Legendary Pokemon are one-time encounters and cannot be fought again after you encounter them. The only exceptions to these are the Roaming Legendaries, which you can fight again after an encounter.

Do take note that some legendaries will only appear based on your starter. You cannot get them without trading.

List of All Legendary Pokemon

Snorlax in Routes 12 and 16

FRLG - Use the Poke Flute on Snorlax

Pokemon FRLG - Snorlax Snorlax

There are two Snorlax Pokemon you can encounter in the game, with both being guaranteed encounters if you interact with them using the Poke Flute.

You cannot encounter a Snorlax in the wild, so you can only capture them here.

How to Wake Up Snorlax

Masterball from Giovanni

FRLG - Receive Master Ball From the President.png
There is only one Masterball in a single playthrough of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, obtainable by defeating Giovanni in Silph Co. Use this carefully, ideally on a Legendary Pokemon, as it guarantees a 100% catch rate when used.

Master Ball Location and Who to Use It On

TMs and HMs in the Overworld

All Pokemon Machine Guides
All TMs All HMs

There are special moves that can be learned from TMs and HMs collected in the Overworld. These items are missable, so search for them while progressing through the story!

TMs are also one-time use, as having a Pokemon learn the move removes the item from your inventory.

S.S. Anne Becomes Unavailable

SS Anne Choice
The S.S. Anne cruise liner is a one-time challenge that becomes unavailable after completing all of its content. Be sure to collect everything before it disappears!

SS Anne Map and Location Guide

Should You Pick Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan?

Pokemon FRLG - Flareon Flareon
