Catching Koraidon and Miraidon is easy, just defeat Arven and his Skwovet, and he gives you the Pokeball for your game’s legendary at the first lighthouse.

Following the game’s story for about an hour will lead you to meeting and battling this trainer, so pick up your starter and head to Los Platos.

You can’t battle with your legendary when you catch it, so it appears at the bottom of your party with no HP bar and you can’t see its stats.

After your meeting in the schoolyard of Uva Academy, you can ride it by pressing the + button. To upgrade your legendary for climbing, swimming, and gliding, you’ll need to follow the Path of Legends to gather Herba Mystica; there are lots of Water Pokemon outside Mesagoza that make Klawf a good first Titan to beat.

That’s everything we have on where to catch Koraidon and Miraidon. Check out some of our other Pokemon Scarlet and Violet content like this list of every version exclusive Pokemon, where to find Nymble, and an explanation of picnics.
