Pokemon Scarlet & Violet‘s The Indigo Disk DLC welcomed plenty of returning Pokemon, along with a Mythical creature. If you’re trying to complete your Pokedex, here are all the Mythical Pokemon in the game and how to get 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 & Blue, Mythicals 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 Keldeo to your Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Pokedex, we’re here to tell you if, how, and then where you can get these rare creatures.
All Mythical Pokemon in the Paldea Pokedex
Whether attainable in the game itself or available through transfer via Pokemon Home, all of the following Mythical Pokemon can be part of the game.
Mew | Jirachi | Deoxys | Phione |
Manaphy | Darkrai | Shaymin | Arceus |
Keldeo | Meloetta | Diancie | Hoopa |
Volcanion | Magearna | Zarude | Pecharunt |
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.

While players can work through the main storyline to unlock a total of 25 Legendary creatures (if you own The Indigo Disk DLC), they can only catch two Mythical Pokemon: Meloetta and the newest addition, Pecharunt.
Mythical Pokemon you can transfer into Scarlet & Violet
As of the release of the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk DLC, and the addition of more Pokemon, you can transfer the following Pokemon into Pokemon Scarlet & Violet:
POKEMON | GEN | GET IT FROM |
---|---|---|
Mew ![]() | Gen 1 | Pokemon Let's Go, Sword & Shield, Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl |
Jirachi ![]() | Gen 3 | Pokemon Sword & Shield, Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl |
Deoxys ![]() | Gen 3 | Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl |
Phione ![]() | Gen 4 | Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus |
Manaphy ![]() | Gen 4 | Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus |
The Mythicals you catch in Pokemon Go can only be transferred into Scarlet & Violet if you have already transferred that same species from a mainline game first.
