Pokemon games typically follow a set story where the player follows one particular path to complete the game. In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, however, things are much different as players are given the option to choose from three different story paths. One of which includes the Path of Legends, where players must track down and defeat Titan Pokemon, so they may find the legendary Herba Mysticas.

However, while players can choose when to fight these Titans, there's actually a correct order in which to fight them, so that way, they don't accidentally fight an extremely strong one when the player is under-leveled. Here's the best order for the Path of Legends Titan battles in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

What's the Best Order for the Path of Legends Titan Battles in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?

1. Stony Cliff Titan - Klawf

The False Dragon Titan actually has three phases, unlike the earlier Titan Pokemon. The first two phases are against the "False Dragon," Dondozo. After the player defeats Dondozo, the true Dragon Titan, Tatsugiri, will appear and battle them. Defeat Tatsugiri to finally bring the battle to a close.

Can You Catch Titan Pokemon?

Of course, the big question at large is, can players catch Titan Pokemon? Unfortunately, no, Titan Pokemon cannot be caught, only defeated. However, players can, in fact, catch their normal-sized versions. For example, if a player wanted to catch an Orthworm, they can go around the area and catch one, but it won't be the Titan-sized version they fight in the Titan battle.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is available for the Nintendo Switch.
