Unofficial Trios

There are a few Legendaries that are fitted into trios by fans, but not officially by Nintendo.

• Lugia, Latios, and Latias - while Latios and Latias are considered the Eon Duo, they are considerably similar to Lugia and are thus sometimes considered as part of a trio with it.
• Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Darkrai - the Dark Trio. These three are similar in traits and seem to act as Generational counterparts to each other. They also have similar movies - with them beginning as villains but really being victims of circumstance.
• Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect - the Event Trio. A group of three event Legendaries in Generation V.
