Pseudo-legendary is a term used to refer to the Pokémon Dragonite, Tyranitar, Flygon, Salamence, Metagross, and Garchomp. Arcanine is also a pseudo-legendary, although it only has a two-stage evolution line.

The distinguishing features of the pseudo-legendaries are that they have a three-stage evolution line; have two types; and, in most cases, have a double weakness. Pseudo-legendaries are more powerful than other Pokémon and have an outstanding Attack stat. They also have incredibly diverse movepools and can only be found in their first form. Due to this, raising them is difficult since they require a lot of experience to level up. These pokemon are located near the legendary pokemon in their regional pokedexes.
