Legendaries
Karamon legendary spawns: a roll every hour on the hour, odds by active players, how the player and Pokémon are chosen by biome, and 15 minutes to catch it.
On this page
On Karamon, legendaries, Mythicals and Ultra Beasts spawn in the wild, near a randomly chosen player, and anyone can catch them.
A roll every hour on the hour
A roll happens every hour on the hour (2:00 PM, 3:00 PM…). Its chance of success depends on the number of active players:
| Active players | Spawn chance |
|---|---|
| 1 to 5 | 5% |
| 6 to 10 | 10% |
| 11 to 20 | 20% |
| 21 to 40 | 35% |
| 41 and more | 50% |
If the roll succeeds, the server picks an active player at random (everyone has the same chance) and the legendary spawns within 20 blocks of them.
Who counts as an active player?
You are active (and can be picked) if you are:
- online, in Resources or Adventure (not in the Town, on the islands, in the Gyms or at the Safari);
- in survival mode;
- not AFK: after 5 minutes without moving, looking around or acting, you no longer count.
Which legendary?
The server looks at the biome where the chosen player is standing and picks a legendary that lives in that biome, taking into account the time (day or night), the weather and the altitude. If none matches, it picks another one, so a roll is never lost for lack of a biome.
A few examples:
| Legendary | Where to look |
|---|---|
| Articuno | snowy and icy biomes |
| Zapdos | plains, meadows, hills, savanna, in the rain |
| Moltres | badlands, desert, volcanoes |
| Mewtwo | mountains and peaks, at night |
| Mew, Celebi | jungle and tropical islands; forests during the day |
| Raikou, Entei, Suicune | plains in the rain; savanna and volcanoes; rivers and lakes |
| Lugia, Kyogre | deep ocean (Kyogre in the rain) |
| Ho-Oh, Dialga | mountains and peaks, during the day |
| Groudon | desert, badlands, volcanoes, in clear weather |
| Rayquaza | peaks above Y 130 |
| Giratina | eerie places and swamps, at night |
| Arceus | peaks above Y 150, in clear weather (very rare) |
The list contains more than 80 species, from Kanto to Paldea legendaries, along with Mythicals and Ultra Beasts. The legendary birds, the legendary beasts and the Regis are the most common; Arceus, Necrozma and Eternatus are the rarest. They are usually level 65 to 75, up to 80 for the most powerful ones.
When it spawns
- The whole server is notified in the chat, with the Pokémon's name, its level and the chosen player's username.
- The chosen player gets a title, a sound, the distance and direction, then a compass above their action bar for one minute.
- The legendary has a purple outline, or a golden one if it is shiny (2.5% chance).
- It does not despawn if you walk away, but it leaves after 15 minutes if it has not been caught (never in the middle of a battle).
- If you are in a battle when the roll happens, the spawn waits for the battle to end (2 minutes at most).
- A catch is announced to the whole server.
