Catch Legendary and Mythical Pokemon

  • Get to mission set 12.
  • Complete missions 12-1 and beyond until you get Mystical Shells.
  • Use Mystical Shells to make Ambrosia of Legends.

While it’s not super difficult to catch Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Quest, you’ll need to wait until you’re on expedition 12-1 or higher. It’s only on mission 12-1 and higher than you’ll see Legendary Pokemon start to appear as bosses. You won’t always see Legendary Pokemon as bosses when you go on expedition, but there’s at least a chance they’ll show up starting at mission 12-1.

When you defeat a Legendary Pokemon boss, there’s a chance they will drop a Mystical Shell item that you can use to make certain food dishes. Because there’s only a chance you’ll see a Legendary Pokemon boss, and only a chance they will drop a Mystical Shell, you may have to run through several expeditions before you get enough Mystical Shells to make the Ambrosia of Legends.

Ambrosia of Legends Recipes

  • Mystical Shell (1), Anything Else (4)
  • Mystical Shell (2), Anything Else (3)
  • Mystical Shell (3), Anything Else (2)
  • Mystical Shell (4), Anything Else (1)
  • Mystical Shell (5)

If you haven’t already guessed, in order to lure Legendary Pokemon to your base camp, you’ll need to make Ambrosia of Legends. The recipe for Ambrosia of Legends is one Mystical Shell and four of anything else. The more Mystical Shells you use to make Ambrosia, the higher the chances you’ll have at luring Legendary Pokemon to your base camp. Some Legendary Pokemon will only come if you use more than one shell.
