Latias
This dual-type Dragon/Psychic Pokemon is the lady half of the Latias/Latios duo.
Obtainable via:
Pokemon Sapphire – After beating the Elite 4, Latias will appear roaming around Hoenn. The same tactics that work for Mesprit, Cresselia, and the legendary bird trio in Platinum will work here. Make sure you have either a Wobbuffet or a Pokemon that knows Mean Look at the head of your party to prevent Latias from fleeing once you encounter her. It’s highly recommended that you just use your Master Ball on her if you have one.
Pokemon Emerald – You have to choose between Latios and Latias in Emerald. After beating the Elite 4, when you end up back in your room in Littleroot Town, approach the TV and watch the program about flying dragons. Your mom will talk to you and ask about the Pokemon’s color. If you say Red, Latias will begin roaming around Hoenn.
Like in Ruby and Sapphire, it’s possible to obtain BOTH Latias and Latios, provided you obtain the Eon Ticket that allows passage to Southern Island. In Emerald, whichever Pokemon you didn’t pick previously will appear.
Pokemon Ruby – It’s possible to obtain Latias on your own in Ruby, but you need an e-Reader and the Eon Ticket e-Card to get to Southern Island, where you’ll find Latias. It’s also possible to obtain the Eon Ticket by mixing records with someone who obtained the ticket directly (i.e. if you obtained the Eon Ticket through mixing records, you can’t pass another ticket on to anyone else). The Eon Ticket was also given away as a Mystery Gift at a few Pokemon events, but your chance for that passed awhile ago.
Trivia: Latias and Latios were the first legendary Pokemon to have a gender, with Latias always female and Latios always male.
Latios
This dual-type Dragon/Psychic Pokemon is the gentleman half of the Latias/Latios duo.
Obtainable via:

After beating the Elite 4, when you end up back in your room in Littleroot Town, approach the TV and watch the program about flying dragons. Your mom will talk to you and ask about the Pokemon’s color. If you say Blue, Latios will begin roaming around Hoenn.

Trivia: Latios is the only legendary that is always male.
Lugia
Known as the Diving Pokemon, Lugia is the cover star of Pokemon Silver.
Obtainable via:
Pokemon XD – This is the only way to obtain Lugia on your own through normal gameplay. Lugia can be caught during the boss battle against Grand Master Greevil on Citadark Island. This is a difficult battle, and there are several other legendaries you might want to also catch within the same fight. We recommend picking one or two you really want to catch and just focusing on those.
Pokemon FireRed / LeafGreen / Pokemon Emerald – By event only. You would have needed a Mysticticket to get to Navel Rock, where Lugia resides. If you didn’t initially get this at one of the official events, you’re out of luck.
Trivia: According to Bulbapedia, in the final episode of ER, a patient mentions Lugia by name.
Manaphy
The prince of the sea!
Obtainable via:
Pokemon Ranger – This is the only way to obtain Manaphy on your own through normal gameplay. First, beat the game. Then, from the main menu, select the Ranger Net option and hold down the right shoulder button, the X button, and left on the directional pad to bring up a password option. Enter the code P8M2-9D6F-43H7 for North America and Australia or Mg35-Cpb8-4FW8 for Europe to unlock the Manaphy Egg special mission. Complete the mission (it’s easy) to receive the Manaphy egg. To transfer it to Diamond or Pearl, you’ll need two DS systems. Turn on both DS systems, one with Ranger and one with Diamond / Pearl, start the games and follow the prompts to transfer the egg.
Trivia: Besides Phione, Manaphy is the only breedable legendary. Unfortunately, its offspring is always a Phione, and it’s impossible to obtain a Manaphy through breeding.
Mesprit
Mesprit is part of the Psychic legendary trio that debuted in Pokemon Diamond / Pearl. Each one guards one of Sinnoh’s three lakes.
Obtainable via:
Pokemon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum – Once you’ve beaten Team Galactic at Mt. Coronet, the lake trio of legendaries (Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie) will become available. Of the three lake Pokemon, Mesprit is the hardest to catch, since it’s the only one that roams Sinnoh instead of staying at its respective lake. First, go to Lake Verity and approach Mesprit, who will immediately flee and begin roaming/teleporting all over Sinnoh. Use your Marking Map Poketch app to view his current location. You don’t have to go after him right after your initial encounter – in fact, once Mesprit begins to roam Sinnoh, you can save your game and then go after him whenever you feel like it. Roaming Pokemon are the most irritating Pokemon to catch, so here are a few tips:
-Using Fly to get closer to Mesprit usually doesn’t work. You’ll have to walk/bike there and hope he doesn’t move again while you’re en route.
-Have a Pokemon with the Mean Look move at the head of your party (Crobat is a good candidate because of his high speed stat) and use it right away to prevent Mesprit from fleeing.
-Better yet, have a Wobbuffet at the head of your party. Its Shadow Tag ability will prevent Mesprit from fleeing even if Wobbuffet switches out.
-Mesprit’s HP doesn’t regenerate between encounters, so if you’ve gotten its health down and it flees, its health will still be down next time you encounter it.
Mesprit and Cresselia are both good candidates for using your Master Ball.
Trivia: Mesprit and Kirlia have the same species name – Emotion Pokemon.
