<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{types}}<br /> The '''Poison type''' (Japanese: '''どくタイプ''' ''Poison type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Poison-type Pokémon include [[Janine]] of [[Fuchsia City]], her father [[Koga]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Roxie]] of [[Virbank City]], and [[Team Skull]] Admin [[Plumeria]]. Some [[villainous teams]], such as [[Team Rocket]], also frequently use Poison-type Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Poison-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.<br /> <br /> ==Statistical averages==<br /> ===Overall===&lt;!--as of generation 7--&gt;<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat<br /> |type=poison<br /> |HP=63.64<br /> |Attack=70.45<br /> |Defense=64.46<br /> |SpAtk=68.39<br /> |SpDef=69.06<br /> |Speed=65.19<br /> |Total=401.19 }}<br /> <br /> ===Fully evolved===&lt;!--as of generation 7--&gt;<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat<br /> |type=poison<br /> |HP=76.85<br /> |Attack=86.45<br /> |Defense=77.24<br /> |SpAtk=83.03<br /> |SpDef=86.21<br /> |Speed=80.03<br /> |Total=489.81 }}<br /> &lt;!--out of 33; includes Mega Evolutions as separate Pokémon; includes alola form as separate Pokémon; does not include Arceus--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Battle properties==<br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed.<br /> <br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Poison<br /> |weakto1=Ground<br /> |weakto2=Bug<br /> |weakto3=Psychic<br /> |resist1=Fighting<br /> |resist2=Poison<br /> |resist3=Grass<br /> |weaken1=Bug<br /> |weaken2=Grass<br /> |resisted1=Poison<br /> |resisted2=Ground<br /> |resisted3=Rock<br /> |resisted4=Ghost<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Generations II to V===<br /> In [[Generation II]], Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed by Poison-type moves.

It is adept in both blocking and inflicting various [[status condition]]s, especially {{status|poison}} and {{status|bad poison}}. Its weakness to {{t|Ground}} can be mitigated by the variety of dual-type {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}/Poison Pokémon, as well as Poison/{{t|Flying}} types and Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. Additionally, the Poison type resists itself, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Fairy}} (as of [[Generation VI]]), giving it resistances to a substantial number of common moves.<br /> <br /> Similar to {{t|Ghost}}- and {{t|Bug}}-types, Poison-types tend to hold potent status and support moves, such as {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic}}. A [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon automatically removes Toxic Spikes on its side when it switches in. Although the majority of non-Poison types are able to learn Toxic, as of [[Generation VI]], when a Poison-type uses the move, it gains perfect accuracy, bypassing accuracy checks and semi-invulnerable turns from moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dig}}.<br /> <br /> ===Offense===<br /> Poison-type moves are typically used to wear down foes by inflicting {{status|poison}} and {{status|bad poison}} to deal damage over time rather than to rely on basic damage. Prior to [[Generation VI]], Poison only hit the Grass type [[super effective]]ly, which was largely offset by the common Grass/Poison typing. Compared to Poison, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, and even {{t|Bug}} are much more useful in countering the Grass type. Aside from itself, Poison is resisted by {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Ground}} and is completely ineffective against {{t|Steel}}. (Steel is also immune to the Poison status condition.) Additionally, Poison types typically have average {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, hampering the offensive usefulness of Poison-types.<br /> <br /> However, as of [[Generation VI]], Poison is one of only two types super-effective against {{t|Fairy}}, along with {{t|Steel}}, giving Poison a key offensive role. Because of the typically low {{stat|Defense}} most Fairy types have, moves such as {{m|Poison Jab}} and {{m|Gunk Shot}} can often take them down in one hit.<br /> <br /> Poison works well alongside Dark and Ghost offensively, since these cover Ghost-types as well as Psychic-types (which Poison-types are weak against), and Poison-types commonly learn Dark moves. It also pairs well with Ground, which covers Rock, Poison and Steel-types, and Water, which covers Rock and Ground-types.<br /> <br /> ===Contest properties===<br /> In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Poison-type moves typically become {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves. None of them are considered {{OBP|Cute|condition}}.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> As of Generation VII, there are 66 Poison-type Pokémon or 8.2% of all Pokémon, making it the 8th most common type.<br /> <br /> ===Pure Poison-type Pokémon===<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #{{poison color light}}; border: 5px solid #{{poison color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |<br /> {| border=1 width=&quot;100%&quot; class=&quot;sortable&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #{{poison color light}}; border-collapse:collapse;&quot;<br /> |-style=&quot;background: #{{poison color light}};&quot;<br /> ! #<br /> !<br /> !

The information is already there, just in two separate pieces. I wouldn't push to connect the dots explicitly in a trivia point quite yet, since we don't know how many Poison-types will be introduced in Gen 6, so Gen I may no longer be the supermajority. If Gen 6 ends up introducing six or fewer Poison-types, it might be notable since Gen I would still be equal to or more than all the others combined. If Gen 6 introduces more than six, writing the trivia point so that Gens 2-5 are lumped together and 6 is arbitrarily excluded would be silly. (Even if Gen 6 does introduce six or fewer, I still don't like the idea of putting it up 'cause it'll just have to be removed when Gen 7 comes around anyway.)

Of the 18 types, Bug and Poison are the only two without any representation among Legendaries. Counting Zeraora, then Poison, Ice, Ground, and Dragon are the only ones without any Mythicals. Of these 5 types, Poison is only one without representation in ''either'' category. Surely this is something noteworthy, right?<br /> <br /> The hidden notice in the editor states that this isn't considered noteworthy because ''&quot;Several other types lack one or the other&quot;'', but in the case of Poison it lacks both, which is completely unique. I'm really curious to know the reasoning as to why this isn't worth putting in the Trivia section. DarkShinyLugia asked this in the previous thread, but it was never resolved. -[[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 06:31, 20 January 2018 (UTC)<br /> :From my perspective, it's an arbitrary point. Sure, Poison is the only type that lacks both a Legendary and a Mythical. So what? You could just as arbitrarily say (and I'm speaking in hypotheticals here) that X is the only type that lacks both a pseudo-legendary and a Totem Pokemon, or that Y is the only one that lacks both a Mega Evolution and a species-exclusive Z-Crystal. It means nothing to join together two disparate groups like that, in my opinion. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:49, 20 January 2018 (UTC)<br /> ::Makes sense, but I kind of disagree about the &quot;disparate groups&quot; part. I mean, for the longest time the two categories were considered the same, outside of Japan at least. Both groups even appear in and share the same template that's at the bottom of every Mythical/Legendary's article. It just seems disingenuous and overly pedantic to say that the two groups were chosen arbitrarily and have nothing to do with each other. -[[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 07:08, 20 January 2018 (UTC)<br /> :::I agree that with ImNotGoodAtPasswords that it's willfully ignorant to pretend like &quot;Legendary and Mythical&quot; is an arbitrary grouping.

<p>Castformrain: /* Legendary Trivia Redux */</p> <hr /> <div>== Reverting ==<br /> <br /> I'm reverting for now, as most of the changes weren't written very well and most weren't needed. The only thing I'd keep is maybe the mention of Levitate, since it has such a large effect. ''&quot;Offensively, the Poison type has a few setbacks due to poison being a really annoying status effect to have.&quot;'' doesn't even make sense. That isn't really for the place for listing what types can and can't be poisoned, and it could be done a lot better. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 00:28, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == I edited general information about Posion-types ==<br /> I don't really like Posion-types either, but it doesn't seem much objective to write &quot;one of the worst types&quot; about them. {{unsigned|Gorebyss}}<br /> <br /> == &quot;On the other hand&quot; ==<br /> Reworded the offensive/defensive sections slightly. &quot;On the other hand&quot; is used when you're comparing the pros/cons of something (e.g, &quot;Shuckle can take a serious beating; on the other hand, its damage output is too low to even be considered 'crappy'&quot;), not when you're adding support to something that's already been said.

The information is already there, just in two separate pieces. I wouldn't push to connect the dots explicitly in a trivia point quite yet, since we don't know how many Poison-types will be introduced in Gen 6, so Gen I may no longer be the supermajority. If Gen 6 ends up introducing six or fewer Poison-types, it might be notable since Gen I would still be equal to or more than all the others combined. If Gen 6 introduces more than six, writing the trivia point so that Gens 2-5 are lumped together and 6 is arbitrarily excluded would be silly. (Even if Gen 6 does introduce six or fewer, I still don't like the idea of putting it up 'cause it'll just have to be removed when Gen 7 comes around anyway.)

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{types}}<br /> The '''Poison type''' (Japanese: '''どくタイプ''' ''Poison type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Poison-type Pokémon include [[Janine]] of [[Fuchsia City]], her father [[Koga]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Roxie]] of [[Virbank City]], and [[Team Skull]] Admin [[Plumeria]]. Some [[villainous teams]], such as [[Team Rocket]], also frequently use Poison-type Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Poison-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.<br /> <br /> ==Statistical averages==<br /> ===Overall===&lt;!--as of generation 7--&gt;<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat<br /> |type=poison<br /> |HP=63.64<br /> |Attack=70.45<br /> |Defense=64.46<br /> |SpAtk=68.39<br /> |SpDef=69.06<br /> |Speed=65.19<br /> |Total=401.19 }}<br /> <br /> ===Fully evolved===&lt;!--as of generation 7--&gt;<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat<br /> |type=poison<br /> |HP=76.85<br /> |Attack=86.45<br /> |Defense=77.24<br /> |SpAtk=83.03<br /> |SpDef=86.21<br /> |Speed=80.03<br /> |Total=489.81 }}<br /> &lt;!--out of 33; includes Mega Evolutions as separate Pokémon; includes alola form as separate Pokémon; does not include Arceus--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Battle properties==<br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed.<br /> <br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Poison<br /> |weakto1=Ground<br /> |weakto2=Bug<br /> |weakto3=Psychic<br /> |resist1=Fighting<br /> |resist2=Poison<br /> |resist3=Grass<br /> |weaken1=Bug<br /> |weaken2=Grass<br /> |resisted1=Poison<br /> |resisted2=Ground<br /> |resisted3=Rock<br /> |resisted4=Ghost<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Generations II to V===<br /> In [[Generation II]], Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed by Poison-type moves. Starting in [[Generation III]], Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed.<br /> <br /> A [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon will remove {{m|Toxic Spikes}} from its side when it switches in.<br /> <br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Poison<br /> |weakto1=Ground<br /> |weakto2=Psychic<br /> |resist1=Fighting<br /> |resist2=Poison<br /> |resist3=Bug<br /> |resist4=Grass<br /> |weaken1=Grass<br /> |resisted1=Poison<br /> |resisted2=Ground<br /> |resisted3=Rock<br /> |resisted4=Ghost<br /> |noeffect1=Steel<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VI onwards===<br /> Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed, except by a Pokémon with {{a|Corrosion}}.<br /> <br /> A [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon will remove {{m|Toxic Spikes}} from its side when it switches in.<br /> <br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Poison<br /> |weakto1=Ground<br /> |weakto2=Psychic<br /> |resist1=Fighting<br /> |resist2=Poison<br /> |resist3=Bug<br /> |resist4=Grass<br /> |resist5=Fairy<br /> |weaken1=Fairy<br /> |weaken2=Grass<br /> |resisted1=Poison<br /> |resisted2=Ground<br /> |resisted3=Rock<br /> |resisted4=Ghost<br /> |noeffect1=Steel<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> ===Defense===<br /> Defensively, the Poison type is considered one of the best in the game. It is adept in both blocking and inflicting various [[status condition]]s, especially {{status|poison}} and {{status|bad poison}}. Its weakness to {{t|Ground}} can be mitigated by the variety of dual-type {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}/Poison Pokémon, as well as Poison/{{t|Flying}} types and Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. Additionally, the Poison type resists itself, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Fairy}} (as of [[Generation VI]]), giving it resistances to a substantial number of common moves.<br /> <br /> Similar to {{t|Ghost}}- and {{t|Bug}}-types, Poison-types tend to hold potent status and support moves, such as {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic}}. A [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon automatically removes Toxic Spikes on its side when it switches in. Although the majority of non-Poison types are able to learn Toxic, as of [[Generation VI]], when a Poison-type uses the move, it gains perfect accuracy, bypassing accuracy checks and semi-invulnerable turns from moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dig}}.<br /> <br /> ===Offense===<br /> Poison-type moves are typically used to wear down foes by inflicting {{status|poison}} and {{status|bad poison}} to deal damage over time rather than to rely on basic damage. Prior to [[Generation VI]], Poison only hit the Grass type [[super effective]]ly, which was largely offset by the common Grass/Poison typing. Compared to Poison, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, and even {{t|Bug}} are much more useful in countering the Grass type. Aside from itself, Poison is resisted by {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Ground}} and is completely ineffective against {{t|Steel}}. (Steel is also immune to the Poison status condition.) Additionally, Poison types typically have average {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, hampering the offensive usefulness of Poison-types.<br /> <br /> However, as of [[Generation VI]], Poison is one of only two types super-effective against {{t|Fairy}}, along with {{t|Steel}}, giving Poison a key offensive role. Because of the typically low {{stat|Defense}} most Fairy types have, moves such as {{m|Poison Jab}} and {{m|Gunk Shot}} can often take them down in one hit.<br /> <br /> Poison works well alongside Dark and Ghost offensively, since these cover Ghost-types as well as Psychic-types (which Poison-types are weak against), and Poison-types commonly learn Dark moves. It also pairs well with Ground, which covers Rock, Poison and Steel-types, and Water, which covers Rock and Ground-types.<br /> <br /> ===Contest properties===<br /> In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Poison-type moves typically become {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves. None of them are considered {{OBP|Cute|condition}}.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> As of Generation VII, there are 66 Poison-type Pokémon or 8.2% of all Pokémon, making it the 8th most common type.<br /> <br /> ===Pure Poison-type Pokémon===<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #{{poison color light}}; border: 5px solid #{{poison color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |<br /> {| border=1 width=&quot;100%&quot; class=&quot;sortable&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #{{poison color light}}; border-collapse:collapse;&quot;<br /> |-style=&quot;background: #{{poison color light}};&quot;<br /> ! #<br /> !<br /> !

It is a bipedal, humanoid creature with some feline features. It is primarily gray with a long, purple tail. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base, but thins before ending in a small bulb.<br /> <br /> Mega Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from V-shaped ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its torso is smooth and small compared to its long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connects the collar and underbelly. Its forearms and thighs each have two raised ridges, and its digits are now longer and thinner. The tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip.<br /> <br /> In comparison, Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail. On its head it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to base of each and crossing over the top of its head, with empty space inside. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous, and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two.<br /> <br /> Mewtwo was created after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments based on {{p|Mew}}. It is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lack compassion, and strike fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. In the first movie, {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} exemplified these vicious characteristics and was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy and mind control. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} in the anime shared its aversion to contact with others, but was much less belligerent. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. It is also capable of materializing psychic waves in the form of its [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}. Though {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} in the wild, it is said to be resting in a dark cave somewhere.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> According to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|scientific logs]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where [[Mr. Fuji|a scientist]] performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], accessible only after a Trainer has proven his or her skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===In the main series===<br /> [[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|220px|left|Mewtwo in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br /> [[File:Mega Mewtwo X anime.png|thumb|220px|right|Mega Mewtwo X in the anime]]<br /> [[File:Mega Mewtwo Y anime.png|thumb|220px|right|Mega Mewtwo Y in the anime]]<br /> ====Major appearances====<br /> =====[[Mewtwo (original series)]]=====<br /> While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of a {{pkmn|movie}} and a special, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to battle [[Gary's Arcanine]] and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie. Mewtwo made further appearances during the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi Wish Maker]]'' standing on a rooftop wearing a cape, and in the intro of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', chasing a {{p|Mew}}.<br /> <br /> =====[[Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)]]=====<br /> Another Mewtwo and the [[Mega Evolution]] Mega Mewtwo Y debuted in the special episode ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', a prologue to ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. In the special, Mewtwo escaped from [[Mewtwo's creators|its creators]] and fought against a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] named [[Dirk]], while [[Virgil]] helped protect it.<br /> <br /> It reappeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' as both its normal form and Mega Mewtwo Y. At the beginning of the film, Mewtwo encountered the [[Genesect Army]], who were looking for their home after being recreated. After a short conflict, the Army departed, and Mewtwo followed them to [[New Tork City]]. It met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, then got into a great conflict with the Red Genesect leading the Army.<br /> <br /> =====Other=====<br /> A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].<br /> <br /> Both Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y appeared in the credits of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Minor appearances====<br /> Two Mewtwo appeared in the introduction to ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', one as Mega Mewtwo X and one as Mega Mewtwo Y.<br /> A picture resembling Mewtwo appeared on the lighthouse door in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]].''<br /> <br /> ====Pokédex entries====<br /> {{Animedexheader|Kanto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP063|Mewtwo|Gary's Pokédex|Pokémon unknown.

After finding out about its existence from {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} entered [[Cerulean Cave]] in order to add Mewtwo's data to the [[Pokédex]]. In a fierce battle that wiped out almost all of Red's Pokémon, Mewtwo was finally defeated by [[Red's Charizard]] after it Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X. Red then proceeded to capture Mewtwo, making his collection of the 150 known Pokémon complete.<br /> {{left clear}}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:Mega Mewtwo Y Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo Y in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br /> [[File:Mewtwo Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br /> [[File:Mega Mewtwo X Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Mega Mewtwo X in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br /> ===In the movie adaptations===<br /> {{main|Mewtwo (original series)}}<br /> {{main|Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)}}<br /> Two different Mewtwo appear in the {{ma|Mewtwo Strikes Back!|manga}} {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|adaptations}} of the [[M01|first]] and [[M16|sixteenth]] [[Pokémon movie]]s.<br /> <br /> ===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br /> During the {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|10|final volume}} of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, but is trapped by Mewtwo.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> {{main|Mewtwo (Adventures)}}<br /> Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It was created by Team Rocket scientist [[Blaine]] in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', who added his own human DNA to Mewtwo to finish its creation when Mew's cells weren't enough. It was fully completed by the time of ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]''. Together, {{adv|Red}} and Blaine battled with Mewtwo, which eventually ended in its capture via [[Master Ball]] in ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]''. It appeared again in the {{chap|X &amp; Y}}, where it was seen sitting inside the {{kal|Unknown Dungeon}} in [[Pokémon Village]]. It soon engaged in a battle against [[Lysandre]]'s Pokémon and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y. It was soon revealed that Mewtwo and Blaine had reunited, with their unique bond even allowing Mewtwo to Mega Evolve again into Mega Mewtwo X after switching its Mega Stone.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All! manga===<br /> [[Shu's father]] has a Mewtwo.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br /> Mewtwo made its first appearance in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga and debuted in ''[[PM002|Big Battle In The Viridian Forest!!]]''<br /> <br /> {{main|Blue's Mewtwo}}<br /> Mewtwo is a Pokémon created by {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} in ''[[PM025|Bring Down the Strongest Pokémon!!]]''.

All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.<br /> * Mewtwo comes before {{p|Mew}} in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.<br /> * Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].<br /> * Mewtwo is tied with Mew for the most anime opening appearances of any Legendary Pokémon, with seven in Japan.<br /> * Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientists|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the anime. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in Viridian Gym, despite being a public area.<br /> * The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.<br /> * Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.<br /> * Mega Mewtwo Y was the first [[Mega Evolution]] revealed to the public and the first to appear in the anime, even before Mega Evolution was announced.<br /> ** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.&lt;ref&gt;[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクト ミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]&lt;/ref&gt; This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.<br /> * Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with {{me|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780.<br /> ** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.<br /> *** Mega Mewtwo X's Attack increase is the largest single stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, at 80 points.<br /> ** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon and the highest single base stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.<br /> * Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} are currently the only Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions.<br /> <br /> ===Origin===<br /> Like {{p|Mew}}, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|gene splicing}}. Mewtwo also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.<br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Mewtwo is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' (the Pokémon it originated from) and ''two'' (indicating that it is a clone).

It has narrow eyes and rounded ears. On its head is a short, triangular crest. Dark blue hair grows across the tops of its eyes, around the head crest, and extends down its back to form a long ponytail. The upper half of its body is cream-colored, while the lower half is dark blue. Yellow extensions encircle its waist, resembling a skirt. There is a small, orange half-circle marking in the center of its torso just above the skirt. Hariyama has large hands with three fingers and small, two-toed feet. Both its hands and feet are orange.<br /> <br /> Hariyama's body consists mostly of muscle instead of fat. When its body tenses, its muscles become as hard as stone. It likes to match power with other big-bodied Pokémon, and can stomp the ground to build its own power. Trucks can be sent flying, telephone poles broken in two, and trains can even be stopped by its powerful arms. Its [[signature move]] is {{m|Smelling Salts}}, and {{m|Arm Thrust}} is a former signature move. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas.}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Harvest Island Hariyama.png|thumb|250px|left|Hariyama in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> ====[[Brawly's Hariyama]]====<br /> Hariyama first appeared in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''.

Is that true? I've seen screenshots, and she still seems female. [[User:Dia Sprite|Dia Sprite]] 06:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Alakazam's VA ==<br /> <br /> In her debut episode, Anabel is first seen with an {{p|Alakazam}}. However, I think that there is a mistake regarding Alakazam's voice actor. Maddie Blaustein's voice is last heard in the AG series episode ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', ''twenty-four'' episodes earlier. Unless this was recorded while she was still alive, I think that Alakazam's English voice actor should be changed.

It's not even certain that the original games were in a separate universe. [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 04:05, 4 December 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> All of the old games' Battle Tree contenders use their original themes. Even Cynthia, who (like Anabel) has already had revamped versions of her theme in the past. So I wouldn't consider that to be evidence that SM's Anabel came from the original games' universe. A more compelling point might be that Looker says she used to protect a tower (obviously implied to be the Battle Tower), which doesn't exist yet in ORAS... but we're not sure of the timeline between SM and ORAS, so it's fully possible that construction of ORAS's Battle Tower was completed before the events of Sun and Moon.<br /> <br /> == Page title ==<br /> <br /> Since Anabel now appears in a context very much separate from the Battle Frontier, is it still appropriate to keep her Trainer class in the page title? (For that matter, is it appropriate to have the Trainer classes in ''any'' of the Frontier Brains' page titles? We don't use Trainer classes for virtually any other characters' page titles.)

In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, but Ghetsis seizes the opportunity to fuse the Tao dragon with Kyurem using the [[DNA Splicers]] to create Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. The player defeats Kyurem and Ghetsis, restoring balance to the region.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two. Also, do not add Poison being the only type without a legendary Pokémon, there is also no Bug type legendary Pokémon, since Genesect is now a mythical Pokémon.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * There has never been a Poison-Type Legendary or Mythical Pokémon (apart from Arceus holding a Toxic Plate).<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:2016 Mythical Pokémon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> '''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} seen so rarely in the [[Pokémon world]] that some question their very existence. This category mostly consists of [[event Pokémon]], with the exception of Deoxys. Mythical Pokémon were considered to be [[Legendary Pokémon]] prior to Generation V in non-Japanese media, but are now considered a separate, related group of Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Mythical Pokémon==<br /> Mythical Pokémon are regarded as among the rarest in [[Pokémon world]] mythology. Some are seemingly unknown to most people, while others are thought of as stuff of legends. They typically receive minimum exposure during normal gameplay, usually being revealed to players months or years after the debut of their respective [[generation]]. Upon being revealed, they are celebrated across the numerous media, often starring in {{pkmn|movie}}s and being featured prominently in {{pkmn|merchandise}}.<br /> <br /> With the exception of {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained in the [[core series]] games in the course of normal gameplay. They can only be obtained by [[Mystery Gift]] (either directly, or using an [[event item]]). They are distributed to players via [[Mystery Gift]] on special occasions such as screenings of Pokémon movies, events in retail stores, online distributions, [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] that feature special connectivity and the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]].<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of every Mythical Pokémon is unknown. Mythical Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} can be bred with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}} {{pkmn|Egg}}s.<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} is the exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.<br /> <br /> No Mythical Pokémon is required to complete the [[Pokédex]] for the [[Diploma]], except in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which require the player to obtain {{p|Deoxys}} to complete the [[National Pokédex]] Diploma due to it being available as part of the [[Delta Episode]].<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms and Mega Evolutions as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only}}===<br /> {|<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align: top&quot;<br /> |<br /> ''Including Phione:''<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=81.39 |<br /> Attack=109.78 |<br /> Defense=92.91 |<br /> SpAtk=118.00 |<br /> SpDef=99.35 |<br /> Speed=105.52 |<br /> Total=606.96 }}<br /> |<br /> ''Excluding Phione:''<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=81.45 |<br /> Attack=111.14 |<br /> Defense=93.50 |<br /> SpAtk=119.73 |<br /> SpDef=100.23 |<br /> Speed=106.68 |<br /> Total=612.73 }}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Mythical 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. {{si|Tobias}} is the only Trainer seen to own a Mythical Pokémon in the anime, using the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}} in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].<br /> <br /> ==List of Mythical Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 16 are Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(16/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Including Phione, there are 17 Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(17/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Mythical Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation I]].<br /> <br /> ====Mew====<br /> [[File:20th Anniversary Mew.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of {{p|Mew}} from the {{pkmn|20th Anniversary}}]]<br /> {{p|Mew}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It is believed to contain the genetic codes of all Pokémon in its DNA. Initially thought to be extinct, a {{ka|Pokémon Mansion|scientific team}} has reported sightings of it in [[Guyana]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} was created after a series of experiments based on Mew, and is thus considered to be part of a [[Legendary duo]] with it.<br /> <br /> Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Its base stat total of 600 and stat distribution of 100 to each stat also created a trend followed by several Mythical Pokémon released later in the series. Pokémon following this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Land Forme]] {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.<br /> <br /> Designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]], it was initially unavailable and unknown to players, before being revealed by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] in the spring of 1996 in an issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Initially, a lottery was held to distribute the Pokémon experimentally to a limited number of players, and a [[Mew (Wizards Promo 47)|promotional card]] was included in the January issue of CoroCoro. Supposed [[Easter egg#Truck|methods]] of obtaining Mew, passed on through word-of-mouth, contributed to the success of the Pokémon series. Its success was mirrored in the west with the eventual release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, making Mew a prominent character of the first generation, co-starring in the first animated movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation II]].<br /> <br /> ====Celebi====<br /> [[File:M13 Celebi distribution artwork.png|thumb|left|200px|Obtaining {{p|Celebi}} on a [[Nintendo DS Lite]] via [[Mystery Gift]]]]<br /> {{p|Celebi}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Grass}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is referred to as the guardian of forests, protecting and nourishing them as it travels through time.<br /> <br /> Celebi shares a special connection with the [[Ilex Forest]] in [[Johto]] and the [[Agate Village]]'s {{DL|Agate Village|Relic Forest}} in [[Orre]], having the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] and the [[Relic Stone]] as monuments to honor it in those areas.<br /> <br /> Introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released. Created by [[Ken Sugimori]], it was dubbed the &quot;New Mew&quot; soon after being revealed because of its similar size and stats with Mew, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. It first became available in Nintendo Space World 2000 in Japan, with numerous other events coming in the following years worldwide.<br /> <br /> Celebi was the first Mythical Pokémon to obtain an in-game event in {{game|Crystal}}, through the [[GS Ball]] [[Key Item]], which was distributed over [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]].<br /> <br /> It starred in the fourth Pokémon movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', and appeared again with a central role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Two Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].<br /> <br /> ====Jirachi====<br /> [[File:Jirachi Encounter.png|thumb|240px|Encountering {{p|Jirachi}}]]<br /> {{p|Jirachi}} is a {{2t|Steel|Psychic}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said to able to grant any wishes written on the tags on its head once awake. It only wakes up for seven days once every thousand years. If in danger, it will fight without waking up.<br /> <br /> Jirachi was introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and it, like Mew and Celebi, is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon with 100 for each [[base stat]]. It was revealed in 2003 in the context of the sixth movie, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it starred. It first became available in Japan to players who pre-ordered tickets to the movie, with other limited distribution events following throughout the year. Its distribution in the west was altered, as it was included in the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in the United States and in [[Pokémon Channel]] in Europe and Australia. Unlike its predecessors, Jirachi does not have an extensive story or event in the core games, with its lore limited to a few indirect [[Mossdeep City|references]].<br /> <br /> Jirachi is heavily connected to the real-world Japanese festival of {{wp|Tanabata}}, with several [[List of Tanabata event Pokémon|distributions]] occurring in celebration of the event.<br /> <br /> ====Deoxys====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Deoxys mission art.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Deoxys}} surrounded by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s]]<br /> {{p|Deoxys}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It mutated from a space virus when exposed to a laser beam. It is able to change its form, altering its appearance and traits. The crystal on its chests acts as its brain, as well as a defense mechanism.<br /> <br /> Although it retained a base stat total of 600, Deoxys was the first Mythical Pokémon to have a base stat distribution other than 100 in every stat. Additionally, Deoxys introduced the concept of [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Formes]] which altered the distribution of stats.<br /> <br /> In spite of being included in the preceding games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Deoxys was first made available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Officially revealed in late 2003 as a leading character in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', players were first able to capture Deoxys by use of the {{DL|Event item|Aurora Ticket}}, which provided access to Birth Island, where it appears in-game.<br /> <br /> While Deoxys originally had little impact on the story of [[Generation III]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} introduced the [[Delta Episode]], a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in which the player must stop a meteor from hitting the planet by destroying it with a befriended {{p|Rayquaza}}, revealing a Deoxys within. This marked the first, and so far, the only time when a Mythical Pokémon was available in-game without the need to attend an event or use a download code.<br /> <br /> Contrary to its classification in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/info/Pokemon_Characters PokémonCenter.com] notably calls Deoxys a Legendary Pokémon rather than a Mythical Pokémon, creating some confusion over its official designation.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]] (five including {{p|Phione}}).<br /> <br /> ====Manaphy and Phione====<br /> [[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|200px|right|Artwork of {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]<br /> {{p|Manaphy}} is a {{type|Water}} Mythical Pokémon, and {{p|Phione}} is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Manaphy are born on cold seafloors, also swimming great distances to return to their birthplace, and are born with a wondrous power to bond with any kind of Pokémon. Phione live in warm seas, using the inflation sac on their heads to search for food and to drift in packs, always returning to the place of their birth. Together, these two Pokémon species make up a Mythical duo of a parent and child.<br /> <br /> Manaphy and Phione have the unique ability among Mythical Pokémon to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with {{p|Ditto}} in captivity to produce Phione. Phione, cannot, however, [[evolution|evolve]] into Manaphy. The only legitimate way to obtain a Phione in-game is to breed a Manaphy or another Phione. Phione is the weaker of the two Pokémon, having 80 distributed into each stat instead of 100.<br /> <br /> Phione's status as a Mythical Pokémon is disputed, with even official sources contradicting one another. Further information can be found [[Phione (Pokémon)#Mythical status|here]].<br /> <br /> Manaphy was first made available to those who pre-ordered tickets for ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' in Japan. Anyone who pre-ordered tickets received a voucher which could be redeemed from June 17 to August 31, 2006 to access {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s [[Ranger Net]] mission, &quot;Recover the Precious Egg!&quot;. Once completed, a Manaphy Egg could be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and hatched. This mission was later made available to other areas of the world, and Manaphy has since been released through distribution as most other Mythical Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Darkrai====<br /> [[File:Darkrai Newmoon Island.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]<br /> {{p|Darkrai}} is a {{type|Dark}} Mythical Pokémon. It chases people and Pokémon away from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers. However, it is merely protecting itself, and means no harm. It is particularly active on moonless nights.<br /> <br /> Darkrai is heavily connected with the status condition of {{status|Sleep}}, as reflected by its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Bad Dreams}}, and its [[signature move]] {{m|Dark Void}}. It is also capable of learning the move {{m|Nightmare}} to inflict additional damage to sleeping opponents.<br /> <br /> Darkrai has appeared with an antagonistic role in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], specifically as an enemy of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Cresselia}}. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and {{game|Platinum}}, the player must also cure {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare using a [[Lunar Wing]] from Cresselia. The two Pokémon's relationship is further cemented in the anime episode ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which Cresselia is revealed to actively drive Darkrai away from [[Canalave City]]. Collectively, the two Pokémon are known by a fan designator, the {{DL|Legendary duo|lunar duo}}.<br /> <br /> Darkrai was officially revealed February 2007, and was first made available to those who owned Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and watched ''[[M10|Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai]]'' in Japan from release to September 9, 2007. Other distributions were made available afterwards. Notably, in {{game|Platinum}}, an event gave the [[Member Card]] to players over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], activating an in-game event which allowed for capture of Darkrai on [[Newmoon Island]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Shaymin====<br /> [[File:Shaymin Gracideas.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Shaymin}} in a field of [[Gracidea]] flowers]]<br /> {{p|Shaymin}} is a {{type|Grass}} Mythical Pokémon. Shaymin live in flower patches and avoid detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant. Shaymin are able to dissolve toxins in the air to transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. When sensing gratitude, the flowers all over its body burst into bloom.<br /> <br /> When exposed to the blooming [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] during the daytime, Shaymin becomes Sky Forme Shaymin. Sky Forme has altered stats from its original Land Forme and takes on the {{t|Flying}} type as a secondary type. Shaymin will revert into its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}}, or when deposited into the [[Pokémon Storage System]].<br /> <br /> Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008 as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and in early June 2008, its Sky Forme was revealed. Shaymin was first made available to owners of Pokémon {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} during the theatrical showing of the movie in Japan from July 19 to September 30, 2008. Other distributions were later made available, but a notable distribution occurred for North American and PAL players from September 28 to November 8, 2009 through distribution of the [[List of Key Items in Generation IV|Key Item]] [[Oak's Letter]]. This item allowed players to access [[Seabreak Path]] and capture a Shaymin in [[Flower Paradise]].<br /> <br /> ====Arceus====<br /> [[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Arceus}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]<br /> {{p|Arceus}} is a {{type|Normal}} Mythical Pokémon. According to mythology, Arceus emerged from an Egg before the universe even existed, then shaped the world with its 1,000 arms.<br /> <br /> Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. According to legend, Arceus also created two [[Legendary trio]]s. First, it created the [[creation trio]]: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, to balance time, space, and antimatter. Then, it created the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, and created spirit, and has since been residing in the [[Hall of Origin]], which will connect to [[Spear Pillar]] when the Azure Flute is played there. As their creator, it is both trios' [[trio master]]. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be the master of two.<br /> <br /> Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the &quot;Original One&quot;. Both [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] and the [[Plate]]s scattered across Sinnoh describe Arceus' creation of the universe. It receives more exposure in-game than Mythical Pokémon traditionally find.<br /> <br /> Arceus' [[signature Ability]], {{a|Multitype}}, allows it to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|change its form]] and [[type]] depending on which plate it [[held item|holds]]. This will also change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}.<br /> <br /> Arceus was officially revealed on February 14, 2009, and first made available to players on July 18 of that year, the day when ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' premiered in Japan. Arceus was revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]].<br /> <br /> ====Victini====<br /> [[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Victini}} on [[Liberty Garden]]]]<br /> {{p|Victini}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said that this Pokémon brings victory, and that trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter. It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it. When it shares the energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power.<br /> <br /> Victini is notable for appearing before the starter Pokémon of its [[Generation V|debut generation]], giving it the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex number]] #000, a first in the Pokémon series.<br /> <br /> Victini was revealed in a preview for [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]] which was shown at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. It was made available in-game by use of the [[Liberty Pass]], an [[event item]] which was distributed across varying time periods worldwide. The Liberty Pass allowed players to travel to [[Liberty Garden]]. Once there, the player would be challenged by members of [[Team Plasma]], and could find Victini in the basement of the lighthouse.<br /> {{left clear}}<br /> <br /> ====Keldeo====<br /> [[File:Keldeo event art.png|thumb|200px|left|Artwork of {{p|Keldeo}}'s Ordinary Form]]<br /> {{p|Keldeo}} is a {{2t|Water|Fighting}}-type Mythical Pokémon and the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]].

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{types}}<br /> The '''Poison type''' (Japanese: '''どくタイプ''' ''Poison type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Poison-type Pokémon include [[Janine]] of [[Fuchsia City]], her father [[Koga]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], and [[Roxie]] of [[Virbank City]]. Some [[villainous teams]], such as [[Team Rocket]], also frequently use Poison-type Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Poison-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.<br /> <br /> ==Statistical averages==<br /> ===Overall===&lt;!--as of generation 6--&gt;<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> type=poison|<br /> HP=62.60 |<br /> Attack=70.79 |<br /> Defense=63.74 |<br /> SpAtk=67.89 |<br /> SpDef=67.42 |<br /> Speed=65.26 |<br /> Total=397.69 }}<br /> <br /> ===Fully evolved===&lt;!--as of generation 6--&gt;<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> type=poison|<br /> HP=76.00 |<br /> Attack=88.21 |<br /> Defense=76.03 |<br /> SpAtk=82.21 |<br /> SpDef=82.83 |<br /> Speed=80.55 |<br /> Total=485.83 }}<br /> &lt;!--out of 29; includes Mega Evolutions as separate Pokémon; does not include Arceus--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Battle properties==<br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed.<br /> <br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Poison<br /> |weakto1=Ground<br /> |weakto2=Bug<br /> |weakto3=Psychic<br /> |resist1=Fighting<br /> |resist2=Poison<br /> |resist3=Grass<br /> |weaken1=Bug<br /> |weaken2=Grass<br /> |resisted1=Poison<br /> |resisted2=Ground<br /> |resisted3=Rock<br /> |resisted4=Ghost<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Generations II to V===<br /> In [[Generation II]], Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed by Poison-type moves. Starting in [[Generation III]], Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed.<br /> <br /> A [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon will remove {{m|Toxic Spikes}} from its side when it switches in.<br /> <br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Poison<br /> |weakto1=Ground<br /> |weakto2=Psychic<br /> |resist1=Fighting<br /> |resist2=Poison<br /> |resist3=Bug<br /> |resist4=Grass<br /> |weaken1=Grass<br /> |resisted1=Poison<br /> |resisted2=Ground<br /> |resisted3=Rock<br /> |resisted4=Ghost<br /> |noeffect1=Steel<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VI onwards===<br /> Poison-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|poison}}ed.<br /> <br /> A [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon will remove {{m|Toxic Spikes}} from its side when it switches in.<br /> <br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Poison<br /> |weakto1=Ground<br /> |weakto2=Psychic<br /> |resist1=Fighting<br /> |resist2=Poison<br /> |resist3=Bug<br /> |resist4=Grass<br /> |resist5=Fairy<br /> |weaken1=Fairy<br /> |weaken2=Grass<br /> |resisted1=Poison<br /> |resisted2=Ground<br /> |resisted3=Rock<br /> |resisted4=Ghost<br /> |noeffect1=Steel<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> ===Defense===<br /> Defensively, the Poison type is considered one of the best in the game. It is adept in both blocking and inflicting various [[status condition]]s, especially {{status|poison}} and {{status|bad poison}}. Its weakness to {{t|Ground}} can be mitigated by the variety of dual-type {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}/Poison Pokémon, as well as Poison/{{t|Flying}} types and Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}. Additionally, the Poison type resists itself, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Fairy}} (as of [[Generation VI]]), giving it resistances to a substantial number of common moves.<br /> <br /> Similar to {{t|Ghost}}- and {{t|Bug}}-types, Poison-types tend to hold potent status and support moves, such as {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic}}. A [[grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon automatically removes Toxic Spikes on its side when it switches in. Although the majority of non-Poison types are able to learn Toxic, as of [[Generation VI]], when a Poison-type uses the move, it gains perfect accuracy, bypassing accuracy checks and semi-invulnerable turns from moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dig}}.<br /> <br /> ===Offense===<br /> Poison-type moves are typically used to harass foes by inflicting {{status|poison}} and {{status|bad poison}} to deal damage over time rather than to rely on basic damage. Prior to [[Generation VI]], Poison only hit the Grass type {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}}ly, which was largely offset by the common Grass/Poison typing. Compared to Poison, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, and even {{t|Bug}} are much more useful in countering the Grass type. Aside from itself, Poison is resisted by {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Ground}} and is completely ineffective against {{t|Steel}}. (Steel is also immune to the Poison status condition.) Additionally, Poison types typically have average {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, hampering the offensive usefulness of Poison-types.<br /> <br /> However, as of [[Generation VI]], Poison is one of only two types super-effective against {{t|Fairy}}, along with {{t|Steel}}, giving Poison a key offensive role. Because of the typically low {{stat|Defense}} most Fairy types have, moves such as {{m|Poison Jab}} and {{m|Gunk Shot}} can often take them down in one hit.<br /> <br /> ===Contest properties===<br /> In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Poison-type moves typically become {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves. None of them are considered {{OBP|Cute|condition}}.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> As of Generation VI, there are 59 Poison-type Pokémon or 8.2% of all Pokémon, making it the 8th most common type, tied with {{t|Fire}}.<br /> <br /> ===Pure Poison-type Pokémon===<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #{{poison color light}}; border: 5px solid #{{poison color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |<br /> {| border=1 width=&quot;100%&quot; class=&quot;sortable&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #{{poison color light}}; border-collapse:collapse;&quot;<br /> |-style=&quot;background: #{{poison color light}};&quot;<br /> ! #<br /> !<br /> !

Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * There has never been a Poison-Type Legendary Pokémon (apart from {{p|Arceus}} holding a Toxic Plate).<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

For instance, &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;It appeared in the {{chap|X &amp; Y}}&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;, which comes out as &quot;It appeared in the {{chap|X &amp; Y}}&quot; is perfectly fine.

However, just a quick note to make: you do not need to add italics when using the {{template|chap}} template as it is already embedded in the template. Simply use it as is. For instance, &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;It appeared in the {{chap|X &amp; Y}}&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;, which comes out as &quot;It appeared in the {{chap|X &amp; Y}}&quot; is perfectly fine.

Castformrain https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Villainous_team&diff=2519801 2016-10-17T11:19:35Z

<p>Castformrain: Edited it so the names of the leaders at the end of the paragraph would actually correspond &quot;respectively&quot; with the teams, which was not the case before.</p> <hr /> <div>{{incomplete|needs=This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.}}<br /> '''Villainous teams''' (English: '''Team ~'''; Japanese: '''{{j|～団}}''' ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal terrorist organizations}} which form the core of the storyline of [[Pokémon games]]. There are six in the [[core series]] as of [[Generation VI]]: [[Team Rocket]], found in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]] and the remakes of both generations; [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], found in the [[Generation III]] [[Hoenn]] games and their remakes; [[Team Galactic]], found in the [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]] games; [[Team Plasma]] of the [[Generation V]] games; [[Team Flare]] of the [[Generation VI]] games; and finally, [[Team Skull]] of the [[Generation VII]] games. Two additional villainous teams have appeared in the [[side series]] games, namely [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. Several additional villainous teams are exclusive to various spin-off games. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing they all have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br /> <br /> ==Comparisons==<br /> While [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), the other known villainous teams Team Aqua, Team Magma, as well as Team Plasma have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. The leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}; likewise, the leader of Team Flare seeks to make a beautiful world in his image by using the power of {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to destroy everyone except Team Flare. Team's Skull's intentions are currently unknown, though they have a history of disrupting [[island challenge]] events. Cipher and Team Snagem work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]] (later missing), [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], [[Guzma]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]] respectively.<br /> <br /> Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], including running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering [[Marowak (ghost)|at least one Pokémon]]. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue unhindered, as if they were above the law.<br /> <br /> By [[Generation II]], they have lost most of their power and attempted to re-group in the [[Johto]] region. They initially managed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], only to be defeated by the [[player character|player]], forcing [[Team Rocket]] to disband yet again. &lt;!--(Analysis?)--&gt;<br /> <br /> In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s crimes are more extreme, including stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.<br /> <br /> Like Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Team Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foils them.<br /> <br /> [[Team Plasma]] appears to work in a more mysterious attitude, especially their leader, [[N]]. Their goal is, seemingly, unlike the other villainous teams, not abusing Pokémon, but separating humans and Pokémon, comparing Pokémon under a Trainer's command to slaves. (They believe that liberation will actually ''help'' the Pokémon.) However much of this is revealed to be a ruse by the true leader of the team, Ghetsis, who's using the 'liberation' propaganda to, effectively, trick the entire Unova region into disarming themselves and thus allowing him, through Team Plasma, to dominate the entire region.<br /> <br /> [[Team Flare]] appears to own multiple facilities, such as the [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]] and [[Team Flare Secret HQ|a secret underground headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]]. Many grunts initially claim that they want to make the world fashionable, but they raid multiple areas such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] for their true goals, which are to destroy everyone except Team Flare. They unleash the [[ultimate weapon]] created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years ago, and also capture {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to hope to power up the weapon, only for the player character to capture them and defeat Lysandre, leading to the team's downfall.<br /> <br /> The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.<br /> <br /> ==Core series==<br /> ===[[Team Rocket]]===<br /> [[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket Grunts]]<br /> Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red &quot;R&quot; as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling Fossils. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in Saffron City. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.<br /> <br /> Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the Sevii Islands until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.<br /> <br /> For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the Johto region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off Slowpoke tails and selling them at outrageous prices).<br /> <br /> As the [[Johto]] Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the Magikarp at the Lake of Rage, causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by Lance, Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide and contact their leader, Giovanni.<br /> <br /> Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and come back to lead. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Meanwhile, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fights Giovanni while the other watches the fight. He then vanishes after the fight and Ethan and Lyra return to their time.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> {{incomplete|section|other manga}}<br /> =====Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.<br /> <br /> This canon's depiction of Gym Leaders is different from that of the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant. In the {{chap|Red, Green &amp; Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga.<br /> <br /> For a short time, [[Blaine]] too worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket affiliated at some point in their life.<br /> <br /> As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket.<br /> <br /> In the {{chap|FireRed &amp; LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling as Rockets, those being [[Orm]] and [[Sird]], while the other, [[Carr]], goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it. It is unclear what Team Rocket's fate are at the end of this arc, but with the members in disarray, it is most likely that it dissolved.<br /> <br /> In the {{chap|HeartGold &amp; SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that Carr had taken over Team Rocket and gathered the remaining troops together. His reign of power comes to an abrupt end, however, as the organization is then taken over by the four {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, who intend to gather all the [[Plate]]s and use them to control {{p|Arceus}}. With the unknowing help of Gold, Crys, and Silver, the Rocket Executives manage to enter the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], where Arceus recreates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, which [[Archer]] intends to be an invincible army for Giovanni. However, when Giovanni arrives with [[Lance]] and Pryce, it is revealed that the battle of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] would cause the destruction of both Johto and Sinnoh, as foreseen by Pryce when he was trapped in the time stream. Thanks to Gold opening up to [[Togebo]], Arceus soon calms down the Legendary Pokémon, sending them back to their respective realms. As a reward of his good deed, Celebi then cures Giovanni of his long-time illness, allowing him to return to lead Team Rocket and its rebuilding. Silver still doesn't approve his father's criminal life, intending to stop Team Rocket and convince his father of the error of his ways one day by himself.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Aqua]]===<br /> [[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Aqua Grunts]]<br /> They wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits. They have a skull-and-bones-like &quot;A&quot; as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> Team Aqua is led by [[Archie]]. They attempt to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}} and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], but help the player defeat team Magma in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]].<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> <br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> =====Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> Team Aqua is led by [[Archie]]. Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Kyogre}} and increase the sea in the Hoenn region.<br /> There are three Executives, known as the SSS of Team Aqua, which can be considered a parallel not only to the Three Fires of Team Magma, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one member of the SSS of Team Aqua went his own way, but rather than leaving Team Aqua, it was rejoining after being kicked out.<br /> <br /> Team Aqua and Team Magma are presented more individually in Adventures than in any other medium. Team Aqua seem to have more influence, with Archie holding the position of News Director, but they don't seem to be as well equipped, as shown by the fact that they had no idea what the Orbs were until Amber spied on Team Magma.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Magma]]===<br /> [[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Magma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Magma Grunts]]<br /> They wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp. They have a stylized &quot;M&quot;, appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> They are led by [[Maxie]]. In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]]), their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a {{key|III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Groudon}}, and the weather Pokémon, {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Colored orbs|Blue Orb]]. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built, and travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Blue Orb to awaken Groudon.<br /> <br /> In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]]), they help the player defeat Team Aqua.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> =====Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> Team Magma is led by [[Maxie]].<br /> Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Groudon}} and increase the landmass in the Hoenn region.<br /> <br /> There are three Executives, known as the Three Fires of Team Magma, which can be considered a parallel not only to the SSS of Team Aqua, but also the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one of the Three Fires of Team Magma goes her own way, in this example, it is Marge, who decides to help {{adv|Ruby}} stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} rather than further the cause of Groudon, as the Team's principal aim is. The Three Fires of Team Magma are more distinct from each other than the SSS of Team Aqua, because they all have an individual way of using fire. Marge's is the most straight forward, she simply aims to burn things, Mitch uses smoke to hide his movements and Mack uses heat to cause his victims to hallucinate, oddly, he seems to be able to control these hallucinations.<br /> <br /> Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a [[Legendary Pokémon]] and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and acquisition of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Galactic]]===<br /> [[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Galactic Grunts]]<br /> Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter &quot;G&quot; (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, this team's leader (named [[Cyrus]]) wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> [[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the [[Timespace orbs|Adamant Orb]] and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, they commented that they (Team Rocket) did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tries to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> <br /> =====Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> <br /> =====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=====<br /> Like in the games, the team is led [[Cyrus]]. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader, since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of the life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] becomes the new leader and tried to capture [[Heatran]]. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.<br /> <br /> One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Plasma]]===<br /> [[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|250px|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White]]<br /> [[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]<br /> Team Plasma is the villainous team of the Unova region. Originally, the grunts wear a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wear robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his adopted father, [[Ghetsis]]. After this is discovered, the members of Team Plasma that support Ghetsis change their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that support N remain in the old uniform. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by [[Colress]]. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions.<br /> <br /> The reformed members and N help the player against new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|debut]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] were postponed due to {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan but was later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc but in their new outfits.<br /> <br /> N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance &lt;!--(in person)--&gt; in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. Also, [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode rescuing N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the [[Unova]] region.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> <br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Flare]]===<br /> [[File:XY Team Flare Grunts.png|thumb|right|220px|Team Flare Grunts]]<br /> Team Flare is the villainous team of the Kalos region. Team Flare Grunt's uniform is a mafia styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits and Scientists wear red suits of varying designs. Their symbol is a flaming letter F.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world &quot;beautiful&quot; with style and lots of money. Despite of their goal, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world on the benefit of only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare would attempt to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossils]]. They would also syphon energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on steal [[Poké Balls]] from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] which they would use to increase their army of powerful Pokémon.<br /> <br /> It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves in order to start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an unsustainable level and is doomed by &quot;unproductive fools&quot; consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations to this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and the large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies.<br /> <br /> Post Elite Four, the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Emma|Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> The first appearance of a Team Flare member was in [[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]], where Lysandre made an appearance at Lysandre Labs, where was monitored the Mega Evolution energy Alain had accumulated. He appears again in [[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]] where he interrupted Alain and Steven's battle. He then went with Steven in search for a Giant Rock, in which<br /> <br /> In the anime, Team Flare plan to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zygarde}}, which is first revealed in [[XY094|From A to Z]], but they fail in doing so as it escapes. The team are after two of the Zygarde Cores, in which they code name them Z1 and Z2. In [[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave]], Team Flare were able to locate Z2 while it and Squishy were communicating and thus Mable and Aliana proceeded to go after Z2. After discovering that Z1 has joined Ash and his friends, they begin following the group to capture it, and since then were seen on numerous occasions following them. Team Flare Admins, along with [[Xerosic]] began their experiments on an island using the power of Zygarde Cells to mutate trees, in which Xerosic mentions the experiment was a success. Locating Z2, Aliana and Mable, along with Team Flare Grunts, were able to capture Z2 after help of [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, in which Xerosic later begins experimenting on it. The night before the Lumiose Conference final round, Team Flare, reaching the final stages of their plan, make their way to the Prism Tower to begins setting up their equipment. [[Lysandre]], arriving at Prism Tower orders Z2 to show him its power as Z2 as he puts his plan into motion, announcing to everyone via TV that he plans to create a new, beautiful world by destroying the one they currently live in.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Skull]]===<br /> [[File:Sun Moon Team Skull Grunt.png|thumb|right|220px|Team Skull Grunts]]<br /> Team Skull is the villainous team of the Alola region. The grunts' black-and-white uniforms are inspired by street gangs, and consist of sneakers, shorts, wrist bands, tank tops, bandanas used to cover the lower face, and berets that resemble the tops of skulls. Their symbol is a stylized letter S in the shape of a skull, which is worn as a medallion.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> Team's Skull's intentions are currently unknown, though they have a history of disrupting [[island challenge]] events. The team's leader, [[Guzma]], once attempted the island challenge and failed. He is acquainted with [[Professor Kukui]]. [[Plumeria]], an Admin, is considered the &quot;big sister&quot; of the team and cares for the grunts, calling them her &quot;cute, dumb brothers and sisters&quot;.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--====In the anime====--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Side series==<br /> ===[[Cipher]]===<br /> [[File:Cipher Peon.png|thumb|220px|A Cipher Peon]]<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} this group aims to turn every Pokémon in the world into [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Their leader in Colosseum was [[Mayor Es Cade|Evice]] and their leader in XD: Gale of Darkness was [[Greevil]].<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Everything associated with Orre does not appear as in the anime. Due to the connection between [[Shadow Pokémon]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s, it would not be surprising if this team were based on him.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> Cipher has appeared in two manga adaptations: [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatcher Leo]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatchers]].<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Snagem]]===<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD this team tries to steal every Pokémon in the world using their special device, the [[Snag Machine]]. In both games, their leader was [[Gonzap]].<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Snagem has not appeared in the anime at any point.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> <br /> ==Spin-off games==<br /> ===[[Team Great Rocket]]===<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], this team are located in the [[Trading Card Game Islands]]. They attempt to steal the [[Legendary Cards]] of the [[Grand Master]]s in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. Led by [[King Biruritchi]], they take over [[TCG Island]] and kidnap several of the [[Club Master]]s.<br /> <br /> ===[[Go-Rock Squad]]===<br /> [[File:Go Rock Squad grunts.png|thumb|220px|Go-Rock Grunts]]<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, this team attempts to capture the [[Legendary beasts]] with their own version of the [[Capture Styler]].<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> In [[W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic]], the [[Go-Rock Quads]] capture {{p|Deoxys}} and use it against the Rangers [[Lunick]] and [[Solana]]. They controlled Deoxys by the use of their instruments. The Go-Rock Squad could also change Deoxys's formes with them.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Meanies]]===<br /> [[File:Team Meanies anime.png|thumb|220px|Team Meanies in the anime]]<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], they are the enemy team. They harass the player and their partner many times, including stealing their personal rescue missions and attacking them. Eventually, the player has to rescue one of the members, and the leader of the team asks for help.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Meanies appeared in the Mystery Dungeon anime short, ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. Like in the games, they are the enemy team to [[Team Go-Getters]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> ==={{mdc|Team Skull}}===<br /> [[File:Team Skull art.png|thumb|220px|Team Skull]]<br /> ====In the games====<br /> They are a team of Pokémon in the second pair of Mystery Dungeon games. It is made up of {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Koffing}}, and {{p|Zubat}}. They frequently harass the player's team, until [[Brine Cave]],&lt;!--I think--&gt; where Skuntank is injured. The two teams finally make up, and Team Skull is never seen again.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Skull has not appeared in the anime.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> =====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team=====<br /> Only Koffing and Zubat have appeared in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Dim Sun]]===<br /> ====In the games====<br /> [[File:Dim Sun Grunts.png|thumb|right|200px|Team Dim Sun minions]]<br /> In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, this team attempts to control all Pokémon in [[Almia]] Region. Their head [[Blake Hall]]'s goal is to force all the Pokémon in [[Almia]] to produce limitless energy for his company, the Altru Inc.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> Team Dim Sun appears in [[Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic]]. Their ultimate goal is to take control over {{p|Darkrai}} via the {{DL|The King of Almia and the Three Princes|Shadow Crystal}}.<br /> <br /> ===[[Phobos Battalion]]===<br /> ====In the games====<br /> Phobos Battalion are the enemies in {{g|Trozei!}}. Their goal is to steal Pokémon to use their energy and power up a secret weapon called Phobosphere. Their leader is Baron Phobos.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===[[Pokémon Pinchers]]===<br /> [[File:Pokémon Pinchers.png|thumb|right|200px|Male and female Pokémon pinchers]]<br /> ====In the games====<br /> The Pokémon Pinchers are a villainous team based in the [[Oblivia]] region, appearing in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}. Their leaders are the [[Societea]], four people who wish to extend their lives with the Golden Armor and rule the world.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Two Pinchers and [[Red Eyes]] were seen in anime specials ''[[SS22|Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (Part One)]]'' and ''[[SS23|(Part Two)]]''.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Since [[Generation VI]], a running trend is that the final battle against a villainous team's Boss will take place on a background that differs from the actual location, that also mirrors the respective Team's name.<br /> **In [[Lysandre]]'s case, the background is a fiery area resembling a Sun's corona whereas the actual location was [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. For Archie and Maxie the background resembles a whirlpool or a volcano respectively, while both battles take place in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. In the case of the latter two, even if water and magma are featured in the chamber they are faced, they are battled on solid land.<br /> * As of [[Generation VII]], all leaders of villainous teams in the [[core series]] have been male.<br /> <br /> {{Project CharacterDex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Anime characters]]<br /> [[Category:Game characters]]<br /> [[Category:Organizations]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Verbrecherorganisation]]<br /> [[fr:Team]]<br /> [[it:Team malvagi]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémon Teams]]<br /> [[zh:敌对组织]]</div>

Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * There has never been a Poison-Type Legendary Pokémon (apart from {{p|Arceus}} holding a Toxic Plate).<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * There has never been a Poison-Type Legendary Pokemon (apart from {{p|Arceus}} holding a Toxic Plate).<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Samename|Pokémon identified in the [[Pokédex]] with the &quot;Legendary&quot; [[Pokémon category|category]]|Arcanine (Pokémon)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Legendary Pokémon&quot; website|Legendary Pokémon (site)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Pokémon LEGEND&quot; type of Trading Card|Pokémon LEGEND (TCG)}}<br /> {{redirect|Legend|the Badge given by [[Iris]] or [[Drayden]]|Badge#Legend Badge|Badge → Legend Badge}}<br /> {{Featured|September 5, 2007}}<br /> [[File:Entei Book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a Legendary Pokémon, in the anime]]<br /> <br /> '''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}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.<br /> <br /> [[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * Poison is the only type not represented in any Legendary Pokémon, excluding Toxic Plate Arceus.<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Samename|Pokémon identified in the [[Pokédex]] with the &quot;Legendary&quot; [[Pokémon category|category]]|Arcanine (Pokémon)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Legendary Pokémon&quot; website|Legendary Pokémon (site)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Pokémon LEGEND&quot; type of Trading Card|Pokémon LEGEND (TCG)}}<br /> {{redirect|Legend|the Badge given by [[Iris]] or [[Drayden]]|Badge#Legend Badge|Badge → Legend Badge}}<br /> {{Featured|September 5, 2007}}<br /> [[File:Entei Book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a Legendary Pokémon, in the anime]]<br /> <br /> '''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}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.<br /> <br /> [[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * Poison is the only type not represented in any Legendary Pokémon, besides Toxic Plate Arceus.<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * Poison is the only type not represented in any Legendary Pokémon, excluding Toxic Plate Arceus.<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Samename|Pokémon identified in the [[Pokédex]] with the &quot;Legendary&quot; [[Pokémon category|category]]|Arcanine (Pokémon)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Legendary Pokémon&quot; website|Legendary Pokémon (site)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Pokémon LEGEND&quot; type of Trading Card|Pokémon LEGEND (TCG)}}<br /> {{redirect|Legend|the Badge given by [[Iris]] or [[Drayden]]|Badge#Legend Badge|Badge → Legend Badge}}<br /> {{Featured|September 5, 2007}}<br /> [[File:Entei Book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a Legendary Pokémon, in the anime]]<br /> <br /> '''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}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.<br /> <br /> [[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * The only type not represented in any legendary is Poison (excluding Toxic Plate Arceus).<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|''XYZ'' arc}}, and another Zygarde Core referred to as [[Z2]] was captured by [[Team Flare]]. Both of these Cores have appeared in all three Formes of Zygarde.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * The only type not represented by any legendary is Poison (excluding Toxic Plate Arceus).<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> |vi=Pokémon huyền thoại<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Samename|Pokémon identified in the [[Pokédex]] with the &quot;Legendary&quot; [[Pokémon category|category]]|Arcanine (Pokémon)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Legendary Pokémon&quot; website|Legendary Pokémon (site)}}<br /> {{Samename|&quot;Pokémon LEGEND&quot; type of Trading Card|Pokémon LEGEND (TCG)}}<br /> {{redirect|Legend|the Badge given by [[Iris]] or [[Drayden]]|Badge#Legend Badge|Badge → Legend Badge}}<br /> {{Featured|September 5, 2007}}<br /> [[File:Entei Book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a Legendary Pokémon, in the anime]]<br /> <br /> '''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|伝説|でんせつ}}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.<br /> <br /> [[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. Prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> {{outdated|needs=Statistic average of Legendary Pokémon only}}<br /> Aside from the high [[statistic]]s shared by most Legendary Pokémon, many can only be obtained once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to trade for one.<br /> <br /> The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are part of a [[Legendary duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].<br /> <br /> Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.<br /> <br /> ==={{tt|Statistical average|Considering alternate forms as separate Pokémon, counting Arceus once only and without Phione}}===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> HP=93.13 |<br /> Attack=106.21 |<br /> Defense=99.42 |<br /> SpAtk=111.51 |<br /> SpDef=104.25 |<br /> Speed=101.15 }}<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are worshipped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.<br /> <br /> Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, is not unheard of. {{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 titans}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} owned the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], another Trainer 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, there are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.<br /> <br /> ==List of Legendary Pokémon==<br /> Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 38 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (38/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Generation I===<br /> Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary birds====<br /> {{main|Legendary birds}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'', ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'', and ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Mewtwo====<br /> [[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]<br /> Mewtwo is a catlike Pokémon which is an enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. Mewtwo has two [[Mega Evolution]]s, which increase its [[base stat]] total to 780.<br /> <br /> In the games, Mewtwo was too powerful for its creators and escaped from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, wrecking it in the process. Mewtwo then made its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.<br /> <br /> 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]]. In the anime, Mewtwo was created by a group of scientists funded by [[Team Rocket]] boss {{an|Giovanni}} to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Although Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, after [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and it learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, despite being a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, he and the other clones are no different to 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.<br /> <br /> In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. This Mewtwo appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> More Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding five more Legendary Pokémon for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary beasts====<br /> {{main|Legendary beasts}}<br /> [[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]]]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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: Entei]]'' 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.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Tower duo====<br /> {{main|Tower duo}}<br /> [[File:Lugia and ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}]]<br /> The first [[game 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation III===<br /> Many more Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the eight new Legendary Pokémon bringing the total to 17. At this point in the series, Legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the core series games, with the [[villainous teams]] plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.<br /> <br /> Many of the stories regarding the legendaries were slightly changed, or given a new perspective in the [[remakes]] of the first Generation III core series games, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. Five of them also received new forms.<br /> <br /> ====Legendary titans====<br /> {{main|Legendary titans}}<br /> [[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|right|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]<br /> This third trio of Legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, is featured minimally in [[Hoenn]] legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, is commonly considered to have the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.<br /> <br /> As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the titans, 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]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Legendary titans (M08)|three Legendary titans]] 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Eon duo====<br /> {{main|Eon duo}}<br /> [[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]<br /> While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not have a distinct legend behind them, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available in normal gameplay and the other available through an event.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In Generation VI, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Eon duo plays a much larger role in the main game's plot. They sense the grave danger Hoenn is about to face from the actions of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, and while the {{player}} is talking to {{Steven}} on the east side of {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} appears before the two, asking for their help. The player and Steven ride the Eon Pokémon to protect its counterpart from {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}{{sup/6|AS}} and their subordinate. After the fight {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} joins the player's party, holding its respective [[Mega Stone]]. Noticing the Mega Stone, Steven also gives the player a [[Key Stone|Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}} from Steven, highlighting the special bond between the two. The items enables the player to summon the Eon Pokémon and use it to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] through the skies of Hoenn.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios &amp; Latias]]'', in which the two guarded the city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{OBP|Annie|M05}} 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]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Weather trio====<br /> {{main|Weather trio}}<br /> [[File:Weather trio.png|250px|thumb|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]<br /> This trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known as the weather trio due to their [[weather]]-related [[Ability|Abilities]], serve as the [[game mascot]]s of {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and are the first Legendary trio to all be game mascots. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to have expanded the land and sea, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful Legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on the version, seeks out Groudon or Kyogre respectively, 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 by interference from the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.<br /> <br /> The three members of the trio received new forms in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Rayquaza is now able to Mega Evolve, and Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while holding their respective Orb. Primal Reversion is considered the opposite of Mega Evolution. The latter is the outcome of the connection between Pokémon and human, and the former is derived solely from the Pokémon itself. While Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} are again sought by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, Rayquaza is the target of a mysterious girl named [[Zinnia]] during the post game plot called Delta Episode.<br /> <br /> In the game, their history is revealed: Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless furious clashes. In the face of Primal Groudon and Kyogre's great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.<br /> <br /> 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. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}. The weather trio all made a starring appearance in their Primal/Mega Forms in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', engaging in a violent clash with many other legendaries.<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Nine more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]], bringing the total to 26 Legendary Pokémon. Many of the Legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-[[Hall of Fame]] sidequests for the player to go on. Three of the newly introduced Legendary Pokémon (four prior to the {{game|Platinum}} expansion of the Pokédex) are not in the Sinnoh [[regional Pokédex]], appearing only in the [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> ====Lake guardians====<br /> {{main|Lake guardians}}<br /> [[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|205px|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 through Giratina's lair.<br /> <br /> 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!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Creation trio====<br /> {{main|Creation trio}}<br /> [[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|200px|thumb|left|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br /> 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}}.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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]]'' and ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. 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.<br /> <br /> In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as &quot;mythical Pokémon&quot; (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''); however, this pre-dates the term [[Mythical Pokémon]] (Japanese: 幻のポケモン ''Illusory Pokémon'') and has a different Japanese name.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Cresselia====<br /> [[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|175px|Artwork of {{p|Cresselia}} from Diamond and Pearl]]<br /> {{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Heatran====<br /> [[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]<br /> {{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of the planet's boiling {{wp|core}}, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Reversal Mountain]] in [[Unova]], and [[Scorched Slab]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} in [[Hoenn]], 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Regigigas====<br /> [[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]<br /> {{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary titans]], having created them in ancient times and was said to have moved the continents in place, pulling them by rope.<br /> <br /> In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless all three of the Legendary titans are in the player's party.<br /> <br /> 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}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation V===<br /> Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a necessary and unavoidable capture to progress to the end of the game.<br /> <br /> ====Swords of Justice====<br /> [[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]<br /> {{main|Swords of Justice}}<br /> {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Legendary 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}}, a Mythical Pokémon, 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 former [[signature move]], {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}, most likely to refer to it becoming part of the group later).<br /> <br /> 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}}. In the movie, Cobalion acts as the leader of the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, protecting Pokémon and humans alike through the world.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ====Forces of Nature====<br /> [[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|200px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]<br /> {{main|Forces of Nature}}<br /> {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} are a trio of Pokémon based on {{wp|kami}}: {{wp|Fūjin}}, god of wind, {{wp|Raijin}}, god of thunder and lightning, and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, a fertility deity. 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]].<br /> <br /> 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). They debuted in Therian 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.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Tao trio====<br /> {{main|Tao trio}}<br /> [[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]<br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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 Stones|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.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;Episode N&quot; arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> <br /> {{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.<br /> <br /> 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. It is also capable of this when it appears in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===Generation VI===<br /> Three additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]], totaling 38 Legendary Pokémon. This is the first generation to introduce fewer Legendary Pokémon than the generation before it.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--ATTENTION: While it is heavily suggested that they are a trio, it's not explicitly stated within the story. Please do not edit the section to say one thing or another for now.--&gt;<br /> ====Mortality duo====<br /> [[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Xerneas}}|left]]<br /> [[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]<br /> The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively. Xerneas has the power to share eternal life, while Yveltal absorbs the life force of everything around it. Xerneas sleeps in the form of a tree, while Yveltal sleeps in the form of a cocoon.<br /> <br /> In the games, [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a &quot;beautiful world&quot; in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Xerneas and Yveltal starred in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', along with Diancie, where Xerneas and Yveltal are shown to be residents of the [[Allearth Forest]]. Xerneas made a minor appearance in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', being responsible for causing Ash and his friends to get lost in fog during the orienteering activity.<br /> <br /> It is currently unconfirmed as to whether or not {{p|Zygarde}} belongs to this group.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Zygarde====<br /> [[File:718Zygarde.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zygarde}}]]<br /> {{p|Zygarde}} is a Legendary Pokémon that has the Ability {{a|Aura Break}}, which reverses the effects of Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities. It is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted.<br /> <br /> It has several different Formes. The form most commonly seen is known as Zygarde 50% Forme, in which it is said to be at half its true power. When its power is revealed, it becomes Zygarde Complete Forme, which bears power that exceeds Xerneas and Yveltal. It also bears a weaker Forme, called Zygarde 10% Forme, which is at 10% power and resembles a dog.<br /> <br /> In addition to its Formes, there are two other components of Zygarde that have been seen: Zygarde Core, a miniature cell-like creature that is said to be the mind of Zygarde; and Zygarde Cell, a flattened version of Zygarde Core.<br /> <br /> In {{g|X and Y}}, Zygarde can be caught at [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].<br /> <br /> In the anime, Zygarde debuted in in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' in its 50% Forme alongside a Zygarde Core. A Zygarde Core has traveled alongside Ash and his friends, nicknamed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, since the beginning of the {{DL|List of XY series episodes|XY&amp;Z|XYZ arc}}, and another Zygarde Core was captured by Team Flare. Both of these Cores have appeared in at least one of Zygarde's other Formes.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VII===<br /> So far, two Legendary Pokémon have been announced for [[Generation VII]].<br /> <br /> ====Solgaleo and Lunala====<br /> [[File:Solgaleo.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Solgaleo}}]]<br /> [[File:Lunala.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Lunala}}]]<br /> {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are the Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Solgaleo is the beast that devours the sun, while Lunala is the beast that calls the moon. They have long been honored as the emissaries of the sun and moon, having alternate forms of Radiant Sun Phase and Full Moon Phase respectively. <br /> <br /> They are currently unavailable in the [[Pokémon games]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> &lt;!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two.--&gt;<br /> * Though {{p|Unown}} is not considered to be a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon, its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and it is explicitly referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.<br /> * There has never been a Poison-Type Legendary Pokemon (apart from {{p|Arceus}} holding a Toxic Plate).<br /> * Ho-Oh is the only Generation II Legendary Pokémon who does not have a starring role in a movie.<br /> * {{p|Heatran}} is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.<br /> * 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]]).<br /> * Only {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other Pokémon.<br /> ** Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:<br /> *** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.<br /> *** 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.<br /> * The Legendary birds are the Legendary Pokémon that have been available in the wild in the greatest number of core series games, each being able to be caught in eleven core series games ([[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]]).<br /> * 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]].<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{Pokémon color}}|bordercolor={{Pokémon color dark}}<br /> |ja=伝説のポケモン ''Legendary Pokémon''<br /> |zh_yue=傳說的寶可夢 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-dīk Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的寵物小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Chúngmaht-Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pocket Monster}}'' {{tt|*|M12 and M16 - M17}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut-jūng dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Original series and Official website (XY086)}}&lt;br&gt;傳說小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|XY054 &amp; Legend of Thunder}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的小精靈 ''{{tt|Chyùhnsyut dīk Síujīnglìhng|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Legend of Thunder and Official website (BW110, BW120 &amp; BW122)}}<br /> |zh_cmn=傳說的寶可夢 / 传说的宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Games}}&lt;br&gt;传说中的精灵宝可梦 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Jīnglíng Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Movie (Mainland China (2011-2016))}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M16 and M18}}&lt;br&gt;傳說的神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-de Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|M11, M13, M14, Best Wishes series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Late DP series}}&lt;br&gt;傳說中神奇寶貝 ''{{tt|Chuánshuō-zhōng Shénqíbǎobèi|Legendary Pokémon}}'' {{tt|*|Early DP series}}<br /> |cs=Legendární Pokémon<br /> |da=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |nl=Legendarische Pokémon<br /> |fi=Legendaarinen Pokémon<br /> |fr=Pokémon légendaire<br /> |de=Legendäre Pokémon<br /> |el=Σπάνιο Pokémon ''Spánio Pokémon''<br /> |hu=Legendás Pokémon<br /> |is=Þjóðsagnakenndum Pokémon<br /> |it=Pokémon leggendari<br /> |ko=전설의 포켓몬 ''Jeonseol-ui Pokémon''<br /> |no=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |pl=Legendarny Pokémon<br /> |pt=Pokémon Lendário<br /> |ru=Легендарный Покемон ''Legendarnyy Pokémon''<br /> |es=Pokémon Legendario<br /> |sv=Legendarisk Pokémon<br /> |th=โปเกมอนในตำนาน ''Pokémon nı tảnān''<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {|width=100%|<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Mythical Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Event Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Special Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]<br /> | style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot; width=50% |<br /> * [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon]]<br /> * [[Sinnoh myths]]<br /> * [[History of the Pokémon world]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes in which a Legendary Pokémon appears}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.pokemon.com/powerbracket/us/ Pokémon Power Bracket at Pokémon.com]<br /> <br /> {{Legendary Pokémon}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Legendäre Pokémon]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon légendaire]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon leggendari]]<br /> [[ja:伝説のポケモン]]<br /> [[pl:Pokémony legendarne]]<br /> [[zh:傳說的寶可夢]]</div>

The settlement exists on Unova's western strip of land, and is surrounded by forest. The entrance to the city is through {{rt|19|Unova}} to its north.<br /> <br /> Aspertia City contains some prominent areas of interest such as the [[Aspertia Gym]], a lookout, and a [[Pokémon Center]]. It is a newly developed area containing modern buildings and houses.<br /> <br /> ==Places of interest==<br /> ===Player's house===<br /> {{main|Bedroom}}<br /> The player's house lies in southeastern Aspertia City and is where the player lives before beginning their journey. The player's house has a small flower garden and is situated by a body of water.<br /> <br /> ===Trainer's School / Aspertia Gym===<br /> {{main|Aspertia Gym}}<br /> The Aspertia Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Aspertia City and the first Gym a player must face in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

The Gym is situated just west of the Pokémon Center in the backyard of the Trainers' School.<br /> <br /> ===Lookout===<br /> {{sign|bwbuilding|Aspertia City Outlook Ahead|Unova Unfolds before Your Eyes}}<br /> The lookout is a platform built onto a hill at the city's northmost point. There are stairs, which ascend to an observation deck hosting a green lamppost. The lookout overlooks a panoramic view of a scenic landscape featuring trees, a lake in the foreground, and a mountain range in the background.<br /> <br /> ==Demographics==<br /> The population of

<p>Castformrain: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{search|in-game type|the TCG type|Metal (TCG)}}<br /> ----<br /> {{types}}<br /> The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in the Steel type include [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]], [[Steven Stone]], former {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Hoenn]], and [[Byron]] of [[Canalave City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Steel-type moves were physical.<br /> <br /> The Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As well as introducing new Pokémon with the Steel type, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} were retconned to be a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/Steel Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ==Statistical averages==<br /> ===Overall===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> type=steel|<br /> HP=65.45 |<br /> Attack=85.79 |<br /> Defense=110.79 |<br /> SpAtk=70.87 |<br /> SpDef=82.95 |<br /> Speed=55.61 |<br /> Total=471.45 }}<br /> <br /> ===Fully evolved===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> type=steel|<br /> HP=74.08 |<br /> Attack=97.65 |<br /> Defense=119.04 |<br /> SpAtk=78.96 |<br /> SpDef=90.46 |<br /> Speed=63.27 |<br /> Total=523.46 }}<br /> &lt;!--out of 18--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Battle properties==<br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Steel<br /> |weakto1=Fighting<br /> |weakto2=Fire<br /> |weakto3=Ground<br /> |resist1=Bug<br /> |resist2=Dark<br /> |resist3=Dragon<br /> |resist4=Flying<br /> |resist5=Ghost<br /> |resist6=Grass<br /> |resist7=Ice<br /> |resist8=Normal<br /> |resist9=Psychic<br /> |resist10=Rock<br /> |resist11=Steel<br /> |weaken1=Ice<br /> |weaken2=Rock<br /> |resisted1=Electric<br /> |resisted2=Fire<br /> |resisted3=Steel<br /> |resisted4=Water<br /> |unaffected1=Poison<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> <br /> ===Defense===<br /> Defensively, Steel types are considered to be the best type of Pokémon to use. Pure steel Pokémon have resistances to 11 of the 17 types, which can make for a good physical and special {{DL|Appendix:Metagame terminology|tank}} in battle. Steel types also have an immunity to {{type|Poison}} attacks, and are very tricky to inflict the {{DL|Poison (status ailment)|Poisoning Steel and Poison-type Pokémon|Poison condition}} on. They can hold up to many attacks, because of their typically high Defense. They are also notably the only type capable of resisting the {{t|Dragon}} type that could otherwise take advantage of its [[STAB]]. <br /> <br /> However, all three of the Steel type's weaknesses — {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}} — are very common and popular types. This makes it weak to common moves of those types, including the extremely common {{m|Earthquake}}. Fortunately, most Steel types are dual-types, which defends usually against one of these types; however, it is possible for dual-type Steel Pokémon to develop double weaknesses to some of these moves.<br /> <br /> Pokémon purely of the Steel type have the 2nd greatest amount of resistances in the game. {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, and {{p|Magnezone}}, being Steel and {{t|Electric}}, are the most resistant Pokémon in the game, having 12 resistances plus an immunity to Poison. The added Electric type means these Pokémon are also resistant to Electric moves, and have a double resistance to {{t|Flying}} and Steel moves. However, they also have a double weakness to {{type|Ground}} moves (though this can be negated with the move {{m|Magnet Rise}}, giving them a second immunity).<br /> <br /> ===Offense===<br /> Offensively, it is only recommended to use Steel-type moves for STAB. There are only two types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}}, both of which are rarely used defensively, and have other type weaknesses with more versatility. Furthermore, the {{t|Fire|types}} {{t|Electric|that}} {{t|Water|do}} resist Steel are very common (Including itself). There are only five pure Steel-type Pokémon and thus most have a second type able to provide more effective moves that could offset this disadvantage. Steel-type Pokémon typically have good Attack and below-average Special Attack, though there are some high-powered outliers in either the Physical field, such as {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Excadrill}}, and the Special field, such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Magnezone}}. Said outliers are used often, so STAB on Steel-type moves can prove valuable.

Despite this, there is not a Steel-type move from each generation; Steel is the only type not assigned to a move introduced in Generation I. This is the opposite situation to the other type introduced in Generation II, {{t|Dark}}, as this generation saw {{m|Bite}} change from a {{t|Normal}}- to a Dark-type move but featured no retroactive {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br /> * Though Steel-type moves deal super-effective damage against both {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, there has not yet been a Pokémon of that type combination, and therefore, Steel-type moves currently cannot deal 4× damage.<br /> * All Steel-type moves affect only one Pokémon at a time.<br /> * The Steel type is the only type to lack a move that functions differently in [[Double Battle]]s.<br /> * Steel is the only type that has a non-neutral type matchup with all seventeen types, considering both offense and defense.<br /> * Each of the three starter types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Steel-type Pokémon. Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage.<br /> * Generation V introduced the most Steel-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 12 and Generation II introduced the {{tt|least|not counting Generation I, since this type was unavailable at that time}} Steel-type Pokémon, with {{tt|four|not counting Magnemite and Magneton's type change}}.<br /> * Every Steel-type specialist has used {{p|Skarmory}} in their final team in the {{tt|last game|in chronological order}} that he or she appears in.<br /> * All Steel-type moves except for {{m|Autotomize}} have a name that consists of two words.<br /> * Generation IV introduced the most Steel-type moves of any Generation, with seven and Generation II introduced the {{tt|least|not counting Generation I, since this type was unavailable at that time}} Steel-type moves, with three.<br /> * A pure Steel-type Pokémon has more resistances than any dual type Pokémon that is not part Steel.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable<br /> |color={{steel color}}|bordercolor={{steel color light}}<br /> |ja=はがね (鋼) ''Hagane''<br /> |zh_cmn=鋼 / 钢 ''Gāng''<br /> |nl=Staal<br /> |fi=Teräs<br /> |fr=Acier<br /> |da=Stål<br /> |de=Stahl<br /> |el=Μετάλλου ''Metallou''<br /> |he=פלדה ''Plada''<br /> |id=Baja<br /> |it=Acciaio<br /> |ko=강철 ''Gangcheol''<br /> |no=Stål<br /> |pl=Stalowy<br /> |pt_br=Aço ''Steel''&lt;BR&gt;Metal&lt;BR&gt;Metálico<br /> |pt_eu=Metal<br /> |ru=Стальной ''Stal'noy''<br /> |es=Acero<br /> |ro=Oțel<br /> |sv=Stål<br /> |th=เหล็ก<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[pt:Tipo Steel]]<br /> <br /> [[it:Acciaio (tipo)]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Stahl (Typ)]]<br /> [[es:Tipo Acero]]<br /> [[fr:Acier]]<br /> [[ja:はがね]]<br /> [[pl:Stal (typ)]]<br /> [[zh:钢（属性）]]</div>

He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br /> <br /> After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br /> <br /> Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br /> <br /> In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{ice color}}<br /> |bordercolor={{ice color dark}}<br />

With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.<br /> <br /> Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[kami trio]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise.

He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br /> <br /> After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br /> <br /> Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br /> <br /> In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{ice color}}<br /> |bordercolor={{ice color dark}}<br />

He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]].<br /> <br /> Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.<br /> <br /> Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]].

Scraggy found it difficult to work properly on an icy field, and was at first unable to land any hits. He was, however, able to block Vanillish's Icicle Spear with his &quot;pants&quot; before firing a {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.<br /> <br /> Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[kami trio]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture.<br /> <br /> Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone.

He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br /> <br /> After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br /> <br /> Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br /> <br /> In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{ice color}}<br /> |bordercolor={{ice color dark}}<br />

He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]].<br /> <br /> Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.<br /> <br /> Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}.

Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture.<br /> <br /> Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone. Brycen decides to train Black and takes him away to Icirrus City.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Brycen<br /> |pkmn=Cryogonal<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |img=Brycen Cryogonal Adventures.png<br /> |epnum=ABW34<br /> |desc={{p|Cryogonal}} is one of Brycen's Pokémon.

/> [[Image:Reggie.png|thumb|right|220px|Reggie]]<br /> Pokémon breeders typically concern themselves with raising Pokémon for health and [[friendship]], rather than for [[Pokémon battle]]s. They also participate in beauty contests and related competitions—not to be confused with [[Pokémon Contest]]s, though it is common for them to take interest in these as well.<br /> <br /> Aspects of Pokémon breeders in the {{pkmn|anime}} typically also handle or cover include:<br /> <br /> * Monitoring, taking care of, and hatching [[Pokémon Egg]]s<br /> * Pokémon grooming<br /> * Pokémon nutrition<br /> <br /> The first, however, is mostly based on assumption. Breeders in the anime have not been seen helping Pokémon breed.<br /> <br /> ===Notable breeders===<br /> * {{an|Brock}}<br /> * [[Suzy]]<br /> * [[Zane]]<br /> * [[Edna]]<br /> * {{ka|Jonathan}}<br /> * {{bf|Katrina}}<br /> * [[Yuma]]<br /> * [[Jaco]]<br /> * [[Isis]]<br /> * [[Reggie]]<br /> * [[Khoury]]<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> {{adv|Gold}}, although never officially called breeder, specializes in hatching Pokémon in [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. Other characters who can be called &quot;breeders&quot; in this manga are the [[Day-Care Couple]].<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> In the {{Trading Card Game}}, two cards have Pokémon Breeder in their English names, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} from the {{TCG|Base Set}} and {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Pokémon Breeder Fields|62}} from {{TCG|Neo Revelation}}. However, their Japanese names reveal that they are based on the {{pkmn|Day Care|Day-Care}} [[Day-Care Couple|Man and Couple]], respectively.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * While {{an|Brock}} has mentioned his interest in being a Pokémon Breeder since he was introduced, the Trainer class did not appear until [[Generation III]]. Just the same, the only Pokémon Breeders found in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are female.<br /> * For ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Breeders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ポケモンに　つくしてそだてる　ブリーダー ''Pokémon ni tsukushite sodateru Burīdā'' &quot;The breeder who raises and devotes himself to Pokémon.&quot;<br /> *Prior to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Breeders always had full parties of six pokemon.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{langtable|color={{grass color light}}|bordercolor={{grass color}}<br /> |zh_cmn=神奇寶貝培育家 ''Shénqíbǎobèi Péiyùjiā''{{tt|*|Later anime}}&lt;br&gt;神奇寶貝飼育家 / 神奇宝贝饲育家 ''Shénqíbǎobèi Sìyùjiā''{{tt|*|Original series, Adventures}}<br /> |da=Pokémon Opdrætter <br /> |nl=Pokémon fokker<br /> |de=Pokémonzüchter<br /> |fi=Pokémon-kasvattaja<br /> |fr=Éleveur ({{male}})&lt;BR&gt;Éleveuse ({{female}})<br /> |id=Peternak Pokémon<br /> |pl=Hodowca<br /> |it=Alleva {{PK}}{{MN}}<br /> |ro=Crescător Pokémon<br /> |es=Criapokémon}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{TrainerNav|Grass|johto=yes|hoenn=yes|sinnoh=yes|unova=yes|sevii=yes}}<br /> {{Project CharacterDex notice|tc}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Trainer classes]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon Breeders|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Pokémonzüchter (Trainerklasse)]]<br /> [[fr:Éleveur]]<br /> [[it:Alleva Pokémon (classe allenatore)]]<br /> [[ja:ポケモンブリーダー]]<br /> [[pl:Hodowca]]</div>

<p>Castformrain: /* Recurring items */</p> <hr /> <div>An '''item''' (Japanese: '''どうぐ''' ''tool'') is an object in the [[Pokémon games]] which the player can pick up, keep in their [[bag]], and use in some manner. They have various uses, including healing, powering up, helping one to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, or to access a new area.<br /> <br /> ==Obtaining items==<br /> [[File:Colo Item Chest.png|right|frame|An item chest from {{g|Colosseum}}]]<br /> Items are obtained in several different ways. They can be given to the {{player}} by characters within the game, be bought at a [[Poké Mart]] for money, or found by the player throughout the [[Pokémon world]]. The latter form of items are contained within item balls, spherical containers resembling a [[Poké Ball]]. To obtain the item, players move next to it and press A while facing it. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], many items are found in treasure chests modeled after Poké Balls; in addition, items are often found in bulk from these chests, rather than only singular. Another method introduced in [[Generation II]] is picking [[Berry|Berries]] off a Berry tree. [[Join Avenue]] was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, allowing players to buy certain items in bulk, as well as berries and some rare items.<br /> <br /> ===Item ball images===<br /> {| width=350px style=&quot;{{roundy}}; border:1px solid #999; background: #ccc;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #{{RouteInfo/landdark}};&quot;<br /> ! width=10% style=&quot;{{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | Generation<br /> ! width=20% | Image<br /> ! width=40% style=&quot;{{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | Description<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | align=center | I<br /> | align=center | [[File:rby itemball.png]]<br /> | align=left | A standard item ball from Generation I.

Many items are hidden from view, and can only be obtained by a very lucky chance or, more commonly, through the use of an [[Itemfinder|item finding tool]]. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, some hidden items are revealed by a momentary flash when a player enters a room. This is caused by the light reflecting off the hidden items. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, some hidden items can be found in visibly different tufts of grass. These are most commonly in [[Berry Forest]], where Berries reoccur in these spots after a certain amount of time.<br /> <br /> ===Recurring items===<br /> Recurring items on the ground are quite rare within the Pokémon series. Although multiple items can be bought at [[Poké Mart]]s, finding items on the ground repeatedly in the same place is almost unheard of. [[Generation I]] had no known places where there were recurring items. [[Generation II]] introduced Apricorn trees and Berry trees, on which new Apricorns and Berries would grow every day; however, there were still no known places of reoccurring items on the ground.<br /> <br /> [[Generation III]] continued the idea of the Berry tree in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as introducing {{DL|Exchangeable item|Shoal Salt}}s and {{DL|Exchangeable item|Shoal Shell}}s. However, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Berry tree was removed and replaced by recurring Berries hidden on the ground in [[Berry Forest]]. [[Berry|Berries]] may regenerate every 512 steps. Other areas of recurring items include [[Treasure Beach]], south of {{OBP|One Island|town}}.<br /> <br /> In [[Generation IV]] the main recurring item is the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Reaper Cloth}}, {{DL|Valuable item|Rare Bone}}, or {{DL|Valuable item|Stardust}} found in [[Turnback Cave]] after defeating or catching {{p|Giratina}} in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Furthermore in Generation IV, [[Honey]] will regenerate at the rate of two per day in [[Floaroma Meadow]] after the player has gathered them on the initial trip through. These may be found in any of the spots originally found, randomly generated. <br /> <br /> In Generation V, TinyMushrooms will regrow, though they will remain invisible. Primarily, these are found on {{rt|6|Unova}} and {{rt|12|Unova}}, but can also be found in [[Icirrus City]] in the [[Seasons|winter]]. Additionally, a {{DL|Valuable item|Pearl}} and {{DL|Valuable item|Stardust}} will wash up on {{rt|13|Unova}} or at [[Undella Town]] once per day. These may either both be found beside the {{tc|Black Belt}} on Route 13 or on the very easternmost shore of Undella Town or one in each location. Another {{DL|Valuable item|Pearl}} may be found periodically on {{rt|18|Unova}} near the {{tc|Battle Girl}}. It appears that the {{DL|Drink|Lemonade}} found on the road on {{rt|9|Unova}} will regenerate, but how often is unknown.<br /> <br /> Many items gained recurring status in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, as they are found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s, which contents regenerate.<br /> <br /> ===Fake items===<br /> In some indoor areas, item balls may in fact turn out to be {{p|Voltorb}} or {{p|Electrode}}, in which case interacting with them will instead initiate a battle with said Pokémon. In [[Generation V]], in forested areas item balls may be {{p|Foongus}} or {{p|Amoonguss}}.<br /> <br /> ==Item types==<br /> {{main|List of items by type}}<br /> Throughout the [[Pokémon world]], the [[Bag]] is used to carry items. Since [[Generation II]], Items have been separated into categories to help with overall organization. These categories are altered slightly with each game. Some of the common categories consist of:<br /> * '''General items''' - [[Escape Rope]]s, [[Repel]]s, [[Battle Item|Battle Enhancers]], [[Mail]], etc.<br /> * '''Medicine''' - [[Potion]]s, [[Status ailment healing item]]s, Stat-boosting items, etc. While originally part of the general Items bag section, it has had its own since Generation IV.<br /> * '''[[TM]]s &amp; [[HM]]s''' - All [[move]] teaching devices, by which Pokémon can learn moves such as {{m|Surf}}, {{m|DynamicPunch}}, and {{m|Psychic}}. HM's cannot be discarded; in Gen V, TM's have this trait as well, as they are reusable.<br /> * '''[[Poké Ball]]s''' - Different type of balls are all used for {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br /> * '''[[Key item]]s''' - Special items that players can only obtain once, that either aid the progression of the storyline or traveling. They rarely have anything to do with the player's Pokémon and are mostly specific to the game. These types of item include Tickets, Keys, and the popular [[Bicycle|Bike]]. Key items can never be discarded, however, certain items will disappear from the player's bag during storyline events.<br /> * '''[[Held item]]s''' - Items that can be held by a Pokémon, then used by them in some way. There are many varieties of these.<br /> * '''[[Berry|Berries]]''' - The items were introduced in [[Generation II]], and expanded upon in [[Generation III]] with the creation of many different types of berries, as well as adding a separate bag slot for them.<br /> <br /> The preceding basic classification holds mostly true for Generations II and III. However, in [[Generation IV]], items have been arranged into further categories. New categories include Medicine, Battle Items, and Mail. [[Generation I]] did not have any form of categories in the Bag (as it held a very limited number of items), though the categories can still apply.<br /> <br /> ==Item storage==<br /> Items that are obtained are stored in different places. Initially, when an item is obtained, it is placed in the {{player}}'s [[bag]], and from Generation II onwards, into a specific pocket of that bag. When a section of the bag becomes full, players will not be able to pick up any other items of that type. To make space, players must store their items within their PC, accessed at a [[Pokémon Center]] as &lt;Player&gt;'s [[PC]]. In [[Generation IV]], this problem is eliminated by having no limit on items in the bag, and the player's PC is used for other purposes. The player also has the ability to toss items away: this will delete them from the bag. [[Key item]]s, [[HM]]s, and, in Generation V, [[TM]]s cannot be tossed.<br /> <br /> ===Held items===<br /> {{main|Held item}}<br /> Since [[Generation II]], certain items have been able to be held by Pokémon to heal or to enhance their power. Healing items can be used in battle without taking up a turn, but must be natural for them to work. Artificial items such as [[Potion]]s and {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s cannot be used by Pokémon during battle. Held items also have other uses, such as an aid to evolve during trading or battle. [[Mail]] was also introduced as a hold item, in which players could send customizable messages with their Pokémon upon trading.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> {{items}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project ItemDex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Items|* 1]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Item]]<br /> [[fr:Objet]]<br /> [[it:Strumento]]<br /> [[ja:どうぐ]]<br /> [[pl:Item]]</div>

[[Key item]]s, [[HM]]s, and, in Generation V, [[TM]]s cannot be tossed.<br /> <br /> ===Held items===<br /> {{main|Held item}}<br /> Since [[Generation II]], certain items have been able to be held by Pokémon to heal or to enhance their power. Healing items can be used in battle without taking up a turn, but must be natural for them to work. Artificial items such as [[Potion]]s and {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}s cannot be used by Pokémon during battle. Held items also have other uses, such as an aid to evolve during trading or battle. [[Mail]] was also introduced as a hold item, in which players could send customizable messages with their Pokémon upon trading.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> {{items}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project ItemDex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Items|* 1]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Item]]<br /> [[fr:Objet]]<br /> [[it:Strumento]]<br /> [[ja:どうぐ]]<br /> [[pl:Item]]</div>

He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br /> <br /> After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br /> <br /> Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br /> <br /> In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{ice color}}<br /> |bordercolor={{ice color dark}}<br />

He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]]. <br /> <br /> Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.<br /> <br /> Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]].

He was, however, able to block Vanillish's Icicle Spear with his &quot;pants&quot; before firing a {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.<br /> <br /> Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[kami trio]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture.<br /> <br /> Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone.

She specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Bolt}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> ===Role===<br /> Elesa makes her debut in {{game|Black and White|s}}, serving as the Nimbasa City Gym Leader. This Gym is the fourth that the player may challenge. The player can challenge her to a battle after riding a series of roller coasters to her location, a process involving the flipping of multiple switches so the tracks take the player to her.<br /> <br /> Elesa specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. She utilizes a strategy that involves using {{m|Volt Switch}} between her two {{p|Emolga}}, and later {{p|Zebstrika}}. Upon defeating her, she will reward the player with a Bolt Badge and {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}. <br /> <br /> Outside of battle, Elesa is a supermodel. She appears when [[Bianca]] attempts to convince her father to allow her to become a Pokémon Trainer. Elesa aids her, convincing Bianca's father to give his daughter the permission to follow her dream. When the player leaves Nimbasa City, it is Elesa who appears briefly on {{rt|5|Unova}} and tells the bridge guard to lower the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] so the player may cross it. She then appears at [[N's Castle]], where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]] while the player goes after N. While not strictly relevant to the plot, Elesa also visits [[Cynthia]] in the summer at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.<br /> <br /> Elesa is good friends with fellow Gym Leader [[Skyla]]. In between the events of Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, she confided in Skyla about changing her image. She reveals that she is conscious about the reserved image she displays, and has a fondness for bad puns.<br /> <br /> In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Elesa returns as a Gym Leader. The player has to go back to the old Gym and talk to one of Elesa's models where Elesa used to be to have access to the new Gym which is an actual catwalk and fashion show. The TM Elesa gives away remains the same. After gaining access to the new gym and defeating Elesa, she walks the player back down the catwalk to the entrance. She later participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{electric color}}<br />

There are people whose way of thinking may be completely different from yours. Sometimes, this means you may get hurt.&quot;''<br /> :''&quot;But it's important to keep trying, to learn about the differences between yourself and others... To learn that being different is OK. And you shouldn't worry. Trainers always have Pokémon at their side. Pokémon are wonderful. It's not only how cute they can be, but also how much you can depend on them...&quot;''<br /> :''&quot;I'm sure he traveled as a Trainer himself, in the past... Being a parent must be hard.&quot;''<br /> :''&quot;Did I meddle unnecessarily? You looked troubled, so I decided to chime in.&quot;''<br /> :''&quot;By the way, if you're Trainers, please stop by the Pokémon Gym.

Elesa was excited to see [[Ash's Pikachu]] and even left the runway just so she could get a closer look. Later, Elesa battled Bianca in a three-on-three match and easily defeated all of Bianca's Pokémon with her powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}.<br /> <br /> Elesa battled {{Ash}} in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]''. Although Ash proved to be a far tougher opponent than Bianca had, she still gave the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} a tough time in her Gym. However Ash was able to pull through and earn himself a {{badge|Bolt}}.<br /> <br /> Elesa appeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' and [[BW103]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is of Elesa's known Pokémon in the anime: <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Elesa<br /> |pkmn=Zebstrika<br /> |type1=Electric<br /> |img=Elesa Zebstrika.png<br /> |epnum=BW049<br /> |epname=Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!<br /> |vajp=Kensuke Satō<br /> |vaen=Marc Thompson <br /> |desc=Elesa's {{p|Zebstrika}} first appeared in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', where it was used in a Gym battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{p|Shelmet}}, {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} and {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. Zebstrika proved itself to be extremely powerful, knocking out all three of Bianca's Pokémon with little effort.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW050|Battle-Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Zebstrika was used against [[Ash's Palpitoad]] during his challenge for a badge. However, as Palpitoad was part {{type|Ground}}, Wild Charge would not work and Flame Charge did little damage. Although Zebstrika's Double Kick was powerful against Palpitoad, it was hit with Palpitoad's {{m|Supersonic}}, leaving it confused. A combination of {{m|Mud Shot}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} finally knocked it out.<br /> <br /> Zebstrika's known moves are {{m|Flame Charge}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, {{m|Wild Charge}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Elesa<br /> |pkmn=Emolga<br /> |gender=female<br /> |type1=Electric<br /> |type2=Flying<br /> |img=Elesa Emolga.png<br /> |epnum=BW050<br /> |epname=Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!<br /> |vajp=Misato Fukuen<br /> |vaen=Misato Fukuen<br /> |desc=Elesa's {{p|Emolga}} first appeared in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', where she was used second in her Gym Battle against {{Ash}}. Using a combination of Attract and Aerial Ace, she was able to knock out Ash's {{AP|Palpitoad}}. Next, she went up against {{AP|Snivy}}. As both Pokémon were female, Attract could not work; however, Emolga was able to defeat Snivy using Aerial Ace and Acrobatics—moves Snivy was weak against. Finally, Emolga was sent up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, but since the recent battles had taken their toll, Emolga was knocked out with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}.<br /> <br /> She appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]''.<br /> <br /> Emolga's known moves are {{m|Attract}}, {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and {{m|Electro Ball}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=no<br /> |trainer=Elesa<br /> |pkmn=Tynamo<br /> |gender=female<br /> |type1=Electric<br /> |img=Elesa Tynamo.png<br /> |epnum=BW050<br /> |epname=Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!<br /> |vajp=Kiyotaka Furushima<br /> |vaen=Alyson Rosenfeld<br /> |desc={{p|Tynamo}} was the last Pokémon Elesa used against Ash in their Gym Battle in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', and is called by Elesa as her &quot;Electric Queen&quot;. Ash was confused by the unusual Pokémon that, despite being fish-like in appearance, could float in mid-air. Elesa worked around Tynamo's inability to learn more than a few moves by training her so her Tackle was extremely powerful, causing Pikachu to struggle. However, Pikachu was able to pull himself together and knocked out Tynamo with {{m|Iron Tail}} after repetitively using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the field. She reappeared in a flashback in [[BW103]].<br /> <br /> Tynamo's only known move is {{m|Tackle}}.}}<br /> {{right clear}}<br /> <br /> ===Voice actors===<br /> {{vatable|color={{electric color light}}|bordercolor={{electric color}}<br /> |ja=小林由美子 ''Yumiko Kobayashi''&lt;br&gt;沢城みゆき ''Miyuki Sawashiro'' ([[B2W2AT]])<br /> |en=[[Eileen Stevens]]&lt;br&gt;[[Sarah Natochenny]] ([[B2W2AT]])<br /> |zh_cmn=林美秀 ''Lín Měixiù''<br /> |es_la=Analiz Sánchez<br /> |es_eu=Marta Gil&lt;br&gt;Pilar Martín ([[B2W2AT]])}}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> [[File:Elesa Adventures.png|thumb|right|160px|Elesa in Pokémon Adventures]]<br /> She is briefly seen with other Nimbasa City officials when talking to White and negotiating with the [[BW Agency]] about the [[Pokémon Musical]] since Nimbasa City was starting to dwindle with its tourism, although Elesa didn't appear to be very interested. Later, when the Musical was being set up, Elesa was seen dressing up her Zebstrika in support of it. She informs {{adv|Black}} that their Gym Battle will have to wait until the Musical ends. Later, Black and Elesa have their Gym battle despite the fact that Black becomes stuck in her Gym's coaster car. Eventually, Black manages to defeat her but before he can take the badge, he is sent to the outside of the Gym from a thunderstorm caused by the Pokémon {{p|Thundurus}}.<br /> <br /> Elesa, along with her fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, she and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Elesa and the other Gym Leaders fell to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Kami trio]].<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Elesa<br /> |pkmn=Zebstrika<br /> |stage1=Blitzle<br /> |width=80%<br /> |type1=Electric<br /> |img=Elesa Blitzle Adventures.png<br /> |cap=Elesa's Blitzle<br /> |img2=Elesa Zebstrika Adventures.png<br /> |epnum=ABW22<br /> |epname=To Make a Musical<br /> |desc={{p|Zebstrika}} is the first Pokémon that Elesa is known to own.

Zebstrika was used against Black in the Gym battle where it defeated his Tula after exploiting its Motor Drive Ability to raise its speed. Eventually, Zebstrika was defeated by Black's [[Nite]]. In a flashback that occurred in the same chapter, it was revealed that Elesa owned Zebstrika when it was a {{p|Blitzle}} during her youth.<br /> <br /> Zebstrika's known moves are {{m|Flame Charge}} and {{m|Volt Switch}}, and its Ability is {{a|Motor Drive}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Elesa<br /> |pkmn=Emolga (×2) <br /> |width=80%<br /> |type1=Electric<br /> |type2=Flying<br /> |img=Elesa Emolga Adventures.png<br /> |cap=Elesa's Emolga<br /> |epnum=ABW22<br /> |epname=To Make a Musical<br /> |desc={{p|Emolga}} are the second and third Pokémon that Elesa is known to own.

Castformrain https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_glitches_in_Generation_V&diff=1806562 2012-11-29T02:46:32Z

<p>Castformrain: /* Variable scoring glitch */</p> <hr /> <div>This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation V]] [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]].<br /> ==In Pokémon Black and White==<br /> {{GlitchResearch|Which are fixed in sequels and which not}}<br /> <br /> ===Assist Egg glitch===<br /> When {{m|Assist}} is used, it can use the moves of unhatched {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the party.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|I3Ifoeh9n3o|wtfhloser|Normal}}<br /> <br /> ===Café Warehouse glitch===<br /> The tiles on the center and right of the door on the inside of the Café Warehouse say &quot;It looks like a cabinet full of Pokémon goods.&quot; when the A Button is pressed while facing them.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|5Q9qWs78JY4|Zowayixx|Normal}}<br /> <br /> ===Celestial tower glitch===<br /> <br /> When the B button is pressed on the 3rd and 4th floors of the [[Celestial Tower]] the NPC's will change directions, with the exception of the {{tc|Nurse}} on the 3rd floor. This allows players to avoid all of the Trainers on these floors.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|oERx_RAI72o|funmaniacs11|ghost}}<br /> <br /> ===Dreamyard solid tiles bug===<br /> On the large staircase that can only be accessed post-game in the top-right of the [[Dreamyard]], there is a row of solid tiles that cannot be walked on. On the others, these tiles can be walked on.<br /> <br /> ===Fainted Pokémon glitch===<br /> Sometimes in a battle a Pokémon will survive a would-be one-hit KO with one {{stat|HP}} left, but will still [[Fainting|faint]]. This occurs more often to low level Pokémon. <br /> <br /> In a [[Single Battle]], this prevents the player from switching out Pokémon or attack. The only way out of this is to reset the game.<br /> &lt;!--In a [[Double Battle]], when the fainted Pokémon is switched out there will be no sprite, but it will still be in battle as a [[glitch Pokémon]] with all of the [[moves]] being what was in the first slot of that Pokémon. When the battle ends the game will be back to normal with the Pokémon fainted.--&gt;<br /> <br /> In a [[Rotation Battle]], the Pokémon can still be rotated out to a different Pokémon.<br /> {{youtubevid|sWXjGusQZd0|DSLiteUser55|Unknown}}<br /> <br /> ===Game layout peek===<br /> <br /> Often, when the [[game freeze]]s when the player is walking about, standing, whatever, the freeze can produce some visual glitches, probably caused by the fact that such graphics are never saved on the console's temporary memory, such as:<br /> <br /> *Any nearby stairs look like ramps.<br /> *The umbrellas in [[Undella Town]] appear plain coloured.<br /> *The player and tall grass will disappear, and sometimes trees do too.<br /> <br /> ===Gear Station glitch===<br /> When returning to Gear Station after riding a train from a location other than Gear Station, the location name &quot;Gear Station&quot; is not displayed until entering the center of the station, despite the platform itself being considered to be Gear Station by the game. This includes when the player reaches the rest area after seven wins in a row, since it is considered to be the [[Battle Subway]] by the game, but all other parts of the Battle Subway do not trigger this.<br /> <br /> ===GTS morphing glitch===<br /> {{main|Global Terminal#Morphing glitch|Global Terminal}}<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|k0VFZvtyBbc|wtfhloser|normal}}<br /> <br /> ===GTS freeze glitch=== <br /> This glitch appears to happen when the game does not display the sprites of Trainers that have the sought Pokémon for trade. When selecting a Trainer after an empty space the [[game freeze]]s. Tapping on a Trainer after a space will cause the game to display that an error has occurred.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|DKKAjdlF7Kk|wtfhloser|normal}}<br /> <br /> ===Gym Leader music glitch=== <br /> If the player is in the middle of a move that inflicts damage over several turns consecutively (such as {{m|Rollout}}) and the [[Gym Leader]] sends out their last Pokémon, the battle music will not change until after the duration of the move ends. This is because the Gym Leader does not come out to speak, which is what cues the music change.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|HfNG6yPQpL8|chicobo329|Flying}}<br /> <br /> ===Icirrus Gym glitch===<br /> In [[Icirrus Gym]], there are three rocks which are not solid—they can be walked on. Using one of these rocks, it is possible to reach [[Brycen]] without battling {{tc|Black Belt}} Thomas.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|fIvh7lsarUA|Zowayixx|Ice}}<br /> <br /> ===Landing on person or item===<br /> When {{m|Surf}}ing, by moving towards a tile directly adjacent to an NPC or item that is adjacent to [[water tile|water]], then pressing the D-pad to dismount onto the NPC or item, the player will be standing on top of it. However, this won't occur if the person is moving.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|1Z6LeM3Pq5w|mmxmm246|Water}}<br /> <br /> ===Liberty Garden Fly glitch===<br /> <br /> When selecting Liberty Garden while using Fly, its green dot is filled red as if it could be flown to, unlike other locations represented by the same symbol. This indicates that it may have been intended to be a location which could be flown to in the [[beta]] versions.<br /> <br /> In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] however, all locations marked by green squares turn red.<br /> <br /> ===Liberty Pass glitch===<br /> <br /> While in the [[Mystery Gift]] menu, viewing [[Wonder Card]]s, if the player switches between any card and the [[Liberty Pass]]' card, the sprite for the liberty pass will jump and glitch for a fraction of a second.<br /> <br /> ===Low HP cry glitch===<br /> While Pokémon with a yellow HP bar have a distorted [[cry]] to match their low {{stat|HP}}, Pokémon with a red HP bar have the same cry as Pokémon with a green HP bar.<br /> <br /> ===Music memory glitch===<br /> {{incomplete|section|Needs a video}}<br /> <br /> If the player goes below the first floor in the [[Dreamyard]], [[Wellspring Cave]], [[Chargestone Cave]] or [[Challenger's Cave]], the music will usually play with a lower pitch and tempo. This is deliberate and is meant to set the atmosphere. However, if the player [[Saving|saves]] and resets, the music will play as if the player was on the top floor. <br /> <br /> Likewise, if the player rides to a different area after getting on the [[bicycle]], the music will change from the cycling theme to that location's music. However, if the player then saves and resets, the cycling music will play. (Interestingly, this did not occur in Generation IV.)<br /> <br /> Variable scoring is not affected by this.<br /> <br /> ===Music speed glitch===<br /> When the player uses {{m|Dig}} or an [[Escape Rope]] while [[Bicycle|cycling]] (cycling music must be playing) or {{m|surf}}ing while below the first floor in [[Wellspring Cave]], [[Chargestone Cave]] or [[Challenger's Cave]] and travels to [[Pinwheel Forest]], [[Moor of Icirrus]] or [[Desert Resort]], the music will play with a lower pitch and tempo, as if the player was in an underground floor. Reentering the affected area will revert the music back to normal, as will surfing or using the bicycle.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|fp5JI-n2Gps|hervoheebo|Water}}<br /> <br /> ===Mystery Gift Card Album cry glitch===<br /> If the player has a Wonder Card that contains a Pokémon on the next page to the one they are currently on, moves the cursor to &quot;Exit&quot; and taps the screen, the cry of the first card on that page will be heard.<br /> <br /> ===Nacrene Gym bookcase glitch===<br /> After the bookcase in [[Nacrene Gym]] has been moved to reveal the secret stairs, it is still possible to read the book on the bookshelf from the stepladder. If the player stands on the stepladder, [[Saving|saves]], then resets, upon resuming it is possible to read the book as if the bookcase had not moved. It is possible to do this until the player leaves the room.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|XlrPJPUCUv0|Zowayixx|Normal}}<br /> <br /> ===Nimbasa Gym Trainer glitch===<br /> In Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, if the player loses to {{tc|Lady}} Colette in [[Nimbasa Gym]] while directly facing her when encountered, this glitch will occur. When the player comes back in she will be standing on the same spot and will battle the player. After she is defeated, she still remains on the tracks of the roller coaster, and can be passed through while riding the roller coaster to [[Elesa]].<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|VD1HxV0Q9mQ|NaiJPC|Electric}}<br /> <br /> === Opelucid Gym air walk glitch===<br /> <br /> On the sloping part of the path before the first dragon's tail in [[Opelucid Gym]], the two tiles directly up and down can be walked on, leaving the player walking on the air.<br /> [[File:Opelucid Gym glitch.png|thumb|The player floating one tile to the north of the slope.]]<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Opelucid Gym pedestal glitch===<br /> In front of both of the &quot;certified Trainers&quot; pedestals in the [[Opelucid Gym]] is an empty tile that cannot be walked on. This tile is considered by the game to be the pedestal and can be interacted with rather than the pedestal itself, and acts just like it. Despite this, the space taken by the visible pedestal cannot be walked on.<br /> <br /> ===Opelucid Gym shadowed tiles glitch===<br /> Yet another glitch in Opelucid Gym is that all of the tiles behind the [[Gym Leader]] can't be walked on.<br /> <br /> ===Relic Castle glitch===<br /> On B3F of the [[Relic Castle]] near the drop point from the hole closest to the correct drop point to B2F there is a non-solid wall tile. It is on the wall one tile to the left of the wall directly to the south of this drop point.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|bOLcm3SbC38|GamingMasterErnest|Normal}}<br /> <br /> ===Sitrus Berry glitch===<br /> If a Pokémon holding a [[Sitrus Berry]] hurts itself from confusion and reaches under half of its max HP through the damage, then its Sitrus Berry will not activate until another form of damage is dealt.<br /> <br /> ===Shed Shell glitch===<br /> Sometimes in in-game battles, if the player's lead Pokémon holds a [[Shed Shell]], it will be unable to switch out. This glitch does not occur in link battles.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|ZV74uPW0PiU|wtfhloser|normal}}<br /> <br /> ===Sky Drop glitch===<br /> {{main|Sky Drop glitch}}<br /> Due to this glitch, the move Sky Drop was banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches starting November 10, 2010.<br /> <br /> This glitch can only occur in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s. It is activated when Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after Sky Drop is used. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until it is knocked out.<br /> <br /> ===Text speed glitch===<br /> An old woman in [[Driftveil City]] talks one text speed slower than the selected text speed. This is due to her missing a large section of code, and is not intentional.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|I40tO6KokoM|Zowayixx|White}}<br /> <br /> ===TM67 Retaliate glitch===<br /> [[File:TM67 Retaliate glitch.png|frame|Menu screen of TM67 in the Japanese versions]]<br /> In Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{TM|67|Retaliate}} appears as a {{type|Dark}} TM, despite the move being {{type|Normal}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Trick Room glitch===<br /> If a Pokémon has an effective speed greater than 1809, it will ignore the effects of {{m|Trick Room}} and act before slower Pokémon.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|TmZHKZJMnBc|NaiJPC|speed}}<br /> <br /> ===Walking Trainer glitch===<br /> When blocking the path of certain Trainers who walk in a loop, if their path is blocked at a corner so that they cannot change direction, they will continue walking in the direction they were slowly and without turning, so as to appear to be walking into nothing but behaving as if they are walking into a wall.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|NMvSGFzN-QU|blahperson15|black}}<br /> <br /> ===Wellspring Cave glitch===<br /> <br /> When the B button is pressed on the 1st Basement floor of the [[Wellspring Cave]] the NPC's will start moving at different speeds depending on the Trainer. With some difficulty, this allows players to avoid all of the Trainers on the floor.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Black 2 and White 2==<br /> <br /> ===Ferris Wheel Bug===<br /> In certain cases, when [[saving]] the game in the [[Nimbasa City|Nimbasa]] Amusement Park, then resuming play on a later date and talking to the NPC outside the Ferris Wheel, they can partly morph into a different NPC. For example [[N]] can be observed speaking about [[Hugh]]'s younger sister as if they were his, and turns into Hugh when riding the Ferris Wheel, then back into N when he gets off.<br /> <br /> ===Giant Chasm glitch===<br /> In the [[Giant Chasm]], there is a set of trees that can be walked through. This does not seem to affect the game in any way.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|ALd8EAHSkc4|djtrfigo}}<br /> <br /> ===Grass Glitch===<br /> In [[Floccesy Ranch]] there is a tile that appears to be a grass tile, but is instead a normal tile. It can be walked on without any wild Pokémon appearing and will not make the sound of the player walking through grass.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|lXTeeiPNcwk|Mucrush|green}}<br /> <br /> ===Head in Rock Glitch===<br /> In the [[Pledge Grove]] behind Alder's house in [[Floccesy Town]], the player's head can appear to be inside the large rock. If the player walks straight to the middle of the rock and takes one step to the right, part of their head will be cut off by the rock.<br /> <br /> ===Incorrect Victory Music===<br /> Defeating a wild Pokémon while the player has a partner (i.e. [[Bianca]] in [[Reversal Mountain]]) will play the trainer defeated jingle, rather than the one used for wild Pokémon.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|Fzypi6vyt5k|chicobo329|white}}<br /> <br /> ===Join Avenue Glitch===<br /> {{GlitchResearch|dubious; it could be a misinterpretation.}}<br /> <br /> If the player flies to [[Join Avenue]], goes about 8 or 9 steps down from it on [[Unova Route 4|Route 4]] and then runs back into the avenue all the items will be gone. The player will also not be able to buy anything, with the fans not appearing too.<br /> <br /> ===Marlon glitch===<br /> In the [[Humilau Gym]], [[Marlon]] can be made to go silent when talking to the player.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|NV9FeVv58OQ|grandmaster101587458|water}}<br /> <br /> ===N glitch===<br /> In the ruins of [[N's Castle]], the player can get a copy of N to appear. One N will follow the player around while the other will stand still and can be talked to as normal. Since the player is being followed by a copy of N, this glitch prevents the player from flying or fighting in battles.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|KBkxYmLNQCA|kewlbdude}}<br /> <br /> ===Pokéstar Studios Surfable Tree===<br /> In the Pokéstar Studios area, there is a tree on the right side that can be surfed on.<br /> <br /> The beginning of the glitch is at 2:00 and ends at 2:42, with the results of the glitch being shown from 2:26 to 2:42.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|tkJI2TfBc3k|EverChangerDelta}}<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon World Tournament Bug===<br /> A minor bug occurs in the Pokémon World Tournament building. In a section of the building, there is a spot for the last important NPC the player has battled in for the Semifinals, Quarterfinals, and the Opening Round. If a player battles an important NPC in either the Semifinals or Quarterfinals in one tournament and the same character in the Quarterfinals or Opening Round of a second tournament, then the NPC will be shown in two different spots.<br /> <br /> The beginning of the glitch is at 0:14 and ends at 1:59, with the results of the glitch being shown from 1:51 to 1:59.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|tkJI2TfBc3k|EverChangerDelta}}<br /> <br /> ===Skyla Animation Bug===<br /> [[File:Spr B2W2 Skyla.png|thumb|right|Note: {{tt|Image is animated|You can't notice the glitch unless you use a browser that recognizes this type of animation; most browsers will only show the first frame.}}]]<br /> When challenging [[Skyla]] to a battle, a few of the beginning frames of her Trainer sprite lack the blue leg holster that is located just above the knee on her right leg. It is not there at the start, but when her left leg covers the object, it suddenly appears once the leg moves away.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===White and Black flashback glitch===<br /> If the player has used the [[Memory Link]] and defeated [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]] in the Black or White version which the game is linked to, the White and Black [[Memory Link#Flashbacks|flashback]] will be unlocked. The description from the Memory List refers that in order to make it happen, the player has got first to participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. However, it's possible to watch it before unlocking such location.<br /> <br /> ===White Forest shadow glitch===<br /> [[File:White Forest tree glitch.png|thumb|right|200px|The tree lacking a shadow as seen in the upper left corner]]<br /> One of the trees to the left of the entrance to the White Treehollow does not have a shadow underneath it.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Zoroark Frozen Bug===<br /> During the post-game in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, a player may see a Zoroark near a cave on Victory Road. Should the player leave the cave without following the Zoroark to the end, when the player returns to the area the Zoroark will be in its original spot, but will not move from the tile it is on. This prevents the player from being able to catch several Pokémon, and this also prevents the player from meeting with [[N|a very important NPC]]. This bug was fixed in international releases.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|cZPfeBxQa4g|elvistny|dark}}<br /> <br /> ==In all Generation V games==<br /> <br /> ===Biker Speed bug=== <br /> In places with {{tc|Cyclist}}s or {{tc|Biker}}s such as Route 9 or 16, when the player presses B the cyclists will speed up. This is intentional so that the player can't run past them without them seeing. However, if you hold B while standing still the NPCs will still speed up.<br /> <br /> This is also the case for the {{tc|Smasher}}s and {{tc|Hoopster}}s in the [[Village Bridge]] area in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.<br /> <br /> {{youtubevid|6lJKixU2gxk|chicobo329|black}}<br /> <br /> ===Money glitch===<br /> If the player wins a battle with an [[Amulet Coin]] and a [[Entralink#List_of_Pass_Powers|Prize Money Power ↑, ↑↑ or ↑↑↑]], so that the resulting prize money is an amount greater than {{pdollar}}9999, it will be displayed with a question mark before the last four digits. This happens due to the fact that graphically, the game only recognizes prize money values up to that number.<br /> <br /> ===TM94 Rock Smash glitch===<br /> In {{4v|Black|White}}, {{TM|94|Rock Smash}} appears as a {{type|Rock}} TM, despite the move being {{type|Fighting}}. <br /> [[File:TM94 Rock Smash glitch.png|thumb|230px|left|Menu screen of TM94 in Black and White]]<br /> [[File:TM94 Rock Smash glitch B2W2.png|thumb|230px|right|Menu screen of TM94 in Black 2 and White 2]]<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Variable scoring glitch===<br /> This glitch only works in cities and towns that can be {{m|Fly|flown}} or {{m|teleport}}ed to with variable scoring dependent on the player's location in the area: [[Nacrene City]] (accordion player), [[Icirrus City]] (clapping group walking in a circle), and [[Opelucid City]] (keytar/erhu player). If the player is in the area that the variable scoring is active, and flies or teleports to that same city or town, the variable scoring will be active until the music is changed, regardless of the player's location within the city or town.

He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br /> <br /> After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br /> <br /> Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br /> <br /> In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{ice color}}<br /> |bordercolor={{ice color dark}}<br />

He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]]. <br /> <br /> Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.<br /> <br /> Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}.

With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.<br /> <br /> Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[kami trio]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise.

<p>Castformrain: /* Introduced in Generation III */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Featured}}<br /> [[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[Version|main series]]]]<br /> [[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept]]<br /> A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a Trainer in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as Ash's Pikachu. <br /> <br /> The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.<br /> <br /> The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]] and the [[Devon Corporation]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them.<br /> <br /> Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as &quot;magical creatures&quot; (Japanese: '''魔獣''' ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until these devices allowed the various Pokémon to be stored easily. This also shows that in these times they were believed to be supernatural creatures, not natural ones.<br /> <br /> Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of both [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s bag prominently features a Poké Ball.<br /> <br /> ==Mechanics and design==<br /> [[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage and mechanics]]<br /> <br /> Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}. <br /> <br /> [[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]<br /> <br /> Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a &quot;Pokémon-friendly&quot; environment that is &quot;designed for comfort&quot;. All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. <br /> <br /> Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in bags.<br /> <br /> As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Dark Device]] and the [[Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.<br /> <br /> [[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}|thumb]]<br /> When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a bright light as it returns from its energy form, and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball that the Pokémon is contained in in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball. <br /> <br /> A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{Adv|Red}}'s battle against [[Giovanni]], where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.<br /> <br /> Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.<br /> <br /> Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is &quot;marked&quot; by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright.<br /> <br /> Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, [[Audrey]] could not release her {{p|Masquerain}} from the Poké Ball, claiming that the &quot;Poké Ball Management System&quot; was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.<br /> <br /> Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Poké Ball accuracy==<br /> Except for the [[Master Ball]], all Poké Balls have a chance of breaking and not capturing the Pokémon in question, however, in several cases, it is possible for the Poké Ball to miss the wild Pokémon completely.<br /> <br /> * In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating &quot;You missed the Pokémon!&quot;.<br /> * In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghosts}} in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.<br /> * A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]], unless one of the two wild Pokémon is defeated, with the game claiming &quot;It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!&quot;. A player can however snag Pokémon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field; presumably the [[Snag Machine]] assists in aiming.<br /> * Unlike preceding games, from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards, it isn't possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}}.<br /> * Pokémon Black and White introduces wild Double Battles that are encountered alone instead of with a partner like in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. In addition to the prior requirements, a command cannot be issued to a Pokémon during the same turn a Poké Ball is thrown; however, if the second Pokémon is using a two part move like Dig or Dive; a Poké Ball can still be thrown and Dig or Dive will continue if the ball fails.<br /> <br /> ===Capture chances===<br /> {{main|Catch rate}}<br /> <br /> ==Types of Poké Ball==<br /> [[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle begins in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]<br /> In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Ball, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.<br /> <br /> ===Introduced in Generation I===<br /> The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is not present in Generation II. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.<br /> <br /> {{Item<br /> |name=Poké Ball<br /> |jp=モンスターボール<br /> |jpt=Monster Ball<br /> |gen=I<br /> |bag=Poké Balls<br /> |buyable=yes<br /> |buy={{tt|200|10000 at Black City}}<br /> |sell=100<br /> |effect=Allows the {{player}} to catch [[wild Pokémon]].<br /> |effect2=Exchange twenty with a man in [[Anville Town]] for a [[Full Restore]].{{dotw|Saturday}}{{dotw|Sunday}}{{sup/5|BW}}&lt;br/&gt; Once per day, exchange one with a Roughneck in [[Virbank Complex]] for a [[#Great Ball|Great Ball]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}<br /> |catchrate=1×<br /> |descstad=A Ball thrown at wild Pokémon to catch them.<br /> |descgsc=An item for catching Pokémon.<br /> |descrse=A tool for catching wild Pokémon.<br /> |descfrlg=A ball thrown to catch a wild Pokémon.

These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.<br /> <br /> When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.<br /> <br /> In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).<br /> <br /> {{Item<br /> |name=Level Ball<br /> |jp=レベルボール<br /> |jpt=Level Ball<br /> |gen=II<br /> |bag=Poké Balls<br /> |sell=150<br /> |effect=Allows the {{player}} to catch [[wild Pokémon]];

While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Timer Ball and Fast Ball, Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.<br /> <br /> The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.<br /> <br /> These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].<br /> <br /> {{Item<br /> |name=Premier Ball<br /> |jp=プレミアボール<br /> |jpt=Premier Ball<br /> |gen=III<br /> |bag=Poké Balls<br /> |sell=100<br /> |effect=Allows the {{player}} to catch [[wild Pokémon]].<br /> |catchrate=1×<br /> |descrse=A rare ball made in commemoration of some event.<br /> |descfrlg=A rare Ball that has been specially made to commemorate an event of some sort.<br /> |descdppthgss=A somewhat rare Poké Ball that has been specially made to commemorate an event of some sort.<br /> |descbw=A somewhat rare Poké Ball that has been specially made to commemorate an event of some sort.<br /> |locrse=Any [[Poké Mart]] (buy 10 or more Poké Balls at once)<br /> |loccolo=[[Outskirt Stand]] (buy 10 or more Poké Balls at once)<br /> |locxd=Any [[Poké Mart]] (buy 10 or more Poké Balls at once)<br /> |locdppt=Any [[Poké Mart]] (buy 10 or more Poké Balls at once)<br /> |lochgss=Any [[Poké Mart]] (buy 10 or more Poké Balls at once)<br /> |locbw=Any [[Poké Mart]] (buy 10 or more Poké Balls at once)<br /> |locb2w2=Any [[Poké Mart]] (buy 10 or more Poké Balls at once)<br /> |tcg=Premier Ball (Great Encounters 101)<br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Item<br /> |name=Repeat Ball<br /> |jp=リピートボール<br /> |jpt=Repeat Ball<br /> |gen=III<br /> |bag=Poké Balls<br /> |buyable=yes<br /> |sell=500<br /> |effect=Allows the {{player}} to catch [[wild Pokémon]];

A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.<br /> <br /> Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.<br /> <br /> The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; afterward; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.<br /> <br /> The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in the anime, this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.<br /> [[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]<br /> Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received Fast Balls in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received Lure Balls. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock.<br /> <br /> The [[Master Ball#In the anime|Master Ball]] itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called &quot;[[Nero]]&quot;. Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.<br /> [[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]<br /> The Generation III specialty balls have only been seen in cameos, with only the Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appearing, in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.<br /> <br /> The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.<br /> <br /> Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.<br /> <br /> Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. This was again demonstrated in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.<br /> <br /> ===History===<br /> {{main|History of Poké Balls}}<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> &lt;gallery perrow=4&gt;<br /> File:Master Ball anime.png|The Master Ball<br /> File:Safari Ball anime.png|An early Safari Ball<br /> File:GS Ball anime.png|The [[GS Ball]]<br /> File:Fast Ball anime.png|Fast Balls<br /> File:Heavy Lure Balls anime.png|Two Lure Balls and a Heavy Ball<br /> File:Park Ball anime.png|A [[National Park|Park]] Ball<br /> File:Luxury Repeat Ball anime.png|A Luxury Ball and Repeat Ball<br /> File:Masked Marauder Dark Ball.png|A Dark Ball<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Kanto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP001|Poké Ball|Ash's Pokédex|While being {{pkmn|training|trained}}, a Pokémon usually stays inside its Poké Ball. However, there are many exceptions. Some Pokémon hate being confined.}}<br /> {{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br /> In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.<br /> <br /> ===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br /> In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle.<br /> <br /> It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> [[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br /> In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. It has also been shown that unlike the games, Pokémon placed in their balls recover from status conditions; however, like in the games, they do not recover health points. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> [[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]<br /> Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.<br /> <br /> * The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.<br /> * The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The [[Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)|Ultra Ball]] would make its actual first appearance, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the player's hand to search the player's deck for a Pokémon. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed &amp; LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed &amp; LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search of Pokémon to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have you instead search the top 7 cards of your deck for any 1 Pokémon card &amp; put it in your hand.<br /> * The [[Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)|Master Ball]], first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck.<br /> * Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.<br /> * Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.<br /> <br /> ==In the Super Smash Bros. series==<br /> The Pokémon series is represented in the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}} by a Poké Ball icon. The first two games show the Poké Ball with both halves and the center filled in, while the third goes with Generation IV's redesigned icon with only the top half filled in.<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Smash Bros Pokemon Symbol.png|The Pokémon series's symbol from ''SSB'' and ''Melee''<br /> File:Smash Bros Brawl Pokemon Symbol.png|The Pokémon series's symbol from ''Brawl''<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:SSBB Poke Ball.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]<br /> Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{p|Starmie}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes, and now the Pokémon released include Generation II Pokémon, with {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Celebi}} appearing. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing. In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon were added, and now {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, or {{p|Manaphy}} can be released from a Poké Ball that is thrown.<br /> <br /> Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.<br /> <br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===<br /> ''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''<br /> <br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===<br /> ''&quot;An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful.&quot;''<br /> <br /> ==Other variants==<br /> The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.<br /> <br /> ===In the games===<br /> * [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.<br /> * The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].<br /> * A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been &quot;unlocked&quot; by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already [[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.<br /> * Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter &quot;T&quot;.<br /> * In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Pester Ball.png|A Pester Ball<br /> File:Snag Ball.png|[[Wes]] about to throw a Great Ball turned into a Snag Ball<br /> File:Typing Ball.png|A Typing Ball<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> * A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.<br /> ** In addition to this; the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.<br /> * Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.<br /> * {{an|Mewtwo}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily as a means of capture of Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. One of these devices is notably the only Poké Ball that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has ever been seen being drawn into during the entire series. They have been called by several names by fans, such as &quot;Mewtwo Balls&quot; and &quot;Clone Balls&quot;.<br /> * [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.<br /> * A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.<br /> * Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.<br /> * The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.<br /> * As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.<br /> * In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the &quot;Stone Ball&quot;, a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.<br /> * In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the &quot;Fishing Poké Ball&quot;, was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery perrow=4&gt;<br /> File:Green Poké Ball anime.png|A green Poké Ball in ''[[EP001|Pokémon!

By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage. <br /> * [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into shuriken to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.<br /> * [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his Butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.<br /> * [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery perrow=4&gt;<br /> File:Bruno Nunchuck Poké Ball.png|Bruno's nunchuck with Poké Balls on them<br /> File:Koga Shuriken Poké Ball.png|Koga's Shuriken Poké Ball<br /> File:Bugsy Poké Ball net.png|Bugsy's Capture net<br /> File:Falkner Boomerang Poké Ball.png|Falkner's boomerang Poké Balls<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ===In the TCG===<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. Unlike others, no coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Magma Ball artwork.jpg|Team Magma Ball<br /> File:Aqua Ball artwork.jpg|Team Aqua Ball<br /> File:Rocket Ball artwork.jpg|Rocket's Poké Ball<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Items==<br /> {{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item}}<br /> [[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]<br /> [[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]<br /> In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where Ash accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.<br /> <br /> Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an [[Itemfinder]] or Dowsing Machine.<br /> <br /> ==Artwork==<br /> These are artwork of the items as seen in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot;

Poké Ball is worth 1 point, Great Ball 2, Ultra Ball 3 and [[Master Ball]] 5.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Furret's Frolic====<br /> &lt;gallery perrow=&quot;4&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Furret Frolic Poké Ball.png|Poké Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Great Ball.png|Great Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Ultra Ball.png|Ultra Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Master Ball.png|Master Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Poké Ball instructions.png|Poké Ball on instructions screen<br /> File:Furret Frolic Great Ball instructions.png|Great Ball on instructions screen<br /> File:Furret Frolic Ultra Ball instructions.png|Ultra Ball on instructions screen<br /> File:Furret Frolic Master Ball instructions.png|Master Ball on instructions screen<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can legitimately be in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. The Pokémon that come the closest are the {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Venonat}} families, as they are found in the wild in all five generations, and can be obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; the only Ball they cannot be legitimately contained in is the Cherish Ball, as they have not not been given out as an event Pokémon during Generation IV or V.<br /> * In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.<br /> * Many of the types of Poké Ball introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[friendship]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball which made its return in Generation III, the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.<br /> * In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the menu, rather than as two, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. This is due to the size limitation placed on the text by the [[Game Boy Color]]'s small screen. The Generation IV Park Ball does not have this issue, as [[Nintendo DS]] screens are wider and the font used is thinner.<br /> * In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.<br /> * Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.<br /> * In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.<br /> ** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.<br /> * Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.<br /> * Item description data for the Safari Ball in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White}} is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].<br /> * While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.<br /> ** The Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.<br /> ** In the anime, Mewtwo's &quot;Mewtwo Balls&quot;, seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, &quot;Mewtwo Balls&quot; automatically release the caught Pokémon.<br /> ** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.<br /> * While the Apricorn Balls and the Sport Ball exist in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are hacked into the bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.<br /> ** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br /> ** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the coding of Generation V, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br /> * The Premier Ball is the only variety of Poké Ball so far whose name approaches the character limit for item names.<br /> * In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.<br /> * Generation V introduced fewer types of Poké Balls than any other generation, only introducing one.<br /> * The Safari Ball has a catching animation programmed into Black and White despite not being legitimately able to be used, as there is no Safari Zone.<br /> * Both the Safari Ball and {{tt|Sport Ball|Park Ball in Generation II and the anime}} appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and [[EP161]], respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.<br /> * In [[Generation V]], {{m|Dive}} regained its [[Field move (main series)|field move]] status. However, since there are no wild Pokémon underwater in [[Unova]], the Dive Ball retained its new effect that boosts its catch rate while {{m|Surf}}ing or [[fishing]].<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Items}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Smash Bros.}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project ItemDex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Game mechanics]]<br /> [[Category:Equipment]]<br /> [[Category:Super Smash Bros.]]<br /> <br /> [[pt:Pokébola]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Pokéball]]<br /> [[es:Poké Ball]]<br /> [[fr:Pokéball]]<br /> [[it:Poké Ball]]<br /> [[ja:モンスターボール]]<br /> [[pl:Poké Ball]]</div>

He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br /> <br /> After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br /> <br /> Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br /> <br /> In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{ice color}}<br /> |bordercolor={{ice color dark}}<br />

He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]]. <br /> <br /> Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.<br /> <br /> Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. It was then that he revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the [[Icirrus Gym]], surprising everyone.<br /> <br /> Ash battled Brycen in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'' and won, earning him his seventh [[Unova]] Gym Badge.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Brycen<br /> |pkmn=Beartic<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |img=Brycen Beartic.png<br /> |epnum=BW078<br /> |epname=Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!<br /> |vajp=Unshō Ishizuka<br /> |vaen=Tom Wayland<br /> |desc={{p|Beartic}} is the first Pokémon Brycen was revealed to have on hand.

Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Dig}}. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}.<br /> <br /> As shown in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', Beartic has its own footprint at [[Pokéstar Studios]]'s Walk of Fame.<br /> <br /> Beartic's known moves are {{m|Brine}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Icicle Crash}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Brycen<br /> |pkmn=Vanillish<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |img=Brycen Vanillish.png<br /> |epnum=BW079<br /> |epname=Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!<br /> |vajp=Kiyotaka Furushima<br /> |vaen=Emily Jenness<br /> |desc={{p|Vanillish}} was the first Pokémon Brycen used against Ash in their Gym battle.

Scraggy found it difficult to work properly on an icy field, and was at first unable to land any hits. He was, however, able to block Vanillish's {{m|Icicle Spear}} with his &quot;pants&quot; before firing a {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.<br /> <br /> Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Kami trio]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture.<br /> <br /> Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone.

He is an expert in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Glacier}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him at his Gym.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> [[File:Gold Silver Pryce.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Pryce from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]<br /> Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the seventh Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region. A specialist of the {{type|Ice}}, Pryce is known as &quot;The Teacher of Winter's Harshness&quot;. Pryce is the oldest Gym Leader players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.<br /> <br /> Pryce's [[Mahogany Gym]] cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in [[Mahogany Town]]. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once [[Team Rocket]] has been defeated at their [[Team Rocket HQ|headquarters]] and the {{p|Gyarados}} at the nearby [[Lake of Rage]] have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the {{Badge|Glacier}}, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.<br /> <br /> Like all Gym Leaders in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his [[Pokégear]] phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].<br /> <br /> Pryce also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Like other Gym Leaders' teams in this game, he uses a variety of Pokémon not of his specialist type. Uniquely, Pryce uses a [[legendary Pokémon]]: the {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}====<br /> {{Party|color={{ice

He had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', and he was featured as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back. He believed it had abandoned him, and he grew bitter. He became more cold-hearted and believed that Pokémon are for battling and nothing more. Because of this, he refused to fight {{Ash}}, thinking him to be a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When Ash compelled him to a battle, Pryce finally accepted. Using his {{p|Dewgong}}, he beat [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] easily. <br /> <br /> [[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|Pryce in his youth]]<br /> Later when Ash again tried to talk Pryce into a battle, they stumbled onto a cave where they found Pryce's Piloswine frozen in ice. It had some plants that aided in the healing of burns. It was then that Pryce realized that Piloswine had gone in search of medicine for him, and only the snow storm trapping the Pokémon in ice prevented it from returning to him. Piloswine was defrosted and on being reunited with Piloswine, Pryce lost his cold-heartedness and became happy again. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Ash battled Pryce in a Gym battle. After a fierce battle, Pryce forfeited as his Piloswine became tired and he knew it would serve no purpose to keep going.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is for Pryce's Pokémon in the Pokémon anime:<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |trainer=Pryce<br /> |pkmn=Piloswine<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |type2=Ground<br /> |img=Pryce Piloswine.png<br /> |epnum=EP237<br /> |epname=As Cold as Pryce <br /> |vaen=Unshō Ishizuka <br /> |vajp=Unshō Ishizuka <br /> |desc=Pryce has owned his {{p|Piloswine}} ever since he was a young Trainer. After Pryce was hurt during a battle against a {{p|Magmar}}, Piloswine went looking for healing herbs, but was frozen on the way back. Years later, {{Ash}} and Pryce found it and freed it.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' Pryce used Piloswine during his Gym battle with Ash. It easily defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] and fought fiercely against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until Pryce forfeited as Piloswine was becoming tired, earning Ash the {{Badge|Glacier}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=no<br /> |trainer=Pryce<br /> |pkmn=Dewgong<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |type2=Ice<br /> |img=Pryce Dewgong.png<br /> |epnum=EP236<br /> |epname=Rage Of Innocence<br /> |vajp=Yūji Ueda<br /> |vaen=Michael Haigney<br /> |desc={{p|Dewgong}} is one of Pryce's main Pokémon.

The Sea Lion Pokémon was eventually defeated by Cyndaquil's {{m|Flamethrower}}.<br /> <br /> Dewgong's known moves are {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Aurora Beam}}, and {{m|Headbutt}}.}}<br /> <br /> ====In the Gym====<br /> This is a listing for Pryce's Pokémon in the Gym:<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Pryce<br /> |pkmn=Gym Pokémon<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |type2=Ice<br /> |img=Pryce Gym Pokémon.png<br /> |epnum=EP238<br /> |epname=Nice Pryce, Baby!<br /> |desc=Pryce was shown to have many {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Seel}} and {{p|Dewgong}} in his Gym.<br /> <br /> Their only known move is {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}<br /> <br /> ===Voice actors===<br /> {{vatable|color={{ice color}}|bordercolor={{ice color light}}<br /> |ja=清川元夢 ''Motomu Kiyokawa''&lt;br&gt;坂口候一 ''[[Kōichi Sakaguchi]]'' (young)<br /> |en=[[Carter Cathcart|Jimmy Zoppi]]<br /> |pl=Krzysztof Zakrzewski<br /> |es_la=César Arias&lt;br&gt;Carlos Hugo Hidalgo (young)<br /> |es_eu=Julio Núñez&lt;br&gt;Eduardo del Hoyo (young)<br /> |pt_br=Guilherme Lopes}}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> [[File:Pryce Adventures.png|right|thumb|Pryce in Pokémon Adventures]]<br /> Pryce is a frail man confined to a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his Gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack. That is how he simulated a battle against {{p|Suicune}} while fooling those who were invited over to watch, including [[Whitney]] and [[DJ Mary]].<br /> <br /> Despite his frailness, he is still the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and was thus automatically pitted against [[Erika]], who represented Kanto's Gym Leaders, in the exhibition match which he won.<br /> <br /> However, he has a sinister side&amp;mdash;he is also the criminal mastermind [[Masked Man]].<br /> <br /> He kidnapped {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Green}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]] ([[Will]] and [[Karen]] willingly joined him) when they were children. Pryce raised them to be his servants. Even though Green and Silver escaped, he continued to raise the other four as his slaves.<br /> <br /> Then, after {{adv|Giovanni}} disbanded [[Team Rocket]], he was able to recruit the now-leaderless Rocket Grunts as his underlings. Some came willingly; others were mind-controlled with masks.<br /> <br /> In his youth, Pryce had lost two of his {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche. He never got over the traumatic event, and it seemed to scar him emotionally.

He is an expert in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Glacier}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him at his Gym.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> [[File:Gold Silver Pryce.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Pryce from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]<br /> Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the seventh Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region. A specialist of the {{type|Ice}}, Pryce is known as &quot;The Teacher of Winter's Harshness&quot;. Pryce is the oldest Gym Leader players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.<br /> <br /> Pryce's [[Mahogany Gym]] cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in [[Mahogany Town]]. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once [[Team Rocket]] has been defeated at their [[Team Rocket HQ|headquarters]] and the {{p|Gyarados}} at the nearby [[Lake of Rage]] have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the {{Badge|Glacier}}, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.<br /> <br /> Like all Gym Leaders in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his [[Pokégear]] phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].<br /> <br /> Pryce also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Like other Gym Leaders' teams in this game, he uses a variety of Pokémon not of his specialist type. Uniquely, Pryce uses a [[legendary Pokémon]]: the {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}====<br /> {{Party|color={{ice

He had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', and he was featured as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''.<br /> <br /> In the anime, Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back. He believed it had abandoned him, and he grew bitter. He became more cold-hearted and believed that Pokémon are for battling and nothing more. Because of this, he refused to fight {{Ash}}, thinking him to be a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When Ash compelled him to a battle, Pryce finally accepted. Using his {{p|Dewgong}}, he beat [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] easily. <br /> <br /> [[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|Pryce in his youth]]<br /> Later when Ash again tried to talk Pryce into a battle, they stumbled onto a cave where they found Pryce's Piloswine frozen in ice. It had some plants that aided in the healing of burns. It was then that Pryce realized that Piloswine had gone in search of medicine for him, and only the snow storm trapping the Pokémon in ice prevented it from returning to him. Piloswine was defrosted and on being reunited with Piloswine, Pryce lost his cold-heartedness and became happy again. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Ash battled Pryce in a Gym battle. After a fierce battle, Pryce forfeited as his Piloswine became tired and he knew it would serve no purpose to keep going.<br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> This listing is for Pryce's Pokémon in the Pokémon anime:<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |trainer=Pryce<br /> |pkmn=Piloswine<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |type2=Ground<br /> |img=Pryce Piloswine.png<br /> |epnum=EP237<br /> |epname=As Cold as Pryce <br /> |vaen=Unshō Ishizuka <br /> |vajp=Unshō Ishizuka <br /> |desc=Pryce has owned his {{p|Piloswine}} ever since he was a young Trainer.

Years later, {{Ash}} and Pryce found it and freed it.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' Pryce used Piloswine during his Gym battle with Ash. It easily defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] and fought fiercely against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until Pryce forfeited as Piloswine was becoming tired, earning Ash the {{Badge|Glacier}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=no<br /> |trainer=Pryce<br /> |pkmn=Dewgong<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |type2=Ice<br /> |img=Pryce Dewgong.png<br /> |epnum=EP236<br /> |epname=Rage Of Innocence<br /> |vajp=Yūji Ueda<br /> |vaen=Michael Haigney<br /> |desc={{p|Dewgong}} is one of Pryce's main Pokémon.

He rarely leaves his Gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack. That is how he simulated a battle against {{p|Suicune}} while fooling those who were invited over to watch, including [[Whitney]] and [[DJ Mary]].<br /> <br /> Despite his frailness, he is still the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and was thus automatically pitted against [[Erika]], who represented Kanto's Gym Leaders, in the exhibition match which he won.<br /> <br /> However, he has a sinister side&amp;mdash;he is also the criminal mastermind [[Masked Man]].<br /> <br /> He kidnapped {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Green}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]] ([[Will]] and [[Karen]] willingly joined him) when they were children. Pryce raised them to be his servants. Even though Green and Silver escaped, he continued to raise the other four as his slaves.<br /> <br /> Then, after {{adv|Giovanni}} disbanded [[Team Rocket]], he was able to recruit the now-leaderless Rocket Grunts as his underlings. Some came willingly; others were mind-controlled with masks.<br /> <br /> In his youth, Pryce had lost two of his {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche. He never got over the traumatic event, and it seemed to scar him emotionally. He stopped at nothing to gain {{p|Celebi}}'s power so that he could travel through time and be reunited with his Pokémon.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, the power of Celebi's time travel almost caused the world to freeze over. Apparently, time travel causes temperatures to plummet. {{adv|Gold}} followed Pryce through time and his {{p|Pichu}} destroyed the [[GS Ball]], freeing Celebi.<br /> <br /> Pryce vanished in the time vortex, and for several years, his fate was unknown.<br /> <br /> Pryce finally reappears once again several years later alongside [[Giovanni]] and [[Lance]]. It is currently unknown what happened to him inside the time vortex or how he escaped.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> This listing is for Pryce's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Pryce<br /> |pkmn=Seel (×2)<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |img=Pryce Seel Adventures.png<br /> |epnum=PS143<br /> |epname=Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa<br /> |desc=Pryce's two {{p|Seel}} were seen as his pets.<br /> <br /> Although it is not explicitly stated which moves they know, Pryce commands them to animate his ice statues while he is training by rapidly freezing and defrosting them.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Pryce<br /> |pkmn=Swinub<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |type2=Ground<br /> |img=Pryce Swinub Adventures.png<br /> |epnum=PS144<br /> |epname=Savvy Swinub<br /> |desc={{p|Swinub}} was used to assist Whitney in battling Suicune.

She hands out the {{Badge|Icicle}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Candice uses {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the {{Badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and will be able to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.<br /> <br /> She later allows the player entry into the [[Snowpoint Temple]], and, in {{v2|Platinum}}, will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]].<br /> <br /> In Platinum, [[Maylene]] mentions in Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]] that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the {{type|Fighting}} because of it being a weakness of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br />

Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a Gym battle, where her {{p|Snover}} double-KO'd with [[Platinum's Empoleon]], and her {{p|Froslass}} took over to fight [[Platinum's Rapidash]]. At first, the newly evolved Fire Horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective {{t|Ice}} attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the Gym Badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect {{p|Uxie}} at [[Lake Acuity]]. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} and deal massive damage on the {{m|Rest|sleeping}} Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, {{p|Lopunny}}, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.<br /> <br /> Afterwards, she awarded Platinum the Icicle Badge, and the two traveled together to Lake Acuity with [[Maylene]] to protect Uxie, only to be promptly defeated by [[Jupiter]]'s superior brawn and tactics. She later called Byron and told him to send them someone to train them in so that they can become stronger. After some difficulty with their new Trainer, Volkner, Platinum managed to convince him to train them. At the Spear Pillar she, along with Maylene, fought Jupiter a second time, this time defeating her. She along with her fellow Gym Leaders fought Cyrus and managed to break his Red Chain but brought upon themselves the wrath of Cyrus with it and were defeated.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Candice<br /> |pkmn=Abomasnow<br /> |gender=female<br /> |type1=Grass<br /> |type2=Ice<br /> |img=Candice Abomasnow Adventures.png<br /> |epnum=PS386<br /> |epname=Disagreeable Graveler<br /> |desc={{p|Abomasnow}} is one of Candice's main Pokémon.

She first successfully hit the Rabbit Pokémon with an {{m|Ice Shard}}, but it could stand it.

After switching with Abomasnow, and the latter being defeated, she went against Lopunny, and stopped its jumping strategy and defeated it, but just before she could claim victory, she was defeated by Rapidash who had it energy restored by Lopunny's {{m|Healing Wish}}, earning Platinum the battle.

Candice sends out all three of her golems. She uses Regice and Regirock in a Double Battle. Candice was a tough opponent that Hareta faced as her golems's {{a|Clear Body|Ability}} negated {{p|Luxio}}'s {{a|Intimidate}}. In the midst of the battle, her Regirock buries Hareta's {{p|Riolu}} in an avalanche. However, just when Candice was about to walk away, Riolu [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Lucario}} and defeats both of her golems single-handedly. After the battle, Candice takes Hareta to the Snowpoint Temple.

She hands out the {{Badge|Icicle}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Candice uses {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the {{Badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and will be able to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.<br /> <br /> She later allows the player entry into the [[Snowpoint Temple]], and, in {{v2|Platinum}}, will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]].<br /> <br /> In Platinum, [[Maylene]] mentions in Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]] that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the {{type|Fighting}} because of it being a weakness of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br />

Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a Gym battle, where her {{p|Snover}} double-KO'd with [[Platinum's Empoleon]], and her {{p|Froslass}} took over to fight [[Platinum's Rapidash]]. At first, the newly evolved Fire Horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective {{t|Ice}} attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the Gym Badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect {{p|Uxie}} at [[Lake Acuity]]. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} and deal massive damage on the {{m|Rest|sleeping}} Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, {{p|Lopunny}}, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.<br /> <br /> Afterwards, she awarded Platinum the Icicle Badge, and the two traveled together to Lake Acuity with [[Maylene]] to protect Uxie, only to be promptly defeated by [[Jupiter]]'s superior brawn and tactics. She later called Byron and told him to send them someone to train them in so that they can become stronger. After some difficulty with their new Trainer, Volkner, Platinum managed to convince him to train them. At the Spear Pillar she, along with Maylene, fought Jupiter a second time, this time defeating her. She along with her fellow Gym Leaders fought Cyrus and managed to break his Red Chain but brought upon themselves the wrath of Cyrus with it and were defeated.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Candice<br /> |pkmn=Abomasnow<br /> |gender=female<br /> |type1=Grass<br /> |type2=Ice<br /> |img=Candice Abomasnow Adventures.png<br /> |epnum=PS386<br /> |epname=Disagreeable Graveler<br /> |desc={{p|Abomasnow}} is one of Candice's main Pokémon.

In the midst of the battle, her Regirock buries Hareta's {{p|Riolu}} in an avalanche. However, just when Candice was about to walk away, Riolu [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Lucario}} and defeats both of her golems single-handedly.

She hands out the {{Badge|Icicle}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Candice uses {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the {{Badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and will be able to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.<br /> <br /> She later allows the player entry into the [[Snowpoint Temple]], and, in {{v2|Platinum}}, will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]].<br /> <br /> In Platinum, [[Maylene]] mentions in Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]] that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the {{type|Fighting}} because of it being a weakness of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br />

Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a Gym battle, where her {{p|Snover}} double-KO'd with [[Platinum's Empoleon]], and her {{p|Froslass}} took over to fight [[Platinum's Rapidash]]. At first, the newly evolved Fire Horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective {{t|Ice}} attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the Gym Badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect {{p|Uxie}} at [[Lake Acuity]]. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} and deal massive damage on the {{m|Rest|sleeping}} Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, {{p|Lopunny}}, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.<br /> <br /> Afterwards, she awarded Platinum the Icicle Badge, and the two traveled together to Lake Acuity with [[Maylene]] to protect Uxie, only to be promptly defeated by [[Jupiter]]'s superior brawn and tactics. She later called Byron and told him to send them someone to train them in so that they can become stronger. After some difficulty with their new Trainer, Volkner, Platinum managed to convince him to train them. At the Spear Pillar she, along with Maylene, fought Jupiter a second time, this time defeating her. She along with her fellow Gym Leaders fought Cyrus and managed to break his Red Chain but brought upon themselves the wrath of Cyrus with it and were defeated.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon====<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Candice<br /> |pkmn=Abomasnow<br /> |gender=female<br /> |type1=Grass<br /> |type2=Ice<br /> |img=Candice Abomasnow Adventures.png<br /> |epnum=PS386<br /> |epname=Disagreeable Graveler<br /> |desc={{p|Abomasnow}} is one of Candice's main Pokémon.

She first successfully hit the Rabbit Pokémon with an {{m|Ice Shard}}, but it could stand it.

He specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].<br /> <br /> After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].<br /> <br /> Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.<br /> <br /> In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ===={{game|Black and White|s}}====<br /> {{Party<br /> |color={{ice color}}<br /> |bordercolor={{ice color dark}}<br />

He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]]. <br /> <br /> Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.<br /> <br /> Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. It was then that he revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the [[Icirrus Gym]], surprising everyone.<br /> <br /> Ash battled Brycen in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'' and won, earning him his seventh [[Unova]] Gym Badge.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Brycen<br /> |pkmn=Beartic<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |img=Brycen Beartic.png<br /> |epnum=BW078<br /> |epname=Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!<br /> |vajp=Unshō Ishizuka<br /> |vaen=Tom Wayland<br /> |desc={{p|Beartic}} is the first Pokémon Brycen was revealed to have on hand.

Scraggy found it difficult to work properly on an icy field, and was at first unable to land any hits. He was, however, able to block Vanillish's {{m|Icicle Spear}} with his &quot;pants&quot; before firing a {{m|Focus Blast}}.

Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.<br /> <br /> Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Kami trio]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture.<br /> <br /> Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone.

<p>Castformrain: /* List of questions */</p> <hr /> <div>{{incomplete|needs=images}}<br /> '''''Pokémon Trainer's Choice''''' is a feature from the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Starting from ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', ''Trainer's Choice'' was the lead-in to the mid-show advertisement break. It replaced the [[original series]]'s ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''. It was not used in the original Japanese version of the anime; instead, a simple [[eyecatch]] was shown. The final ''Trainer's Choice'' aired with ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]''. It was not replaced with a similar feature.<br /> <br /> ''Trainer's Choice'' follows a simple concept. Rather than recognizing the silhouette of a Pokémon, viewers are asked a question about a Pokémon and instructed to choose the best of three possible answers, usually over a commercial break when watched on TV. Generally, the viewer is asked to determine which Pokémon has a [[damage modification|type advantage]] over another; although other questions have been asked for. The feature is guided by [[Ash Ketchum]].<br /> <br /> When {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}} and [[TAJ Productions]] began dubbing the series, Trainer's Choice production ceased.<br /> <br /> [[File:PokémonTrainersChoice Seviper.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}?]]<br /> As the successor to the long-running &quot;Who's That Pokémon?&quot;, Trainer's Choice was initially met with criticism from some of the fandom, especially considering the change was in the middle of a newly-started saga. [[4Kids Entertainment]] very frequently made Pokémon [[type]] match-up errors, resulting in many incorrect answers given, questions with multiple correct answers, questions with no possible correct answer and questions with no right or wrong answer at all. The company also frequently made spelling errors in the names of Pokémon. These constant mistakes were seen by many as an indication that 4Kids in actuality knew very little about the franchise. The most famous example is their erroneous claim that {{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}, featured in the Trainer's Choice of ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]''; the Trainer's Choice scene in particular is a source of ridicule by many fans.<br /> <br /> In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', the creation of questions for Trainer's Choice was credited to Lawrence Neves and the accuracy rate was greatly improved. Starting with ''Advanced Battle'', the questions did not involve any relevance on another Pokémon. The question themes included best battle choice, evolutions, and others.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==List of questions==<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;background:#{{colorschemelight|Hoenn}}; border:#{{colorschemedark|Hoenn}} 2px solid; {{roundy|15px}};&quot; <br /> |-<br /> !

<p>Castformrain: /* Comparisons */</p> <hr /> <div>{{incomplete}}&lt;!--This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.--&gt;<br /> '''Villainous teams''' (English: Team ~; Japanese: ～団 ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal organizations}} which form the core of the storyline of [[Pokémon games]]. There are five in the [[main series]] as of [[Generation V]]: [[Team Rocket]], found in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]] and the remakes of both generations; [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], found in the [[Generation III]] main games; [[Team Galactic]], found in the [[Generation IV]] main games; and finally [[Team Plasma]] of the [[Generation V]] games. Six villainous teams have appeared so far in the various [[side series]] games: [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]; the [[Go-Rock Squad]] of {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}; Teams [[Team Dim Sun|Dim Sun]] and [[Team Debonairs|Debonairs]] of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}; and the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] of {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}. Whatever their goals are in their respective games, the one thing they all have in common is that they achieve their results through the misuse of Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ==Comparisons==<br /> While [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), the other known villainous teams Team Aqua, Team Magma, as well as Team Plasma have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. Cipher and Team Snagem work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them, while the leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]] (later missing), [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Cyrus]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]] respectively. <br /> <br /> Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], including running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering [[Marowak|at least one Pokémon]]. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue unhindered, as if they were above the law. <br /> <br /> By [[Generation II]], they have lost most of their power and attempted to re-group in the [[Johto]]. They initially managed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], only to be defeated by the [[player character|player]], forcing [[Team Rocket]] to disband yet again. &lt;!--(Analysis?)--&gt;<br /> <br /> In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s crimes are more extreme, including stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.<br /> <br /> Like Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foils them.<br /> <br /> [[Team Plasma]] appears to work in a more mysterious attitude, especially their leader, [[N]]. Their goal is unlike the other villainous teams, not abusing Pokémon, but separating humans and Pokémon, comparing Pokémon under a Trainer's command to slaves. (They believe that liberation will actually ''help'' the Pokémon.)<br /> <br /> The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the manga [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br /> <br /> ==Main series==<br /> ===[[Team Rocket]]===<br /> [[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket Grunts]]<br /> Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red &quot;R&quot; as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling Fossils. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in Saffron City. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.<br /> <br /> Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the Sevii Islands until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.<br /> <br /> For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the Johto region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off Slowpoke tails and selling them at outrageous prices).<br /> <br /> As the [[Johto]] Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the Magikarp at the Lake of Rage, causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by Lance, Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide and contact their leader, Giovanni.<br /> <br /> Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and come back to lead. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Meanwhile, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fights Giovanni while the other watches the fight. He then vanishes after the fight and Ethan and Lyra return to their time.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> =====Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> {{incomplete|section|HGSS arc}}<br /> Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.<br /> <br /> Contrary to the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant, with a few exceptions. In the {{chap|Red, Green &amp; Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga. <br /> <br /> For a short time, [[Blaine]] too worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket affiliated at some point in their life.<br /> <br /> As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways.

At this point his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents.

They have a stylized &quot;M&quot;, appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> They are led by [[Maxie]]. In Pokémon Ruby their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in the [[Oceanic Museum]] in [[Slateport City]], attempting to steal [[Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt and expand the land. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where they encounter them alongside Admin, [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], looking for information about the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Groudon}}, and [[Castform]]. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built, and travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Blue Orb to awaken Groudon.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> =====Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> Team Magma is led by [[Maxie]].<br /> Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Groudon}} and increase the landmass in the Hoenn region.<br /> <br /> There are three Executives, known as the Three Fires of Team Magma, which can be considered a parallel not only to the SSS of Team Aqua, but also the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one of the Three Fires of Team Magma goes her own way, in this example, it is Marge, who decides to help {{adv|Ruby}} stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} rather than further the cause of Groudon, as the Team's principal aim is. The Three Fires of Team Magma are more distinct from each other than the SSS of Team Aqua, because they all have an individual way of using fire. Marge's is the most straight forward, she simply aims to burn things, Mitch uses smoke to hide his movements and Mack uses heat to cause his victims to hallucinate, oddly, he seems to be able to control these hallucinations.<br /> <br /> Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a Legendary Pokémon and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and acquisition of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Galactic]]===<br /> [[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|right|Galactic Grunts]]<br /> Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter &quot;G&quot; (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, this team's leader (named [[Cyrus]]) wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> [[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, they commented that they (Team Rocket) did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tries to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> <br /> =====In Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> <br /> =====In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=====<br /> Like in the games, the team is led [[Cyrus]]. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but was possible that the [[Commander]]s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader, since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of the life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] becomes the new leader and tried to capture [[Heatran]]. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.<br /> <br /> One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Plasma]]===<br /> [[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White]]<br /> [[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|right|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]<br /> Team Plasma is the Villainous team of the Unova region. The grunts wear a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wear robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his father, [[Ghetsis]]. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After capturing the other Legendary Pokémon and defeating N, Ghetsis comes out and battles the player himself. After defeating him, [[Looker]] will ask the player to round up the Seven Sages and after that is done Team Plasma is officially disbanded.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by Ghetsis. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Plasma's debut episodes were postponed indefinitely due to earthquakes in Japan. So, at this point in time, Team Plasma has yet to appear in the anime.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> <br /> ==Side series==<br /> ===[[Cipher]]===<br /> [[File:Cipher Peon XD1.png|thumb|A Cipher Peon]]<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} this group aims to turn every Pokémon in the world into [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Their leader in Colosseum was [[Mayor Es Cade|Evice]] and their leader in XD: Gale of Darkness was [[Greevil]].<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Everything associated with Orre does not appear as in the anime. Due to the connection between [[Shadow Pokémon]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s, it would not be surprising if this team were based on him.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Snagem]]===<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD this team tries to steal every Pokémon in the world using their special device, the [[Snag Machine]].

They harass the player and their partner many times, including stealing their personal rescue missions and attacking them. Eventually, the player has to rescue one of the members, and the leader of the team asks for help.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Meanies appeared in the Mystery Dungeon anime short, ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. Like in the games, they are the enemy team to [[Team Go-Getters]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> ===[[Team Skull]]===<br /> [[File:Team Skull art.png|thumb|Team Skull]]<br /> ====In the games====<br /> They are a team of Pokémon in the second pair of Mystery Dungeon games. It is made up of {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Koffing}}, and {{P|Zubat}}. They frequently harass the player's team, until [[Brine Cave]],&lt;!--I think--&gt; where Skuntank is injured.

<p>Castformrain: /* Comparisons */</p> <hr /> <div>{{incomplete}}&lt;!--This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.--&gt;<br /> '''Villainous teams''' (English: Team ~; Japanese: ～団 ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal organizations}} which form the core of the storyline of [[Pokémon games]]. There are five in the [[main series]] as of [[Generation V]]: [[Team Rocket]], found in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]] and the remakes of both generations; [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], found in the [[Generation III]] main games; [[Team Galactic]], found in the [[Generation IV]] main games; and finally [[Team Plasma]] of the [[Generation V]] games. Six villainous teams have appeared so far in the various [[side series]] games: [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]; the [[Go-Rock Squad]] of {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}; Teams [[Team Dim Sun|Dim Sun]] and [[Team Debonairs|Debonairs]] of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}; and the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] of {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}. Whatever their goals are in their respective games, the one thing they all have in common is that they achieve their results through the misuse of Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ==Comparisons==<br /> While [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), the other known villainous teams Team Aqua, Team Magma, as well as Team Plasma have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. Cipher and Team Snagem work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them, while the leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]] (later missing), [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[N and Ghetsis]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Cyrus]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]] respectively. <br /> <br /> Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], including running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering [[Marowak|at least one Pokémon]]. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue unhindered, as if they were above the law. <br /> <br /> By [[Generation II]], they have lost most of their power and attempted to re-group in the [[Johto]]. They initially managed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], only to be defeated by the [[player character|player]], forcing [[Team Rocket]] to disband yet again. &lt;!--(Analysis?)--&gt;<br /> <br /> In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s crimes are more extreme, including stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.<br /> <br /> Like Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foils them.<br /> <br /> [[Team Plasma]] appears to work in a more mysterious attitude, especially their leader, [[N]]. Their goal is unlike the other villainous teams, not abusing Pokémon, but separating humans and Pokémon, comparing Pokémon under a Trainer's command to slaves. (They believe that liberation will actually ''help'' the Pokémon.)<br /> <br /> The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the manga [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br /> <br /> ==Main series==<br /> ===[[Team Rocket]]===<br /> [[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket Grunts]]<br /> Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red &quot;R&quot; as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].<br /> ====In the games====<br /> In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling Fossils. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in Saffron City. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.<br /> <br /> Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the Sevii Islands until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.<br /> <br /> For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the Johto region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off Slowpoke tails and selling them at outrageous prices).<br /> <br /> As the [[Johto]] Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the Magikarp at the Lake of Rage, causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by Lance, Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide and contact their leader, Giovanni.<br /> <br /> Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and come back to lead. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Meanwhile, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fights Giovanni while the other watches the fight. He then vanishes after the fight and Ethan and Lyra return to their time.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.<br /> <br /> ====In the manga====<br /> =====Pokémon Adventures=====<br /> {{incomplete|section|HGSS arc}}<br /> Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.<br /> <br /> Contrary to the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant, with a few exceptions. In the {{chap|Red, Green &amp; Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga. <br /> <br /> For a short time, [[Blaine]] too worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket affiliated at some point in their life.<br /> <br /> As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket.<br /> <br /> In the {{chap|FireRed &amp; LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the three Beasts of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling (as Rockets), those being Orm and Sird, while the other, Carr, goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it. It is unclear what Team Rocket's fate are at the end of this arc, but with the members in disarray, it is most likely that it dissolved.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Aqua]]===<br /> [[File:Ruby Sapphire Team Aqua Grunts.png|thumb|Team Aqua Grunts]]<br /> They wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits.

Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Kyogre}} and increase the sea in the Hoenn region.<br /> There are three Executives, known as the SSS of Team Aqua, which can be considered a parallel not only to the Three Fires of Team Magma, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one member of the SSS of Team Aqua went his own way, but rather than leaving Team Aqua, it was rejoining after being kicked out.<br /> <br /> Team Aqua and Team Magma are presented more individually in Adventures than in any other medium.

Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a Legendary Pokémon and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and acquisition of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Galactic]]===<br /> [[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|right|Galactic Grunts]]<br /> Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts.

[[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.<br /> <br /> One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.<br /> <br /> ===[[Team Plasma]]===<br /> [[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White]]<br /> [[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|right|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]<br /> Team Plasma is the Villainous team of the Unova region. The grunts wear a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wear robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his father, [[Ghetsis]]. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.<br /> <br /> ====In the games====<br /> Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After capturing the other Legendary Pokémon and defeating N, Ghetsis comes out and battles the player himself. After defeating him, [[Looker]] will ask the player to round up the Seven Sages and after that is done Team Plasma is officially disbanded.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by Ghetsis. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ====In the anime====<br /> Team Plasma's debut episodes were postponed indefinitely due to earthquakes in Japan.
