Return home after you have beaten the Elite Four of Sinnoh and interact with the television.
Now, you need to obtain Dialga, Palkia and Arceus‘s seen data. To do that, we need first to find the three items respective to them:

They will request the prerequisites before entering each cave.

The guardian will ask you a question first, where you need to answer saying ‘Bidoof‘.
Then, he will ask you to show him a Bidoof native of Sinnoh that has your OT, meaning you have to be the one to catch it.

The one he’ll ask for must native to Sinnoh and be OT, meaning you have to be the one to catch it.
After you have shown the requested Pokémon, the guardian will let you pass and you will be able to battle Azelf to get its seen data.
Catch a Lake Trio Legendary
Once you have obtained the seen data, you will then be able to catch one of the three Lake Trio legendaries. However, there are additional requisites for this:
- 500+ hours in game
- 220 or more evolutions in your Pokédex entries
- 75 or more Sinnoh native Pokédex entries.
To make your chosen Lake Guardian appear, you need to speak to Dawn at Rowan’s lab in Sandgem Town, she will ask you which one you wish to catch and then that guardian will appear in its lake.
When attempting to catch one of them, there are a few suggestions. One would be to have a significant amount of Ultra Balls or a Master Ball if you have one at hand. As well as bringing a Pokémon to put a status condition on the legendary. For instance Sleep Powder, Thunder Wave, or any move of this nature. Be sure the one you select is the one you want the most.
