Once you defeat the Pokémon League, Mission #050: Portal Purge triggers, manifesting dark spatial rifts across the Borrius region. These portals are the keys to tracking down the space, time, and creator deities of the Pokémon universe.
1. The Ruins of Void Portal Purge (Raikou, Entei & Suicune)
The Purge initiates in the depth of the Ruins of Void. Interacting with the dimensional rift on B1F releases the legendary roamers Raikou and Entei into the tall grass of Borrius. Use your DexNav to track their movement, and deploy Mean Look or Shadow Tag to trap and capture them. Once both roamers are in your party, return to the B1F Ruins of Void rift to trigger a static encounter with Suicune. Bringing all three Legendary Beasts to the Ruins of Void basement then summons Ho-Oh and Lugia simultaneously.
2. The Legendary Creator Trio Routes
| Legendary God | Pre-requisite Missions | Dimensional Rift Location | Key Items & Capturing Mechanics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dialga | 'Guardians of the Lake' (Fallshore HQ) | Cave of Being (Waterfall above Cootes Bog) | Capture Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf from their rifts, place them in your active party, and enter the Cave of Being to summon Dialga. Collects the Adamant Orb for Origin Forme. |
| Palkia | 'A Rift in Space' (Dehara City) | Rift Cave (Surfing north of Dehara) | Speak with the researcher in Dehara City to activate the Rift Cave portal. Enter the deep spatial void to battle Palkia. Collects the Lustrous Orb for Origin Forme. |
| Arceus | 'The Endless Nightmare' (Tarmigan Town) | Tarmigan Dream Research Lab | Capture Darkrai in the Tarmigan Inn. Gather all 17 Plates in your bag, then talk to the lead scientist at the Dream Lab to enter the nightmare realm and battle Arceus at Level 80. |
| Giratina | Portal Purge active (Post-Game) | Distortion World (via Rift Cave portal) | After catching Palkia, re-enter the Rift Cave portal to reach the Distortion World. Battle Giratina at the summit. Collect the Griseous Orb for Origin Forme. |
| Regigigas | 'Statue of Regi' (Gurun Town) | Icy Hole Cave (Frozen Forest) | Place Regirock, Registeel, Regice in slots 1/2/3 of your party and interact with the statue. Initiates a Level 100 battle with Regigigas. |
3. Ultra Beasts and Regional Portals
Clearing the main Portal Purge narrative opens spatial paths to other dimensions. Surfing in the Cinder Volcano 2F area during the night after completing the Elite Four challenges reveals a portal leading to a volcanic chamber where Volcanion resides. Exploring the icy depths of the Icy Hole while holding Regigigas in your party allows players to step into portals containing Regieleki and Regidrago. Ensure you stock up on Beast Balls and Timer Balls, as capture rates within rifts are heavily suppressed on higher game difficulties.
