Before I leave your house and say goodbye to your parents in Pokémon, I wonder when and where I'm going to have my first juicy Legendary. Legendary Pokémon are what we are all looking for. The super secret, super strong, and super intimidating post-game legendaries are so alluring. They are a bit hidden. They are powerful. They just have a mystique that makes you want to hunt them down, and Pokemon Shining Diamond/Shining Pearl adds even more Legendaries to acquire than in the original version of the game.



Here we explain how to get all hidden legendary Pokemon. Both Pokémon pets are exclusive to the version you purchase and are guaranteed to be caught by the end of the story. But, there are more Pokemon to unlock – completely optional and hidden Legendary Pokemon. All of the legendary Pokemon exclusively included in this remake can be found in the new Ramanas Park. We will also explain which Pokémon you can find randomly in this part of the game.
