How to recruit a Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX
Legendary Pokémon can only be recruited into Rescue Team DX after the credits roll. After completing the main campaign, you can go back and challenge any of the Legendary Pokémon you've encountered throughout the story and face them off, but this time they're open to recruiting.
These legendary Pokémon linked to history, including Electhor, Artikodin, Sulfura, Groudon, et Rayquaza, will be recruited automatically after defeating them a second time in the post-match.
How to recruit all other Legendary Pokémon
Aside from the story-related Legends, 15 other Legendary Pokémon are available as part of Rescue Team DX post-game content. The same rule applies to these Legendaries: they cannot be recruited during the first encounter. You have to defeat them once, then come back and fight them a second time to recruit them into your rescue team. Plus, like other Legendaries, recruiting is automatic after the second encounter, so you won't have to worry about luck.
