How to ride Miraidon and Koraidon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

While you can’t use traditional bikes in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, using Legendaries as a mode of transport certainly brings more uniqueness.

Depending on the game, accessing Koraidon or Miraidon is pretty easy since it’s intertwined with the main story and you don’t have to do anything special. Once you start the game you will have to go through a prologue that will eventually lead you to a nearby cliff to investigate the source of the mysterious noise. Here you will meet the Legendary of the respective game, after which Nemona will ask you to attend the Mesagoza School.

Upon entering the school, you will interact with Nemona, Arven and Director Clavell and learn about the main quest lines, Victory Road, Path of Legends and Starfall Street. As the day draws to a close, Nemona suggests you rest in the dormitory for the night, and after going through a few cutscenes, you’ll be given instructions on how to board the Legendary for the journey. To do this, simply press the “+” button on your console and you will immediately climb the Legendary. To get the Pokemon running, use the Control Pad, commonly known as Dpad. You can also make your Pokémon jump by pressing the “B” button. Pressing the “+” button again dismounts the trainers.
