If you failed to catch them on your first shot, you'll still get a chance at redemption.

Battling legendary or mythical Pokémon has always been a troublesome task in Pokémon games, but Pokémon Legends: Arceus makes it more enjoyable. Though it seems players can only fight these Pokémon once through their playthrough, that is not the case for Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus.

If you couldn’t enjoy your first fight with Dialga, Palkia, or Arceus during your first encounter with them, you can try again later in the game.

After you complete the game—which includes finishing the Pokédex and challenging Arceus for the first time—you’ll want to head back to the Temple of Sinnoh.

Once you arrive at the Temple of Sinnoh, your Arc Phone should begin to beep. Opening the device will offer you the chance for a rematch and give you the option of choosing between Dialga, Palkia, or Arceus.

Select the Pokémon you’d like to face and you’ll be sent into the battle with that Pokémon, giving you the chance to capture it.
