I have completed the game and I have 4 legendaries to catch.

These were Cresselia and the 3 deer trio, which are Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion.

I have 3 Pokemon with max EV and I caught Terrakion on a Tuesday. A day later when I went back to the portal to them, which was when Cobalion was meant to be there, nothing happened.

I waited a day later and still, nothing happened. It just keeps saying that "a mysterious ring is floating in the air."

Please help, because I really want to catch Cobalion and Virizion and it isn't working!

  • Those 3 are commonly referred to as the "Swords of Justice", rather than the "deer trio".

As per my answer here: What are the prerequisites to encounter the legendaries in ORAS?

Terrakion/Virizion/Cobalion

  • Available on: Both Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
  • Location: Pathless Plain (Eon-Flute, Red Spark Near Pacifidlog Town)
  • Required Party Pokemon: 3 Pokémon fully EV-Trained (Obtained once a Pokémon's stats cannot be raised anymore.)
  • Required Item: None
  • Date/Time available:
    • Terrakion - Tuesday/Saturday
    • Virizion - Monday/Thursday
    • Cobalion - Sunday, Wednesday and Friday

If you've met all the prerequisites, then you should first confirm the date/time on your 3DS. Ensure that it is set to the correct day for them to spawn. If you change the date/time on the 3DS, all time based events (including legendary spawns) will be disabled for 24-48 hours.

If your 3DS is correct and there have been no time/day based changes in the past 24-48 hours, then the only other cause for them not appearing is that you've previously fought them. You will need to re-defeat the Elite Four in order to have them spawn again.

  • I did put my time on my 3ds an hour forward because it was wrong and I have also defeated the elite four three times.

    @Sharkman - well then you'll need to wait 24-48 hours before they spawn again. And any time you defeat them instead of catch them, you will need to rebattle the elite four to have them reappear :-)

  • By waiting 24-48 hours to I have to wait without going on my 3ds or can I still play and if I change the time back to what it originally was will it work. Because pathless plains is still there but it just keeps saying a mysterious ring is floating in the air I will defeat the elite four and see if it was that.

Instead of doing the elite 4 again you could just save before and just soft reset it you fail to capture them
