'''Pokémon Rumble World''' (Japanese: '''みんなのポケモンスクランブル''' ''Everyone's Pokémon Scramble'') is a {{wp|freemium}} [[Nintendo 3DS]] game released in most regions on April 8, 2015 and is the fourth entry in the [[Pokémon Rumble series]]. The game is free to download, but features in-game microtransactions. The game features all species of Pokémon available at the time of release. [[Mega Evolution]], including the use of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}, Primal {{p|Groudon}}, and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}, is also possible.

The title "Pokémon Rumble World" was originally discovered prior to its announcement due to [[n:Australian Classification Board rates Pokémon Rumble World|receiving a classification from the Australian Classification Board]].

==Story==
The game is set in the [[Kingdom of Toys]]. At the start of the game, the king greets the player's [[Mii]], jealous of a magician who has 10 Pokémon, whereas the king only has one {{p|Pikachu}}. The King asks the player to borrow his Pikachu and to go catch Pokémon. The player's Mii leaves the palace via a hot-air balloon to collect wild [[Toy Pokémon]] and ends up in the King's Training Field.

When the player returns to the castle, the King dubs the player an official adventurer, "endorsed by the King himself", and the player emerges in the castle courtyard.

===King's Training Field===

| style="background:#FFF" | {{p|Wurmple}}
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Second area
|}

In this stage, provided the player completes the stage, the player will always be able to collect a Torchic and a Treecko. The Wurmple, as well as the Mudkip and Marshtomp in the boss area are not able to be caught.

==Castle Courtyard==
[[File:Rumble World icon.png|thumb|right|Icon from the 3DS home menu and Miiverse community]]
The courtyard acts as the hub for the entire game. From here, the player can interact with recently caught Pokémon, several Mii characters, and access the various buildings to do different things, such as shopping or going on adventures.

While in the courtyard, the player controls a toy Pokémon and can switch Pokémon to prepare for their next adventure. In the courtyard, the player can press the A button next to a Mii or Pokémon to interact with it. Miis will generally offer to take the player to one of two daily "special treat" areas or to the last area visited. Occasionally, they will share items with the player, including Diamonds. If the player interacts with his or her own Mii, that Mii will either feed the Pokémon, pet it, dance with the Pokémon by bobbing back and forth quickly, or invite the Pokémon to jump up and be held. Some Pokémon (particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]] such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), when invited to be held, will instead jump on the Mii, squashing it flat for a moment.

When not interacting with any other characters in the courtyard, pressing the A button will cause the Pokémon to look out at the player directly (as if looking at the camera filming the area). Pressing the B button causes it to hop up and down while making its cry, which can sometimes invite the player's Mii to chase it around; if the player refuses to interact with the Mii after a while, the Mii will look sad. Miis also can trip over their feet and fall to the ground with a surprised look, and sometimes retain that shocked expression or turn sad after getting back up.

Miis from [[StreetPass]] and {{wp|SpotPass}} will occasionally visit the player's game. Those Miis, upon being saved in a stage, may appear in the courtyard with their partner Pokémon. The player can add any Pokémon who thus appear to the Pokémon in the Pokédex, providing a great way for friends to help complete each other's Pokédexes.

===Castle===
This is where the King resides with various other characters introduced throughout the game. The primary reason for the player to visit the castle is to obtain challenges from the King; outside of challenges, the player can visit to see how many more new Pokémon species need to be caught in order to increase the player's rank. It also serves as the location the player begins the game in, with the King lending the player his own 35-37 Power Pikachu. This introductory phase is the only time the player can access the ''King's Training Field'' stage.

If the player releases the King's Pikachu, it will reappear at the King's side for subsequent visits. If the player holds on to it, it will not appear when visiting.

====Challenges====
Completing these goals gives Poké Diamonds as well as other various items, such as clothing, frames, or backgrounds. Challenges are offered daily; players can undertake additional challenges on the same day if high enough in rank. The challenges can be replayed at any time as often as the player wishes to collect the rest of the Diamonds; once all Diamond rewards have been obtained for a challenge, there is no additional reward for further completion.

The awarding of Diamonds for challenges works as follows for all challenges:
*Defeating the main challenge (in blue) earns five Diamonds.<ref group=note>In "The King's Adventure", completing the main goal earns the player 6 Diamonds. This may go with the King's comment after the mission: "Your reward will be greater than ever!"</ref>
*Completing any secondary objectives (e.g. don't destroy any forts, use only Fairy-type Pokémon) earns two Diamonds each.
*Completing in hard mode also earns two Diamonds.
*If the main (blue) mission is not completed, no Diamonds are awarded for any other tasks and the "LOSE" ending comes up, at which point the player returns to the courtyard.

===Shop===
"''Step right up for goods of all sorts!'' "

This is the first place the player will go after the tutorial. This is where the player can buy various Balloons to use for a "Pokémon-Seeking Adventure". A generic female Mii runs the Shop when the player first plays the game. When the player obtains visitors, they will take turns running the Shop beginning the next day. When the player interacts with the Shop, the Mii introduces itself by saying, "Welcome. I'm <name>, the store manager for today."

Besides Balloons, an "Extras" section provides items such as the various types of trees as well as the ability to expand the player's Pokémon storage capacity using a "Pokémon House". Clothes, backgrounds, and frames can also be obtained. Some items appear as Daily Specials and can only be bought that day (some with coins, some with Poké Diamonds), but those rotate in over time and can be purchased on other days if missed when they appear.

As the player befriends wild Toy Pokémon, their Adventurer Rank increases. As their Adventurer Rank increases, more items are available in the shop and the stages will feature more powerful Pokémon.

====Poké Diamonds====
The shop acts as the hub to the Nintendo eShop for the purpose of buying Diamonds.

Poké Diamonds (Japanese: '''ポケダイヤ''' ''Poké Diamond'') are a special currency in the game which the player can purchase with real money from the [[Nintendo eShop]], although they can also be found during gameplay (such as when clearing a stage or through StreetPass). Poké Diamonds can be used to make it easier to find different kinds of [[wild Pokémon]], exchanged for hot-air balloons rides, change the clothes of Miis, re-inflate balloons faster, and to continue playing in a stage after a Pokémon's HP runs out. The player can also buy additional Pokémon storage with Poké Diamonds, to add to the initial 30 slots.

Poké Diamonds can be purchased in sets ranging from 50 Poké Diamonds (at minimal cost) to 1,750 Poké Diamonds. The pricing is structured so that larger packages net the buyer some form of savings; for instance, buying 1,750 Diamonds saves $8.16 over buying 35 separate packages of 50 Diamonds. The maximum number of Poké Diamonds the player can buy is 3000, which can best be achieved by buying 200 (for the promo), 1,750, 1,000, then 50 Diamonds. Once the maximum limit is reached, a Mine appears, awarding 20 Poké Diamonds a day, as well as a Balloon VIP card, reducing the cost to re-inflate balloons to 1 Poké Diamond for all balloons. There will also be one-time limited sales on Poké Diamonds.

|}

Poké Diamonds can also be obtained for free by StreetPass and SpotPass. One is awarded for every five visitors, and saving those visitors on adventures can sometimes earn Diamonds as well immediately after they are saved.

===Balloon Stop===
"''Hot-air balloons for all destinations depart here!'' "

This is the place where the player can go on "Pokémon-Seeking Adventures". All Balloons owned by the player are listed; any that are ready to use (fully inflated) appear with an OK symbol while any appearing with a period of time cannot be used until that time expires (they are being inflated). Balloons can be favorited just like Pokémon can; those Balloons appear at the top of the list even above other Balloons that are ready to use.

[[File:Fever Rumble World.png|thumb|250px|Fever mode activating]]
When using a balloon, the stage the player visits is decided by a roulette. Stages can have stars attached to them at random; when this happens, additional new Pokémon appear in the stage as bosses. If Fever mode activates, one, two, or sometimes three stars will be added to some sub-areas. Super Fever does the same thing, but usually improves several areas to the maximum number of stars all at once before selection. During fever mode, not all areas are necessarily improved.

The area visited and the characteristics of the area visited depends on the number of Stars:

{| class="roundy" style="background:#{{fire color dark}}; text-align:center; border:3px solid #{{fire color}}"
! style="background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Stars
! style="background:#{{fire color light}}" | Area Type

|style="text-align:left" |Entrance Boss appears as a normal enemy.
|- style="background:#fff"

| style="background:#fff" | Special
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}; text-align:left" | Same as Back. Boss is always a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
|}
* Cloyster appears to be a random exception to this rule, only appearing in the Center area of Vast Ocean and not anywhere else.

A player can use Poké Diamonds to inflate a Balloon immediately, at which time it can be used again. The cost to immediately inflate a Balloon depends on the amount of time remaining before the next free use:

{| class="roundy" style="background:#{{fire color dark}}; text-align:center; border:3px solid #{{fire color}}"
! style="background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Time Remaining

| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 8-10 Hours
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 5 Diamonds
|}

====Areas====
The areas a player can travel to is based on which Balloons have been purchased. Each area consists of between three and six sub-areas which each contain a different set of Pokémon. Each of these sub-areas has a certain Pokémon designated as the Boss, which is encountered at the end of the area. The Boss is the Pokémon on top of the sub-area on the selection screen.

After finishing an area (or losing and returning anyway), if the player has visitors, one of the visitors will always offer to send the player to the last sub-area traveled to for a price, the cost of which seems to depend on its star level. For instance, traveling to the Entrance area will cost one Diamond, whereas traveling back to a Special area will cost three Diamonds. The identity of the Mii making this offer changes every day to a different visitor.

===Move Tutor Shop===
[[File:Move Tutor Shop Rumble World.png|thumb|right|The Move Tutor Shop in the castle courtyard.]]
"''We teach moves to Pokémon.'' "

At Level 26 (or earlier if obtained via daily playing), the mission "Catch the Garden Intruder" is available at the castle. When completed, the King rewards the player with this building. Once obtained, the player may select any Pokémon currently owned and head to the shop, which appears to the left of the Balloon Stop.

Two options are presented when the shop is interacted with: "Teach a Move" and "Switch Move A and Move B". The latter can be done for free.

====Teach a Move====
When this option is selected, a list of moves that the Pokémon is currently capable of learning appears. The list contains all moves that the player has, to that point, had on any of their Pokémon, including any who have been released. Any moves not yet obtained on a caught Pokémon in the gameplay will not be available to be taught.

Each move has a different cost depending on the number of Stars shown next to the move.

Status moves also vary by price, but it is currently not known how the pricing is determined.

===Special Stone Shop===
[[File:Special Stone Shop Rumble World.png|thumb|right|The Special Stone Shop in the castle courtyard.]]
"''Power up your Pokémon with special stones!'' "

Once the player has completed the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General" they will be rewarded with a [[Mega Ring|Mega Key]] and the Special Stone Shop, where players can buy various [[Mega Stone]]s for Pokémon to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] as well as the [[Colored orbs|Red and Blue Orbs]]. After buying a Mega Stone and attaching it to a Pokémon, Mega Evolution is possible within any stage for that Pokémon.

Each Special Stone (Mega Stone, Red Orb or Blue Orb) costs 5 Poké Diamonds. The first time the player buys a Special Stone, it is free. Some players have reported that the shop tends to only offer a Special Stone to the last Pokémon of the species that was caught, disregarding any stronger or preferred Pokémon the player may have of the same species.

The Special Stone Shop is located to the right of the regular Shop.

===Rust Removal Spot===
''"Rusty Pokémon will be made to sparkle!"''

When the player reaches level 55, [[Rusty Pokémon]] will begin to appear among regular Pokémon. These are unique in that they can only use the move {{m|Struggle}} if they are utilized on the field. By clearing the challenge "Dragon Marshal Advance," this fountain will be obtainable from the Shop. Cleaning any Rusty Pokémon in this way at the Rust Fountain costs 1 Poké Diamond per Pokémon, except for the first cleaning (which is free). Pokémon who have been cleaned often have special traits or moves, or may be more powerful than others caught of the same species.

Cleaning Rusty Pokémon works the same way as saying goodbye to Pokémon; the player selects all of the Pokémon to clean at once and then presses B to confirm. If a player has used the R button to favorite a Rusty Pokémon (possibly to prevent getting rid of it by accident before obtaining the Rust Removal Spot), the player must then undo the favorite action before that Pokémon can be selected for rust removal.

The Rust Fountain is located to the left of the Move Tutor Shop.

===Poké Diamond Digger===
[[File:Poké_Diamond_Digger_Rumble_World.png|thumb|right|The Poké Diamond Digger in the castle courtyard.]]
''It digs up 20 Poké Diamonds every day!''

If a player buys all of their allowed 3,000 Diamonds at any time, the Mine is given to the player for free. This building will allow the player to collect 20 additional Poké Diamonds daily at no cost. This can only be done once a day.

==Passwords==
Players are able to receive special Pokémon once they reach adventurer level 4, via special passwords posted on the official website. The Pokémon appears in blue text (similar to some multi-trait Pokémon) and the word "Gift" precedes the name of the Pokémon in-game. Each has a special ability.

If a player says goodbye to any of the Gift Pokémon, they can be claimed again with the same password. Any such Pokémon which the player dismisses do not give 10 Coins upon release like other Pokémon do.

Passwords can be entered by pressing the Start button while in the courtyard, selecting "Passwords", and then selecting "Enter Password". After a password is entered, the player must press OK. If the password is valid, the player will automatically visit the King to claim the Gift Pokémon or will receive the gift directly if not a Pokémon. Passwords cannot be entered while on a Pokémon-Seeking Adventure.

==Differences from [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]]==
*Pokémon Rumble World is free to start and supported by micro-transactions, while Pokémon Rumble Blast must be paid for upfront.
**Therefore, Pokémon Rumble World, as a free game, must be downloaded whereas Pokémon Rumble Blast can be purchased in cartridge form.
*The [[Toy Pokémon]] in Rumble Blast are smaller than Miis, whereas in Rumble World they are now almost the same size as the Miis.
**However, they do shrink significantly upon defeat.
*The stage can be chosen in Rumble Blast, but is randomly chosen by a spinner in Pokémon Rumble World.
*The player's Mii explores with their Toy Pokémon, and generally arrives to pick them up after a stage. Previously, only the Pokémon explored.
**A player's HP is automatically healed and any Pokémon revived following a stage in Pokémon Rumble World, whereas in Pokémon Rumble Blast players have to heal at a Glowdrop Fountain. The new format may be the Mii performing maintenance of sorts on the toys.
*Pokémon Rumble World includes Pokémon and mechanics from [[Generation VI]], including [[Mega Evolution]], [[Primal Reversion]], and the {{t|Fairy}} type.
*Pokémon Rumble Blast uses springboards to move the player from area to area as well as using an exclamation point to identify the next area having the boss. Pokémon Rumble World uses holes in the ground and no exclamation point.
*Pokémon Rumble Blast has fort areas where bridges connect from one battle zone to the next as the player clears each area. Pokémon Rumble World has adventure challenges incorporating protecting a Mii or other character (Diancie, the King) that only unlock the next area after the player clears the area currently being played.

==Glitches==
{{main|List of glitches in spin-off games}}
From release, there was a problem with the game routinely [[Game freeze|freezing]] during play on [[New Nintendo 3DS]] and [[New Nintendo 3DS XL]] systems. The sound would cut out and the system would completely freeze a few seconds later, forcing a shutdown of the system. On April 21, 2015, Nintendo released a firmware system update to fix the issue. From the official site:

''"Recently, an issue was discovered that causes Pokémon Rumble World to occasionally stop working during gameplay. This issue is specific to New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL systems. You can resolve this issue by updating your system to the most recent version, 9.7.0-25."''

Special Traits

2015-06-11T14:44:01Z

Azurill2: Multi-trait camera focus

{{incomplete|needs=Japanese names, when Pokémon start getting Special Traits in Pokémon Rumble, special traits in Pokémon Rumble World}}
'''Special Traits''' (Japanese: '''とおりな''' ''Special titles'') are a game mechanic in the {{g|Rumble}} series.

Early on in the game, Pokémon do not have Special Traits. After reaching Chapter 3 (in Pokémon Rumble Blast), there is a chance that a Pokémon will have a Trait when they are recruited. Each Pokémon has a chance of having any Trait, though some are more likely to have a specific Trait than others. In Pokémon Rumble World, the probability of a Pokémon having a Special Trait is boosted by buying and upgrading the Special Trait Tree.

Some Traits are marked with a "+" or "++" (one to four pluses as of Pokémon Rumble World) after their name; this makes them more potent, with ++ being even more potent than +. Rusty+ does not occur, and all cleansed [[Rusty Pokémon]] will have a Trait+ (or a multi-trait in Rumble World). No Pokémon with a Trait+ can be obtained until the player reaches rank 30 in Pokémon Rumble World.

When a Pokémon with a normal Special Trait (not + or ++) [[Fainting|faints]], it will have a green gear under it prior to Pokémon Rumble World. When a Pokémon with a Special Trait+ or ++ or a Rusty Pokémon faints, it will have a pink gear under it prior to Pokémon Rumble World. In Pokémon Rumble World, all Pokémon with a Special Trait have a gold circle around them instead of a blue one and emit gold sparkles instead of blue ones. Characters with multi-traits have a red circle and sparkles, with the exception of the Epic trait which has a purple circle and sparkles. In either multi-trait case (purple or red circle), the camera will temporarily focus on where the character dropped.

In the Switch Menu, the name and Special Trait of a Pokémon with a single Special Trait are colored pink; Pokémon with multiple Special Traits, or those obtained by password, have theirs colored blue. Also, Rusty Pokémon will have their name colored brown, and Epic Pokémon will have their name colored purple.

==Blurb==

Ash realizes that he must battle and collect a ghost Pokémon in order to defeat the young girl's psychic Pokémon. In search of a ghost Pokémon, he heads immediately for a tower in Lavender Town where they are said to dwell. Jessie, James and Meowth from Team Rocket are already at the tower, but as they lay in wait for our heroes, they are attacked by Gastly, Haunter and Gangar. In the process of trying to defeat the ghost Pokémon, Ash learns a lesson or two about the mystical spirit world. Can Ash capture a ghost Pokémon and if so, will it be enough to defeat the psychic Gym Leader of Saffron City?

==Plot==
After the events of [[EP022|the previous episode]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are heading to [[Lavender Town]] so Ash can capture a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use against [[Sabrina]]. As they are hiking, the fog intensifies and {{an|Brock}} suggests that everyone should hold hands. Ash and {{an|Misty}} link up but Brock cannot find them. Brock reaches towards Ash’s hand, but mistakenly grabs {{AP|Pikachu}}'s tail, resulting in Pikachu {{m|ThunderShock|shocking}} Brock. Ash scares everyone by wearing a skull mask. He wants to help them get over their fear, but it makes everyone angry, including Pikachu, who shocks him.

The group arrives in Lavender Town and reaches the [[Pokémon Tower]] by dark. Misty and Brock want to let Ash go in alone, scared off by the tower. Ash still wants to go in, but Pikachu does not, wanting to sleep. Ash gets his sleeping bag and wants to hold until the morning, but Misty wakes them up by smacking a gong. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches them from one of the windows inside the tower. [[James]] runs off, but he falls through a hole in the floor. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} look down and see James, but Meowth notices a closet opening nearby, a {{p|Gastly}} coming out and scaring Meowth. Meowth points to it, but it disappears before Jessie sees it. Gastly goes over Jessie's face, mimicking Jessie’s speech, and Meowth attacks, {{m|scratch}}ing Jessie. Jessie angrily uses a pan to knock Meowth around and down into the hole with James. Jessie looks at herself in a mirror and sees Gastly, scaring her enough to send her falling down the hole with the others. The three of them open another hole and fall down, the scream audible to Ash and the others. Team Rocket gets back up, but Gastly scares them again, knocking them out.

Outside, Ash and his friends decide to go in, but Misty and Brock push Ash forward first. They enter the tower, and the door closes on its own, putting them into a pitch-black room. Ash sends out {{AP|Charmander}} to light the room with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, but it exhausts the Pokémon. Brock finds a candle and Charmander uses Flamethrower to light the candle, but it unintentionally torches Brock. Ash and his friends find the hole in the floor as they explore, hearing strange noises echoing. In another portion of the tower, a {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}} are watching TV, laughing at the comedy show broadcast. Gastly comes into the room and they all laugh.

Ash and co. continue exploring, entering a larger room. The room suddenly lights up as they make it out as a dining room, the table fully set. There is a rope above the table that has a note saying, “Pull this.” Ash pulls it and it releases confetti and a sign saying, “Welcome.” Suddenly, the glassware and chairs begin to levitate. Brock gets thrown around in a chair while Pikachu and Charmander get thrown around on platters. Ash and Misty run out of the room as Brock and the Pokémon jump off and run out. The tableware and chairs reset as the Ghost Pokémon show up, laughing at the mischief.

Outside, everyone is exhausted from running, Misty and Brock fully convinced not to go back in. Ash still wants to go in, but his Pokémon are not as willing. Ash tries to convince them as Pikachu remembers losing to Kadabra. Ash and his Pokémon are willing to take another shot, but Misty and Brock still want to stay behind. They go back inside and face the hole Team Rocket created earlier. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] about Ghost Pokémon as they approach the hole. They hear commotion and think the Pokémon are down there. Pikachu attacks with ThunderShock, hitting Team Rocket. Charmander uses Flamethrower to burn Team Rocket, creating a fire. Ash throws a {{ball|Poké}}, but it hits Jessie in the face. Jessie gets angry as her hair catches fire. She runs around, creating a fireball from Ash's view. Haunter gets behind Ash as Pikachu spots it and freaks out, but Ash misses it. Haunter appears in front of Ash and spooks him as he checks his Pokédex. There is no data, so Ash sends Charmander, but the Pokémon disappears. It appears behind Ash and taps his shoulder. He thinks it's Pikachu, but he sees the hand and spooks out. Ash sends Charmander to use {{m|Leer}}. They both pull off fierce looks, but Charmander suddenly makes a funny face, making Haunter laugh. Ash scolds it as Charmander scratches his head, but Haunter appears in front of Charmander and {{m|Lick}}s him.

Ash recalls Charmander, Haunter still laughing. Gengar materializes through the floor right in front of Ash before smacking him with a fan. Both ghosts are laughing as Ash checks his Pokédex, but there is still no information. Gengar smacks Haunter with the fan and laughs, but Ash does not find it funny. They try to make Ash laugh, but it does not work. The Pokémon are clearly upset as they sink into the floor. Ash and Pikachu jump after them to stop them, but they miss, Ash crashing into the floor. The rattle drops a chandelier on top of them, knocking them out. Pikachu lights the chandelier with electricity. The Ghost Pokémon applaud at the show, but when the chandelier loses electricity, Gengar taps them as Haunter goes up to them and pulls ghost forms of Ash and Pikachu out. They wake up and are shocked at seeing their bodies on the ground. The Ghost Pokémon takes Ash and Pikachu to the top of the tower. Outside, they admire the view as Ash sees Misty and Brock waiting. Ash listens in on the conversation as Misty mentions that he is taking too long, wanting to go in and check on him. Ash speaks as Misty looks behind her, hearing Ash’s voice. Ash pulls Misty into the air before dropping her, Brock catching her. Misty gets up and runs into the tower, Brock following, while Ash and Pikachu fly with the Ghost Pokémon. Haunter gets in front of Ash as he goes through Haunter’s mouth. Everyone laughs, having fun.

The Pokémon take Ash and Pikachu to a room holding several toys. The Ghost Pokémon were not trying to scare people, as they just wanted new playmates. Ash has to turn down the playtime in order to continue his quest, upsetting the Ghost. Meanwhile, Misty and Brock find Ash and Pikachu’s bodies, pulling them out from under the chandelier and trying to wake them. Both are clearly worried, but Misty voices more concern for Ash. Ash and Pikachu return to their bodies and wake up. Misty and Brock are relieved that they are okay, with Misty on the verge of crying.

They leave the tower the next day, Ash deciding not to capture the Ghost Pokémon. He wants to use humor, as Pikachu points out. Haunter is behind them and scares Misty and Brock away. {{AP|Haunter}} decides to join Ash. Meanwhile, the Ghost Pokémon tie Team Rocket onto the carousel and send them spinning.

==Blurb==

Ash realizes that he must battle and collect a ghost Pokémon in order to defeat the young girl's psychic Pokémon. In search of a ghost Pokémon, he heads immediately for a tower in Lavender Town where they are said to dwell. Jessie, James and Meowth from Team Rocket are already at the tower, but as they lay in wait for our heroes, they are attacked by Gastly, Haunter and Gangar. In the process of trying to defeat the ghost Pokémon, Ash learns a lesson or two about the mystical spirit world. Can Ash capture a ghost Pokémon and if so, will it be enough to defeat the psychic Gym Leader of Saffron City?

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''伝説のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.

While most Pokémon in this group are referred to as simply "Legendary", there exist two other groups that can be considered subsets of Legendary Pokémon. The first, '''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''幻のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon''), refer to Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence; most [[event Pokémon]] fall into this category. The second, '''神話のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon'', lacks an official English name and refers to the specific Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==
==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=93.13 |
Attack=106.21 |
Defense=99.42 |
SpAtk=111.51 |
SpDef=104.25 |
Speed=101.15 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}), and all but {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}} (and Manaphy only produces the unevolvable {{p|Phione}} when it breeds with Ditto).

No Legendary Pokémon is known to [[Evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[Legendary trio]] or [[Legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them. There is one exception: {{p|Victini}}. Victini's [[Unova Pokédex]] number is #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the games and anime. For example, their {{wp|deity|godlike}} status is expressed in both the anime and the games, though in the anime they are shown to be able to breed, whereas in the games they cannot, and in the anime most of them supposedly cannot be caught in Poké Balls, while in the games, they can. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], and other people who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, due both to their rarity and their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain Legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Despite this, however, Trainers using Legendary Pokémon via [[Poké Ball]]s or even as a non-owned Pokémon is not unheard of. An example of the latter use is the fact that {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary golems}} in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. {{si|Tobias}} is another Trainer who has been shown to have Legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls, seeing to own a {{p|Darkrai}} and a {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] owned a {{p|Heatran}}. Finally, a [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the Pewter Gym under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball.

There are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, though this is not the case in the games. Some are neither immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}. The near death of {{mov|Giratina}} and {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} is also a debatable factor in the immortality of legends. Only some, in fact, are often considered unique, some of these being {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}, due to their roles in the creation of the Pokémon world and their respective regions.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 51 (52 counting {{p|Phione}}) are considered to be Legendary ({{#expr: (49/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%; {{#expr: (50/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% counting Phione), while several more have certain characteristics of Legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Legendary trio and one Legendary duo, with the notable exception of [[Generation V]] which introduced the first Legendary quartet and no Legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[Legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}; art from a [[Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos (Warner Bros. promo)|TCG card]] by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Seasons|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}. They also appear in Generation VI {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kalos]] before heading to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]], where they can be battled and caught.

In the anime, the Legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, a wild Mew can be found on [[Faraway Island]], an event-exclusive area. This is the only time a Mew has been legitimately able to be caught in the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been genetically modified from Mew in its Pokédex entries. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

Mewtwo received two [[Mega Evolution]]s in [[Generation VI]], which increase its base stat total to 780, currently higher than any other Pokémon. Mega Mewtwo Y was featured in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

===Generation II===
More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of Legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away, Lugia resolving to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{key|IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated have a father. This implies that at least some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the anime, unlike in the games.

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the Legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{key|IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|{{p|Celebi}} on its [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[Trade|trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, [[Celebi (M04)|one]] accidentally brings [[Sam]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A {{OBP|Celebi|M13}} also played an important role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which [[Grings Kodai]] wanted to use the "ripple of time" created by Celebi's time travels to allow himself to get visions of the future.

===Generation III===
Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient Legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
{{main|Legendary golems}}
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in Hoenn legend. Truly, this Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

In the anime, the [[Legendary golems (M08)|three Legendary golems]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. 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.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', in which the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when testing the Pewter Gym in [[SS025]].

====Weather trio====
{{main|Weather trio}}
[[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[Ability|Abilities]] as the weather trio, serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their remakes {{2v|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}}, being the first Legendary trio to be version mascots, and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have shaped the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the Legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective Legendary Pokémon, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the annoyance of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi AG anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event Legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]] released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative. Jirachi made its TV debut in ''[[BW132|Searching for a Wish!]]'', during the [[Decolore Islands]] saga, when one emerged after a slumber of 1,000 years.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first Legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, Defense Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will starting from [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]], and [[Nacrene City]] in [[Unova]].

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}} is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event Legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', in which Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Thirteen more Legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]] (fourteen counting Phione), the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to 34 (35 counting Phione). Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Six of the 13 introduced (seven of the 14 counting Phione) are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Pokédex.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a Legendary Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched—never surpassed—in Generation II and Generation III. In Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s native Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
{{main|Creation trio}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga or Palkia can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Cresselia and Darkrai DP4 artwork.png|thumb|175px|left|{{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}]]
Two sidequest Legendary Pokémon and event Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|full moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after obtaining the Lunar Wing in the [[Strange House]]. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a Legendary duo that, somewhat like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a Legendary Pokémon that makes its home in colder seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its Egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', in which, like in the games, it first appeared as an Egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', in which they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione's status as a Legendary Pokémon is disputed, with several pieces of evidence and even official statements often contradicting each other. Further information can be found [[Phione#Legendary status|here]].

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}} and [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance. Unlike previous event Legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon Egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an Egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', in which it set out to destroy [[Michina Town]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina Town in peace.
{{left clear}}

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional Legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]] totaling 47 Legendary Pokémon (48 in you count [[Generation IV]]'s Phione). {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black and White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression.

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|160px|{{ga|Hilda}}, {{p|Victini}}, and {{ga|Hilbert}}]]
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what.

In Pokémon Black and White, if the player possesses the [[Liberty Ticket]], the player can take a boat to [[Liberty Garden]], where Team Plasma is attempting to obtain Victini for the energy it radiates. It is later revealed that Victini was sealed in the basement of the lighthouse by a wealthy person in order to protect it from people with bad intentions.

Victini is a star of [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']].

====Swords of Justice====
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
[[File:Swords of Justice.png|thumb|left|200px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} whom the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).

They made their anime debut together, in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', where Keldeo was responsible for the freezing of the other three during a battle against {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}, and sought help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.

====Forces of Nature====
[[File:Kami trio Myth.png|thumb|Right|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] they receive a new Forme, the Therian Forme, with their old Forme known as the Incarnate Forme; the Formes can be switched between with the [[Reveal Glass]].

In the anime, the Forces of Nature were sought by [[Team Rocket]] in Unova from ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' until they were able to awaken them on [[Milos Island]] in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. Tornadus and Thundurus fought on the island, while Ash and his friends awakened Landorus to put a stop to the fight (they all appeared in Incarnate Forme during these episodes). The debuted in Therain Forme in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when Team Rocket once again attempted to capture them as the final goal of "Operation Tempest". Together, they are said to have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the Reveal Glass.

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon Stone]] the player possesses, and the player must capture it and use it to defeat N. After his defeat, N rides off on his dragon to a far-off region. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which take place two years later, [[Ghetsis]] revives Team Plasma and captures Kyurem in order to freeze and take control of the Unova region. N confronts him with Zekrom/Reshiram, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem/White Kyurem. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region.

Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electric crisis, and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterwards. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}, Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems as a ferocious Pokémon, and can change forms without the DNA Splicers.

====Meloetta====
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|right|180px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two formes]]
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music (Aria Forme) and dance (Pirouette Forme). Legend says that it once sang and danced joyfully. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody and its red shoes. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It made its TV debut in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' (in Aria Forme) and ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' (in Pirouette Forme).

====Genesect====
[[File:Genesect anime.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Genesect}} in the anime]]
{{p|Genesect}} is an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago. Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] and altered it with cybernetic upgrades in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

Genesect had its anime debut in a group called the [[Genesect Army]] that had escaped from Team Plasma's [[P2 Laboratory]]. They were first seen in {{an|N}} visions in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', and later on starred in the sixteenth Pokémon movie ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', in which they battled Mewtwo in [[New Tork City]].

===Generation VI===

====Mortality Duo====
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]
The Legendary [[version mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, is a tall, navy-blue deer-like Pokémon with white antlers with rainbow-colored lights, and is a {{t|Fairy}} type. Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, is a black and red bird-like Pokémon with black horns, and is a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} type.
{{-}}

====Zygarde====
[[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}|left]]{{p|Zygarde}}, the Order Pokémon, is a tall black and green, serpent-like Pokémon with green and white hexagonal scales, and is a {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} type. It has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities.
{{-}}

====Diancie====
[[File:719Diancie.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Diancie}}]]
{{p|Diancie}} is an event Pokémon from Kalos. Very little is known about it, but it is a {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} type, and can create diamonds to protect itself. It will appear alongside the Mortality Duo in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
* Generation I is the only generation (excluding Generation VI) in which all of its Legendary Pokémon have appeared in a movie. Mewtwo appeared in both ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M16|Genesect and The Legend Awakened]]'', Mew appeared in both ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', while the birds appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
** Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in anime appearances, opening sequences, and in a cameo in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'', only to be Mew in disguise.
** Groudon is the only Generation III Legendary which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in the opening sequences of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. There was a fake Groudon in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. However, the real Groudon has appeared with its counterpart, Kyogre, in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** Generation IV is the generation with the greatest amount of Legendary Pokémon that have not appeared in a movie: the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Phione}}, and {{p|Cresselia}}. This group is notable for not even appearing via cameos in the movies, except for Cresselia, who appeared in the opening of ''[[M10|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Whether or not Phione is considered a Legendary Pokémon, it still hasn't appeared in a movie. All five have their own debut episodes in the anime, however.
**The [[Forces of Nature]] and {{p|Meloetta}} are the only Generation V Legendary Pokémon to not appear in a movie. The Forces of Nature appear in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. Meloetta appears from ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' to ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' and in the [[Pikachu short]]s [[PK23]] and ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type|Flying}} Legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type Legendary Pokémon in Generation IV, {{p|Shaymin}}, is only Flying-type in its Sky Forme, which was not introduced until Pokémon Platinum.
* {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can breed, and also not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.
* {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently nine: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], and the [[Forces of Nature]]).
* Other than {{p|Arceus}} holding a {{DL|Plate|Toxic Plate}}, there are no {{type|Poison}} Legendary Pokémon, making it the only type not to include any Legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
*** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
*** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild Legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in eleven main series games each ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and [[Pokémon X and Y]]). The least available wild Legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Genderless Legendary Pokémon who appear in the anime are usually given a voice that is either identifiably male or female, if able to [[Talking Pokémon|converse with humans]]. One exception is {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in the original Japanese, who was voiced by Akihiro Miwa (a female impersonator) in order to give it an androgynous-sounding voice.
* While the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, was added to the original games right before release, the concept of "{{tt|illusory|Same term translated as 'mythical' by TPCi}} monsters" already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. Some of them were said not to be catchable, and some not even encounterable. As an example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around 2 hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''伝説のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.

While most Pokémon in this group are referred to as simply "Legendary", there exist two other groups that can be considered subsets of Legendary Pokémon. The first, '''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''幻のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon''), refer to Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence; most [[event Pokémon]] fall into this category. The second, '''神話のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon'', lacks an official English name and refers to the specific Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==
==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=93.13 |
Attack=106.21 |
Defense=99.42 |
SpAtk=111.51 |
SpDef=104.25 |
Speed=101.15 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}), and all but {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}} (and Manaphy only produces the unevolvable {{p|Phione}} when it breeds with Ditto).

No Legendary Pokémon is known to [[Evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[Legendary trio]] or [[Legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them. There is one exception: {{p|Victini}}. Victini's [[Unova Pokédex]] number is #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the games and anime. For example, their {{wp|deity|godlike}} status is expressed in both the anime and the games, though in the anime they are shown to be able to breed, whereas in the games they cannot, and in the anime most of them supposedly cannot be caught in Poké Balls, while in the games, they can. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], and other people who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, due both to their rarity and their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain Legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Despite this, however, Trainers using Legendary Pokémon via [[Poké Ball]]s or even as a non-owned Pokémon is not unheard of. An example of the latter use is the fact that {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary golems}} in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed. {{si|Tobias}} is another Trainer who has been shown to have Legendary Pokémon in Poké Balls, seeing to own a {{p|Darkrai}} and a {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] owned a {{p|Heatran}}. Finally, a [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the Pewter Gym under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball.

There are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, though this is not the case in the games. Some are neither immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}. The near death of {{mov|Giratina}} and {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} is also a debatable factor in the immortality of legends. Only some, in fact, are often considered unique, some of these being {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}, due to their roles in the creation of the Pokémon world and their respective regions.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 51 (52 counting {{p|Phione}}) are considered to be Legendary ({{#expr: (49/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%; {{#expr: (50/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% counting Phione), while several more have certain characteristics of Legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Legendary trio and one Legendary duo, with the notable exception of [[Generation V]] which introduced the first Legendary quartet and no Legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[Legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}; art from a [[Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos (Warner Bros. promo)|TCG card]] by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]]]
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a [[Seasons|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Kanto Power Plant|Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}. They also appear in Generation VI {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kalos]] before heading to the [[Sea Spirit's Den]], where they can be battled and caught.

In the anime, the Legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{OBP|Lugia|M02}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, a wild Mew can be found on [[Faraway Island]], an event-exclusive area. This is the only time a Mew has been legitimately able to be caught in the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been genetically modified from Mew in its Pokédex entries. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

Mewtwo received two [[Mega Evolution]]s in [[Generation VI]], which increase its base stat total to 780, currently higher than any other Pokémon. Mega Mewtwo Y was featured in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

===Generation II===
More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of Legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], the home of Lugia, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, they both flew away, Lugia resolving to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{key|IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated have a father. This implies that at least some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the anime, unlike in the games.

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the creator of the Legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{key|IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|{{p|Celebi}} on its [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[Trade|trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, [[Celebi (M04)|one]] accidentally brings [[Sam]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so. A {{OBP|Celebi|M13}} also played an important role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which [[Grings Kodai]] wanted to use the "ripple of time" created by Celebi's time travels to allow himself to get visions of the future.

===Generation III===
Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient Legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
{{main|Legendary golems}}
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in Hoenn legend. Truly, this Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Regigigas}}, was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn; as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

In the anime, the [[Legendary golems (M08)|three Legendary golems]] starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. 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.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', in which the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it. In the main series, {{si|Tobias}} used a Latios against Ash, as his second Pokémon in the first semi-final battle of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. A [[Nurse Joy]] had a Latias when testing the Pewter Gym in [[SS025]].

====Weather trio====
{{main|Weather trio}}
[[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[Ability|Abilities]] as the weather trio, serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their remakes {{2v|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}}, being the first Legendary trio to be version mascots, and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have shaped the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes wrong, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the Legendary Pokémon to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective Legendary Pokémon, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the annoyance of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi AG anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event Legendary Pokémon of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]] released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative. Jirachi made its TV debut in ''[[BW132|Searching for a Wish!]]'', during the [[Decolore Islands]] saga, when one emerged after a slumber of 1,000 years.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first Legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, Defense Forme in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will starting from [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]], {{rt|3|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]], and [[Nacrene City]] in [[Unova]].

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the {{DL|Event item|AuroraTicket}} is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event Legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', in which its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', in which Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Thirteen more Legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]] (fourteen counting Phione), the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to 34 (35 counting Phione). Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Six of the 13 introduced (seven of the 14 counting Phione) are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Pokédex.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a Legendary Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched—never surpassed—in Generation II and Generation III. In Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s native Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. [[Cyrus]] summons {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop them. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
{{main|Creation trio}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a feature he hates about humanity. In Diamond and Pearl, Dialga or Palkia can be caught at [[Spear Pillar]], while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at the Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[File:Cresselia and Darkrai DP4 artwork.png|thumb|175px|left|{{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}]]
Two sidequest Legendary Pokémon and event Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|full moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], Cresselia can be found on [[Marvelous Bridge]] after obtaining the Lunar Wing in the [[Strange House]]. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a Legendary duo that, somewhat like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a Legendary Pokémon that makes its home in colder seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its Egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', in which, like in the games, it first appeared as an Egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', in which they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione's status as a Legendary Pokémon is disputed, with several pieces of evidence and even official statements often contradicting each other. Further information can be found [[Phione#Legendary status|here]].

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}} and [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Ten'i Village]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', in which it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance. Unlike previous event Legendary Pokémon with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon Egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an Egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at the [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', in which it set out to destroy [[Michina Town]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina Town in peace.
{{left clear}}

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional Legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]] totaling 47 Legendary Pokémon (48 in you count [[Generation IV]]'s Phione). {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black and White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression.

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|160px|{{ga|Hilda}}, {{p|Victini}}, and {{ga|Hilbert}}]]
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what.

In Pokémon Black and White, if the player possesses the [[Liberty Ticket]], the player can take a boat to [[Liberty Garden]], where Team Plasma is attempting to obtain Victini for the energy it radiates. It is later revealed that Victini was sealed in the basement of the lighthouse by a wealthy person in order to protect it from people with bad intentions.

Victini is a star of [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']].

====Swords of Justice====
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
[[File:Swords of Justice.png|thumb|left|200px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, antelopes, oxen, goats, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).

They made their anime debut together, in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', where Keldeo was responsible for the freezing of the other three during a battle against {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}, and sought help from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.

====Forces of Nature====
[[File:Kami trio Myth.png|thumb|Right|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth. According to a folktale retold by children at the [[Abundant Shrine]], Landorus punished Tornadus and Thundurus for destroying the land with gales and thunderstorms, and a shrine was built in honor of him. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] they receive a new Forme, the Therian Forme, with their old Forme known as the Incarnate Forme; the Formes can be switched between with the [[Reveal Glass]].

In the anime, the Forces of Nature were sought by [[Team Rocket]] in Unova from ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' until they were able to awaken them on [[Milos Island]] in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]''. Tornadus and Thundurus fought on the island, while Ash and his friends awakened Landorus to put a stop to the fight (they all appeared in Incarnate Forme during these episodes). The debuted in Therain Forme in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', when Team Rocket once again attempted to capture them as the final goal of "Operation Tempest". Together, they are said to have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the Reveal Glass.

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon Stone]] the player possesses, and the player must capture it and use it to defeat N. After his defeat, N rides off on his dragon to a far-off region. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], which take place two years later, [[Ghetsis]] revives Team Plasma and captures Kyurem in order to freeze and take control of the Unova region. N confronts him with Zekrom/Reshiram, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem/White Kyurem. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region.

Reshiram and Zekrom are the stars of [[M14|''Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] along with Victini. Zekrom debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' causing [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s electric crisis, and appeared in numerous flashbacks and fantasies afterwards. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''.

{{p|Kyurem}} is related to Reshiram and Zekrom and represents {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, which is the absence of yin and yang. Using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}, Kyurem can be fused with Reshiram or Zekrom into White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively; with the same item, the fusion can be undone.

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems as a ferocious Pokémon, and can change forms without the DNA Splicers.

====Meloetta====
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|right|180px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two formes]]
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music (Aria Forme) and dance (Pirouette Forme). Legend says that it once sang and danced joyfully. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody and its red shoes. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It made its TV debut in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' (in Aria Forme) and ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' (in Pirouette Forme).

====Genesect====
[[File:Genesect anime.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Genesect}} in the anime]]
{{p|Genesect}} is an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago. Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] and altered it with cybernetic upgrades in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

Genesect had its anime debut in a group called the [[Genesect Army]] that had escaped from Team Plasma's [[P2 Laboratory]]. They were first seen in {{an|N}} visions in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', and later on starred in the sixteenth Pokémon movie ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', in which they battled Mewtwo in [[New Tork City]].

===Generation VI===

====Mortality Duo====
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]
The Legendary [[version mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, is a tall, navy-blue deer-like Pokémon with white antlers with rainbow-colored lights, and is a {{t|Fairy}} type. Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, is a black and red bird-like Pokémon with black horns, and is a {{2t|Dark|Flying}} type.
{{-}}

====Zygarde====
[[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}|left]]{{p|Zygarde}}, the Order Pokémon, is a tall black and green, serpent-like Pokémon with green and white hexagonal scales, and is a {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} type. It has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities.
{{-}}

====Diancie====
[[File:719Diancie.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Diancie}}]]
{{p|Diancie}} is an event Pokémon from Kalos. Very little is known about it, but it is a {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} type, and can create diamonds to protect itself. It will appear alongside the Mortality Duo in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
* Generation I is the only generation (excluding Generation VI) in which all of its Legendary Pokémon have appeared in a movie. Mewtwo appeared in both ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M16|Genesect and The Legend Awakened]]'', Mew appeared in both ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', while the birds appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
** Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in anime appearances, opening sequences, and in a cameo in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'', only to be Mew in disguise.
** Groudon is the only Generation III Legendary which hasn't appeared in a movie, only appearing in the opening sequences of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. There was a fake Groudon in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. However, the real Groudon has appeared with its counterpart, Kyogre, in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** Generation IV is the generation with the greatest amount of Legendary Pokémon that have not appeared in a movie: the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Phione}}, and {{p|Cresselia}}. This group is notable for not even appearing via cameos in the movies, except for Cresselia, who appeared in the opening of ''[[M10|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Whether or not Phione is considered a Legendary Pokémon, it still hasn't appeared in a movie. All five have their own debut episodes in the anime, however.
**The [[Forces of Nature]] and {{p|Meloetta}} are the only Generation V Legendary Pokémon to not appear in a movie. The Forces of Nature appear in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. Meloetta appears from ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' to ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'' and in the [[Pikachu short]]s [[PK23]] and ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type|Flying}} Legendary Pokémon, though the only Flying-type Legendary Pokémon in Generation IV, {{p|Shaymin}}, is only Flying-type in its Sky Forme, which was not introduced until Pokémon Platinum.
* {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can breed, and also not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.
* {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently nine: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], and the [[Forces of Nature]]).
* Other than {{p|Arceus}} holding a {{DL|Plate|Toxic Plate}}, there are no {{type|Poison}} Legendary Pokémon, making it the only type not to include any Legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
*** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
*** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild Legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in eleven main series games each ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and [[Pokémon X and Y]]). The least available wild Legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Genderless Legendary Pokémon who appear in the anime are usually given a voice that is either identifiably male or female, if able to [[Talking Pokémon|converse with humans]]. One exception is {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in the original Japanese, who was voiced by Akihiro Miwa (a female impersonator) in order to give it an androgynous-sounding voice.
* While the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, was added to the original games right before release, the concept of "{{tt|illusory|Same term translated as 'mythical' by TPCi}} monsters" already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. Some of them were said not to be catchable, and some not even encounterable. As an example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around 2 hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

Talk:List of Pokémon

2014-07-01T05:12:43Z

Azurill2: /* List of Pokémon by Field Move (Ranger Series) */ reply

Do glitches count like Pokemon? I think not, therefore I think we should take the Glitch list out. [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 01:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
:If we had a separare article for an actual list of glitch Pokémon, and not just glitches, we should use that... It is a valid resource, some people might want a list of glitch Pokémon. And it's one of the few not on the template itself. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 05:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
::Not convinced. Glithes are not Pokemon, they are just that, glithes. If a person is looking for glitches they can type the word and look at them, but people looking for actual pokemon may think that glitches can be used to fight, trade or anything that we know they don't do if they find the link from the actual "List of Pokémon" page. [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 06:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
:::Eh, well, in RB they could technically be. Not really now. I dunno. Remove it, I guess. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 07:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

== Sortable ==

Should we perhaps use the sortable table type to merge all of these into a few articles? We could have:
* by name (English, Japanese, German, French, and Korean)
* by number (Kanto/National, Johto, Hoenn, Fiore, and Sinnoh)
* by index number (all 4 generations)
* by physical attributes (color, weight, height, and habitat)
* stats (base stats, catch rate, EVs, gender, and species)
It may seem silly, but I love being able to organize and sort things. Tell me what you all think. It could save bandwidth. And if it seems tedious, I'd be willing to do it all :P [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 08:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
:Well, it'd become ridiculously hard to add new Pokédexes... And the index number doesn't include some, the same as the regional dexes and Browser. (You know, as Sinnoh only has the 151, Kanto as well, Johto the 251, Hoenn the 202, and the Browser 213. By name, well, since we have the non-English name ones technically being in National Dex order... eh. Weight and height might be able to fit in with each other, but only if you could get it to recognize that 1'11" is smaller than 2'0". The base stats are hard enough together, it'd be crazy to put in their gender ratios, species, and all of that, too.

:We can't consolidate them all into a tiny box. This isn't Senor Cardgage Mortgage. And I dunno just how much it'd save bandwidth. If anything, the whole page would take longer to load than the individual ones, and it'd mess up the Pokémon infobox.

:Though if you wanted to go ahead and organize a list of Pokémon by type... [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 11:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

::I didn't mean to make it all one big list, that'd be insane. I'll sandbox some stuff to see if it works. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 22:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

:::If you need the info it is all in my userpage. Just edit what you need, that's what I'm doing for most of the lists. In fact I have most of the list ready in my drive, I'm just waiting for official names of the new PKMN. [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 01:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

==Type==
LIST OF POKéMON BY TYPE!! Sorry But I Have To Say That This a Key Sorting That Has Been Missed!. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 19:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm. I suppose it'd be a good idea. But then, how, exactly, would we list them? We do have separate lists for Pokémon of each type on the pages for the individual types... Anyone else think that they should be on an all-encompassing type page as well? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
In the Pokédex, there is an option that allows Pokemon to be sorted via type. The order goes like this:
''First Type:''
* Normal
* Normal/Flying*
* Fighting
* Poison
* Ground
* Rock
* Bug
* Ghost
* Fire
* Water
* Grass
* Electric
* Psychic
* Ice
* Dragon
* Dark
*Note that a secondary Flying-type goes afer the pure first type.
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 12:43, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:Well still, it's a good idea in theory, but then how would we order the secondary types? I mean, I imagine we could order it like what was done in FRLG... but eh. We'll see is all I can say. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::Sure we can. We do the sort of thing that is done [[User:Tesh/Type|here]] (without the nonexistant types) [[User:Gligar|'''Gli''']][[User talk:Gligar|'''gar''']] 19:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

[[User:Gligar|'''Gli''']][[User talk:Gligar|'''gar''']] 17:13, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

== List of Pokemon by evolution method ==

Just an idea. [[User:Gligar|Gligar]] 17:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
:Planning. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

==Orre dex==
Should there by a list of the [[Orre]]'s Pokedex-like listing (the [[Strategy Memo]]) which is basically "List of Pokemon by name" excluding Generation IV Pokémon. Just an idea. [[User:Gligar|'''Gli''']][[User talk:Gligar|'''gar''']] 19:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
:Eh, no. That'd be dumb. Alphabetically alone is fine, if people don't recognize a Pokémon that's Gen IV... Hrm. If we really really need to I'd say color-coding by generation would be better, but discussing the colors used here would be better to do first. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
::That's simple. Each Generation has its respective color used [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|here]]. And the color-coding by generation could expand to other lists. One last thing: Should "Odex" redirect to "Pokelist by name" or "Strategy Memo"?[[User:Gligar|'''Gli''']][[User talk:Gligar|'''gar''']] 22:18, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

== List of Pokémon Availible by region? ==

Since this is sometimes different than the Pokémon in the regional dex, and always different than the Pokémon in the national dex, should we have this? And if we do, should we have Kanto (and later Johto?) discriminate by Generation? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|10% Satisfaction Guaranteed!]] 01:02, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

== Pokémon by habitat? ==

Why isn't the Pokémon by habitat list included on here? It could go under a Gen III heading, or just as a special.
[[User:NikNaks|NikNaks]] 12:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

:A list of localized Spanish Pokémon names? As far as we can tell, the names of the Pokémon are the same in Spanish as they are in English; this is why [[List of Spanish Pokémon names]] redirects to [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]. Trust me, if the names were different in Spanish, there would have been a fully-compiled list of such names a long time ago. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
:If I may comment, it seems Pokémon names in every language not listed are spelled exactly the same as the English names. Although this confused me at first; perhaps it should be noted on this page that Pokémon in all other languages use the English names (with kinda funny pronunciation).

I am not sure that it even was on this site, or possibly even, now that I think about it, real (I have very convincing dreams sometimes, but I don't think this was one of them). Does anyone know of this, or am I just making it up? Either way, I think it would be a nice addition to the site.

==Pokemon by Rarity==

I've often tried to compile lists of Pokemon that can only be caught a finite number of times in-game, or that require story events, and it occured to me that a List of Pokemon by Rarity would be a very useful thing. The List of Pokemon by In-game availability is close to what I am proposing, but it counts Snorlax as the same as caterpie, since they are both catchable.
--[[User:Not nathan|Not nathan]] 22:10, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
:You may want to take a look at [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Generation IV]] (we only have a GenIV page atm) and [[List of Pokémon by catch rate]]. They might be what you're looking for. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:47, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

==Pokemon by ability?==

It would be incredibly helpful if there was a page that had a table with all the Pokémon on it, with the abilities they could use listed after, kind of like the "pokemon by base stats" table, only with abilities instead of stats. Would that be possible? [[User:Talonos|Talonos]] 21:52, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
:Well, of course it's ''possible''. But it wouldn't be very useful. The abilities have their own page with lists of Pokemon that can have it on it. There's really no need for a comprehensive list.--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] 15:31, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

== List of Pokémon by Field Move (Ranger Series) ==

What about a list of the Pokémon by their Field Move, starting with the Pokémon with level 1 of their field move, and moving up. Each field move would have a different sub-section with a table of the Pokémon underneath. If two Pokémon have the same field move at the same level, we could put them in order of the {{tt|National Pokédex|or regional Browser, I really couldn't care}}. I have all three Ranger games, and I have completed two of them, so I could get started on it to save you the bother if nessecary.----[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalk]][[User talk:Chalkwriter|writer]] 19:51, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Azurill2: /* Fix */ Fixed a minor grammatical error.

The '''Lumiose City save glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that occurs in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. It occurs whenever the game is [[Saving|saved]] and reloaded in the North and South Boulevards of [[Lumiose City]] and causes the game to not load properly. [[Nintendo]] quickly acknowledged the existence of this glitch and subsequently released a {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}} to fix it.

==Performing the glitch==
In order to trigger the effects of this [[glitch]], the {{player}} must [[Saving|save]] the game in the North or South Boulevards of [[Lumiose City]]. Then, upon reloading the game, there is an increased chance that it will fail to load the save file correctly, resulting in what appears to be a [[game freeze]].

==Effects==
Upon reloading the game, the {{player}} will find that they cannot continue their progress with the last [[Saving|save file]] available at the time the [[glitch]] was triggered. The player will be unable to move or use the {{wp|touchscreen}}, and certain textures will fail to load properly. Despite the apparent [[Game freeze|freeze]], the background music will continue to play normally. Due to the fact that the player cannot proceed past this point, and that the save file will keep being loaded incorrectly, this glitch will force the player to start a new save file.

==Fix==
[[Nintendo]] quickly acknowledged the problem, having released the version 1.1 {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}} on the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}, which fixes the Lumiose City glitch and allows correct loading of save files affected by it, as well as fixing the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation VI|GTS filter glitch}}. Some players claim that constantly pressing random buttons may stop the glitch.

Eon duo

Azurill2: /* Latias */ added the clarification I forgot with the previous edit

{{unknown name}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of Latias and Latios]]
'''Eon duo''' is a popular fan-created term that collectively refers to the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Eon Pokémon {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}, also referred to as '''Lati@s''' (as the symbol "@" looks like an "a" inside an "o") or the '''Lati twins'''.

==Latias==

|}
{{main|Latias (Pokémon)}}
'''Latias''', the female Eon Pokémon, can be found without a special event item in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Sapphire}}, {{v2|Emerald}} (depending on the player's choice), {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold}}, and {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|White 2}}.

Latias's stats lean towards defense, unlike Latios, whose stats are on the offensive side. Latias can weaken its male counterpart with its [[signature move]], {{m|Mist Ball}}. 50% of the time, the move will weaken the foe's {{stat|Special Attack}}.

In the case of Ruby, or in a case where Latios is chosen to roam [[Hoenn]] in Emerald, an [[Eon Ticket]] will take the player to [[Southern Island]] for an encounter, like with Latios. With an [[Enigma Stone]] in SoulSilver, Latias can be found and captured in [[Pewter City]].

In Ranger: Guardian Signs, Latias can be called with a Ranger Sign once you progress far enough if you play as the female character.

==Latios==

|}
{{main|Latios (Pokémon)}}
'''Latios''' is the male member of the duo, found without a special event item in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}}, {{v2|Emerald}} (depending on the player's choice), {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|SoulSilver}}, and {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Black 2}}.

While Latios and Latias are very similar, Latios has higher offensive stats. Latios can counter Latias's higher defensive stats with its [[signature move]], {{m|Luster Purge}}. This move has a rather high chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Special Defense}}.

In the case of Sapphire, or in a case where Latias is chosen to roam [[Hoenn]] in Emerald, an [[Eon Ticket]] will take the player to [[Southern Island]] for an encounter, like Latias. In HeartGold, Latios will be found in Pewter City after obtaining an [[Enigma Stone]].

In Ranger: Guardian Signs, Latios can be called with a Ranger Sign once you progress far enough if you play as the male ranger.
