After you’ve beaten Volo, Cogita will inform you of the locations of Pokémon said to be “incarnates of the forces of nature.” At first, she will only give you hints to the location of three: Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus. Later on, she will show you how to get to Enamorus.

This request is not easy, and capturing them can get pretty annoying. But don’t worry, we’re here to help.

How to capture Landorus

Landorus appears on Ramanas Island in Obsidian Fieldlands. He’s the easiest to capture among the four genies. This is because Ramanas Island is surroundedby tall grasses you can hide in.

Landorus will be surrounded by a thick storm. If you want to capture him, you need to bring it down. You can do this by hitting him three times. Crouch in a nearby patch of grass, get close, and throw anything. You can even throw Pokémon if you don’t want to waste items.

After the third shot, the X mark above Landorus’ head will disappear, and you can finally capture him. The best way to do so is to weaken him in battle. He can easily escape capture if you don’t reduce his HP or inflict a status ailment.

How to capture Thundurus

Thundurus wanders on the waters north of Sand’s Reach in Cobalt Coastlands during a thunderstorm (we've marked it with a flag on our map). You will know there’s a thunderstorm if the icon on the top left of the map is a cloud with a lightning symbol on it. To get a thunderstorm, keep resting at camp until you get one. Night is recommended.

He’ll be surrounded by aggressive Gyaradoses. If you want to chase him with no obstacles—and this is optional—defeat all the Gyarados. They’re low-leveled (around 30, the Alpha is a 40) enough to be one-hit KO’d by an Electric Pokémon of a higher level.

To capture Thundurus, you will also need to hit him three times first so he brings the storm down. However, he will run away if you get too close. There are two ways to go about this encounter:

1. If you’re confident about your aim, throw Feather Balls from afar. This won’t capture him, but they will hit him, causing the storm shield to disappear, eventually.
2. Otherwise, dash toward him on Basculegion. Thundurus will send out three tornados if you get too close, which is what you want. He stops moving when the tornados are there! There will be a space between the tornados you can slip through. When you get close enough, throw anything.

When the storm that surrounds him fades, battle him.
