Unlike in previous Pok\u00e9mon games, where each legendary encounter can result in the Pok\u00e9mon running away, Nintendo has confirmed that encounters with legendary Pok\u00e9mon have a guaranteed 100% capture rate.<\/p>\n<p>This information was confirmed in the most recent episode of the Japanese variety show, Pok\u00e9nchi. Pok\u00e9nchi also confirmed that players will only capture one of each legendary Pok\u00e9mon. Some members of the community are disappointed by this news as they fear these legendary Pok\u00e9mon will be shiny locked. This means these Pok\u00e9mon cannot be shiny unless the developers decide to give them away at future events. Be sure to keep an eye out on any events after the expansion launches.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on which copy of Pok\u00e9mon Sword or Shield you own will determine which legendary Pok\u00e9mon appear in your game. Unfortunately, this means if you want every Pok\u00e9mon in your Pok\u00e9Dex, you may need to own both copies of the game.<\/p>\n<p>There is the possibility that Game Freak will allow players to catch the version-exclusive legendaries through raids, though this hasn\u2019t been confirmed as of yet. By guaranteeing players can capture the legendary Pok\u00e9mon without fail, this opens up the possibility of using any Pok\u00e9ball you want. Be sure to choose wisely, as you won\u2019t have the option ever again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive-container\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AMbuCjjs3gw?modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed]<\/div>\n<p>Want more RPG goodness on your Nintendo Switch?
