No. Once you catch a legendary Pokemon it will not re-appear, even if you release it. They only re-appear after defeating the Elite Four if you caused them to faint rather than catch.

Can you catch legendary more than once?

One more note\u2014once you've caught a Legendary Pok\xe9mon, you can't catch another one of the same species, even if you encounter it a second time in the Max Lair. Dynamax Adventures in the Max Lair are fun and rewarding with a whole slew of Legendary Pok\xe9mon ready for your challenge.

How many times can you catch a Legendary Pokémon?

There will usually only be one Legendary available to catch at a time, although this sometimes changes if there's a special event. During Pokemon Go Fest 2021, for example, every single Legendary showed up!

What happens if you run away from Legendary Pokémon?

In Generations I and II, if the player runs from an in-game event Pok\xe9mon, it becomes permanently unavailable (except the Electrode in Team Rocket HQ).
