Your in-game setup will vary depending on if your chosen Pokemon is located inside of a cave, or is wandering in the overworld. Follow the images above for an example of good positioning, then save the game after doing so.

• For Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Heatran & Manaphy, stand directly outside the cave enterance (pictured in Figure 1).
• For Cresselia, Shaymin, Darkrai, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus & Enamorus, stand within talking distance of the guard in Jubilife (pictured in Figure 2)

Advancing the RNG state for this type of encounter involves repeatedly knocking out, then respawning the Pokemon. For this reason you should stock up on PokeBalls (to capture the Pokemon), healing items (such as Elixirs and Potions), and throwable items (such as Mud Balls & Sticky Glob), as you cannot leave back to Jubilife after finding a seed.

SysBot Setup/Settings Toggles:

1. Launch SysBot.exe, at this point you should already have the mode configured for Legends: Arceus. If you have not yet done this, visit this page.
2. Type the local IP address of your console into the IP field, your local IP can be found by opening the homebrew menu and pressing the Y button.
3. Open the Hub tab, then navigate to the EncounterLA dropdown menu, here you can configure the bot based on the Pokemon you are hunting.
4. Set the OWLegend to the Pokemon you intend to hunt, then set the SearchDepth to the amount of advances you wish to search through.
5. In the StopConditions dropdown menu, set the IVs/Nature to match your desired Pokemon, close and re-open the program every time you change these settings.
6. Navigate back to the Bots tab, then open the dropdown menu on the right, select EncBotOWLCheckRNGLA, then click the Add button.

The suggested SearchDepth value will vary depending on the rarity of your Pokemon. You should also consider if your Pokemon respawns immediately or if in-game actions are required to respawn. Keep this in mind when choosing an appropriate SearchDepth value.

Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Heatran & Cresselia - These will take roughly 30-60 seconds per advance and will respawn immediately after being defeated.

Manaphy, Shaymin, Darkrai, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus & Enamorus - These can take up to 5 minutes per advance and will require in-game actions to respawn them.

Despawns When Defeated:

Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Enamorus, Shaymin & Darkrai

1. Knockout the legendary, then fly to a campsite.
2. Sleep 3 times, night -> morning -> evening.
3. Head to a cave and enter, then save and reboot the game.
4. Fly back to the legendary and wait for it to respawn.
5. Repeat from step 1 until the desired frame has been hit.

Note - Tornadus, Thundurus and Darkrai only respawn in certain conditions, Tornadus in a Blizzard, Thundurus in a Thunderstorm, and Darkrai at night.

Forced Capture:

Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Heatran & Cresselia

1. Knockout the legendary.
2. Click through the menus until you regain control of your character.

Unique Cases:

Manaphy

1. Knockout the legendary, then fly to a campsite.
2. Sleep 3 times, night -> morning -> evening.
3. Warp to Fire Pit Island and enter the cave, then save and reboot the game.
4. Fly back to Manaphy's cave, then wait until night time.
5. Enter the cave, check to see if Manaphy has respawned.
6. Repeat from step 1 until the desired frame has been hit.

Note - Manaphy is a unique case, it is contained inside a cave but does not immediately respawn. The method used to respawn Manaphy is more akin to the method used for Overworld.
