Instructional walkthrough
Accomplishment of the Dex requirements
In order to start the quest you need to have all non-legendary caught data for Hoenn (Generation 3)
Littleroot Town and catching the legendary
Once you have gathered all the caught data from Hoenn needed and have become Hoenn Champion, you can travel to Littleroot Town and talk to the reporters located above the Starter House. As a result, you will scare away the Latias next to the reporters and they will disappear after some light dialogue.
Now, enter the starting house and interact with the TV. The TV will tell you that a Red Pokémon is roaming around so you will have to hunt down Latias. However, Latias can be at ten possible locations.
Latias
- Starting Truck located in Littleroot Town.
- Route 103 on the water.
- New Mauville in the upper right corner of the building.
- Weather Institute second floor.
- Mt. Chimney at the reactor located in the northwest.
- Meteor Falls B1F 2R.
- Mt.Pyre Exterior.
- Lilycove Department Store on the rooftop.
- Abandoned Ship.
- Hoenn Safari Zone 2 House.
Once you have found the right location, interact with it. Latias will evolve into Mega Latias and a battle will start. Mega Latias has a level around 100-120. Even if Mega evolved, you will get the seen data of Latias once you started the fight, the outcome of the battle does not matter. When the battle is over, you have to go back to the Player House and interact with the TV. Now, a Blue Pokémon is roaming around - Latios. Latios also has ten possible locations, same as Latias.
Latios
- Petalburg Maze in the northeast corner.
- Devon Corporation 3rd floor.
- Granite Cave.
- Route 124 Underwater.
- Route 123 at the lake.
- Shoal Cave in the ice room at low tide.
- Mossdeep Gym
- Sky Pillar 5th floor.
- Victory Road Hoenn.
- Route 134, hidden behind a rock.
Same as with Latias here, once you interacted with it, it will mega evolve into Mega Latios, and a battle will start. The seen data will be from Latios.
After this escapade you can return to the TV once more and choose which of the two legendary Pokémon you want to catch.
Now, when you have chosen your Pokémon, step out of the Starter House and walk up to the location where the reporter was, above the players house. The chosen legendary should appear and be ready to catch. The Pokémon is at level 40, make sure to be prepared for this fight. In case the legendary was not successfully caught, it will respawn with the same Nature, Abiliy and IVs as in their first encounter.
