For the majority of legendary Pokemon, Minecraft players will need to use specific items/blocks in tandem with a beacon. By using specific items/blocks on a beacon with a right-click in the right biome, a legendary Pokemon will be summoned and can be battled and caught. However, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will require different methods to encounter.

Minecraft players can summon all of the legendary Pokemon in Cobblemon with the methods outlined below:

• Articuno - In a snowy plains biome, right-click on a beacon block while holding four Ice Stones.
• Zapdos - In any biome, right-click on a beacon while holding four Thunder Stones.
• Moltres - In a basalt delta biome in the Nether, right-click a beacon while holding four Sun Stones.
• Mewtwo - In any biome, right-click on a beacon block while holding a Nether Star.
• Rayquaza - On the main island in the End, right-click on a beacon while holding an Ender Dragon egg.
• Xerneas - In a dark forest biome, right-click on a beacon block while holding a Galarica Wreath.
• Iron Leaves - After you've defeated/caught Rayquaza, you'll gain access to the Shady Villager, who is found in a small hut in dark oak forest biomes. By speaking with him about strange rumors, he'll mention Paradox Pokemon, which will cause Iron Leaves to spawn in the area. Additionally, after beating/catching Rayquaza, you can enter the End and use a Dubious Disk on a beacon block on any End island biome.
• Walking Wake - Like Iron Leaves, you'll need to defeat or catch Rayquaza and locate the Shady Villager, then speak with him about strange rumors. After doing so, Walking Wake should spawn in the area and you can hunt it down, battle it, and catch it.

Keep in mind that the legendary Pokemon in Cobblemon are spawned at a pretty high level, so you'll want to train up your Pokemon beforehand to ensure that they're ready for the battle. It's also wise to collect plenty of healing items as well as Ultra or Master Balls to ensure you can catch these legendaries.

In addition to the Cobblemon mod, you will need to install the Legendary Encounters data pack to find the powerful and rare creatures outlined above.

You can find the steps to install Legendary Encounters below:

1. Open your web browser and head to the modding site of your choice like Modrinth or CurseForge, then open the page for the Legendary Encounters data pack.
2. Head to the files/versions tab and select the version of the data pack that matches your version of Minecraft and your version of the Cobblemon mod. Click it to download it to your device storage.
3. Open the game and head to the main menu. Select options, then resource packs, then open pack folder.

Return to the resource pack menu in-game and click the Legendary Encounters icon to activate it.

That's all there is to it! Keep in mind that as Cobblemon continues to update, you'll need to procure the new compatible version of this data pack as well to ensure that the legendary Pokemon appear as intended.
