    Put the trio in your party.

    Go back to the cave at other times of day.
  • Question
    I've already encountered Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf. Can I find them again, even if I fight the Elite 4?

    If you mean you've killed them, yes, you can encounter them again. However, if you captured them, no.
  • Question
    No more legendary Pokemon are showing up and I haven't caught all of them. Why did it stop?

    Palkia and Dialga are version exclusive. You do not find both.

    Is there any special kind of Poke ball to catch Dialga?

    No, you just have to hope you get lucky, unless you use the Master Ball, which is an instant, guaranteed capture. Any Poke Ball can catch it, even a ball you might not expect to catch it like a Net Ball.
  • Question
    How many times can I encounter Uxie?
    Bun bun
    Top Answerer
    Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf are one-time only catches per save file. This means that trading among other save files, whether from friends or files of your own, is required to encounter Dialga and Palkia.
  • Question
    Does it need to be nighttime?
    Community Answer
    No, you can catch Dialga or Palkia at any time. All you need is uxie mesprit and azelf in your party.
  • Question
    I caught Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit but I traded Mesprit for another Pokemon - would it still work?
    Bun bun
    Top Answerer
    No. All of the trio must be in the party at the time of attempting to get Palkia and Dialga.
  • Question
    What time does Uxie come? I already have Mespirit and Azelf, I just need Uxie.
    Bun bun
    Top Answerer
    Uxie is arguably the hardest to find. It appears from 8PM to 9PM on your 3DS' clock.
  • Question
    I have Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf in my party, and I already caught Dialga, but Palkia isn't appearing! Why?
    Bun bun
    Top Answerer
    As you have Alpha Sapphire, you can't encounter Palkia. You need to trade from another game in order to obtain Palkia.
  • Question
    Can I get two Dialgas/Palkias in ORAS?
    Bun bun
    Top Answerer
    Not without trading.
  • Question
    What is the code to get Dialga? I need to get one!

    There isn't a code, you just need to follow the steps in this article and you will get the Dialga you're longing for.

    Is it possible to encounter Uxie a second time?
    Bun bun

    If you killed it, yes.
  • Question
    I can only find Dialga. Is there a certain time to catch Palkia?
    Bun bun
    Top Answerer
    No. Palkia is version-exclusive (as you cannot find Dialga in Omega Ruby), so you cannot find it in your Alpha Sapphire copy.
  • Question
    Can I get them as a shiny?
    Community Answer
    Yes.
  • Question
    Am I able to try to catch Mesprit, Uxie and Azelf after they faint?
    Bun bun
    Top Answerer
    No. The Lake Guardians are a one time only encounter. Be sure to save before legendary battles in the future.
  • Question
    Do I need to catch the Lake Trio if I transferred them from another game?
    Community Answer
    It was stated in the article that the Trio just had to be in your party, so no, probably not.
  • Question
    What's the best way to catch Mesprit?

    Community Answer
    Use a quick ball at the beginning of the battle. If that doesn't work, weaken it and throw ultra balls at it. Then, if thirty turns have passed, throw some timer balls.
