STICKY: LEGENDARY HATCHING & TRAINING

LEGENDARY POKEMON

raise your baby legendary through the stages of life!

LEGENDARY POKEMON appear sometimes in the world of UNOVR as bosses or massively powerful opponents that require multiple players to take down. After a Legendary Encounter, participants will sometimes receive DNA FRAGMENTS or whole LEGENDARY EGGS that have special conditions to be hatched!

The Legendary Pokemon which hatch from these eggs are to be considered a fun, interesting plot to follow as you raise this baby Pokemon from infancy into adulthood. Legendary Pokemon are not necessary to be competitively viable on site, and they are 100% optional. They're cool, but functionally similar to standard Pokemon.

Not all legendary Pokemon will appear during normal gameplay, so don't hold out waiting for some particular one to come along! After postgame, the rest of the missing Legendaries will be released and will be available for normal capture.

If you acquire a strand of Legendary DNA, you can clone it in Bunya's Lab for 100 BYTES! When you have assembled 5 strands, it will automatically become a Legendary Egg.

HATCHING

Legendary eggs are the same size as a regular Pokemon Egg, but require some special conditions before they will hatch.

1. Visit the relevant Shrine with the Egg (e.g. Take Kyogre to High Tide Shrine)
^{*For legendaries with no relevant shrine (e.g. Darkrai, Cresselia, Jirachi) the player may instead build a small shrine dedicated to their Legendary.}
2. 3x Talk to the egg
3. 3x Try to hatch the egg by exposing it to a relevant item/element/location
4. 1x Save the egg from danger

BABY

Your Pokemon starts small, like all babies. When it hatches, your Legendary is about the size of a basketball. It begins at only a +10 Rarity and grows slowly, reaching the size of a golden retriever as it gets used to its powers. Baby Legendaries cannot be equipped in a skill tree and cannot be used in battle. It cannot hold items, and TMs, Move Mods, and Type Mods cannot be used on it. DNA can not be sequenced from a baby.

For your Legendary to grow to the next stage you must:
1. Interact with your baby in 5 threads
2. Reference its learning, growing, or displaying basic powers
3. Have it play with 3x Pokemon of the same type

JUVENILE

Your Pokemon continues to grow, approaching about half of its full size. It is now +15 Rarity. It can now be equipped in a tree, but can only use moves up to Lvl 20 and no Signature Moves. It can now hold items, but TMs, Move Mods, and Type Mods still cannot be used. DNA cannot be sequenced from a juvenile.

If your Juvenile Legendary faints in battle, it can only be revived at its relevant shrine.

1. 3x Win a battle
2. 1x Lose a battle
3. Defeat a fully grown legendary in battle
4. Visit the relevant shrine after completing all other requirements

ADULT

Your Legendary has come into its power. It obtains the maximum +20 Rarity.

All previous restrictions are lifted!

Your Adult Legendary can now be revived at any shrine, though it may want to return to its home shrine after a significant event in its personal growth.
