What if I'm wiped out battling against the legendary Pokémon?
My brother failed to save before battling the legendary (Groudon), and saved afterwards when his team had been wiped out by Groudon. Upon returning to the Cave of Origin, to the same spot that Groudon first spawned, he is not there. What can be done to make him respawn so he can be battled again, in order to advance in the story?
Best Answer
Where you find Groudon is when it takes you somewhere and you battle its Primal form, right? If memory serves me right there's another way you can go in the cave that leads to where the actual fight happens. This other way is blocked off until Groudon/Kyogre take you to where the actual battle occurs but since you've done that scene it should be fine.

What happens if you run from legendary Pokemon?
In Generations I and II, if the player runs from an in-game event Pok\xe9mon, it becomes permanently unavailable (except the Electrode in Team Rocket HQ). Starting in Generation III, if the player runs from a Legendary Pok\xe9mon, the Pok\xe9mon reappears when the player leaves and re-enters its location.Can legendary Pokemon Respawn?
