Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk DLC welcomed plenty of returning Pokemon, along with some new ones and even a Mythical creature. If you’re trying to complete your Pokedex, here are all the Mythical Pokemon in the game and how to find them.
Most Pokemon fans know that some Pokemon are rarer than others. Still, there’s a special place in the Pokedex for Mythical Pokemon, the type of Legendary creatures that usually require a special event.
Dating back to Mew in Pokemon Red and Blue, mythical Pokemon exist in every generation and every region, though the many different ways of acquiring them have changed over the years.
So, if you want to add the likes of Mew, Jirachi, or even Victini to your Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Pokedex, we’re here to tell you if, how, and then where, you can catch these rare creatures.

Every mythical you can catch in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Sadly, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet don’t allow you to catch many Legendary or Mythical Pokemon natively in the game. These Pokemon are occasionally distributed in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet mystery gift code events.
Elsewhere, if you own the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk DLC, you can work through the main storyline to unlock a total of 25 legendary Pokemon.
This includes the mythical Pokemon Meloetta, and you can learn how to catch Meloetta in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet here, alongside the newest addition, Pecharunt, a new creature added in the game’s epilogue.
