{{for|the similar group of rarer Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon}}
{{nihongo|'''Legendary Pokémon'''|伝説のポケモン|Densetsu no Pokemon|literally meaning; "Pokémon of Legends"}} are extremely rare and mostly powerful Pokémon which they are also called to be as {{nihongo|'''Pokémon Illusions'''|幻のポケモン|Maboroshi no Pokemon|literally meaning; "Phantom Pokémon"}}. Legendary Pokémon are unique in each and every region in the Pokémon series and also beloved by criminal organizations such as [[Team Rocket]] which they believe that with their power they can control the world. Legendary Pokémon can also be seen as mythical Pokémon, such as the [[Sinnoh]] Legendaries that shaped the world. In the Pokémon anime it can be assumed that there are more than one legendary Pokémon. Legendary Pokémon are extremely hard to capture but they can be easily defeated in the video games. Each and every Legendary Pokémon in the series are extremely hard to capture, only if you don't count the [[Master Ball]]s.

  +
The Kantonian Legendary Birds first appeared in the games Pokémon Red, Green, and, outside of Japan, Blue Versions. Articuno is hidden within the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Zapdos can be found at the Kanto [[Power Plant (Kanto)|Power Plant]], while Moltres can be captured in [[Victory Road]]. ''[[Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition|Pokémon Yellow]]'' featured the trio in their previous locations, while later games featuring Kanto moved Moltres to different areas: in ''[[Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version|FireRed and LeafGreen]]'', the Flame Pokémon was at [[Mt. Ember]] and in Mt. Silver in ''[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Version|HeartGold and SoulSIlver]]''. ''[[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]]'' featured the Legendary Birds as [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]] after the player character defeats the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]]. In ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'', the three legendary birds appear as [[Shadow Pokémon]] and are originally used by [[Grand Master Greevil]]. In [[Pokémon X and Pokémon Y]], one of the birds may be found roaming [[Kalos]] after defeating the [[Pokémon League]], with the Pokémon depending on the player character's [[First partner Pokémon|starter]]. If the player character chooses [[Chespin]], they will encounter Articuno; if they have [[Fennekin]], they will see Zapdos; and if they picked [[Froakie]], they may catch Moltres. The bird must be encountered 11 times, however, before they will retreat to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]] and become available for capture. In ''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]'', the trio are featured in their previous locations from Red, Blue, and Yellow, but can also be found roaming in the sky after the player has beaten the Pokémon League.
  +
  +
The Galarian Legendary Birds first appeared in the games ''[[Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]]'' in their [[Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass|Expansion Pass]].

Galarian Articuno can be found in the Crown Tundra, Galarian Zapdos is located in the [[Wild Area]], and Moltres can be spotted in the [[Isle of Armor]].
   
  +
In the anime, all three Legendary Pokémon appear in the film ''[[MS002: Pokémon the Movie 2000|The Power of One]]'', where they reside at Shamouti Island. Local legend claimed that if the three began fighting, only [[Lugia (MS002)|Lugia]] could calm the birds. Each Legendary has also been shown in the anime episodes.
The three legendary bird Pokemon that was the guardian and creator is Lugia who serves as Trio Master.
 
   
  +
In a similar vein to several other Legendary Pokémon, the Legendary Birds are part of a trio, with Lugia serving as a trio master.
The three legendaries all have the first Spanish numbers in their name"UNO""dos" "tres"
 
   
  +
Their names come from their controlling element and the numbers one, two, and three in Spanish: "Arctic", referring to the geological area, and ''"uno"'', one; "Zap", a strike associated with electricity, and ''"dos"'', two; and "Molt", from ''molten'' and ''"tres"'', three.
The three legendary birds have a manga only fusion called [[Zapmolcuno]].
 
   
  +
In the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are fused into one Pokémon known as [[Zapmolcuno]].

{{Nihongo|[[Mewtwo]]|ミュウツー||lit. Myuutsuu}} is a man-made Pokémon created by scientists in the Pokémon Mansion and is a {{Type|Psychic}} type.
The {{nihongo|'''Mew Duo'''|ミュウデュオ|Myū Duo}} or also known as {{nihongo|'''DNA Duo'''|DNAのデュオ|DNA Duo}} are the two legendary Pokémon [[Mewtwo]] and [[Mew]]. [[Mewtwo]] is the clone of [[Mew]], one of the [[Mythical Pokémon]]. It is known that Mewtwo was given birth to by Mew by researchers after obtaining Mew's DNA. Mewtwo is created in a Pokémon Mansion on [[Cinnabar Island]] also known is that the Cinnabar Island [[Gym Leader]] [[Blaine]] also had something to do with the cloning of Mew. Unfortunately, Mewtwo was an angry Pokémon and it destroyed the Pokémon Mansion. After that Mewtwo travelled to the [[Cerulean Cave]] and is currently residing there.
 
Strange knowing is that Mewtwo is actually the clone of Mew, but Mewtwo comes first in the Pokédex. Mewtwo number in the National Pokédex is #150, that of Mew is #151. It can be because Mew is a mythical Pokémon and it is rarely seen by humans while Mewtwo has been created by humans through DNA. Also Mew wasn't legitimately available in the Generation 1 games although was mentioned in journals in the Pokémon mansion, and all references to the number of Pokémon in the region state there are 150 not 151, Mew's Pokedex number is 151.
 
   
  +
Mewtwo originally appeared in Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue as a hidden Pokémon. It could be found within Cerulean Cave after beating the Elite Four and becoming the Kanto Region Champion.
Generation VI introduces [[Mega Pokémon]], a new type of evolution. The Genetic Pokémon Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve into two different Mega Pokémon depending on the version of the game. He can turn into [[Mega Mewtwo X]] using a Mewtwonite X- which is available in ''X'' version, and [[Mega Mewtwo Y]] using a Mewtwonite Y - which is available in ''Y'' version. Mega Mewtwo X is a dual [[Psychic]]/[[Fighting]]-type while Mega Mewtwo Y retains Mewtwo's pure [[Psychic]] nature. The ability and stats of Mega Mewtwo also differs between versions.
 
   
  +
In the anime, Mewtwo serves as the titular Pokémon in ''[[MS001: Pokémon: The First Movie|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''; in the former, it is revealed that Mewtwo is a genetically enhanced clone of [[Mew]], commissioned by [[Giovanni]]. After being controlled by Giovanni, Mewtwo sets out to control the world with its own clone Pokémon.

In [[Generation VI]], Mewtwo was given two [[Mega Evolution]]s, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y, which feature different stats and abilities. The stones necessary to cause the evolution are Mewtwonite X, which evolves Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X, a {{Type|Psychic}}/{{Type|Fighting}}-type, and Mewtwonite Y, which evolves Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo Y, which remains {{Type|Psychic}}. The stones could originally be found in Pokémon X and Y, respectively, after capturing Mewtwo within the [[Unknown Dungeon]] located at [[Pokémon Village]] after defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Champion. Both can also be located in ''[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]]'' in Littleroot Town and the Pokémon League respectively. In ''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]'', these stones can be obtained after going to [[Cerulean Cave]] a second time, after catching Mewtwo, and then, defeating [[Green]].

The {{Nihongo|[[Legendary Beasts]]|{{Ruby|伝説|でんせつ}}の{{Ruby|獣|けもの}}|Densetsu no Kemono}} consist of the {{Type|Electric}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Raikou]]|ライコウ|Raikou}}, the {{Type|Fire}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Entei]]|エンテイ|Entei}}, and the {{Type|Water}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Suicune]]|スイクン|Suikun}}.
The {{nihongo|'''Legendary Beasts'''|伝説の獣|Densetsu no Kemono}} trio contains [[Raikou]] an Electric-type Thunder Pokémon, [[Entei]] a Fire-type Volcano Pokémon and [[Suicune]] a Water-type Aurora Pokémon. Raikou, Entei and Suicune originally died because of lightning struck the [[Brass Tower]]. It is known that they were located in the Brass Tower and that it burned to the ground with them trapped inside. Luckily, all three were revived by [[Ho-Oh]] and the three are roaming around Johto, it is unknown if the three were originally a Raikou, an Entei and a Suicune or if Ho-Oh changed them into a Raikou, an Entei and a Suicune from something else when it revived them.
 
  +
  +
These three Legendaries were originally unidentified Pokémon trapped and killed within the [[Brass Tower]] when it burned down due to lightning. [[Ho-Oh]] revived the trio with each Pokémon acquiring an attribute of the accident: [[Raikou]], an Electric-type, symbolized the lightning that had struck the tower; [[Entei]], a Fire-type, was the flames that had engulfed the tower; and [[Suicune]], a Water-type, represented the rain that put out the blaze. Those that witnessed the accident and revival of the trio feared their power, causing the beasts to flee. As a result, they are the first [[roaming Pokémon]] the player character encounters.
  +
  +
In ''[[Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version|Pokémon Gold and Silver]]'', the trio will individually wander the Johto region after the player character first encounters them in the Brass Tower. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]]'', the player character is also required to force [[Team Rocket]] to vacate the [[Radio Tower]] and acquire the [[Clear Bell]] to meet Suicune in the [[Tin Tower]]. In Pokémon Colosseum the trio were captured by [[Cipher]] and transformed into Shadow Pokémon; each are owned by different [[Cipher Admin|Admins]]. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, one member may be found roaming Kanto after defeating the Pokémon League; if the player character chose [[Bulbasaur]] they may find Entei; if the First partner Pokémon is [[Charmander]], then Suicune is roaming; if the player character has [[Squirtle]], then Raikou can be found. The encounters in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver have similar circumstances to those in Crystal; however, Suicune must be followed throughout the Kanto region until it stops at [[Route 25]], outside [[Bill]]'s house, where it may be battled. Notably, [[Eusine]] chases Suicune throughout the game but is constantly eluded.
   
  +
All three members of the trio have appeared as a major character of separate movies and in episodes of the anime. An [[Unown]]-produced Entei served as an antagonist-turned-protagonist in ''[[MS003: Pokémon 3: The Movie|Spell of the Unown]]'', while Suicune helped heal Celebi by purifying a lake's water in [[MS004: Pokémon 4Ever|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] versions of each member also appeared in ''[[MS013: Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', where they attempted to defeat a Zoroark.
In the game [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], the trio are wandering around Johto after that they are being discovered in the Brass Tower. In [[Pokémon Crystal]] only Raikou and Entei were roaming around Johto after that the trio are being discovered in the Brass Tower. Only Suicune that is also the mascot of the Pokémon Crystal Version will be able to face the player at the [[Tin Tower]] after that [[Team Rocket]] has been disbanded in the [[Radio Tower]] after controlling it to get in contact with their former leader [[Giovanni]]. You can only face Suicune after obtaining the Clear Bell from the director after defeating Team Rocket. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], they were captured by Cipher and they got turned into Shadow Pokémon. In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] one of the trio will be roam around the Kanto region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]] which depends on the [[Starter Pokémon]] that has been chosen by the player. If the starter Pokémon is [[Squirtle]] then it would be [[Raikou]], if the starter Pokémon is [[Bulbasaur]] then it would be Entei, if the starter would be [[Charmander]] then it would be [[Suicune]]. In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] the meeting contains almost the same as in Pokémon Crystal. Raikou and Entei are still roaming around Johto but the player can face Suicune after defeating the Pokémon League and following him in the Kanto region until [[Kanto Route 25|Route 25]] outside [[Bill]]'s house. In the game and in the anime [[Eusine]] is constantly chasing Suicune, but Suicune manages to escape from him constantly.
 
   
  +
Unlisted here is Raikou's appearance in the ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'' episode ''Legend of Thunder!'', where it was being hunted by members of Team Rocket.

The {{Nihongo|[[Tower Duo]]|タワーデュオ|Tawā Duo}} are the two bird-like Pokémon; the {{Type|Fire}}/{{Type|Flying}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Ho-Oh]]|ホウオウ|Houou}} and the {{Type|Psychic}}/{{Type|Flying}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Lugia]]|ルギア|Rugia}}.
The {{nihongo|'''Tower Duo'''|タワーデュオ|Tawā Duo}} are the two legendary bird-like Pokémon, [[Ho-Oh]] a Fire/Flying dual-type Rainbow Pokémon and [[Lugia]] a Psychic/Flying dual-type Diving Pokémon. Ho-Oh and Lugia are considered to be a legendary duo Pokémon in the Johto region. Ho-Oh is known as "the guardian of the skies" and Lugia is known as "the guardian of the seas". Ho-Oh was the first legendary Pokémon that has been appeared in the anime, it appeared in the very first episode of the Pokémon series, however at the time Ho-Oh had not been officially announced and wasn't identified in the episode.
 
   
  +
Known as the "guardian of the skies" and "guardian of the seas" respectively, Ho-Oh and Lugia formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]], claiming the [[Tin Tower]] and [[Brass Tower]]. When lightning struck the [[Brass Tower]] and burned the building, Lugia escaped to the Whirlpool Islands. Ho-Oh remained long enough to revive three Pokémon that had been trapped within the tower, creating the Legendary Beasts, but left in search of a pure-hearted Trainer; thus, Ho-Oh is considered their trio master. It is said that the three Pokémon that died in the tower were a Flareon, Jolteon, and a Vaporeon.
The history of Ho-Oh and Lugia are similar, long time ago two towers were built in Ecruteak City, the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Brass Tower]]. Ho-Oh resides in the Bell Tower while Lugia resides in the Brass Tower. Several years later, the Brass Tower was caught in a great fire causing Lugia to flee the tower to the Whirlpool Islands, however three Pokémon were trapped inside (the Legendary Beasts), Ho-Oh stayed to revive them. The sudden burn of the Brass Tower caused Ho-Oh also to flee away to search for a pure-hearted trainer. In the video game series, Ho-Oh is the main mascot of the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold]] series and Lugia is the main mascot of the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver]] series. However there is a change in both of the games if it goes about how to obtain them. In Pokémon Gold video game you can capture Ho-Oh after obtaining the Rainbow Wing after that you've disbanded Team Rocket from the Radio Tower, but in Pokémon Silver after defeating the Pokémon League you can obtain the Rainbow Wing from a citizen in [[Pewter City]]. In Pokémon Crystal you will obtain the Rainbow Wing after capturing all the three legendary Pokémon: Raikou, Entei and Suicune. In the Pokémon Silver video game you can capture Lugia after obtaining the Silver Wing after that you've disbanded Team Rocket from the Radio Tower, but in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Crystal after beating the Pokémon League you can gain the Silver Wing from a citizen in [[Pewter City]]. You can obtain Ho-Oh in Pokémon Gold at the Bell Tower and Lugia at the [[Whirl Islands]].

Both Pokémon appear in the Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions; their method of encounter varies between the games. In Gold, the player character may capture Ho-Oh, a Fire/Flying-type, at the Tin Tower once acquiring a [[Rainbow Wing]] after Team Rocket leaves the Goldenrod Radio Tower, and locate Lugia, a Psychic/Flying-type, at the Whirlpool Islands once given a [[Silver Wing]] from a citizen in [[Pewter City]]. In Pokémon Silver, this is reversed: the player character is given the Silver Wing once Team Rocket leaves the Radio Tower and the Rainbow Wing in Pewter City. In Pokémon Crystal, the player character must capture Raikou, Entei, and Suicune to gain the Rainbow Wing, and visit the Pewter City resident to gain the Silver Wing. Both Pokémon reappear in FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as ''[[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]]'', but must be gained through an event; they may be found at [[Naval Rock]] if the player character has a [[MysticTicket]]. Ho-Oh can be caught in Pokémon Colosseum if the player character purifies all Shadow Pokémon in the game, while Lugia can be caught as a Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Contrary to initial belief, this Lugia is capable of being purified. Ho-Oh and Lugia return again in HeartGold and SoulSilver and may be acquired under similar circumstances, though the player character must also have a [[Clear Bell]] and [[Tidal Bell]] for each Legendary.
Ho-Oh and Lugia also reappear in the [[Pokémon LeafGreen and FireRed]] and [[Pokémon Emerald]] series but throughout an event. Ho-Oh and Lugia both are located at [[Naval Rock]] through the MysticTicket. Lugia plays a major role in the [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] video game series as [[Shadow Lugia]], this Lugia could be purified, contrary to what many people thought at first. Ho-Oh can be obtained in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] for purifying all shadow Pokémon in the vide game. Ho-Oh and Lugia also re-appear in the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] video game series, the plot of to face them has been remained the same but in order to obtain Lugia required a Silver Wing and also a Tidal Bell, in order to obtain Ho-Oh it requires a Clear Bell and Rainbow Wing. It is said that Ho-Oh will give a person eternal happiness if someone sees him.

Both Pokémon have appeared within the anime, though only Lugia has made an appearance in a film, ''[[MS002: Pokémon the Movie 2000|The Power of One]]''. In the film, Lugia was the only creature capable of quelling the three Legendary Birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, making Lugia their trio master. Lugia was created by Takeshi Shudo, the head anime writer of the film, only for this sole purpose in the film, and was later used on the box art for Pokémon Silver by Game Freak after the movie's success. Lugia has also made an appearance in the film ''[[MS018: Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Ho-Oh, however, was the first Legendary Pokémon to appear in the anime, debuting at the end of the first episode of the series. At the time Ho-Oh had not been officially announced nor was it identified in the episode, being endemic to Johto.
Although the Tower Duo, Lugia and Ho-oh creating the three legendary Pokemon which is Lugia's three legendary birds and Ho-oh's three legendary beasts.

The {{Nihongo|Hoenn [[Legendary Titans]]|{{Ruby|伝説|でんせつ}}のタイタンズ|Densetsu no taitanzu}}, also known as the {{Nihongo|Regi Trio|ゴーレムトリオ|Gōremu Torio}}, consists of three Legendary golem-like Pokémon: [[Regirock]], a {{Type|Rock}}-type, [[Regice]], an {{Type|Ice}}-type, [[Registeel]], a {{Type|Steel}}-type. According to legend, they were shaped by their trio master, [[Regigigas]]. As their names and typing suggest, Regirock was formed from rocks, Regice from ice, and Registeel from steel.
The {{nihongo|'''Golem Trio'''|ゴーレムトリオ|Gōremu Torio}} contains the three legendary golem Pokémon: [[Regirock]] a Rock-type Peak Pokémon, [[Regice]] a Ice-type Iceberg Pokémon and [[Registeel]] a Steel-type Iron Pokémon. According to the legend, the three golems have been shaped by [[Regigigas]]. Regirock has been created out of rocks, Regice has been created out of ice and Registeel has been created out of steel. The three golems first appears in the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] versions. In order to gain them the player must go underwater to a place named the [[Sealed Chamber]] which can be reach by diving [[Hoenn Route 134|Route 134]]. For that you need a Pokémon who can use dig a [[Relicanth]] and a [[Wailord]]. After completing the task the three legendary golems have their chambers opened, which Regirock is located in the [[Desert Ruins]], Regice is located in the [[Island Cave]] and Registeel is located in the [[Ancient Tomb]]. In the [[Pokémon Platinum]] video game series, Regirock is located at the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], which Regice at the [[Iceberg Ruins]] and Registeel at the [[Iron Ruins]], however they can only be obtained through event.
 
  +
  +
The trio makes their first appearance in ''[[Pokémon Ruby Version and Pokémon Sapphire Version|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]'', as well as in Emerald. Finding the golems is similar in each game: the player character must first travel to the underwater [[Sealed Chamber]], found by [[Dive|diving]] in [[Route 134]] with a [[Relicanth]] and [[Wailord]] in their team. Upon completion of the task, each golem will be unlocked and may be found throughout Hoenn. Specifically, Regirock is within the [[Desert Ruins]] of [[Route 111]], Regice is in the [[Island Cave]] on [[Route 105]], and Registeel inside the [[Ancient Tomb]], in [[Route 120]]. Each comes with their own specific tasks and requirements: in Ruby and Sapphire, to gain Regirock, the player character must read the inscription then move right twice, down twice, and use [[Strength]]; to find Regice, the player character must read the inscription and wait two minutes without interacting with the game; to fight Registeel, the player character must read the inscription, then use Fly in the center of the room. In Pokémon Emerald, the player character must instead use Rock Smash, run around the chamber while staying next to the walls, and use Flash for Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, respectively. In Pokémon Platinum, Regirock may be found at the [[Rock Peak Ruins (Sinnoh)|Rock Peak Ruins]], Regice at the [[Iceberg Ruins (Sinnoh)|Iceberg Ruins]], and Registeel within the [[Iron Ruins (Sinnoh)|Iron Ruins]]; however, they are event-only. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the method of acquiring the golem trio is the same as it is in Ruby and Sapphire. The trio, along with [[#Galar Legendary Titans|Regieleki and Regidrago]], can be found in temples of the same names as Sinnoh's within the [[Crown Tundra]] included in ''[[Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass]]''.
   
  +
All three of the trio have appeared in ''[[MS008: Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as guardians of the [[Tree of Beginning]]. A Regirock, Regice, and Registeel also belonged to [[Pyramid King Brandon]] in the anime.

The {{Nihongo|[[Eon Duo]]|イオンデュオ|Ion Duo}} is formed by the twin Pokémon [[Latios]] and [[Latias]].
The {{nihongo|'''Eon Duo'''|イオンデュオ|Ion Duo}} consist of the twins, [[Latios]] a Dragon/Psychic dual-type Eon Pokémon and [[Latias]] also a Dragon/Psychic dual-type Pokémon. Latios is a full male and Latias is a full female. In the anime movie of the Pokémon series they are the guardians of [[Alto Mare]] and have a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]]. Latios is a roaming Pokémon in Pokémon Ruby while Latias is a roaming Pokémon in Pokémon Sapphire. In the Pokémon Emerald video game series there is still one roaming around Hoenn which the player can choose after defeating the Pokémon League. In Pokémon Ruby in Pokémon Sapphire they can also be obtained by using the Eon Ticket given out by Nintendo Power. They re-appear again in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver also as roaming Pokémon. Latias appears only in Pokémon HeartGold and Latios in Pokémon SoulSilver. Another way to get the Eon Duo is through an event that contains the obtaining of a [[Enigma Stone]] which the player must go after defeating the Pokémon League to the Pewter City museum where the player meets the Hoenn region champion [[Steven]] stating that the Enigma Stone is actually a Soul Dew, Latias will appear in front of you in Pokémon SoulSilver and Latios in Pokémon HeartGold.
 
   
  +
Both Pokémon are {{Type|Dragon}}/{{Type|Psychic}}-type, identified as the "Eon Pokémon"; in all instances, Latios are male and Latias are female. The duo is said to be a brother-sister duo. Both are roaming Pokémon in their first appearance, with Latios appearing in Pokémon Ruby and Latias appearing in Pokémon Sapphire. In Emerald, the player character selects which Pokémon will roam Hoenn after defeating the Pokémon League. In all three games, if the player character has the [[Eon Ticket]], they may encounter the other Pokémon on [[Southern Island]]. Both reappear in HeartGold and SoulSilver as roaming Pokémon, with Latias appearing in HeartGold and Latios in SoulSilver; they will only roam the Kanto region in these games. Once the player character has defeated the Pokémon League and obtained the [[National Pokédex]], they may bring the event-only item, the [[Enigma Stone]], to [[Steven Stone]] in Pewter City. He will identify it as a [[Soul Dew]] and the Eon Pokémon that does not roam the Kanto region will attack the player character. Should they fail to capture the Pokémon, it will continue returning to the same spot it was encountered.

As of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, both Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolving using Latiosite or Latiasite. In addition to aesthetic changes, each Pokémon's stats and abilities change upon evolution.
=== The Weather Trio ===
 
  +
  +
Both Pokémon appear in the film ''[[MS005: Pokémon - Heroes: Latios and Latias|Heroes: Latios and Latias]]'' as guardians of [[Alto Mare]]. The film focuses on the Soul Dew, which the film confirms as a Latios'/Latias' crystallized soul. [[Tobias]] used a Latios during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. [[Nurse Joy]] used a Latias in a battle against [[Forrest]] in [[Pewter City]]. They both also appear in their Mega forms in the film [[MS018: Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]. Ash soon encountered a wounded Latias after she crash-landed into a lake during his travels. But after healing her while protecting her from Team Rocket, she began to follow him while being invisible.

The {{Nihongo|[[Weather Trio]]|{{Ruby|天気|てんき}}トリオ|Tenki Torio}}, also known as the {{Nihongo|Ancient Trio|{{Ruby|古代|こだい}}トリオ|Kodai Torio}}, is composed of the {{Type|Water}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Kyogre]]|カイオーガ|Kaiooga}}, the {{Type|Ground}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Groudon]]|グラードン|Guraadon}}, and the {{Type|Dragon}}/{{Type|Flying}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Rayquaza]]|レックウザ|Rekkuuza}}.
The {{nihongo|'''Weather Trio'''|天気トリオ|Tenki Torio}}, also known as the {{nihongo|'''Ancient Trio'''|古代トリオ|Kodai Torio}} consists of [[Kyogre]] a Water-type Sea Basin Pokémon, [[Groudon]] a Ground-type Continent Pokémon and [[Rayquaza]] a Dragon/Flying dual-type Sky High Pokémon. According to the myths of the three legendary Pokémon it is said that Kyogre have the power to bring forth the rain and therefore expand the sea, Groudon is said to ward off rain and expand land by evaporating the water with light and heat. It is said that Rayquaza is the protector of the skies and is seen living mostly in the atmosphere. Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza are also mascots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]. Kyogre is the mascot of the Pokémon Sapphire Version, Groudon that of Pokémon Ruby Version and Rayquaza that of Pokémon Emerald Version. Groudon doesn't appear in Pokémon Sapphire and Kyogre doesn't appear in Pokémon Ruby. Groudon can be captured at [[Cave of Origin]] in Pokémon Ruby Version only and Kyogre also at the Cave of Origin but in Pokémon Sapphire only. Rayquaza can be captured at [[Sky Pillar]] in both versions. In Pokémon Emerald Version their capturing schedule has been changed knowing that they are only obtainable after defeating the Pokémon League. Groudon can be found at the [[Terra Cave]] and Kyogre can be found at the [[Marine Cave]]. They do re-appear in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] which the player can gain a Blue Orb in Pokémon HeartGold Version and a Red Orb in Pokémon SoulSilver Version, there is also a third orb called the Jade Orb which can be obtained both in the video games. Bring one of the two orbs to the [[Embedded Tower]] to encounter one of the three Pokémon. During Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Team Aqua were after Kyogre and Team Magma were after Groudon to use them for their own means.
 
   
  +
Hoenn's legends claim that Kyogre could call upon rain and created the sea, while Groudon used heat to repel rain and expand the continents, creating land. These two Pokémon clashed whenever they met and could only be stopped by Rayquaza, who lived in the atmosphere. As such, Rayquaza is considered the trio master.
Rayquaza has a fusion form with Mismagius that only appears in the anime, it is referred to as [[Ghost Rayquaza]].
 
   
  +
In their original appearances, Groudon could only be caught in Ruby and Kyogre in Sapphire, with both being found at the [[Cave of Origin]]. Rayquaza could be caught in all three games, at [[Sky Pillar]]; in Ruby and Sapphire, it could be found after defeating the Elite Four, while in Emerald it was battled prior to fighting the Pokémon League. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player character could use the [[Blue Orb]] (HeartGold) or [[Red Orb]] (SoulSilver) at the Embedded Tower to call either Kyogre or Groudon and battle them. If the player character had a Kyogre and Groudon native to HeartGold or SoulSilver and brought them to [[Professor Oak]], he would give the player character the [[Jade Orb]], which could be used to summon Rayquaza in the same manner. Groudon and Kyogre make similar appearances in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; however, when the player character battles them, they have undergone [[Primal Reversion]] and have signature moves, [[Precipice Blades]] and [[Origin Pulse]], respectively. Rayquaza has also gained a Mega Evolution and its own signature move, [[Dragon Ascent]], which is necessary for Mega Evolution in lieu of a Mega Stone.

The {{nihongo|'''Lake Trio'''|レイクトリオ|Reiku Torio}} contains the three legendary Pokémon that has their own spots at the three known lakes of the Sinnoh region. The first being [[Uxie]] a Psychic-type Knowledge Pokémon, [[Azelf]] a Psychic-type Willpower Pokémon and [[Mesprit]] a Psychic-type Emotion Pokémon. The legend of their existence goes as followed, when the universe was created, Arceus created Pokémon to protect and embody spirit. Uxie was created to protect and embody knowledge, Azelf was created to protect and embody willpower and Mesprit was created to protect and embody emotion. The three lake guardians plays a major role in the [[Generation IV]] video game series. In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]] game series [[Team Galactic]]'s commanders captured the lake guardians for their leader [[Cyrus]] and he uses their powers to craft a [[Red Chain]] in order to take control of [[Dialga]] in Pokémon Diamond and [[Palkia]] in Pokémon Pearl and both of them in Pokémon Platinum and recreate the universe without spirit.
 
   
  +
The {{Nihongo|[[Lake Guardians]]|レイクトリオ|Reiku Torio}}, is named for the tendency of its members, {{Nihongo|[[Uxie]]|ユクシー|Yukushii}}, {{Nihongo|[[Mesprit]]|エムリット|Emuritto}}, and {{Nihongo|[[Azelf]]|アグノム|Agunomu}}, to remain in the vicinity of their respective lakes within the Sinnoh region.
In the Pokémon Platinum series they are playing a much larger role than in Diamond and Pearl. After that Cyrus takes control of Dialga and Palkia the three lake guardians arrived at the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]] to stop Cyrus and his plans, but their power is not enough to do. After that [[Giratina]] shows up and opens the [[Distortion World]] which Cyrus enters and after the player and [[Cynthia]] also enters to stop Cyrus the enter as well to help the player to achieve his/her path to get to Cyrus and Giratina.
 
   
After stopping Cyrus at Mt. Coronet, the three lake guardians are available to meet at the three lakes. To meet and capture Uxie it's waiting at [[Lake Acuity]], to meet and capture Azelf it's waiting at [[Lake Valor]], to only meet Mesprit it is waiting at [[Lake Verity]] but unfortunately it cannot be battled after you've talked to it, it flees and roams around Sinnoh.
+
All three members are purely {{Type|Psychic}}-type, and all three were created by Arceus to protect and embody certain concepts, and later, taught humans these traits. Uxie, who remains at [[Lake Acuity]], represents knowledge; Mesprit, who is close to [[Lake Verity]], symbolizes emotion; and Azelf, who is tied to [[Lake Valor]], is spirit or willpower. Thus, Arceus is considered the master of Lake Guardians.
   
  +
The Lake Guardians originally appear and play a major role in ''[[Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]'', where they are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s commanders, so [[Cyrus (Sinnoh)|Cyrus]] may use their powers to create a [[Red Chain]], which will allow him to take control of either [[Dialga]] or [[Palkia]], in Diamond and Pearl respectively, in order to recreate the universe without human spirit. In ''[[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]]'', he intends on chaining both Pokémon; in this case, the Lake Guardians appear before Cyrus to stop him but are too weak, causing [[Giratina]] to open the [[Distortion World]].

The {{nihongo|'''Lunar Duo'''|ルナデュオ|Runa Duo}} contains [[Cresselia]] a Psychic-type Lunar Pokémon and [[Darkrai]] a Dark-type Pitch-Black Pokémon. Cresselia represents the crescent moon which symbolizes hope and good dreams. Darkrai represents the new moon which represents fear, helplessness and nightmares. Unfortunately, Darkrai is more considered as a [[Mythical Pokémon]] instead of a Legendary Pokémon. Cresselia is a full female, Darkrai however is genderless.
 
   
  +
{{Nihongo|[[Cresselia]]|クレセリア|Crecelia}} is a Pokémon that resembles the Full Moon and dreams, and is the counterpart of the Mythical Pokémon [[Darkrai]].
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum video games, Cresselia can be found on Full Moon Island as part of a post-side quest to find a cure for Sailor Eldrich's son due to nightmares that he is having. At Full Moon Island the player finds Cresselia which will disappear leaving a Lunar Wing behind which can cure Eldrich's son from the nightmare's. After that, Cresselia will roam around Sinnoh which you can encounter her in the wild. Darkrai can only be found through an event which the player receives a member card to the mysterious inn in [[Canalave City]] which is usually locked. Once entering the mysterious, the player has been greeted by a man who says "Greetings [Name], we have a reservation for you. Right this way." and puts you in sleep on the bed in that is inside the inn. Once fallen asleep the player has been send to New Moon Island that is next to Full Moon Island. On this island you will encounter Darkrai. When you interact with it, you'll battle it and you can catch it. After you catch or defeat him, you wake up and the inn man is gone. When you walk out, go to the Pokémon Center, and if you caught it in the dream, it should already be in your PC.
 
Darkrai also takes in a Giant form in [[PokéPark 2: Beyond the World]]
 
   
  +
Cresselia, the {{Type|Psychic}}-type "Lunar Pokémon" was first encountered on Fullmoon Island; this is more or less coincidence, as while Cresselia is symbolic of the full moon.

The {{Nihongo|[[Tao Trio]]|タオトリオ|Tao Torio}}, also known as the {{Nihongo|Energy Trio|エネルギートリオ|Enerugī Torio}}, is formed by the {{Type|Dragon}}/{{Type|Fire}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Reshiram]]|レシラム|Reshiramu}}, the {{Type|Dragon}}/{{Type|Electric}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Zekrom]]|ゼクロム|Zekuromu}}, and the {{Type|Dragon}}/{{Type|Ice}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Kyurem]]|キュレム|Kyuremu}}.
The {{nihongo|'''Tao Trio'''|タオトリオ|Tao Torio}} also known as the {{nihongo|'''Energy Trio'''|エネルギートリオ|Enerugī Torio}} consists of [[Reshiram]] a Dragon/Fire dual-type Vast White Pokémon, [[Zekrom]] a Dragon/Electric dual-type Deep Black Pokémon and [[Kyurem]] a Boundary Pokémon. Each of the dragon trio symbolizes a specific energy and controls a specific type. Reshiram symbolizes Yang and controls the element '''fire''', Zekrom symbolizes Yin and controls '''electricity''' and Kyurem symbolizes Wuji and controls '''ice'''. It is known that Kyurem has two alternate forms that has been introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Version 2]] known as Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Black Kyurem is obtained by fusing Zekrom's genes with Kyurem that is only in the Pokémon Black 2 video game and White Kyurem is obtained by fusing Reshiram's genes with Kyurem that is only in Pokémon White 2. Kyurem can only change into those forms when the player has acquired the DNA Splicers. It is unknown if the transformation is painful for the dragons. In storyline they were originally one Pokémon that split into two when its twin owners argued over truth and ideals, Kyurem was left as a by-product.
 
  +
  +
Each dragon is symbolic of a specific energy in Taoism, hence the name; Reshiram is symbolic of Yang and controls '''fire''', Zekrom represents Yin and controls '''electricity''' while Kyurem is Wuji and controls '''ice'''. The three Pokémon were originally one unidentified dragon until their masters, who were twin heroes, began to argue. The older sought the truth and the younger was idealistic and, the dragon, being unable to concede to one side or the other, split into two in response, becoming Reshiram and Zekrom. Kyurem, then, was created by what remained of the original dragon, although a legend in Lacunosa Town claims it fell to the planet in an icy meteor; its ability to fuse with either Reshiram or Zekrom in Black 2 and White 2 with the [[DNA Splicers]] and become either White-Kyurem or Black-Kyurem supports the first legend, however.
  +
  +
Each member appeared as a major character in the franchise's films. Reshiram and Zekrom appeared in the films ''[[MS014: Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram / White—Victini and Zekrom|Black: Victini and Reshiram and White: Victini and Zekrom]]'', where Reshiram and Zekrom switched roles between the Black and White versions of the films. Kyurem acted as the main antagonist in ''[[MS015: Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice|Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice]]''.

The members of the Yggdrasil Trio consist of [[Xerneas]], a [[Fairy]]-type Pokemon, [[Yveltal]], a Dark/Flying-type Pokémon, and [[Zygarde]], a Dragon/Ground Pokemon. While Yveltal and Zygarde are dual type Pokemon, Xerneas is the only member of the Yggdrasil Trio that is not. 
 
   
  +
The {{Type|Fairy}}-type {{Nihongo|Xerneas|ゼルネアス|Zeruneasu}} and the {{Type|Dark}}/{{Type|Flying}}-type {{Nihongo|Yveltal|イベルタル|Iberutaru}} are symbolic of life and death: upon Xerneas' death, it forms a tree and gives life to its surroundings before falling into a 1,000-year slumber, while Yveltal takes the lives of everything around it before falling asleep in a cocoon form.
Two of the legendary Pokémon are also the main mascots of the video games ''[[Pokémon X and Y]]'' which Xerneas represents ''Pokémon X'' and Yveltal represents ''Pokémon Y''. There may be a ''Pokémon Z'' in the works (or Pokémon X2 and Y2, which would follow the example set by Pokemon Black2 and White2), given the third member of a legendary trio is always featured as a star Pokémon. In either ''Pokemon X or Y'', [[Team Flare]] would try using the dormant form of Xerneas or Yveltal to power the Ultimate Weapon; it remains to be seen if they will try something similar with Zygarde in a sequel.
 
   
  +
In Pokémon X and Y, [[Team Flare]] attempts to harness the dormant cocoon for its inherent energy and power the Ultimate Weapon; the player character intervenes and captures the Legendary before it can be utilized. Interestingly, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Rayquaza in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have the highest base catch rates due to their individual plotlines requiring the capture of the Pokémon in question.
The reason why Xeneas and Yveltal are sometimes considered as the Mortality Duo is due to the reason that they represent the letters of the two gender chromosomes, X and Y. It can also be inferred that Xerneas is female, as females have the XX chromosome set; and that Yveltal is male, as males have the XY chromosome set however this has not been confirmed; Zygarde may be genderless like most other Legendary Pokemon. The theme between the duo of Xerneas and Yveltal is enternal life and destruction. Given Zygarde's role as protector of the enviroment, he may be a representation of the middle ground between Xerneas and Yveltal , which is the state of the environment that decides how long others can live. and at one date you could get a Giratina.
 
  +
  +
Both Pokémon appeared in the film ''[[MS017: Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.
  +
  +
The {{Type|Dragon}}/{{Type|Ground}}-type {{Nihongo|Zygarde|ジガルデ|Jigarude}} has been described as the "guardian of the ecosystem". It monitors the ecosystem and will take action when it senses a threat to it. It does whatever is necessary to protect the ecosystem and will not hesitate to destroy any threat even if the threat is another living being.
  +
  +
It is the only Pokémon to have forms that are not or are questionably Pokémon, as its "Zygarde Cells", being simple and incapable of using moves, are not considered Pokémon. Zygarde Cores are Zygarde without any cells and are also unable to use attacks. If enough Zygarde Cells and come together, Zygarde can achieve its 10% Forme, 50% Forme, or its Complete Forme, which is only used if the ecosystem is under threat and Zygarde believes that it will be otherwise outmatched. Zygarde Complete Forme bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal.
  +
  +
Zygarde also monitors the balance between Xerneas and Yveltal and will take action when that balance is threatened.
  +
  +
A Zygarde named [[Squishy]] played a central role in Pokémon the Series: XYZ.

{{Type|Normal}}-type [[Type: Null]] and [[Silvally]] are man-made Pokémon created by the Aether Foundation in a project led by [[Faba]] in order to create a Pokémon powerful enough to fight against the [[Ultra Beasts]], after [[Lusamine]] approved the experiment, the Aether Foundation started to search data about the [[Mythical Pokémon]] [[Arceus]] in Canalave Library, they started to research for the DNA of each Pokémon type creating the RKS System and tried to straighten it in their creation, Type: Full. However, the Pokémon refused the RKS System and the project failed, so, the three Type: Full models were put control masks to control their power, were frozen, and were renamed as Type: Null.
  +
  +
Several years after the failure of the Beast Killer project, Lusamine's son, Gladion, ran away from the Aether Paradise with one of the three models of Type: Null and later, it was able to free itself from its mask, activating the RKS System and revelating its true form; Gladion renamed its new form as Silvally.

  +
  +
They also choose the kahuna from your island and gift person who they like, they sometimes give Z-Rings or Z-Power Rings for people like Kahunas or as a gift. A long time ago, legends say that the Guardian Deities fought against the Ultra Beasts that invaded the Alola Region.

They are both said to come from another world.
  +
  +
It was revealed that the duo has an evolutionary line, starting with {{Nihongo|[[Cosmog]]|コスモッグ|Kosumoggu}}, evolving into {{Nihongo|[[Cosmoem]]|コスモウム|Kosumoumu}}, and lastly into Solgaleo/Lunala depending on the version.
  +
  +
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, [[Lillie]]'s Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem then evolves into either Solgaleo or Lunala at the Altar of the Sunne/Altar of the Moone when she and the player character sound the Sun and Moon flutes together. Solgaleo/Lunala then warp the two to [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to help them save [[Lusamine]].
  +
  +
Although Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma are not Ultra Beasts, they have a strong connection to Ultra Space (including the ability to create Ultra Wormholes) and as a result are often claimed to be or likened to the Ultra Beasts in various media.
  +
  +
Along with Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunala are also members of the [[Light Trio]].

Legends say that the {{Type|Psychic}}-type {{Nihongo|[[Necrozma]]|ネクロズマ|Nekurozuma}} is known as the Pokémon that steals light, long ago Necrozma was a being of light formed and shared its light with other worlds including the world Pokémon, who was the one who gifted Alola with the Z- Crystals and Z-Power Rings, however, ancestors of the people of Ultra Megalopolis tried to take advantage of the power of Necrozma and the result was catastrophic, Necrozma eventually lost its light and acquired a form of a black prism, and hatred for the people of Ultra Megalopolis stole the light of this world and condemned it to eternal darkness.
  +
  +
Necrozma has three alternative forms, Dusk Mane Necrozma when it absorbs Solgaleo, Dawn Wings Necrozma when it absorbs Lunala, and finally, Ultra Necrozma, its original form that is activated when it absorbs all the energy of Solgaleo or Lunala when it's fused with one of them, after this, the Prism Pokémon activate the Ultra Burst, transforming into Ultra Necrozma.
  +
  +
==Generation VIII==
  +
Eighth generation of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series. Ten Pokémon originally appeared in the [[Galar]] region, and one originally appeared in [[Hisui]] region (present-day [[Sinnoh]]). Eleven Legendary Pokémon were introduced in Generation VIII: [[Zacian]], [[Zamazenta]], [[Eternatus]], [[Kubfu]], [[Urshifu]], [[Glastrier]], [[Spectrier]], [[Calyrex]], two [[Regi Pokémon]] ([[Regieleki]] and [[Regidrago]]) and [[Enamorus]].

The {{Type|Fairy}}-type and the {{Type|Fighting}}-type Warrior Pokémon, [[Zacian]] and [[Zamazenta]], were considered heroes of the ancient Galar region after they saved it from a cataclysmic event named as "The Darkest Day", when several Wild Pokémon were surrounded by the power of [[Eternatus]], turning into their Dynamax form and causing the chaos in Galar. However, after they fall on a deep sleep for still unknown reasons, the people of Galar, believing the heroes were dead, built a memorial at the Slumbering Weald, sealing their sacred weapons in the graves and there they stayed for centuries, being forgotten through the story.
  +
  +
Without their weapons, both assume the "Hero of Many Battles" form, in this state, their base stats don't differ from each other.
  +
  +
When holding their weapons - Zacian, with the [[Rusted Sword]], and Zamazenta, with the [[Rusted Shield]] - they revert to their original forms, known as "Crowned Sword" for Zacian and "Crowned Shield" for Zamazenta. In these forms, both gain the {{Type|Steel}} type.

The {{Type|Poison}}/{{Type|Dragon}}-type Legendary Pokémon [[Eternatus]] is an extraterrestrial Pokémon that crash-landed 20,000 years ago. In ancient times, it threatened to destroy the Galar region in an event known as the Darkest Day. Chairman Rose tried to revive this Pokémon but was thwarted by the player character.
  +
  +
In its [[Eternamax]] form, Eternatus' power grows so immense that it causes a great storm of Dynamax energy around it, ripping holes in spacetime in the midst of the storm as it releases a virtually infinite amount of energy. Its tremendous power can even prevent opposing Pokémon from attacking it as it gathers energy. They use the organ to produce "fighting energy" in their lower abdomen, and increase this energy through unique breathing techniques and intense focus before going into battle.

The {{Type|Fighting}}-type Legendary Pokémon of the [[Isle of Armor]], [[Kubfu]], and its evolution, [[Urshifu]], are the most notorious martial artist Pokémon line amongst {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. Having been residing at mountainous areas far far away from [[Galar]] and inhabiting the same region long time ago, they usually went training constantly.
  +
  +
If Kubfu evolves into Urshifu, it grants two different secondary-types based one of two different philosophies it learned:
  +
  +
*Single Strike Style: A {{type|Dark}} type, represents Yang. Heavily focus on power and brutal attacks with just single strikes. Its fighting style is visible bajiquan (tiger style).
  +
*Rapid Strike Style: A {{type|Water}} type, represents Yin. Heavily focus on defense, and speedy attacks, allowing it to enhance its speed to counter opponents' predicted attacks. Its fighting style appears to be crane or mantis style.

Urshifu also has Gigantamax forms depending on the style.

Like the Hoenn Regis, they are also created by Regigigas, and their name suggests which energy they are made from. The two Regis have very powerful levels of the energy they are made from, to the extent that ancient people had to seal their power in some way.
  +

In The Crown Tundra, both of them are located in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]]. The player can only choose to challenge one of them; if the player chooses to challenge Regieleki, Regidrago becomes unavailable, and vice versa.

According to Calyrex, they like to eat crops, and both of them have favorite kind of Carrots that they love to eat the most: Glastier likes [[Iceroot Carrot]]s while Spectier likes [[Shaderoot Carrot]]s. However, when Calyrex begins to lose its power from lack of faith, it abandoned the King Pokémon and was forgotten as well. The horses were then reunited with Calyrex thanks to the help of the player in The Crown Tundra story. When either Glastrier or Spectier are fuse with Calyrex, their primary type replace Calyrex's {{Type|Grass}} type as its secondary type.

The '''Treasures of Ruin''' is formed by the {{Type|Dark}}/{{Type|Grass}}-type [[Wo-Chien]], the {{Type|Dark}}/{{Type|Ice}}-type [[Chien-Pao]], the {{Type|Dark}}/{{Type|Ground}}-type [[Ting-Lu]], and the {{Type|Dark}}/{{Type|Fire}}-type [[Chi-Yu]].<gallery type="slideshow" widths="200">

===[[Loyal Three]]===
  +
The '''Loyal Three''' consists of the {{Type|Poison}}/{{Type|Fighting}} [[Okidogi]], the {{Type|Poison}}/{{Type|Psychic}} [[Munkidori]] and the {{Type|Poison}}/{{Type|Fairy}} [[Fezandipiti]]. According to Villager Folklore, the three nobly sacrificed themselves in order to drive out Ogerpon. However, according to the story passed down from [[The Maskmaker]]'s bloodline, it is quite the opposite. The Loyal Three came to [[Kitakami]] due to hearing of the glittering masks of Ogerpon and the maskmaker. They stole them from the [[Dreaded Den]] and attacked the maskmaker while Ogerpon was away. In anger and defense, Ogerpon attacked the three, likely killing them. The villagers saw differently and made a monument in the [[Loyalty Plaza]] to remember them.
  +
  +
===[[Ogerpon]]===
  +
A completely misunderstood Pokémon, Ogerpon hid from Kitakami in the Dreaded Den for years, only visiting to occasionally watch the Festival of Masks. Ogerpon can change types based on the [[Ogerpon's Masks|mask]] it is wearing. It can use the Hearthflame Mask (making it a {{Type|Grass}}/{{Type|Fire}} type), the Wellspring Mask (making it a {{Type|Grass}}/{{Type|Water}} type), the Cornerstone Mask (making it a {{Type|Grass}}/{{Type|Rock}} type) or the default Teal Mask (making it a pure {{Type|Grass}} type) to change both its regular type and Tera type, and the type of its attack Ivy Cudgel.

==Disputed Legendary==
  +
Several Pokémon are often disputed as to whether or not they are truly Legendary or are often mistaken as true Legendaries.
  +
  +
===List===
  +
*[[Arcanine]] - Arcanine is commonly misconstrued as a Legendary Pokémon, mainly because of an episode (named "[[TB002: Pokémon Emergency!|Pokémon Emergency!]]", and known to be the second episode of the show) which showed Arcanine as one of the four Legendary Pokémon on the tablet at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, and because its species description since Generation I has been listed as the "Legendary Pokémon". Despite this, it is not a true Legendary.
  +
*[[Black Fog]] - The giant, more cryptic looking version of Haunter which has appeared in several media but never in the games. In ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]],'' it is considered a Legendary Pokémon.
  +
*Legendary Water Pokémon - A Legendary Pokémon which appears in [[Misty (anime)|Misty]]'s dream of the future in "[[GS128: Enlighten Up!]]". It resembles the fin on [[Gyarados]] when it undergoes [[Mega Evolution]].
  +
*[[Unown]] - Unown is believed by many to be a Legendary Pokémon because it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon in ''[[MS003: Pokémon 3: The Movie|Spell of the Unown]]'', its power in large number appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon and within the canon of the movie is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
  +
*[[Black Tyranitar]] - A powerful Tyranitar in ''The Golden Boys'' manga who is said to be more comparable to a Legendary Pokémon than an ordinary one.
  +
*[[Delibird]] - The DP Pokédex Book incorrectly states that Delibird is a Legendary Pokémon. Similar to Spiritomb, Rotom, and Spinda, this is just an error out of many in the DP Pokédex Book.
  +
*[[Spinda]] - The DP Pokédex Book incorrectly states that Spinda is a Legendary Pokémon. Similar to Spiritomb, Rotom, and Delibird, this is just an error out of many in the DP Pokédex Book.
  +
*[[Riolu]] & [[Lucario]] - Lucario is thought to be a Legendary Pokémon due to the fact that it starred in a Pokémon movie, which is usually reserved solely for Legendary Pokémon. Another reason is due to the fact that at the time of its release the only way to get a Lucario was by evolving a Riolu which was only obtainable through an in-game event, and thus was only obtainable one time in the game.
  +
*[[Spiritomb]] - The DP Pokédex Book incorrectly states that Spiritomb is a Legendary Pokémon. Similar to Rotom, Spinda, and Delibird, this is just an error out of many in the DP Pokédex Book.
  +
*[[Rotom]] - Rotom is often thought of as Legendary because there is only one in a given game and it plays the Legendary Pokémon music once battled. It is also labeled as a Legendary in the DP Pokédex Book, although the same book bears several other errors (numbering in the double digits), both major and minor.
  +
*[[Zorua]] & [[Zoroark]] - Zoroark was thought to be a Legendary Pokémon because, like Lucario, it was the main focus of a movie, a feat normally given only to Legendary Pokémon. Like many other Legendary Pokémon, it was only available as an in-game event in Black & White and Black 2 & White 2 with only one being able to found in each game. In Black & White, a trainer needed an event shiny Raikou, Entei, or Suicune in order to activate the in-game event, and in Black 2 & White 2 it is only available by evolving [[N]]'s Zorua. This might also be because Zoroark can be freed from a [[Master Ball]] in Super Smash Bros. 3DS, something usually only given to Legendaries or Mythicals.
  +
*[[Volcarona]] - Many people speculated on whether or not Volcarona was a Legendary Pokémon or not because of the fact that it can only be found one time in a game just like Legendary Pokémon and is found through an in-game event. Volcarona is found at the bottom of [[Relic Castle]] and is only accessible after the player character has defeated [[Team Plasma]] in Black & White.

Latest revision as of 08:02, 2 March 2024

For the similar group of rarer Pokémon, see Mythical Pokémon.
Legendary Pokémon

Legendary Pokémon (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のポケモン, HepburnPokémon of Legends), or Pokémon Illusions (Japanese(まぼろし)のポケモン, HepburnPhantom Pokémon) are extremely rare and often very powerful Pokémon that are often associated with legends of creation and/or destruction within their endemic regions.

Due to their power, Legendary Pokémon are often the target of villainous groups that seek to control or change the world within both the games and the anime; in the former, thwarting such attempts has been integrated into each game's plot since Generation III.

Generation I

The first generation Legendary Pokémon (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のポケモンの(だい)(いち)世代(せだい)HepburnDensetsu no Pokemon no Dai Ichi-sedai) are the very first legendary Pokémon to be introduced in the Pokémon series. These Pokémon first appeared in the Kanto region and are often associated with the area.

Kanto introduced four Legendary Pokémon: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo.

Kantonian Legendary Birds

The Legendary Birds (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)(とり)HepburnDensetsu no Tori) are a trio of Legendary Pokémon that resemble birds, consisting of the Ice/Flying-type Articuno (Japanese: フリーザー, HepburnFuriizaa), the Electric/Flying-type Zapdos (Japanese: サンダー, HepburnSandaa), and the Fire/Flying-type Moltres (Japanese: ファイヤー, HepburnFaiyaa).

The Kantonian Legendary Birds first appeared in the games Pokémon Red, Green, and, outside of Japan, Blue Versions. Articuno is hidden within the Seafoam Islands. Zapdos can be found at the Kanto Power Plant, while Moltres can be captured in Victory Road. Pokémon Yellow featured the trio in their previous locations, while later games featuring Kanto moved Moltres to different areas: in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Flame Pokémon was at Mt. Ember and in Mt. Silver in HeartGold and SoulSIlver. Pokémon Platinum featured the Legendary Birds as roaming Sinnoh after the player character defeats the Pokémon League. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the three legendary birds appear as Shadow Pokémon and are originally used by Grand Master Greevil. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, one of the birds may be found roaming Kalos after defeating the Pokémon League, with the Pokémon depending on the player character's starter. If the player character chooses Chespin, they will encounter Articuno; if they have Fennekin, they will see Zapdos; and if they picked Froakie, they may catch Moltres. The bird must be encountered 11 times, however, before they will retreat to the Sea Spirit's Den and become available for capture. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, the trio are featured in their previous locations from Red, Blue, and Yellow, but can also be found roaming in the sky after the player has beaten the Pokémon League.

The Galarian Legendary Birds first appeared in the games Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield in their Expansion Pass. During the story of Crown Tundra, the Galarian Legendary Birds can be encountered at Dyna Tree Hill, which triggers a cutscene which all three flee to the three different spots in Galar. Galarian Articuno can be found in the Crown Tundra, Galarian Zapdos is located in the Wild Area, and Moltres can be spotted in the Isle of Armor.

In the anime, all three Legendary Pokémon appear in the film The Power of One, where they reside at Shamouti Island. Local legend claimed that if the three began fighting, only Lugia could calm the birds. Each Legendary has also been shown in the anime episodes.

In a similar vein to several other Legendary Pokémon, the Legendary Birds are part of a trio, with Lugia serving as a trio master.

Their names come from their controlling element and the numbers one, two, and three in Spanish: "Arctic", referring to the geological area, and "uno", one; "Zap", a strike associated with electricity, and "dos", two; and "Molt", from molten and "tres", three.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are fused into one Pokémon known as Zapmolcuno.

Mewtwo

Mewtwo (Japanese: ミュウツー) is a man-made Pokémon created by scientists in the Pokémon Mansion and is a Psychic type.

Mewtwo originally appeared in Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue as a hidden Pokémon. It could be found within Cerulean Cave after beating the Elite Four and becoming the Kanto Region Champion.

In the anime, Mewtwo serves as the titular Pokémon in Mewtwo Strikes Back and Mewtwo Returns; in the former, it is revealed that Mewtwo is a genetically enhanced clone of Mew, commissioned by Giovanni. After being controlled by Giovanni, Mewtwo sets out to control the world with its own clone Pokémon.

In Generation VI, Mewtwo was given two Mega Evolutions, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y, which feature different stats and abilities. The stones necessary to cause the evolution are Mewtwonite X, which evolves Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X, a Psychic/Fighting-type, and Mewtwonite Y, which evolves Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo Y, which remains Psychic. The stones could originally be found in Pokémon X and Y, respectively, after capturing Mewtwo within the Unknown Dungeon located at Pokémon Village after defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Champion. Both can also be located in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire in Littleroot Town and the Pokémon League respectively. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, these stones can be obtained after going to Cerulean Cave a second time, after catching Mewtwo, and then, defeating Green.

Generation II

The second generation Legendary Pokémon (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のポケモンの(だい)()世代(せだい)HepburnDensetsu no Pokemon no Dai Ni-sedai) are the second set of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series and originate within the Johto region.

Five Legendary Pokémon debuted in Generation II: Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Ho-Oh, and Lugia.

Legendary Beasts

The Legendary Beasts (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)(けもの)HepburnDensetsu no Kemono) consist of the Electric-type Raikou (Japanese: ライコウ, HepburnRaikou), the Fire-type Entei (Japanese: エンテイ, HepburnEntei), and the Water-type Suicune (Japanese: スイクン, HepburnSuikun).

These three Legendaries were originally unidentified Pokémon trapped and killed within the Brass Tower when it burned down due to lightning. Ho-Oh revived the trio with each Pokémon acquiring an attribute of the accident: Raikou, an Electric-type, symbolized the lightning that had struck the tower; Entei, a Fire-type, was the flames that had engulfed the tower; and Suicune, a Water-type, represented the rain that put out the blaze. Those that witnessed the accident and revival of the trio feared their power, causing the beasts to flee. As a result, they are the first roaming Pokémon the player character encounters.

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the trio will individually wander the Johto region after the player character first encounters them in the Brass Tower. In Pokémon Crystal, the player character is also required to force Team Rocket to vacate the Radio Tower and acquire the Clear Bell to meet Suicune in the Tin Tower. In Pokémon Colosseum the trio were captured by Cipher and transformed into Shadow Pokémon; each are owned by different Admins. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, one member may be found roaming Kanto after defeating the Pokémon League; if the player character chose Bulbasaur they may find Entei; if the First partner Pokémon is Charmander, then Suicune is roaming; if the player character has Squirtle, then Raikou can be found. The encounters in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver have similar circumstances to those in Crystal; however, Suicune must be followed throughout the Kanto region until it stops at Route 25, outside Bill's house, where it may be battled. Notably, Eusine chases Suicune throughout the game but is constantly eluded.

All three members of the trio have appeared as a major character of separate movies and in episodes of the anime. An Unown-produced Entei served as an antagonist-turned-protagonist in Spell of the Unown, while Suicune helped heal Celebi by purifying a lake's water in Celebi: Voice of the Forest. Shiny versions of each member also appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, where they attempted to defeat a Zoroark.

Unlisted here is Raikou's appearance in the Pokémon Chronicles episode Legend of Thunder!, where it was being hunted by members of Team Rocket.

Tower Duo

The Tower Duo (Japanese: タワーデュオ, HepburnTawā Duo) are the two bird-like Pokémon; the Fire/Flying-type Ho-Oh (Japanese: ホウオウ, HepburnHouou) and the Psychic/Flying-type Lugia (Japanese: ルギア, HepburnRugia).

Known as the "guardian of the skies" and "guardian of the seas" respectively, Ho-Oh and Lugia formerly resided in Ecruteak City, claiming the Tin Tower and Brass Tower. When lightning struck the Brass Tower and burned the building, Lugia escaped to the Whirlpool Islands. Ho-Oh remained long enough to revive three Pokémon that had been trapped within the tower, creating the Legendary Beasts, but left in search of a pure-hearted Trainer; thus, Ho-Oh is considered their trio master. It is said that the three Pokémon that died in the tower were a Flareon, Jolteon, and a Vaporeon.

Both Pokémon appear in the Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions; their method of encounter varies between the games. In Gold, the player character may capture Ho-Oh, a Fire/Flying-type, at the Tin Tower once acquiring a Rainbow Wing after Team Rocket leaves the Goldenrod Radio Tower, and locate Lugia, a Psychic/Flying-type, at the Whirlpool Islands once given a Silver Wing from a citizen in Pewter City. In Pokémon Silver, this is reversed: the player character is given the Silver Wing once Team Rocket leaves the Radio Tower and the Rainbow Wing in Pewter City. In Pokémon Crystal, the player character must capture Raikou, Entei, and Suicune to gain the Rainbow Wing, and visit the Pewter City resident to gain the Silver Wing. Both Pokémon reappear in FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as Pokémon Emerald, but must be gained through an event; they may be found at Naval Rock if the player character has a MysticTicket. Ho-Oh can be caught in Pokémon Colosseum if the player character purifies all Shadow Pokémon in the game, while Lugia can be caught as a Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Contrary to initial belief, this Lugia is capable of being purified. Ho-Oh and Lugia return again in HeartGold and SoulSilver and may be acquired under similar circumstances, though the player character must also have a Clear Bell and Tidal Bell for each Legendary.

Both Pokémon have appeared within the anime, though only Lugia has made an appearance in a film, The Power of One. In the film, Lugia was the only creature capable of quelling the three Legendary Birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, making Lugia their trio master. Lugia was created by Takeshi Shudo, the head anime writer of the film, only for this sole purpose in the film, and was later used on the box art for Pokémon Silver by Game Freak after the movie's success. Lugia has also made an appearance in the film Hoopa and the Clash of Ages. Ho-Oh, however, was the first Legendary Pokémon to appear in the anime, debuting at the end of the first episode of the series. At the time Ho-Oh had not been officially announced nor was it identified in the episode, being endemic to Johto.

The episodes that each Ho-Oh and Lugia have appeared in are listed below.

Generation III

The third generation Legendary Pokémon (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のポケモンの(だい)(さん)世代(せだい)HepburnDensetsu no Pokemon no Dai San-sedai) are the third set of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the series and are native to the Hoenn region.

There are eight Legendary Pokémon introduced in Hoenn: Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Latios, Latias, Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza.

Legendary Titans

The Hoenn Legendary Titans (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のタイタンズ, HepburnDensetsu no taitanzu), also known as the Regi Trio (Japanese: ゴーレムトリオ, HepburnGōremu Torio), consists of three Legendary golem-like Pokémon: Regirock, a Rock-type, Regice, an Ice-type, Registeel, a Steel-type. According to legend, they were shaped by their trio master, Regigigas. As their names and typing suggest, Regirock was formed from rocks, Regice from ice, and Registeel from steel.

The trio makes their first appearance in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as in Emerald. Finding the golems is similar in each game: the player character must first travel to the underwater Sealed Chamber, found by diving in Route 134 with a Relicanth and Wailord in their team. Upon completion of the task, each golem will be unlocked and may be found throughout Hoenn. Specifically, Regirock is within the Desert Ruins of Route 111, Regice is in the Island Cave on Route 105, and Registeel inside the Ancient Tomb, in Route 120. Each comes with their own specific tasks and requirements: in Ruby and Sapphire, to gain Regirock, the player character must read the inscription then move right twice, down twice, and use Strength; to find Regice, the player character must read the inscription and wait two minutes without interacting with the game; to fight Registeel, the player character must read the inscription, then use Fly in the center of the room. In Pokémon Emerald, the player character must instead use Rock Smash, run around the chamber while staying next to the walls, and use Flash for Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, respectively. In Pokémon Platinum, Regirock may be found at the Rock Peak Ruins, Regice at the Iceberg Ruins, and Registeel within the Iron Ruins; however, they are event-only. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the method of acquiring the golem trio is the same as it is in Ruby and Sapphire. The trio, along with Regieleki and Regidrago, can be found in temples of the same names as Sinnoh's within the Crown Tundra included in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass.

All three of the trio have appeared in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, as guardians of the Tree of Beginning. A Regirock, Regice, and Registeel also belonged to Pyramid King Brandon in the anime.

Eon Duo

The Eon Duo (Japanese: イオンデュオ, HepburnIon Duo) is formed by the twin Pokémon Latios and Latias.

Both Pokémon are Dragon/Psychic-type, identified as the "Eon Pokémon"; in all instances, Latios are male and Latias are female. The duo is said to be a brother-sister duo. Both are roaming Pokémon in their first appearance, with Latios appearing in Pokémon Ruby and Latias appearing in Pokémon Sapphire. In Emerald, the player character selects which Pokémon will roam Hoenn after defeating the Pokémon League. In all three games, if the player character has the Eon Ticket, they may encounter the other Pokémon on Southern Island. Both reappear in HeartGold and SoulSilver as roaming Pokémon, with Latias appearing in HeartGold and Latios in SoulSilver; they will only roam the Kanto region in these games. Once the player character has defeated the Pokémon League and obtained the National Pokédex, they may bring the event-only item, the Enigma Stone, to Steven Stone in Pewter City. He will identify it as a Soul Dew and the Eon Pokémon that does not roam the Kanto region will attack the player character. Should they fail to capture the Pokémon, it will continue returning to the same spot it was encountered.

As of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, both Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolving using Latiosite or Latiasite. In addition to aesthetic changes, each Pokémon's stats and abilities change upon evolution.

Both Pokémon appear in the film Heroes: Latios and Latias as guardians of Alto Mare. The film focuses on the Soul Dew, which the film confirms as a Latios'/Latias' crystallized soul. Tobias used a Latios during the Lily of the Valley Conference. Nurse Joy used a Latias in a battle against Forrest in Pewter City. They both also appear in their Mega forms in the film Hoopa and the Clash of Ages. Ash soon encountered a wounded Latias after she crash-landed into a lake during his travels. But after healing her while protecting her from Team Rocket, she began to follow him while being invisible.

Weather Trio

The Weather Trio (Japanese天気(てんき)トリオ, HepburnTenki Torio), also known as the Ancient Trio (Japanese古代(こだい)トリオ, HepburnKodai Torio), is composed of the Water-type Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ, HepburnKaiooga), the Ground-type Groudon (Japanese: グラードン, HepburnGuraadon), and the Dragon/Flying-type Rayquaza (Japanese: レックウザ, HepburnRekkuuza).

Hoenn's legends claim that Kyogre could call upon rain and created the sea, while Groudon used heat to repel rain and expand the continents, creating land. These two Pokémon clashed whenever they met and could only be stopped by Rayquaza, who lived in the atmosphere. As such, Rayquaza is considered the trio master.

In their original appearances, Groudon could only be caught in Ruby and Kyogre in Sapphire, with both being found at the Cave of Origin. Rayquaza could be caught in all three games, at Sky Pillar; in Ruby and Sapphire, it could be found after defeating the Elite Four, while in Emerald it was battled prior to fighting the Pokémon League. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player character could use the Blue Orb (HeartGold) or Red Orb (SoulSilver) at the Embedded Tower to call either Kyogre or Groudon and battle them. If the player character had a Kyogre and Groudon native to HeartGold or SoulSilver and brought them to Professor Oak, he would give the player character the Jade Orb, which could be used to summon Rayquaza in the same manner. Groudon and Kyogre make similar appearances in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; however, when the player character battles them, they have undergone Primal Reversion and have signature moves, Precipice Blades and Origin Pulse, respectively. Rayquaza has also gained a Mega Evolution and its own signature move, Dragon Ascent, which is necessary for Mega Evolution in lieu of a Mega Stone.

All three Pokémon have appeared in the anime and movies. A fake Groudon was shown in Jirachi: Wish Maker, a Rayquaza played the role of the antagonist in Destiny Deoxys, and a Kyogre made a minor appearance in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. All three in their Primal/Mega forms also appeared in the movie Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.

The episodes that each Pokémon has appeared in is listed below.

Generation IV

The fourth generation Legendary Pokémon (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のポケモンの(だい)(よん)世代(せだい)HepburnDensetsu no Pokemon no Dai Yon-sedai) are the fourth series of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series. These Pokémon originate from and originally appear in the Sinnoh region.

There are nine Legendary Pokémon that appear in Generation IV: Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, Palkia, Heatran, Regigigas, Giratina, and Cresselia.

Lake Guardians

The Lake Guardians (Japanese: レイクトリオ, HepburnReiku Torio), is named for the tendency of its members, Uxie (Japanese: ユクシー, HepburnYukushii), Mesprit (Japanese: エムリット, HepburnEmuritto), and Azelf (Japanese: アグノム, HepburnAgunomu), to remain in the vicinity of their respective lakes within the Sinnoh region.

All three members are purely Psychic-type, and all three were created by Arceus to protect and embody certain concepts, and later, taught humans these traits. Uxie, who remains at Lake Acuity, represents knowledge; Mesprit, who is close to Lake Verity, symbolizes emotion; and Azelf, who is tied to Lake Valor, is spirit or willpower. Thus, Arceus is considered the master of Lake Guardians.

The Lake Guardians originally appear and play a major role in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where they are captured by Team Galactic's commanders, so Cyrus may use their powers to create a Red Chain, which will allow him to take control of either Dialga or Palkia, in Diamond and Pearl respectively, in order to recreate the universe without human spirit. In Platinum, he intends on chaining both Pokémon; in this case, the Lake Guardians appear before Cyrus to stop him but are too weak, causing Giratina to open the Distortion World.

In all Generation IV games, the Lake Trio will reappear at their individual lakes. Uxie and Azelf may be captured upon encountering them, but Mesprit will flee from the player character and begin roaming Sinnoh.

Creation Trio

The Creation Trio (Japanese: クリエイション·トリオ, HepburnKurieishon Torio), also known as the Crown Dragon Trio (Japanese: クラウンドラゴン·トリオ, HepburnKuraun Doragon Torio) consists of the Steel/Dragon-type Dialga (Japanese: ディアルガ, HepburnDiaruga), the Water/Dragon-type Palkia (Japanese: パルキア, HepburnParukia), and the Ghost/Dragon-type Giratina (Japanese: ギラティナ, HepburnGiratina).

According to Sinnoh legend, when the universe began, Arceus created Pokémon to craft the universe. When Dialga was born, time began, space expanded when Palkia came to be, and Giratina was formed to control antimatter. As such, Arceus is considered the trio master of the Creation Trio.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Cyrus plans on summoning and controlling either Dialga or Palkia at Spear Pillar so that he may recreate the universe; the player character may interrupt and capture the Pokémon instead. In Platinum, he attempts to summon both, but is interrupted by Giratina, who takes Cyrus into the Distortion World for intending to enslave the other members of its trio. The player character may enter the Distortion World and capture Giratina after defeating the Pokémon League.

In the video games, Cyrus tries to take control of Dialga and Palkia which depends on the Diamond or Pearl series, it contains both at the same time in Pokémon Platinum in order to remake the universe without spirit, a thing that Cyrus despises. Dialga or Palkia can be captured at Spear Pillar which depends on the video game. In Pokémon Platinum, Giratina takes Cyrus into the Distortion World after that he was trying to take control of Dialga and Palkia. Giratina can be captured in the Distortion World but Dialga and Palkia can be captured after defeating the Pokémon League, at the Spear Pillar.

All of the three members are capable of taking a more powerful form known as Origin Forme, this is said to be their original form. Dialga, Palkia and Giratina are respectively connected to the Adamant Crystal or the Adamant Orb, the Lustrous Globe or the Lustrous Orb and the Griseous Core or the Griseous Orb, and allow the trio to transform.

All three Pokémon appear in one or more films, and in the anime. Dialga appeared in The Rise of Darkrai, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, and MS012: Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life. Palkia appeared in The Rise Of Darkrai and Arceus and the Jewel of Life, while Giratina was shown in Giratina and the Sky Warrior and Arceus and the Jewel of Life. All three Pokémon appeared in the same episode of the anime.

Lunar Duo (Cresselia and Darkrai)

Cresselia (Japanese: クレセリア, HepburnCrecelia) is a Pokémon that resembles the Full Moon and dreams, and is the counterpart of the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai.

Cresselia, the Psychic-type "Lunar Pokémon" was first encountered on Fullmoon Island; this is more or less coincidence, as while Cresselia is symbolic of the full moon.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, Cresselia may be found on Fullmoon Island after defeating the Elite Four. The player character must secure a Lunar Wing for Eldrich's son, who is suffering from endless nightmares. The player character may then travel to the island where they will see Cresselia; the Legendary disappears but leaves a Lunar Wing behind. It may then be found roaming Sinnoh.

Cresselia appears, along with Darkrai, in "Sleepless in Pre-Battle".

Heatran

485Heatran

Heatran

Heatran (Japanese: ヒードラン, HepburnHīdoran) is a Fire/Steel-type Pokémon, rumored to be the spirit and protector of all volcanic activity.

It is believed to have been created when Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina were brought into being; despite this, it is not included in the trio. Uniquely, Heatran is the only Legendary that may be either male or female, with a 50% chance of either gender appearing in a wild encounter.

Heatran makes its first appearance in Diamond and Pearl, where it may be found on Stark Mountain after defeating the Pokémon League, visiting Stark Mountain and after the player character talks to Buck's grandfather; Buck will have taken the Magma Stone but returns it after speaking to his grandfather. Once the stone is returned, Heatran will appear on the mountain. In Platinum, Charon, a former member of Team Galactic, plans to steal the Magma Stone and use it to control Heatran, allowing him to extort citizens for money by threatening them with the Pokémon's volcanic powers. His scheme is thwarted by interference from Buck, Looker, and the player character, at which point Heatran may be captured. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, if the player character has retrieved the Magma Stone from Route 18 and brings it to Reversal Mountain, they may meet Heatran. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, after Groudon/Kyogre has been captured or defeated, the player character may journey to the Scorched Slab to capture a Heatran residing on the lowest floor.

Heatran appears in both the anime and in the film Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

Regigigas

486Regigigas

Regigigas

Regigigas (Japanese: レジギガス, HepburnRejigigasu) is a legendary Normal-type.

Along with having the distinction of being the only Normal-type Legendary Pokémon to date, Regigigas is credited with the creation of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. In addition, legends state that Regigigas "towed" the continents into their current positions. As such, Regigigas is the trio master of the Golem Trio.

In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, Regigigas may be found in Snowpoint Temple after the Pokémon League has been defeated, but in order to capture it, the player character must have all three golem Pokémon in their party. It also appears in Black 2 and White 2 at Twist Mountain with similar requirements: that the League be defeated and having Regirock, Regice, and Registeel in their party. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player character may find Regigigas at the Island Cave where they caught Regice, but they must visit during the daytime with all three golem Pokémon in their team. In addition, their Regice must be nicknamed and holding a Casteliacone, a Never-Melt Ice, an Icy Rock, or a Snowball.

Regigigas makes an appearance in the anime and in the film Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

It makes a loud, repetetive, robotic beeping noise and appeared in the film Hoopa and the clash of ages where it was being imprisoned with other legendery pokemon in the rings of the true form of Hoopa.

Generation V

The fifth generation Legendary Pokémon (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のポケモンの(だい)()世代(せだい)HepburnDensetsu no Pokemon no Dai Go-sedai) are the fifth generation of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series. These Pokémon originate and appear in the Unova region.

Nine Legendary Pokémon appear in Generation V: Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus, Thundurus, Reshiram, Zekrom, Landorus, and Kyurem.

Swords of Justice (Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion)

The Swords of Justice consists of the Steel/Fighting-type Cobalion (Japanese: コバルオン, HepburnKobaruon), the Rock/Fighting-type Terrakion (Japanese: テラキオン, HepburnTerakion), the Grass/Fighting-type Virizion (Japanese: ビリジオン, HepburnBirijion), and the Water/Fighting-type Keldeo (Japanese: ケルディオ, HepburnKerudio). They exist to protect Pokémon that have lost their homes to humans. Keldeo is the only Mythical Pokémon of the group.

Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo are all Fighting-type as a secondary type in conjunction with their names, i.e. "Cobalt" in Cobalion for Steel-type, "Terra" in Terrakion for Rock-type, "Viridian" in Virizion for Grass-type. and "Kelpie" in Keldeo for Water-type. Only Keldeo has an alternate Forme, its Resolute Form if it knows Secret Sword.

The Swords of Justice are the first Legendary Quartet.

They all made their debut in the film Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice.

Forces of Nature

The Forces of Nature (Japanese自然(しぜん)(ちから)HepburnShizen no Chikara) consists of the Flying-type Tornadus (Japanese: トルネロス, HepburnTorunerosu), the Electric/Flying-type Thundurus (Japanese: ボルトロス, HepburnBorutorosu), the Ground/Flying-type Landorus (Japanese: ランドロス, HepburnRandorosu), and the fairy /flying-type Enamorus— (Japanese: ラブトロス, HepburnRabutorosu)

Tornadus represents wind, Thundurus represents lightning, and Landorus represents ground. Enamorus represents fairies. Interestingly, Tornadus is the first Pokémon that is a pure Flying-type.

By using the Reveal Glass, the player character may change each member from their Incarnate Forme into their Therian Forme, which are vaguely human and animal, respectively. The Forces of Nature is the only Squad of Legendaries to share the same gender, being all-male, (except for Enamorus, being female.) other than genderless.

Landorus is the Squad master of the Forces of Nature.

Tao Trio

The Tao Trio (Japanese: タオトリオ, HepburnTao Torio), also known as the Energy Trio (Japanese: エネルギートリオ, HepburnEnerugī Torio), is formed by the Dragon/Fire-type Reshiram (Japanese: レシラム, HepburnReshiramu), the Dragon/Electric-type Zekrom (Japanese: ゼクロム, HepburnZekuromu), and the Dragon/Ice-type Kyurem (Japanese: キュレム, HepburnKyuremu).

Each dragon is symbolic of a specific energy in Taoism, hence the name; Reshiram is symbolic of Yang and controls fire, Zekrom represents Yin and controls electricity while Kyurem is Wuji and controls ice. The three Pokémon were originally one unidentified dragon until their masters, who were twin heroes, began to argue. The older sought the truth and the younger was idealistic and, the dragon, being unable to concede to one side or the other, split into two in response, becoming Reshiram and Zekrom. Kyurem, then, was created by what remained of the original dragon, although a legend in Lacunosa Town claims it fell to the planet in an icy meteor; its ability to fuse with either Reshiram or Zekrom in Black 2 and White 2 with the DNA Splicers and become either White-Kyurem or Black-Kyurem supports the first legend, however.

Each member appeared as a major character in the franchise's films. Reshiram and Zekrom appeared in the films Black: Victini and Reshiram and White: Victini and Zekrom, where Reshiram and Zekrom switched roles between the Black and White versions of the films. Kyurem acted as the main antagonist in Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice.

Generation VI

The sixth generation Legendary Pokémon (Japanese伝説(でんせつ)のポケモンの(だい)(ろく)世代(せだい)Densetsu no Pokemon no Dai Roku-sedai) Six generation of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series. These Pokémon originally appeared in the Kalos region.

Three Legendary Pokémon have appeared to date: Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde.

Aura Trio

Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde form the Aura Trio (Japanese: オーラトリオ, HepburnŌratorio).

The Fairy-type Xerneas (Japanese: ゼルネアス, HepburnZeruneasu) and the Dark/Flying-type Yveltal (Japanese: イベルタル, HepburnIberutaru) are symbolic of life and death: upon Xerneas' death, it forms a tree and gives life to its surroundings before falling into a 1,000-year slumber, while Yveltal takes the lives of everything around it before falling asleep in a cocoon form.

In Pokémon X and Y, Team Flare attempts to harness the dormant cocoon for its inherent energy and power the Ultimate Weapon; the player character intervenes and captures the Legendary before it can be utilized. Interestingly, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Rayquaza in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have the highest base catch rates due to their individual plotlines requiring the capture of the Pokémon in question.

Both Pokémon appeared in the film Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.

The Dragon/Ground-type Zygarde (Japanese: ジガルデ, HepburnJigarude) has been described as the "guardian of the ecosystem". It monitors the ecosystem and will take action when it senses a threat to it. It does whatever is necessary to protect the ecosystem and will not hesitate to destroy any threat even if the threat is another living being.

It is the only Pokémon to have forms that are not or are questionably Pokémon, as its "Zygarde Cells", being simple and incapable of using moves, are not considered Pokémon. Zygarde Cores are Zygarde without any cells and are also unable to use attacks. If enough Zygarde Cells and come together, Zygarde can achieve its 10% Forme, 50% Forme, or its Complete Forme, which is only used if the ecosystem is under threat and Zygarde believes that it will be otherwise outmatched. Zygarde Complete Forme bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal.

Zygarde also monitors the balance between Xerneas and Yveltal and will take action when that balance is threatened.

A Zygarde named Squishy played a central role in Pokémon the Series: XYZ.

Generation VII

The seventh-generation Legendary Pokémon are the seventh generation of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series. These Pokémon originally appeared in the Alola region.

Alola introduced 11 new Legendaries: Type: Null, Silvally, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma.

Six of the twelve are the first Legendary Pokémon to have evolution families.

Beast Killers

Normal-type Type: Null and Silvally are man-made Pokémon created by the Aether Foundation in a project led by Faba in order to create a Pokémon powerful enough to fight against the Ultra Beasts, after Lusamine approved the experiment, the Aether Foundation started to search data about the Mythical Pokémon Arceus in Canalave Library, they started to research for the DNA of each Pokémon type creating the RKS System and tried to straighten it in their creation, Type: Full. However, the Pokémon refused the RKS System and the project failed, so, the three Type: Full models were put control masks to control their power, were frozen, and were renamed as Type: Null.

Several years after the failure of the Beast Killer project, Lusamine's son, Gladion, ran away from the Aether Paradise with one of the three models of Type: Null and later, it was able to free itself from its mask, activating the RKS System and revelating its true form; Gladion renamed its new form as Silvally.

Guardian Deities

The Guardian Deities (Japanese(まも)(がみ)({{{2}}})HepburnMamorigami) are legendary Pokémon that protect the Islands of the Alola region:

They also choose the kahuna from your island and gift person who they like, they sometimes give Z-Rings or Z-Power Rings for people like Kahunas or as a gift. A long time ago, legends say that the Guardian Deities fought against the Ultra Beasts that invaded the Alola Region.

Sun and Moon Line

The Psychic/Steel-type Solgaleo (Japanese: ソルガレオ, HepburnSorugareo) and the Psychic/Ghost-type Lunala (Japanese: ルナアーラ, HepburnRunaa'ara) are symbolic of the sun and the moon, being seen as emissaries of those celestial bodies; Solgaleo is called "the beast that devours the sun" while Lunala is known as "the beast that calls the moon." They are both said to come from another world.

It was revealed that the duo has an evolutionary line, starting with Cosmog (Japanese: コスモッグ, HepburnKosumoggu), evolving into Cosmoem (Japanese: コスモウム, HepburnKosumoumu), and lastly into Solgaleo/Lunala depending on the version.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Lillie's Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem then evolves into either Solgaleo or Lunala at the Altar of the Sunne/Altar of the Moone when she and the player character sound the Sun and Moon flutes together. Solgaleo/Lunala then warp the two to Ultra Deep Sea to help them save Lusamine.

Although Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma are not Ultra Beasts, they have a strong connection to Ultra Space (including the ability to create Ultra Wormholes) and as a result are often claimed to be or likened to the Ultra Beasts in various media.

Along with Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunala are also members of the Light Trio.

Necrozma

Legends say that the Psychic-type Necrozma (Japanese: ネクロズマ, HepburnNekurozuma) is known as the Pokémon that steals light, long ago Necrozma was a being of light formed and shared its light with other worlds including the world Pokémon, who was the one who gifted Alola with the Z- Crystals and Z-Power Rings, however, ancestors of the people of Ultra Megalopolis tried to take advantage of the power of Necrozma and the result was catastrophic, Necrozma eventually lost its light and acquired a form of a black prism, and hatred for the people of Ultra Megalopolis stole the light of this world and condemned it to eternal darkness.

Necrozma has three alternative forms, Dusk Mane Necrozma when it absorbs Solgaleo, Dawn Wings Necrozma when it absorbs Lunala, and finally, Ultra Necrozma, its original form that is activated when it absorbs all the energy of Solgaleo or Lunala when it's fused with one of them, after this, the Prism Pokémon activate the Ultra Burst, transforming into Ultra Necrozma.

Generation VIII

Eighth generation of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series. Ten Pokémon originally appeared in the Galar region, and one originally appeared in Hisui region (present-day Sinnoh). Eleven Legendary Pokémon were introduced in Generation VIII: Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus, Kubfu, Urshifu, Glastrier, Spectrier, Calyrex, two Regi Pokémon (Regieleki and Regidrago) and Enamorus. The Galarian forms of the Legendary Birds were also introduced.

Hero Duo

The Fairy-type and the Fighting-type Warrior Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta, were considered heroes of the ancient Galar region after they saved it from a cataclysmic event named as "The Darkest Day", when several Wild Pokémon were surrounded by the power of Eternatus, turning into their Dynamax form and causing the chaos in Galar. However, after they fall on a deep sleep for still unknown reasons, the people of Galar, believing the heroes were dead, built a memorial at the Slumbering Weald, sealing their sacred weapons in the graves and there they stayed for centuries, being forgotten through the story.

Without their weapons, both assume the "Hero of Many Battles" form, in this state, their base stats don't differ from each other.

When holding their weapons - Zacian, with the Rusted Sword, and Zamazenta, with the Rusted Shield - they revert to their original forms, known as "Crowned Sword" for Zacian and "Crowned Shield" for Zamazenta. In these forms, both gain the Steel type.

Galarian Legendary Birds

The Legendary Birds of Generation I also have Regional variants that are seen in the Galar region. Galarian Articuno has the Psychic/Flying type, Galarian Zapdos has the Fighting/Flying type and Galarian Moltres has the Dark/Flying type.

Eternatus

The Poison/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon Eternatus is an extraterrestrial Pokémon that crash-landed 20,000 years ago. In ancient times, it threatened to destroy the Galar region in an event known as the Darkest Day. Chairman Rose tried to revive this Pokémon but was thwarted by the player character.

In its Eternamax form, Eternatus' power grows so immense that it causes a great storm of Dynamax energy around it, ripping holes in spacetime in the midst of the storm as it releases a virtually infinite amount of energy. Its tremendous power can even prevent opposing Pokémon from attacking it as it gathers energy. They use the organ to produce "fighting energy" in their lower abdomen, and increase this energy through unique breathing techniques and intense focus before going into battle.

Kubfu and Urshifu

The Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon of the Isle of Armor, Kubfu, and its evolution, Urshifu, are the most notorious martial artist Pokémon line amongst Fighting Pokémon. Having been residing at mountainous areas far far away from Galar and inhabiting the same region long time ago, they usually went training constantly.

If Kubfu evolves into Urshifu, it grants two different secondary-types based one of two different philosophies it learned:

  • Single Strike Style: A Dark type, represents Yang. Heavily focus on power and brutal attacks with just single strikes. Its fighting style is visible bajiquan (tiger style).
  • Rapid Strike Style: A Water type, represents Yin. Heavily focus on defense, and speedy attacks, allowing it to enhance its speed to counter opponents' predicted attacks. Its fighting style appears to be crane or mantis style.

Urshifu also has Gigantamax forms depending on the style.

New Legendary Titans

Galar introduces another two Regi Pokémon, Electric-type Regieleki, and Dragon-type Regidrago, bringing the amount of Regi Pokémon to five along with Hoenn Regi Pokémon. Like the Hoenn Regis, they are also created by Regigigas, and their name suggests which energy they are made from. The two Regis have very powerful levels of the energy they are made from, to the extent that ancient people had to seal their power in some way.

In The Crown Tundra, both of them are located in the Split-Decision Ruins. The player can only choose to challenge one of them; if the player chooses to challenge Regieleki, Regidrago becomes unavailable, and vice versa.

Calyrex's Trusty Steeds

The two Legendary Horse Pokémon, Ice-type Glastrier and Ghost-type Spectrier are the trusty steeds of Calyrex in the Crown Tundra of the Galar region. According to Calyrex, they like to eat crops, and both of them have favorite kind of Carrots that they love to eat the most: Glastier likes Iceroot Carrots while Spectier likes Shaderoot Carrots. However, when Calyrex begins to lose its power from lack of faith, it abandoned the King Pokémon and was forgotten as well. The horses were then reunited with Calyrex thanks to the help of the player in The Crown Tundra story. When either Glastrier or Spectier are fuse with Calyrex, their primary type replace Calyrex's Grass type as its secondary type.

Calyrex

The Psychic/Grass-type Calyrex was the first ruler Pokémon in history. A very noble and intelligent Pokémon, it was worshipped as a king of Galar back in ancient times who can envision the three outcomes: past, present, future. It resides at the Crown Tundra.

Calyrex is able to fuse with Glastrier or Spectrier to form Ice Rider Calyrex or Shadow Rider Calyrex, using the Reins of Unity.

Enamorus

Enamorus is the fourth member of Forces of Nature Flying-type Pokémon line representing Love and Hate, and the line's only female member, whose secondary type is Fairy.

Generation IX

Ninth generation of Legendary Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon series. These Pokémon originally appeared in the Paldea region. So far, eleven Legendary Pokémon have been introduced in Generation IX: Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu, Koraidon, Miraidon, Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, Ogerpon, and Terapagos.

Ride Duo

The Ride Duo is formed by the Fighting/Dragon-type Koraidon and the Electric/Dragon-type Miraidon.

Treasures of Ruin

The Treasures of Ruin is formed by the Dark/Grass-type Wo-Chien, the Dark/Ice-type Chien-Pao, the Dark/Ground-type Ting-Lu, and the Dark/Fire-type Chi-Yu.

Loyal Three

The Loyal Three consists of the Poison/Fighting Okidogi, the Poison/Psychic Munkidori and the Poison/Fairy Fezandipiti. According to Villager Folklore, the three nobly sacrificed themselves in order to drive out Ogerpon. However, according to the story passed down from The Maskmaker's bloodline, it is quite the opposite. The Loyal Three came to Kitakami due to hearing of the glittering masks of Ogerpon and the maskmaker. They stole them from the Dreaded Den and attacked the maskmaker while Ogerpon was away. In anger and defense, Ogerpon attacked the three, likely killing them. The villagers saw differently and made a monument in the Loyalty Plaza to remember them.

Ogerpon

A completely misunderstood Pokémon, Ogerpon hid from Kitakami in the Dreaded Den for years, only visiting to occasionally watch the Festival of Masks. Ogerpon can change types based on the mask it is wearing. It can use the Hearthflame Mask (making it a Grass/Fire type), the Wellspring Mask (making it a Grass/Water type), the Cornerstone Mask (making it a Grass/Rock type) or the default Teal Mask (making it a pure Grass type) to change both its regular type and Tera type, and the type of its attack Ivy Cudgel.

Terapagos

Disputed Legendary

Several Pokémon are often disputed as to whether or not they are truly Legendary or are often mistaken as true Legendaries.

List

  • Arcanine - Arcanine is commonly misconstrued as a Legendary Pokémon, mainly because of an episode (named "Pokémon Emergency!", and known to be the second episode of the show) which showed Arcanine as one of the four Legendary Pokémon on the tablet at the Viridian City Pokémon Center, and because its species description since Generation I has been listed as the "Legendary Pokémon". Despite this, it is not a true Legendary.
  • Black Fog - The giant, more cryptic looking version of Haunter which has appeared in several media but never in the games. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, it is considered a Legendary Pokémon.
  • Legendary Water Pokémon - A Legendary Pokémon which appears in Misty's dream of the future in "GS128: Enlighten Up!". It resembles the fin on Gyarados when it undergoes Mega Evolution.
  • Unown - Unown is believed by many to be a Legendary Pokémon because it is shown in Molly Hale's book about Legendary Pokémon in Spell of the Unown, its power in large number appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon and within the canon of the movie is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
  • Black Tyranitar - A powerful Tyranitar in The Golden Boys manga who is said to be more comparable to a Legendary Pokémon than an ordinary one.
  • Delibird - The DP Pokédex Book incorrectly states that Delibird is a Legendary Pokémon. Similar to Spiritomb, Rotom, and Spinda, this is just an error out of many in the DP Pokédex Book.
  • Spinda - The DP Pokédex Book incorrectly states that Spinda is a Legendary Pokémon. Similar to Spiritomb, Rotom, and Delibird, this is just an error out of many in the DP Pokédex Book.
  • Riolu & Lucario - Lucario is thought to be a Legendary Pokémon due to the fact that it starred in a Pokémon movie, which is usually reserved solely for Legendary Pokémon. Another reason is due to the fact that at the time of its release the only way to get a Lucario was by evolving a Riolu which was only obtainable through an in-game event, and thus was only obtainable one time in the game.
  • Spiritomb - The DP Pokédex Book incorrectly states that Spiritomb is a Legendary Pokémon. Similar to Rotom, Spinda, and Delibird, this is just an error out of many in the DP Pokédex Book.
  • Rotom - Rotom is often thought of as Legendary because there is only one in a given game and it plays the Legendary Pokémon music once battled. It is also labeled as a Legendary in the DP Pokédex Book, although the same book bears several other errors (numbering in the double digits), both major and minor.
  • Zorua & Zoroark - Zoroark was thought to be a Legendary Pokémon because, like Lucario, it was the main focus of a movie, a feat normally given only to Legendary Pokémon. Like many other Legendary Pokémon, it was only available as an in-game event in Black & White and Black 2 & White 2 with only one being able to found in each game. In Black & White, a trainer needed an event shiny Raikou, Entei, or Suicune in order to activate the in-game event, and in Black 2 & White 2 it is only available by evolving N's Zorua. This might also be because Zoroark can be freed from a Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. 3DS, something usually only given to Legendaries or Mythicals.
  • Volcarona - Many people speculated on whether or not Volcarona was a Legendary Pokémon or not because of the fact that it can only be found one time in a game just like Legendary Pokémon and is found through an in-game event. Volcarona is found at the bottom of Relic Castle and is only accessible after the player character has defeated Team Plasma in Black & White.
