Roamers and secrets
PokeSpire legendary Pokémon
A legendary is a random node, or a fight that exists only after you beat the champion. It is not a prize for walking into the first area.

What I checked
I did not see a legendary on a screenshot. The title screen and a normal battle are here so the page is not a wall of text. The locations come from build 20070350, and the Hoenn names are repeated in the Hoenn devlog.
One Reddit player said they missed Articuno in Act 1 and met Mewtwo at the end. That matches the roam rules and the post-champion cave. It does not mean Articuno is guaranteed on the first map.
How a roam works
In the build, each act has a 45% chance to turn one wild or mystery node on floors 8–11 into a legendary. Each species appears at most once per run. Roamers flee after 4 turns. A Fast Ball is ×3 against a fleeing species. A throw still costs 1 energy.
The catch chance is clamped from 2% to 95%. Legendary species multiply it down (the build uses 0.45 as a class factor; with an additional species multiplier of 0.25 for Mewtwo or 0.3 for the weather trio). A Master Ball hits. I am not printing a single “catch percent,” because HP, ball, and status change it.
