Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Legendaries: Miraidon & Koraidon
Where to find Miraidon and Koraidon
The two box legendary Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet are Miraidon and Koraidon, which players will initially gain access to right at the start of the game.
You can find the second version of your game’s box legendary after you’ve battled it at the end of the Area Zero quest.
Because you can never trade the legendary you get at the start of the game, if you’re looking to complete your Pokedex, you’ll have to catch the other one and trade with a friend.
The extra Miraidon or Koraidon is just to the side of the area you battled it in the post-game.
Miraidon and Koraidon’s forms and how to upgrade
Miraidon or Koraidon will change into three different forms as the game progresses.
These three forms are:
- Running (when travelling on land)
- Swimming (when travelling in water)
- Gliding (when travelling in the air)
In order to regain Miraidon and Koraidon’s powers and upgrade their abilities, you’ll need to take on the Path of Legends and defeat the various Titan Pokemon lurking in the world map. Doing so will unlock their dash, swimming, high jump, gliding and climbing abilities.
How to use Miraidon and Koraidon in battle
In order to unlock the ability to use Miraidon and Koraidon in battle, you’ll need to play through the main story quest lines until you approach the end of the game.
Doing so will unlock a new quest sending you to Area Zero, which is where you will unlock Miraidon and Koraidon’s battle forms.
In order to activate this, you will need to have a free slot in your Pokemon party.
