Basically, both of them require you to finish the game and unlock the National Pokedex, so there’s a bit of legwork involved if you’re expecting them to just pop into your boxes. Before you follow these steps, make sure you have the 1.3.0 update verified so you’re able to get the items required to square off against Arceus and Darkrai.
