{{p|Azelf}} was the fourth Legendary Arena boss Pokémon and could be battled from September 16 to 30, 2020, May 6 to 20, 2021 and April 21 to May 5, 2022.

{{p|Tapu Bulu}} was the fifth Legendary Arena boss Pokémon and could be battled from November 16 to 30, 2020, August 5 to 19, 2021, February 7 to 21 and June 9 to 23, 2022.

It activates the field effect of {{m|Grassy Terrain}} at the beginning of each HP bar and each time it uses its Sync Move; Grassy Terrain increases the power of {{type|Grass}} moves and restores HP when using a Grass-type move. Grassy Terrain can be countered by inflicting {{status|Poison}} or by using "interference" status conditions, such as [[flinch]]ing, {{status|confusion}}, or {{status|bound|trapped}}, although Tapu Bulu will increase its resistance to the latter each time it recovers, until it becomes immune.

{{p|Regirock}} was the sixth Legendary Arena boss Pokémon and could be battled from December 12 to 20, 2020, June 25 to July 9, 2021, November 19 to December 3, 2021, and April 7 to 21, 2022.

It is weak to {{type|Grass}} moves while on its first HP bar, and weak to {{type|Steel}} moves while on its second and third. During the battle, any Pokémon receiving a critical hit will have their Defense lowered; for Regirock, this is the only way to reduce any of its stats.

{{p|Latias}} was the eighth Legendary Arena boss Pokémon and could be battled from March 31 to April 14, 2021, November 9 to 23, 2021, and June 27 to July 11, 2022.

It is weak to Dragon-type moves while on its first HP bar, and weak to {{type|Fairy}} moves while on its second and third. Latias's Fluid Fortification passive skill reduces any damage it takes the more its stats are raised, but lowering its stats causes it to take more damage. While on its second HP bar, Latias will also gain or lose evasiveness if it dodged or failed to dodge, respectively, incoming attacks.

{{p|Tornadus}} was the ninth Legendary Arena boss Pokémon and could be battled from April 22 to May 6, 2021, September 21 to October 5, 2021, and December 9 to 23, 2021.

Normally, Tornadus is resistant to physical damage while on its first HP bar, to special damage while on its second, and all damage while on its third, and it is also protected from critical hits while on the third HP bar. These protections can be negated by inflicting Tornadus with a status condition, although it is immune to all except {{status|Paralysis}}. If paralyzed, Tornadus will use {{m|Toxic}} one time early in the fight; otherwise, it will use {{m|Rain Dance}} instead. It has a chance of curing its paralysis after using a move with Self-Cleanse passive skill. Tornadus resists status changes, such as [[flinch]]ing, {{status|confusion}}, or {{status|bound|trapped}}, with its resistance increasing each time it recovers from one, until it becomes immune. On the very hard difficulty and while on the third HP bar, Tornadus will have the Piercing Gaze passive skill which allows its moves to always hit.

{{p|Moltres}} was the tenth Legendary Arena boss Pokémon and could be battled from July 12 to 26, 2021 and February 24 to March 10, 2022. It could also be battled in the Legendary Gauntlet from March 24 to April 7, 2022. It is weak to {{type|Rock}} moves while on its first and third HP bars, and weak to {{type|Water}} moves while on its second. All [[weather]] conditions remain in effect until replaced with different weather; Moltres has a number of passive skills that activate during [[sunny]] weather, which it summons at the beginning of each HP bar and the halfway point of the second and third bars. Moltres can be [[flinch]]ed, but its resistance to flinching increases each time it recovers until it reaches 9.

{{p|Uxie}} was the eleventh Legendary Arena boss Pokémon and could be battled from October 22 to November 5, 2021, and January 7 to 21, 2022. It could also be battled in the Legendary Gauntlet from March 24 to April 7, 2022 and July 25 to August 19, 2022. It is weak to {{type|Ghost}} moves. While on its first HP bar, the Healthy Advantage passive skill reduces damage while Uxie is unaffected by status conditions; on the second bar, the Acute Senses passive skill reduces damage unless Uxie is affected by status changes (e.g., [[flinch]]ing or {{status|can't escape|restrained}}); and both passive skills take affect when Uxie is on its third HP bar. Additionally, passive skills increase Uxie's resistance to a status condition or interference condition (flinching, {{status|confusion}}, or {{status|bound|trapped}}) each time it recovers from one, until it becomes immune. On Very Hard difficulty, Uxie will also apply Special Damage Reduction to its side of the field while on its first bar and Physical Damage Reduction while on its third bar.
