Revision as of 14:02, 20 March 2017
A Legendary duo is a pair of closely related Pokémon, either representing teamwork or opposition. Just as every main region has at least one Legendary trio, every main region, besides Unova, also has a Legendary duo. In the games, they are often found after the player gets past the Elite Four but often are not as important in the main storyline as the trios are. Duos or their component parts are featured in several of the movies as keepers of peace. Sometimes, pairs of Pokémon once thought to be Legendary duos are revealed to actually be Legendary trios upon the release of a third version; even within trios, however, the dynamic between two of the members is often very close to that of a duo. Kyogre and Groudon, Dialga and Palkia, Tornadus and Thundurus, and Reshiram and Zekrom are prime examples of this.
True duos
These duos are pairs of Pokémon with similar stats and movesets, as well as a relationship in lore; the members are usually presented as equals, and function in a symmetrical dynamic.
Tower duo
- Main article: Tower duo
The tower duo is a fan term for the Legendary duo of Johto that consists of Lugia and Ho-Oh. Lugia and Ho-Oh are often regarded as polar opposites. Lugia represents the sea, storms, the color silver and is the mascot of Pokémon Silver and Pokémon SoulSilver, while Ho-Oh represents the sky, rainbows, the color gold, and is the mascot of Pokémon Gold and Pokémon HeartGold. Both are also trio masters: Lugia is the master of the Legendary birds, while Ho-Oh is the master of the Legendary beasts.
Their legend is introduced in Generation II, and states that the two birds each resided on a tower: Lugia on the Brass Tower, and Ho-Oh on the Bell Tower. When the Brass Tower was destroyed (prior to the start of the second generation games), the pair was split up, and Ho-Oh created the Legendary beasts: Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.

The eon duo is a fan term for a Legendary duo of Hoenn that consists of Latias and Latios, which are also that region's roaming Pokémon. The two share their type combinations, two of their base stats and even several moves they learn when they level up. Both were featured in the movie Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias, where they were revealed to be playful siblings.
Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald as well as Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and Black 2 and White 2, with Latios being available in Ruby, SoulSilver and Black 2, and Latias being available in Sapphire, HeartGold and White 2. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on Southern Island, accessible by Eon Ticket, in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in Pewter City, through the Enigma Stone event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Also, Cresselia and Darkrai reside on Fullmoon Island and Newmoon Island respectively, which are direct mirror images of each other.

Cosmic duo
- Main article: Cosmic duo
Cosmic duo is a fan term for the Legendary duo of Alola that consists of Solgaleo and Lunala. Solgaleo is an emissary of the sun known as the "beast that devours the sun". Lunala is an emissary of the moon known as the "beast that calls the moon". Both Pokémon evolve from Cosmoem, can create Ultra Wormholes, and with the power of both Pokémon, can create Cosmog. When grouped with their pre-evolutions, they are also referred to as the Cosmog line.

Other duos
These duos are made up of Pokémon with a strong relation in the lore, but their stats and movesets tend to be fairly distinct and not equivalent; these duos can be said to be asymmetrical compared to the true duos.
Mew and Mewtwo
- Main article: Mew duo
Mewtwo and Mew make up Kanto’s Legendary duo. They are both very elusive, if not unique, Psychic-type Pokémon. Mewtwo was cloned from Mew, meaning the two share DNA and many traits. In the games, however, they are usually treated as unrelated Pokémon, with Mewtwo's stats, level up moves and treatment in the Pokémon Stadium series being closer to that of the tower duo, while Mew's are closer to that of Celebi.
In Mewtwo Strikes Back, Mew embodied innocence and joy, but Mewtwo's experiences as it gained consciousness gave it a jaded and cynical view of humanity. The duality expressed between the two characters formed the basis of their conflict, but innocent Mew, with the help of Ash Ketchum, was able to sway Mewtwo's contempt.

Sea guardians
- Main article: Sea guardians
Manaphy and Phione are so far the only two Mythical Pokémon capable of breeding. Each can only breed with Ditto, and Eggs from both Pokémon will produce only Phione. The sea guardian duo has many similarities to the Mew duo; instead of an unnatural (through genetic engineering in a lab), stronger version, Phione is a natural (through breeding), weaker version of Manaphy; both also appear before the "original" in the Pokédex.
Due to conflicting evidence from official sources, Phione's status as a Mythical Pokémon is uncertain; if it is not a Mythical Pokémon, the sea guardian duo is not a Legendary duo.
