How to catch Uxie, Mesprit & Azelf in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

Three legendary Pokemon – Uxie, Mesprit & Azelf – can be caught in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl’s Sinnoh Region. If you’re looking to check these off your Pokedex, you’ve come to the right place. 

There is a load of exclusive Pokemon for both of these titles, though you’ll be delighted to know that these three can be caught on both Diamond and Pearl. Each of them are located in Caverns, which can’t be unlocked until you have progressed to a certain stage in the game.

After completing the events with Palkia and Dialga in-game, you can find each of these Pokemon. Now, let’s go one-by-one to run through where they spawn.
