SO! I am playing the Pokemon DLC (Indigo Disk) and Iwas wondering if anyone else can help me with a certain element.

Without getting spoilery, Once you're done the DLC's story you can unlock up to 25 returning legendaries from prior gens (The bird trio, the feline trio, stuff like Latios/Latias, Kyogre/Groudon, etc) by doing some Points quests. (In the DLC you can do specific tasks like picking up items, catching certain pokemon, travelling, making TMs, etc). For every ten you do you can unlock a random one from a selection.

There are 4 levels. Level 1 is the bird trio and Kubfu, which both games (Scarlet and Violet) Can get solo. Level 2 is stuff that can be achieved solo but is differentiated by game. For example, Kyogre is Violet only and Groudon is Scarlet only. I have all the level 1 and level 2 legendaries.

But then Level 3 is a different story. I am in scarlet and can get all the ones exclusive to Violet if I do coop with a friend. So even though I have Groudon, I can also get Kyogre if I do coop.

And this is where I get confused. Because level 4 is only 3 pokemon. The in-between mons. Rayquaza, Kyurem, and Necrozma. You know, the ones that came later with the third version or dlc/alts. (Giratina would be here as well but I think they already released it via code).

So my question and confusion is: What is the difference between levels 3 and 4. Both require coop but I don't quite know what that means and what the difference is. Everywhere I look I'm told, outright, that there IS a distinct difference, and that th emethods to getting them are different but for the life of me I can't discern what the difference is. I have a theory, that the Other Version exclusive ones are just achieved via doing tasks while in coop, but like...the lowest level ones? Is there a difference between low level ones and gold ones? The tasks are....

IT's all confusing. Does anyone have a written explanation from it, from like a website that isn't youtube? All the youtube explanations I can find fail to explain the difference between 3 and 4. I'm only asking becuase I don't wanna spend an hour doing coop stuff with my buddy only to realize I've been grinding the wrong quests.

He has Violet, I'm on scarlet.
