Do you miss your legendary Pokémon feeling truly unique?
Limited Legends brings back the rarity by letting you set hard limits on how many times each Pokémon can be captured — or whether they must be fought first — ensuring that catching one feels truly special.
✨ Every feature is configurable. For example, you could use this mod only for its spawn notifications!
🛑 Per Pokémon Limits
Prevent the capturing of legendary and mythic Pokémon (or any others) once their configurable capture limit has been reached.
🚧 Per Player Limits
Limit the number of Legendaries a single player can own — either overall or per species.
🥊 Fight Before Capturing
Require players to weaken certain Pokémon in battle before they can attempt to catch them.
⬆️ Catch rate penalties: Makes catching higher level Pokémon more difficult!
📄 Customizable Config
Enable/disable any feature and apply them to any Pokémon you want!
(Default: Legendaries + Mythics)
🚫 Optional Spawn Blocking
Don’t just stop captures — block the Pokémon from spawning entirely!
📣 Optional Spawn Messages
Announce to all players whenever a limited Pokémon spawns.
