Legendary Pokémon have become a staple of the Pokémon games. As such, Pokémon Heart Gold & Pokémon Soul Silver have a massive variety of Legendary Pokémon available within them. This page details all the legendary Pokémon and how you can get them.

Stationary Legendary Pokémon

The first type of Legendary Pokémon we are covering here are the Stationary Legends. These Pokémon are the Pokémon you are able to find just standing around in their various areas. These Pokémon will also come back if you knock them out and then defeat the Elite Four so you have multiple chances to obtain them.

#249 Lugia Lugia is the Diving Pokémon and the star Pokémon of Pokémon Soul Silver. As such, the way you discover it in Soul Silver is through obtaining the Silver Feather after beating Team Rocket and defeating the Kimono Girls. With this, when you go to Whirl Islands and get to the bottom, you will encounter Lugia at Level 45. If you are playing Heart Gold, Lugia is also obtainable at the Whirl Islands, but you need to obtain the Silver Feather from a person in Pewter City. Once you have it, you can go to the bottom of Whirl Islands and Lugia will be there, this time at Level 70. SoulSilver Lugia

#245 Suicune Suicune is somewhat different to the other Legendary Beasts in that it does not roam Johto in the manner Entei & Raikou do. Instead, it is a stationary legendary. However, before you can get it, you must chase it around. At some points in the game, you will meet Eusine and he will follow you as he is also tracking Suicune. Suicune, like Entei & Raikou is released into Johto when you access the basement of the Brass Tower. Suicune is seen in the following places and you must follow it if you wish to capture it. First, it will be found in the north of Cianwood City. After you encounter it there, you will shortly find it outside the entrance of Mt. Mortar in Route 42. Once you find it here, it will leave Johto and head to Kanto where you will see it in Vermillion City soon after you arrive. Next you will see it in Route 14 where it will escape for the final time to be found outside Bill's House in Route 25 after Misty has returned to her gym. This is where you battle Suicune. If you defeat it and don't capture it, it will re-appear at the Burnt Tower when you beat the Elite Four Suicune

#382 Kyogre & #383 Groudon Kyogre & Groudon are both available within this game. To access them, you need to obtain the Blue Orb if in Heart Gold or the Red Orb if in Soul Silver. These orbs are found from Mr. Pokémon after you have obtained the National Dex and received the Kanto starters from Professor Oak. With these orbs in hand, you need to head to a cave in Route 47, the Embedded Tower. Traverse the cave and you will find Kyogre if you're playing Heart Gold or Groudon if you are playing Soul Silver. They are at Level 50 so be prepared. Unlike Lugia & Ho-Oh, you cannot get both Pokémon in one game so you'll have to trade to get both. HeartGold Kyogre

#384 Rayquaza Rayquaza is a legendary Pokémon whom you'll have the most trouble getting. To get Rayquaza, you have to take the Jade Orb to the same cave you obtained Kyogre or Groudon within. However, to get the Jade Orb, you need to have both Kyogre & Groudon. This includes the one you captured in your game and one you obtained in a trade, but captured within the Heart Gold or Soul Silver game only. Once you have these two Pokémon, go to Professor Oak and show them to him. He will give you the Jade Orb. With it, just go to the Embedded Tower and Rayquaza will appear Rayquaza

#483 Dialga, #484 Palkia, #487 Giratina If you bring over the special Arceus given away for the 12th movie, you will unlock Dialga, Palkia or Giratina. This is done by going to the Sinjoh Ruins, hidden somewhere in Johto with Arceus on your team. You will encounter Cynthia who will tell you that Arceus has the ability of creating certain Pokémon. These Pokémon are Dialga, Palkia & Giratina. You have a choice of the Pokémon you can create but you can only create one so choose wisely. However, in addition to that, you can do this event twice. Once with the event Arceus and once with an Arceus obtained at the Hall of Origin in Sinnoh.
