Roaming Legendaries are the rare apex world hunt layer.
Rotation
- One roaming legendary is featured at a time.
- The featured legendary changes every 2 weeks.
- The current pool is built from the legends that already have questlines in the game.
Current rotation pool:
- Articuno
- Zapdos
- Moltres
- Mewtwo
- Raikou
- Suicune
- Entei
- Ho Oh
- Lugia
Unlock rule
A player does not get roaming rolls automatically.
The player must have already completed the matching legendary questline for the currently featured legend.
Example:
- If the live roamer is Raikou, only players who finished the Raikou questline can roll Raikou in the world.
Encounter rule
Once you are eligible:
- the roaming legend is a 1 in 1,000 replacement roll on world-map encounters
- it uses the current featured legendary for everybody
Battle scaling
The battle version is scaled from your own party power.
- It scales off your highest party Pokemon
- It rolls at roughly 130% to 140% of that Pokemon's level
- It has a minimum battle level of 100
Capture rule
The caught version does not stay at the huge battle level.
Captured roaming legendaries roll into your account at:
- Level 2 to 50
Why the system matters
Roaming Legendaries are meant to be a true world-check moment.
They are not common farming content. They are the kind of thing you want to notice, route into, and remember.
