer Hill (there's 18 floors in total) and
it's not even easy to recruit. Oh dear. Good luck getting it. You may also want
to note that Shimmer Hill must be unlocked via a mission from the notice board.
Again, check the Wonder Mail section if you need to unlock it.

An interesting tidbit is that having a Mystery Part or Secret Slab in your bag
also causes Deoxys to appear in Temporal Tower. However, they are only mirages
of Deoxys - they are not the real thing by any means. You can find them in 
attack, defense or speed forms and they also give adequate EXP. These mirages
will continue to appear even after you recruit Deoxys, surprisingly. (Thank you
to "Trainer Arcadia" for this info!)

Latias is one of the Hoenn dragons. It actually appears in two dungeons. You

Latios is the other dragon and brother to Latias. You may want to try getting

- You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag.

COMMENTS
--------
Mewtwo can also be found in two dungeons and it is unique in the fact that you
can only find Mewtwo if you are playing the Darkness version, as opposed to the
Time version. Though a higher level than Celebi, Mewtwo appears to be a lot
harder to recruit into your team. Luckily Dark Crater's B6F isn't too hard to
get to, so I'd recommend trying to get it there.

** Mewtwo was available in Time at one point over WFC, but the Wonder Mail has
unfortunately been taken down since. It is once again impossible to get it in
Time unless you have some sort of cheating/hacking device like an AR.

COMMENTS

Unlike Mewtwo, Celebi can only be found in Explorers of Time and only in one
dungeon. However, Celebi is a LOT easier to recruit than its Darkness counter-
part. A bit lower levelled maybe, but still. Celebi only has about 140 HP, so
a strong attack should be sufficent to knock it out and hopefully, recruit it.

** Celebi was available in Darkness at one point over WFC, but the Wonder Mail
has unfortunately been taken down since. It is once again impossible to get it
in Darkness unless you have some sort of cheating/hacking device like an AR.

ABILITY: Bad Dreams
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Hard

CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT:
- You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag.
- You mustf have the Marine Resort unlocked.

COMMENTS **SOME STORY SPOILERS**
---------------------------------
Of course, you end up battling Darkrai in the Dark Crater at some point. You
win as per usual and Darkrai tries to escape to a different time.

However, while he was in the time portal he created, Palkia shattered the way
which Darkrai tried to go and like your own character, Darkrai ended up losing
his memory. Considering that it was because of Darkrai that your own character
lost his/her memory in the first place, it's quite ironic.

Anyway, as "nobody knows where Darkrai went", Darkrai can actually be found
in a whopping five locations. No matter the game, it can be found in all five.
Just as long as you've got the Marine Resort unlocked.

I would personally recommend Miracle Sea B3F - it took me quite a few tries
to recruit Darkrai myself, but because B3F is so easy to get to it didn't
actually take me too long to do. You may want to be careful as Darkrai can
go through walls, despite not being a Ghost-type, so it can catch you off-guard.
Or accidents can happen. For example, the very first time I tried to recruit
Darkrai, it came through the wall. I had to walk forward to get it out of the
wall, but then my Raichu decided to kill it. No chance of recruiting that time.

But that's enough ranting. Basically, just go to any of the five locations,
have the item in your bag, and you should be able to find Darkrai on the floor
somewhere. But don't expect to recruit it first try.

===============================================================================
[7] WONDER MAIL LEGENDS						 [LRG007]
===============================================================================
Wonder Mail legendaries are the "guardians of the seven treasures." The seven
dungeons they lie in can ONLY be unlocked via Wonder Mail codes - they won't
appear on the Mission Board randomly or anything like that. There is also
an eighth dungeon with a Gabite called Labyrinth Cave, but that has nothing to
do with the legendaries.

The seven dungeons each hold an item that helps the recruitment rate of certain
types of Pokemon and they are all varying lengths. The seven dungeons where the
treasures are held are: Shimmer Desert, Giant Volcano, Sky Stairway, Bottomless
Sea, Mystery Jungle, Mt. Avalanche and World Abyss. The amount of floors
varies from 10 to a whopping 50. None of these dungeons have interiors though.

The Wonder Mail passwords for these can be found in the Wonder Mail section.

Please note that I am not completely sure about the recruitment rate for these
Pokemon but based on personal experience I think that they all classify as
Very Easy. However, I highly recommend you bring a Golden Mask with you to
recruit them as going through 50 floors again is very trying on your patience.

In addition, the treasures you find have the same effect as the Golden Mask
or Amber Tear but only for one specific type.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
******************************************************************************
There are no conditions for these Pokemon except for one - you cannot open the
letters you get from the Wonder Mails to find out about the dungeon until you
have at least rescued Scizor from Froslass in Crevice Cave.
******************************************************************************
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After you defeat each of these Pokemon, there will be some light effects and
a small treasure box will appear with the item of that dungeon.  After your
team leader collects this item, there is a chance of the legendary Pokemon you
defeated reappearing in the room and asking to join you. If they don't appear
straight after you collect the item and you get returned to Treasure Town,
you will simply have to go back to where they are and try to recruit them 
again.

It should be noted that you can also now download these missions from Mystery
Dungeon's Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If it is not there, it may only be on
American versions of the games. (since I have a US one, myself) I don't know
though - confirmation would be nice.

COMMENTS
--------
Articuno isn't too hard to get to, located after you go through a total of 19
floors of Mt. Avalanche. A Fire Pokemon is the obvious choice to go through
Mt. Avalanche and also defeat Articuno. Every time you defeat Articuno, you
will receive the Icy Flute, an item that increases the recruitment rate of
Ice types.

COMMENTS
--------
Mystery Jungle is a grass-type filled dungeon with 29 floors as well as the
interior, so once again a Fire-type is recommended. Mew itself isn't very hard
to beat at all. For beating Mew you will get the Grass Cornet, an item which
increases the recruitment rate of Grass Pokemon.

RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy

COMMENTS
--------
After a total of 49 floors you will find Kyogre, a legendary water Pokemon who
according to myth, shaped the sea and ocean. As a Water-type Pokemon & dungeon,
defeating Kyogre will net you the Aqua-Monica, an item which increases the
chance of recruiting Water Pokemon. You better hope Kyogre joins you though, as
going through 49 floors again is quite a pain.

COMMENTS
--------
Groudon is certainly the easiest Wonder Mail legendary to get to as Shimmer
Desert only has a total of 9 floors. Groudon itself isn't terribly strong but
of course it is stronger than the Groudon you faced back at Fogbound Lake all
that time ago. Just keep at it. Defeating Groudon will reward you with an 
Earth Cymbal, an item that can increase the chance of recruiting Ground Pokemon.

COMMENTS

Rayquaza is the other legendary found after a 49 floor dungeon. Ice attacks will
work wonders but they aren't needed by any means. Defeating Rayquaza will earn
you a Sky Melodica, which increases the chance of recruiting Flying Pokemon.

#485 HEATRAN		    [7.06]
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #485
LOCATION: Giant Volcano Summit
TYPE: Fire / Steel

ABILITY: Flash Fire
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy

COMMENTS
--------
Heatran is fairly easy to get as Giant Volcano is only 19 floors, not including
the summit. Fire Pokemon are found by the dozen so you may want to bring a
Water type along with you. Be careful not to use Fire moves on Heatran as it
will do nothing except allow it to kill you a lot easier. Defeating Heatran
will reward you with the Fiery Drum, an item which can help you recruit Fire
Pokemon.

==================================
#487 GIRATINA   	    [7.07]
==================================
POKEDEX NUMBER: #487
LOCATION: World Abyss Pit

LEVEL: 48
ABILITY: Pressure
RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy

COMMENTS
--------
Giratina is in a fairly medium-sized dungeon, with a total of 29 floors to go
through before you reach Giratina. It appears to be the third in a Dialga and
Palkia trio and has the types and level to match. Target Giratina with Ghost,
Dragon or Ice moves if possible. Defeating Giratina will earn you an item called
the Rock Horn, which increases the recruitment rate for Rock Pokemon.

[10] FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS                			[LRG010]
===============================================================================
Questions that I've been asked in e-mails will be placed here.

Q: In order to get Manaphy and Marine Resort, you have to fight Darkrai? Where 
do you find it?
******************************************************************************
A: Right at the end of the post-credits storyline you fight Darkrai at the
Dark Crater, after going through roughly 30 floors. You have to fight Darkrai
as well as five others at once.

Q: How do you unlock Marine Resort?
******************************************************************************
A: After you have completed the second story by defeating Darkrai and his
minions in the Dark Crater, you will just be doing missions normally. Sleep
for about three or four nights, making sure you do at least one mission and
Manaphy should appear one morning. After a fairly long cutscene it will ask
to join your team. Then, do the same thing again (sleep with one mission) for
about three days and Manaphy should come to talk to you one morning, telling
you that it found the Marine Resort. You can then go to it.

Q: How do I evolve my starters?
******************************************************************************
A: You must unlock Marine Resort and also recruit Palkia. You do not need to
recruit Dialga, however.

Q: Is there any easier way to recruit Darkrai?
******************************************************************************
A: Unfortunately, no. A friend recruitment item and level is all you have.

Q: Is there a wondermail that makes Mewtwo/Celebi appear in Explorers of ____?
******************************************************************************
A: At one point in time (roughly around June) there was a Wonder Mail on the 
WFC servers for Mystery Dungeon 2 which allowed you to recruit Mewtwo or Celebi.
However, these Wonder Mails have since been taken down and it doesn't appear 
that they will be back up. There is no Wonder Mail code for them, either; the
only way to get them now is via something such as an Action Replay.

Q: If you KO a legendary pokemon and fail to recruit it, does it continue to 
reappear in its appropriate location, or does it disappear forever?
******************************************************************************
A: Legendaries will keep appearing in the same place until you recruit them.
As long as you're capable of traveling to that particular place again, you can
have as many chances as you like at recruiting them. 

Q: Do Shaymin and Arceus exist in Mystery Dungeon 2?
******************************************************************************
A: Unfortunately, no. Mystery Dungeon has all Pokemon from Bulbasaur to Darkrai
but not those two.

Q: I can't find any Blue Gummis! Where are they?
******************************************************************************
A: Though the game says they're found in Craggy Coast, they never seem to be.
I recommend taking a look at ZombieInfection's Wonder Mail FAQ on GameFAQs as
there are a few Wonder Mails for Blue Gummis in there.

Q: It says I'm not ready for a dungeon. How can I get in?
******************************************************************************
A: Most likely, you need to rescue Scizor from Crevice Cave. You may also just
plain need to get a little further in the game.

If you wish to contact me, feel free to e-mail me. My e-mail address is:

I will try and reply to your e-mails as soon as possible, as long as they are
actually about the FAQ. Preferably, please place something about this FAQ within
your title.

I'd rather not be asked to rescue you or anything like that. Please keep e-mails
to either questions or other tidbits about the FAQ, such as corrections. 

I'm allowing requests for this guide to be used on other websites at the current
time, but please make sure that your site is something that I would want to
put my guide up at, rather than some random freewebs site with about 5 visitors
and nobody else.

[12] Copyright Information & Credits	                 	[LRG012]
===============================================================================
Finally, the last section of this FAQ. I don't have too many people to thank
this time around but alas, I'll include the ones that I do have some thanks
towards.

SEREBII.NET - One of the most comprehensive Pokemon sites on the web, the site's
ability to get news even from across the sea helped in getting the passwords
needed for the seven legendaries that need Wonder Mails. The vast amount of
information the site held also came in particuarly useful.

GAMEFAQS.COM - Thank you for hosting my FAQ and all that. Particuarly, thanks
to ZombieInfection, the writer of the Wonder Mail FAQ on GameFAQs. Without that
I probably wouldn't have been able to get the Midnight Forest and Shimmer Hill
passwords. So, thanks.

S2DARKRAIS2 - Someone who recently appeared on SerebiiForums bringing especially
useful Wonder Mails with him, including that one with the Golden Mask. He even
offered to rescue me quite recently actually, although someone else rescued me
instead. But thanks to him, Golden Masks aren't such a rarity anymore.

DRAGONFOXPAL & JJGILL (?) - Both of these people confirmed which Pokemon
did not require the Marine Resort to encounter. Thanks.

Also, thank you to many people for testing out the three turn theory that had
been presented on the GameFAQs message boards. It appears that the method does
_not_ work. In addition, thank you to the many people who have noticed errors
in the FAQ and enabled me to correct them.
