Very little else to say. =============================================================================== [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. =============================================================================== [4] LEGENDARY SUMMARY [LRG004] =============================================================================== This is a quick list of where all the legends are and any other conditions their recruitment requires. Note that for most of the Mystery Part / Secret Slab legendaries and legendaries in the Final Maze, you have to unlock the Marine Resort. Some legendaries can only be recruited the second time onwards you see them, too.

Travail 17F - Spacial Rift B14F - Mystifying Forest 13F =============================================================================== [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. ================================== #488 CRESSELIA [5.10] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #488 LOCATION: Sharpedo Bluff 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. ================================== #489 PHIONE [5.11] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #489 LOCATION: Miracle Sea Bottom TYPE: Water LEVEL: 40 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. ================================== #490 MANAPHY [5.12] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #490 LOCATION: Sharpedo Bluff TYPE: Water LEVEL: 40 ABILITY: Hydration 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. ================================== #245 SUICUNE [5.14] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #245 LOCATION: Final Maze B29F TYPE: Water LEVEL: 45 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT - You must have unlocked the Marine Resort. 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 LOCATION: Final Maze B40F TYPE: Fire / Flying 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. ================================== #249 LUGIA [6.01] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #249 LOCATION: Surrounded Sea B18F TYPE: Psychic / Flying LEVEL: 45 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy*** CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. 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. ================================== #250 HO-OH [6.02] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #250 LOCATION: Mt. Mistral 19F TYPE: Fire / Flying LEVEL: 43 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. COMMENTS --------- 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. ================================== #145 ZAPDOS [6.03] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #145 LOCATION: Amp Plains 7F TYPE: Electric / Flying LEVEL: 49 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. - You must have the Marine Resort unlocked. COMMENTS --------- Zapdos is the only legendary bird that is encountered with the use of an item. I am absolutely certain that Zapdos can only be encountered after the Marine Resort has been unlocked - don't even bother trying to find it before then. ================================== #243 RAIKOU [6.04] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #243 LOCATION: Concealed Cave B20F TYPE: Electric LEVEL: 46 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. 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. ================================== #244 ENTEI [6.05] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #244 LOCATION: Deep Dark Crater B10F TYPE: Fire LEVEL: 47 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. COMMENTS --------- Entei is the fire legendary beast and is located very deep within the Dark Crater. He doesn't even have a Very Easy recruitment chance. Sigh. ;_; There 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. ================================== #386 DEOXYS [6.06] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #386 LOCATION: Shimmer Hill 17F TYPE: Psychic LEVEL: 45 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Hard CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. 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!) ================================== #380 LATIAS [6.07] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #380 LOCATION: Happy Outlook B19F, Spacial Rift B10F TYPE: Dragon / Psychic LEVEL: 44 ABILITY: Levitate RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. - You must have the Marine Resort unlocked. COMMENTS -------- Latias is one of the Hoenn dragons. It actually appears in two dungeons. You may want to try Spacial Rift as Latios also appears there, albeit quite a bit deeper in. If you want to try to get it in Happy Outlook, note that you need a mission to get it. Check the Wonder Mail section. ================================== #381 LATIOS [6.08] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #381 LOCATION: Midnight Forest B24F, Deep Spacial Rift B5F TYPE: Dragon / Psychic LEVEL: 44 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. - You must have the Marine Resort unlocked. COMMENTS -------- Latios is the other dragon and brother to Latias. You may want to try getting Latios in Spacial Rift as you'll have a chance to get Latias as you go through. If you would prefer to try in Midnight Forest, you will need a mission to unlock the dungeon. Check the Wonder Mail section. ================================== #150 MEWTWO [6.09] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #150 LOCATION: Deep Aegis Cave B5F, Dark Crater B6F TYPE: Psychic LEVEL: 50 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Hard CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. - You must have the Marine Resort unlocked. - You must be playing Explorers of DARKNESS. 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. ================================== #251 CELEBI [6.10] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #251 LOCATION: Mystifying Forest 10F TYPE: Grass / Psychic LEVEL: 44 ABILITY: Natural Cure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy CONDITIONS FOR RECRUITMENT: - You must have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your treasure bag. - You must have the Marine Resort unlocked. - You must be playing Explorers of TIME. 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. ================================== #491 DARKRAI [6.11] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #491 LOCATION: Miracle Sea B3F, Deep Crevice Cave B2F, Mt. Travail 17F, Spacial Rift 14F, Mystifying Forest 13F TYPE: Dark LEVEL: 53 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. ================================== #144 ARTICUNO [7.01] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #144 LOCATION: Mt. Avalanche Peak TYPE: Ice / Flying LEVEL: 43 ABILITY: Pressure RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy 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. ================================== #151 MEW [7.02] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #151 LOCATION: Deep Mystery Jungle TYPE: Psychic LEVEL: 46 ABILITY: Synchronize RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy 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. ================================== #382 KYOGRE [7.03] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #382 LOCATION: Bottomless Sea Depths TYPE: Water LEVEL: 49 ABILITY: Drizzle 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. ================================== #383 GROUDON [7.04] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #383 LOCATION: Shimmer Desert Pit TYPE: Ground LEVEL: 49 ABILITY: Drought RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy 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. ================================== #384 RAYQUAZA [7.05] ================================== POKEDEX NUMBER: #384 LOCATION: Sky Stairway Apex TYPE: Dragon / Flying LEVEL: 49 ABILITY: Air Lock RECRUITMENT DIFFICULTY: Very Easy 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 LEVEL: 49 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 TYPE: Ghost / Dragon 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. =============================================================================== [8] WONDER MAIL PASSWORDS [LRG006] =============================================================================== Quite a few legendaries require Wonder Mail passwords to get, whether they are actually Wonder Mail legendaries or if you wish to quicken up the pace getting a dungeon that you need a mission to get.

YOU CAN NOW EVOLVE YOUR STARTERS. !! * ******************************************* =============================================================================== [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. =============================================================================== [11] CONTACT INFORMATION [LRG011] =============================================================================== If you wish to contact me, feel free to e-mail me.

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. + + + As for the Copyright Information, it's the usual stuff.
