Do the Treasures of Ruin Respawn?

Yes! After Waiting 10 Minutes and Restarting the Game

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV Wait for Legendary to Respawn.png

Based on our testing, you can make a legendary Pokemon respawn by waiting 10 minutes and restarting the game. Afterward, you can back go to the place where you interacted with the legendary to battle it again.

If you don't want to wait 10 minutes, you can simply move the time forward on your NIntendo Switch and restart the game to respawn the legendary!

To avoid killing Legendary Pokemon, try using a Pokemon that can use False Swipe and a status effect to make it easier for you to catch them.
