Post-game and legendaries

After the Kanto league, CobbleVerse opens fossil / DNA routes and legendary catches. Use this with the Achievements checklist.

Contents

    When post-game feels open

    Finish the Kanto gyms and league first. Beating Champion Blue unlocks the Origin Fossil advancement branch. Ancient DNA is tied to late Kanto progress (Giovanni / inventory trigger in the pack). Keep a strong, healed team — legendaries are not early-route content.

    Important

    Respect the level cap and bring coverage. Do not start legendary hunts under-healed or with a mono-type team. See Level cap and Catching & battling.

    Origin Fossil → Mew

    1. Clear Kanto through Blue (Champion).
    2. Open inventory (E) and search REI for Origin Fossil.
    3. Craft the fossil with the materials the recipe shows.
    4. Follow the pack’s Mew encounter / revive flow from there — the advancement “Catch Mew” completes when you own Mew.
    5. Shiny Mew is a separate optional advancement.

    A guided version of this path also lives in FTB Quests under Fossils and TM LabQuests. Full fossil tables: Fossil hunting & resurrection.

    REI is truth
    Exact grids can change with pack updates. Always trust the in-game recipe view over screenshots.

    Ancient DNA → Mewtwo

    1. Progress late Kanto (Giovanni and beyond as needed).
    2. Search REI for Ancient DNA and related cloning items (e.g. Cloning Catalyst).
    3. Get Ancient DNA into your inventory — that ticks the pack advancement.
    4. Use the revive / cloning flow to bring back Mewtwo.
    5. Shiny Mewtwo revive is optional.
    Ancient DNA sources

    Giovanni’s first win drops one Ancient DNA. Mew shrine chests can also contain Ancient DNA. Crafting Origin Fossil (Mew) consumes Ancient DNA (see REI: DNA + fossils + Ancient Origin Ball). Mewtwo also needs Ancient DNA + cloning catalyst — so both routes need two DNA total.

    Legendary birds

    Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres each have catch advancements (plus optional shinies). The pack does not give fixed overworld coordinates on this wiki.

    1. Search each name in Spawn lookup for biomes and spawn buckets.
    2. Travel prepared: balls, heals, status tools, and a claimed base with a waystone.
    3. Catch the legendary — the advancement toasts when criteria complete.
