2. 🔍 Finding Legendary Pokémon with Pokédex Notifications and Team Play
· Utilize the Pokédex notification feature to receive alerts when wild Pokémon appear. Select your desired Pokémon in the Pokédex and set 'Turn on notifications'.
· Since only one Pokémon can be set for notifications at a time, if multiple people are playing together, it's good to use a 'divide and conquer' strategy by having each person set a different Legendary Pokémon.
· When a notification comes, everyone can go catch that Pokémon, making it efficient.
· Keep notification settings on so alerts pop up, and check that the Pokémon you've set for notifications are prioritized in the 'Nearby Pokémon' list.

3. 💨 Maximizing Spawns with Incense and New Routes
· Use Incense throughout the event and keep moving to encounter more Pokémon.
· Especially, using Incense along new Routes will spawn more Pokémon. It's recommended to create new Routes that are as straight as possible beforehand.
· Incense is most effective when moving in a straight line at a consistent speed. It's important to keep moving steadily, whether by walking, driving slowly, or using an electric scooter.

4. 🗺️ Utilizing Nearby Pokémon and Palkia's Spacial Rend
· Actively use the 'Nearby Pokémon' feature at the bottom of the game screen. It shows Pokémon near PokéStops, prioritizing Pokémon not in your Pokédex or those you've set notifications for.
· If you see a Legendary Pokémon nearby, click it, then tap the footprint icon to get a rough location. Then, click a PokéStop and use 'View on Map' for precise directions to quickly move there.
· Using Palkia's 'Spacial Rend' Adventure Effect expands the radius in which you can see Pokémon, increasing your chances of finding more.
· It's best to activate Spacial Rend for short periods and reuse it as needed. If you switch to another Adventure Effect after finding a Legendary Pokémon, the existing time will be canceled.

5. 🌐 The Importance of Campfire and Covering Wide Areas
· Use the Campfire app to share information about Legendary Pokémon appearances with other trainers. If you catch a Legendary Pokémon in the wild, post it on Campfire to inform others, or move to a location based on someone else's alert.
· Joining local Campfire groups is also a good way to get information.
· Legendary Pokémon are very rare, so instead of staying in one place, you should explore as wide an area as possible. Covering many areas by car, public transport, or bicycle increases your chances of catching them. (If driving, have someone else play for safety.)

6. 🎯 Wild Legendary Pokémon Catching Strategy
· When searching for wild Legendary Pokémon, do NOT use Go++. Go++ is highly likely to identify and attempt to catch Pokémon, but then lose them.
· If you find a Legendary Pokémon, always attempt to catch it while stationary. Moving can cause the Pokémon to flee due to speed limits.
· Shiny (different colored) Legendary Pokémon will not flee, but they are very difficult to catch. Make sure to stock up on plenty of Ultra Balls and Golden Razz Berries beforehand.
· Non-shiny Legendary Pokémon can flee, so you must use all available catching techniques.
