How to Get Azelf

Catch in Crimson Mirelands

Azelf can be found inside a cavern in the middle of Lake Valor at Crimson Mirelands. It is one of three Pokemon you need to capture to complete Mission 21: Plate of the Lakes.

Steps to Encounter Azelf in Alabaster Icelands
1	Accept Mission 21: Plate of the Lakes from Cogita.
2	Go to Crimson Mirelands, then head to the Diamond Settlement.
3	Head for Lake Valor. Use your Hisuian Braviary to glide down to the middle of the lake and enter the cavern.
4	Once inside the cavern, Azelf will spawn. The battle will start once you throw a Pokemon at it. Using Pokemon with Dark, Bug, or Ghost type moves will quickly lower Azelf's health.
5	Be sure to capture the Pokemon once it's weakened!

Azelf Respawns if Defeated

If you take down Azelf, you can simply just exit Lake Valor, head to a base camp to rest, and go back to Azelf's location. You will find that Azelf is back and is ready for another round!

Conversely, fighting Azelf repeatedly can be a good chance to rack up some EXP.
