Pokemon Legends: Arceus brings a new formula to the beloved franchise, presenting many challenges and adventures across the vast region of Hisui. One of those challenges involves obtaining legendary Pokemon such as Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and more.
The request "Incarnate Forces Of Hisui" will face you against three legendary "genies" from Unova, Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus, with the addition of a new, fourth genie, Enamorus. These genies are a fast and slippery lot, proving a challenge to catch whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned player.

How To Unlock The "Incarnate Forces Of Hisui" Request
After successfully defeating Volo and preventing a catastrophe in Hisui, you will obtain this request from mistress Cogita. She will ask you to find and tame the "forces of nature incarnate", three legendary Pokemon that came from Unova that are now roaming around different places in Hisui.
Let's get started, then!
How To Find And Catch Tornadus
Tornadus will be found in the Bonechill Wastes section of the Alabaster Islands, during a Blizzard weather condition. Once you locate this Pokemon, you must chase it while it tries to run away from your line of sight.
If you keep pursuing it and react fast enough, eventually you will be able to hit it with a Poke Ball or any other throwable item, and it will briefly disrupt its windy shield. We recommend Feather/Wing/Jet balls for this, since they fly far and fast, making it way easier to hit Tornadus.
Keep your distance to avoid being hit by its attacks, and once the windy shield is up again, repeat the process of chasing and throwing a Poke Ball until it gets stunned, and you will be able to send a Pokemon to fight.
From there it's just like any other fight; just keep in mind that Tornadus is a Flying-type, so Ice, Electric, and Rock-type moves will weaken it quickly enough, so you can catch it.
How To Find And Catch Thundurus
Thundurus will be found in the Cobalt Coastlands, by the Pillars nearby Coastland Campsite, during Heavy Rain weather. Once you locate it, you must chase it by water while it tries to run away and send whirlwinds to hit you. Keep chasing it by riding Basculegion and successfully avoiding its attacks, and eventually, you'll be able to toss Poke Balls and the like at it similar to Tornadus.
Keep your distance to avoid being hit by its attacks, and once the windy shield is up again, repeat the process of chasing and throwing a Poke Ball until it gets stunned, which will allow you to send a Pokemon to fight.
Thundurus is an Electric/Flying-type, so Ice and Rock-type moves will weaken it until you catch it.
How To Find And Catch Landorus
Landorus will be found in the Ramnas Island section of Obsidian Fieldlands, with no weather conditions triggering the encounter. Everything we've said about the previous two Pokemon holds true here, from the shield mechanic to our recommendations for Poke Ball choices.
Landorus is a Ground/Flying type, so Ice and Water-type moves will weaken it efficiently enough, so you can catch it.
Once you've captured the three Pokemon, you must level up their Research Level to 10 and go to talk with Cogita, to proceed to the next step in the request. She will then show you the fourth genie, Enamorus, and after it flies away, you will have to travel to the Crimson Mirelands if you want to obtain it.
How To Find And Catch Enamorus
Enamorus will now be waiting in the Scarlet Bog section of Crimson Mirelands, with no weather condition triggering the encounter. Once you locate this Pokemon, you must chase it while it tries to run away from your line of sight.
Despite its novelty status as a brand new Pokemon for Legends: Arceus, you'll be following the same process for handling Enamorus that you did with its three more well-known brethren.
Keep in mind that Enamorus is a Flying/Fairy type, so Ice, Electric, Steel, Poison, and Rock-type moves will weaken it until you catch it.
Once you have the last of the genies, you must level up its research level to 10, and go talk with Cogita, triggering a cutscene and successfully finishing this endeavor.
Cogita will then reward you with a Revealing Glass, which will allow you to change the genies' Incarnate forms to their Therian forms, four Exp Candy L, which is not the best reward, but at least you will have obtained four legendary Pokemon.
