Legendary Pokémon in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon hold 49 legendaries, and most of the older ones come late in the game, through Ultra Wormholes into Ultra Space Wilds, split by version: Ho-Oh in Ultra Sun, Lugia in Ultra Moon. Back in Alola, Necrozma waits on Mount Lanakila.

The list

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon legendary list: all 49 legendaries

Nearly every older legendary here comes through an Ultra Wormhole, and none of those is shiny locked. Zygarde and the Alola natives keep fixed spots in caves, ruins and trails.

Gen 1 legendaries (Kanto)

4

The Kanto birds wait behind red warp holes and Mewtwo behind a green one, and neither version misses out on any of them.

Gen 6 legendaries (Kalos)

3

Xerneas is an Ultra Sun wormhole find and Yveltal an Ultra Moon one. Zygarde skips the wormholes: it waits deep inside Resolution Cave after you become Champion.

Where to catch them

How to get every legendary in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

Pick each wormhole by color, since color decides which legendaries can show up, and fly farther toward ringed holes to raise your odds. The Tapus wait in their ruins once you’re Champion.

Version exclusives

Each pair is split across the versions, like Raikou and Entei or Kyogre and Groudon, so the Pokémon that need both halves of a pair can’t appear without a trade.
