If you’re looking for the final member of the Creation Trio, here’s how to catch Giratina in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
In the beginning of the Pokemon universe, Arceus was born and birthed Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina to shape the world.
These three Legendary Pokemon, as well as the creator itself, play a large role in the new open-world game. And they can all be caught throughout the Hisui region.

You won’t be catching these creatures early on in the game, but they’re definitely all must-have Pokemon to complete your Hisui Dex. And while Dialga and Palkia’s capture events take place in the main story, Giratina is a little different.
