The '''time machine''' (Japanese: '''タイムマシン''' ''time machine'') is a large device created by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} 10 years prior to the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, located in [[Area Zero]]'s [[Zero Lab]]. It plays an important role in the main game and is mentioned in its [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] expansion.

The machine was built within a dome made of [[Tera Shard|Tera crystals]] within the Zero Lab. It was powered by {{p|Terapagos}}'s energy and used to bring Pokémon known as [[Paradox Pokémon]] to the modern world [[Time travel|through time and space]]. The professor from the past claims these Pokémon could come from parallel timelines, while their AI copy claims they come from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}. This energy was later used by the professor to create a device called the [[Tera Orb]] and a robotic replica of themselves. The professor named this energy the [[Terastal energy]].

==History==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
[[File:SV Time Machine Controls.png|thumb|250px|The machine's controls]]
The time machine was only created thanks to a [[Briar's Book|white book]] given to Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} by a {{Player|child}} in an [[Kitakami|unfamiliar place]] to them, later on, it was used to bring out the very first Paradox Pokémon, Winged King{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Serpent{{sup/9|V}}, who would be later renamed as {{ga|Koraidon}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}. Over the next 10 years, the time machine kept bringing Paradox Pokémon to Area Zero automatically, amongst them, a new, way more aggressive {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. At some point, the professor created a program named the '''Paradise Protection Protocol''', which was programmed to take over their AI counterpart and defend the time machine at any cost if necessary, including killing the ones threatening it.
[[File:SV Time Machine Deactivated.png|thumb|left|250px|The time machine after being turned off]]
In the present day, AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/AI Turo{{sup/9|V}} tasks the player with traveling to the bottom of Area Zero so they can turn the time machine off since they can't do it themselves due to their programming. Once there, the player uses the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} to deactivate the time machine, but the program takes over the AI. The time machine then activates and drops out a [[Master Ball]] with a newly caught {{p|Slither Wing}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Moth}}{{sup/9|V}} inside. It forces the AI to fight the player and stop them from deactivating the time machine. After their defeat, [[Arven]], [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] arrive in the time machine room, witnessing the AI regaining control of itself, right before the Paradise Protection Protocol is activated, locking all [[Poké Ball]]s in the room, except for the ones registered to Sada's{{sup/9|S}}/Turo's{{sup/9|V}} ID, and sending out their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to battle.

The player, however, uses their own Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to fight off the other one. Using {{Tera}}stallization, they manage to beat the other Legendary Paradox Pokémon and stop the program. After apologizing to Arven for leaving him alone for so long, the AI Professor makes a decision; since the time machine wouldn't turn off while they are present, they decide to use it to send themselves away into the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} they've dreamed of. After telling the children their goodbyes, the AI activates the time machine one last time and travels away with the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} in hand, deactivating the time machine for good and saving [[Paldea]] as a result.

When the player returns to Area Zero to find {{p|Terapagos}} with [[Briar]], [[Carmine]], and [[Kieran]] during [[The Indigo Disk]] expansion, they use the [[Indigo Disk]] on it, opening the lab's doors and redirect the facility's elevator to the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], rendering the deactivated time machine room inaccessible.

==Trivia==
* The background of the time machine during the final battle with the AI Professor is different depending on the version. In Scarlet, it is colored red, while in Violet, it is colored purple.
* The time machine shares some similarities with [[AZ]]'s [[ultimate weapon]]:
** They were both built by [[human]]s who wanted to use them for their own selfish desires, but not exactly for evil means.
** They're both powerful machines that posed a huge threat to their respective [[region]]s; [[Paldea]] for the time machine and [[Kalos]] for the ultimate weapon.
** They're both powered up by energy connected to their respective regions' [[Legendary Pokémon]]; {{p|Terapagos}} and its [[Terastal energy]] for the time machine, and {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and their [[Infinity Energy]] for the ultimate weapon.

Paradox Pokémon

2024-02-18T01:28:00Z

Dingus99Boom: /* Trivia */ Trivia mentioned Generation II having seven paradox counterparts and therefore the most (Legendary Beasts, two Donphans, Flutter Mane, and Iron Bundle), but I added Generation V as well because it also has seven counterparts (Swords of Justice, two Volcaronas, Brute Bonnet, and Iron Jugulis).

'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups: one appearing in Pokémon Scarlet resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon, and one appearing in Pokémon Violet resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They are all [[gender unknown]] and unable to [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], and — with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} — their names do not follow regular Pokémon naming conventions. All of them [[List of categories by abundance|share the category]] of "{{pkmn|category|Paradox Pokémon}}".

They are also known as '''unidentified creatures''',<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ </ref> '''Monsters of Area Zero'''<ref>[[Scarlet Book]] and [[Violet Book]]</ref> (Japanese: '''エリアゼロの{{ruby|怪物|かいぶつ}}''' ''Monsters of Area Zero''), and '''Enigmas of Paldea'''<ref>https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Magazines_in_the_Pokémon_world#Occulture</ref> (Japanese: '''パルデア{{ruby|未確認|みかくにん}}''') by researchers and {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine articles, respectively. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} are the head researchers on the Paradox Pokémon. The professors also refer to the Paradox Pokémon as '''ancient Pokémon'''{{sup/9|S}}/'''future Pokémon'''{{sup/9|V}}. The precise origin of the Paradox Pokémon is unclear; AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/AI Turo{{sup/9|V}} claims that they originate from different points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient/futuristic form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> (specifically the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}), while a Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} brought to the [[Crystal Pool]] by {{p|Terapagos}} suggests that they are from [[Pokémon multiverse|different timelines]].<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> The latter explanation seems more accurate, since the original Japanese script alludes to this notion in AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/AI Turo{{sup/9|V}}'s dialogue.<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"(てんそう) モンスターボールを転送し (つか) (こと) (じかんじく) 異なる時間軸のポケモンを捕まえて (げんだい) (よ) 現代へと呼びだすことができる"'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> They were apparently brought to [[Area Zero]] in the present day by the [[time machine]] built by the professors, but the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} documents sightings of them prior to the time machine being built. Terapagos appears to have a connection to the Paradox Pokémon's appearance in the present day due to the [[Terastal energy]] it produces.

==List of Paradox Pokémon==
As a group, Paradox Pokémon share multiple similarities with one another, including a [[Base stats|base stat]] total of either 570, 590, or 670, sharing {{Abilities}} related to either [[harsh sunlight]] or {{m|Electric Terrain}}, and having two [[type]]s.

====Ancient Pokémon====
These Pokémon look like ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Protosynthesis}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Koraidon}}, which has {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of [[harsh sunlight]] in battle. All ancient Pokémon share a unique whistle-like sound frequency in their cries.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition.
* Leading theories hold that this being is nothing less than a living relic of the dinosaur era, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Great Tusk after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Scarlet Book.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* Sightings of this Pokémon have occurred in recent years. The name Great Tusk was taken from a creature listed in a certain book.
* This creature resembles a mysterious Pokémon that, according to a paranormal magazine, has lived since ancient times.

* Somewhere in a Paldean forest, it's said, lurks Scream Tail—a being with Jigglypuff's own endearing puffball appearance but also a ferocious aggression that leads it to attack anyone who comes near.
* Its primitive appearance and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago. It's named after a creature in the Scarlet Book that is described as having a distinctive tail and scream.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* There has been only one reported sighting of this Pokémon. It resembles a mysterious creature depicted in an old expedition journal.
* It resembles a mysterious Pokémon described in a paranormal magazine as a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago.

| {{typecolor|Grass}}{{typecolor|Dark}}
| style="text-align: left" | '''Brute Bonnet: Amoonguss Meets Dinosaur?'''
* This bizarre creature is said to combine traits of dinosaurs with those of the Pokémon Amoonguss. It's named after a fierce mushroom creature of matching description that appears in the renowned Scarlet Book.
* Brute Bonnet certainly resembles Amoonguss, though with its own unique twists: its gigantic stature and seemingly low intelligence combine to make it a savage, powerful fighter.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* It is possible that the creature listed as Brute Bonnet in a certain book could actually be this Pokémon.
* It bears a slight resemblance to a Pokémon described in a dubious magazine as a cross between a dinosaur and a mushroom.

* Flutter Mane—a name taken from a strange creature with a matching description appearing in the Scarlet Book—is said to float around the sky at night with its long hair writhing about it.
* Eyewitness accounts describe it as resembling a giant Misdreavus at first glance, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one. Some believe that it's a ghost of a pterosaur from a long-gone era.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* This Pokémon has characteristics similar to those of Flutter Mane, a creature mentioned in a certain book.
* It has similar features to a ghostly pterosaur that was covered in a paranormal magazine, but the two have little else in common.

* There have been precious few sightings reported of the ultra-mysterious Slither Wing, a being whose name is taken from that of a similar-seeming creature described in the ever-puzzling Scarlet Book.
* Slither Wing shares traits with Volcarona, so some theorize that it may have been revived from fossils from a prehistoric era that we have discussed in these pages. However, no Volcarona fossils of that era are known to have been found.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* This mysterious Pokémon has some similarities to a creature that an old book introduced as Slither Wing.
* This Pokémon somewhat resembles an ancient form of Volcarona that was introduced in a dubious magazine.

* Some scientists claim that this mysterious being is a Magneton that has lived for 10 thousand years. It has been sighted numerous times in Paldea's more arid regions, but there are no reports of it ever having been caught.
* It's said that Sandy Shocks is an aggressive sort and that some people who've seen it have been attacked as well. It takes its name from a beast with a matching description in the era-defining Scarlet Book.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* No records exist of this Pokémon being caught. Data is lacking, but the Pokémon’s traits match up with a creature shown in an expedition journal.
* It slightly resembles a Magneton that lived for 10,000 years and was featured in an article in a paranormal magazine.

| {{typecolor|Dragon}}{{typecolor|Dark}}
| style="text-align: left" | '''Roaring Moon: A Primeval Salamence?!'''
* This elusive creature is called Roaring Moon after a similarly described being in the Scarlet Book. It looks similar to Salamence when they undergo [[Mega Evolution|a certain phenomenon elsewhere in the world]], but it's unclear if there is any connection.
* This creature scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence, and if you should encounter one, it's imperative that you avoid actual contact.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* It is possible that this is the creature listed as Roaring Moon in an expedition journal that still holds many mysteries.
* According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region.

* This seems to be the Winged King mentioned in an old expedition journal. It was said to have split the land with its bare fists.

====Future Pokémon====
These Pokémon look like futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Quark Drive}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Miraidon}}, which has {{a|Hadron Engine}}. Their Abilities involve the effect of {{m|Electric Terrain}} in battle. All future Pokémon cries share a unique electronic, mechanical noise. Their names all contain the word "iron" (or the equivalent in other languages) as a prefix, with the exception of Miraidon—it, however, was formerly named "Iron Serpent".

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one that can abruptly assume a spherical shape and launch into a swift rolling attack.
* Rumors say this being is some kind of weapon using technology not of this world, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Iron Treads after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Violet Book.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* This Pokémon closely resembles a scientific weapon that a paranormal magazine claimed was sent to this planet by aliens.
* Sightings of this Pokémon have occurred in recent years. It resembles a mysterious object described in an old expedition journal.

* The mysterious Violet Book makes reference to a being called Iron Bundle, which was said to look like Delibird and to possess a spherical apparatus from which it would fire huge blasts of ice to propel itself through snowy lands.
* Plenty of theories about it have been floated. A leading one suggests it is the product of a long-gone civilization—a notion supported by ancient writings that describe the design and usage of machines resembling Iron Bundle.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* Its shape is similar to a robot featured in a paranormal magazine article. The robot was said to have been created by an ancient civilization.
* It resembles a mysterious object mentioned in an old book. There are only two reported sightings of this Pokémon.

* This being's name comes from the one given to an iron-handed entity in the mysterious Violet Book. It is said to have fists that move independent of its body and to be capable of throwing large, fast-moving vehicles.
* A leading theory holds that Iron Hands was once an athlete who became mortally wounded but was kept alive by being made into a cyborg. Why it so strongly resembles Hariyama, however, remains unanswered.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* It is very similar to a cyborg covered exclusively by a paranormal magazine. The cyborg was said to be the modified form of a certain athlete.
* This Pokémon shares many similarities with Iron Hands, an object mentioned in a certain expedition journal.

* This flying life-form bearing a resemblance to Hydreigon has been seen in a certain corner of Paldea. It was reported to have razed an entire building with a high-energy blast, then flown off as if to find its next objective.
* Iron Jugulis is theorized to be a sort of machine-Hydreigon hybrid, as it combines the former's ruthlessness with the latter's ferocity. It takes its name from a similarly described entity in the Violet Book.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* It resembles a certain Pokémon introduced in a paranormal magazine, described as the offspring of a Hydreigon that fell in love with a robot.
* It's possible that Iron Jugulis, an object described in an old book, may actually be this Pokémon.

* The name Iron Moth was borrowed from that of a flying object described in the era-defining Violet Book. It was said to resemble Volcarona and would descend from the skies, following people around and occasionally even attacking them.
* Some point to Iron Moth's aggression as a sign that it is, in fact, a UFO of sorts being controlled by alien life. Perhaps something out there is using Iron Moth to observe us, waiting for the moment to mount an invasion...
'''Pokédex entries'''
* This Pokémon resembles an unknown object described in a paranormal magazine as a UFO sent to observe humanity.
* No records exist of this species being caught. Data is lacking, but the Pokémon's traits match up with an object described in an old book.

* A strange being called Iron Thorns has been sighted in a certain cave in Paldea. This being bears a strong resemblance to Tyranitar, but it apparently displays great coolheadedness and prefers to avoid unnecessary fights.
* It appears to be highly intelligent and clad in metallic armor, causing some to speculate that it may be a Tyranitar as it would appear a billion years from now. Its name comes from a similarly described entity that appears in the Violet Book.
'''Pokédex entries'''
* It has some similarities to a Pokémon introduced in a dubious magazine as a Tyranitar from one billion years into the future.
* Some of its notable features match those of an object named within a certain expedition journal as Iron Thorns.

===History===
====Generation IX====
{{spoilers}}
=====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet=====
;Area Zero expedition
It is unknown where the Paradox Pokémon originate from. Conflicting accounts claim that they either come from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}, or from different timelines.
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Scarlet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Legendary beasts]]]]
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|Imaginary Paradox Pokémon from the Violet Book that resembles a fusion of the [[Swords of Justice]]]]
</div>
The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in [[Area Zero]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero expedition team, an author and natural historian named [[Heath]], wrote about these sightings in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. During the expedition, a member of the team was fatally injured by a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} that attacked them, and another survey team member managed to take a photograph of the encountered Paradox Pokémon. They at some point also encountered a {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} that was used in Heath's [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}'s cover.

At some point, the team's sketch artist made a drawing inspired by the Paradox Pokémon they had seen, imagining what other species in the crater might look like, which resembled a combined version of the [[Legendary beast]]s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Swords of Justice]]{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}} would be later discovered, resembling the sketch, but their connection is unclear. It is unclear how these first Paradox Pokémon arrived in Paldea, but they were supposedly brought over by {{p|Terapagos}} due to its [[Terastal energy]]. None of these Paradox Pokémon similar to these groups are found in [[Paldea]]'s [[Pokédex]], but instead, [[Blueberry Academy]]'s.

;Occulture
Eventually, a paranormal magazine called {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} published articles on these sightings and theorized about what the Paradox Pokémon could be. At the time, the Paradox Pokémon were believed to have been fabricated by Heath, thus not being considered real. As a result, Heath and his team were widely discredited. The Paradox Pokémon faded into obscurity and research on them ended for a time.

;Project Tera
10 years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Paradox Pokémon claimed to be from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were brought to Area Zero using a [[time machine]] built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} through Terapagos's Terastal energy. The professor is said to have used the time machine to send [[Poké Ball]]s to different points in the timeline. The Poké Balls then caught the Paradox Pokémon, before [[Time travel|bringing them into modern time]]. The reason the professor created the time machine was because they were fascinated with the Paradox Pokémon after reading about them from the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}.

The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. This goal would be called Project Tera. At some point, the professor created an AI version of themselves, to assist in research on Paradox Pokémon, using the very same [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal energy]] that helped create the time machine. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. At some point, security blocks and a Poké Ball Lock System were created to help both protect the time machine and Paradox Pokémon.

The player's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. It is later revealed that the professor was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. Because of this, the Paradox Pokémon would continue to arrive in the present and eventually form their own population in Area Zero. Meanwhile, the professor's AI counterpart realized that the project was a mistake and that their creator's dreams were doomed to failure; however, their programming prevented them from doing anything that might stop the project directly.

;The Quaking Earth Titan
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Scarlet Book Great Tusk.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Great Tusk from the Scarlet Book|Illustration of {{p|Great Tusk}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Scarlet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
[[File:Violet Book Iron Treads.png|thumb|200px|alt=An illustration of Iron Treads from the Violet Book|Illustration of {{p|Iron Treads}}, a Paradox Pokémon in the [[Violet Book]] that resembles {{p|Donphan}}.]]
</div>
Later, shortly before the events of Scarlet and Violet, a lone {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} managed to escape Area Zero and become a [[Titan Pokémon]] after eating the [[Herba Mystica]] while roaming the [[Asado Desert]]. During the events of the games, the {{player}} and [[Arven]] defeat it, putting an end to its rampage.

;The Way Home
During the events of The Way Home in Scarlet and Violet, the player, Arven, [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] encountered several Paradox Pokémon while heading deeper into Area Zero. At Research Station 2, they encountered a wild {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, which Penny mistook for an ordinary {{p|Jigglypuff}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Delibird}}{{sup/9|V}} until it became hostile. At Research Station 3, they encountered a wild Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, outside the [[Zero Lab]], the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} was encountered before the group was ambushed by a group of Paradox Pokémon: Great Tusk, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}; or Iron Treads, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI professor's Paradox Protection Protocol fights the player using seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine. After a long battle, the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} successfully defeat the Paradox Protection Protocol and the other Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when the AI professor used it one final time to travel to the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

;Post-game Paradoxes
Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}} have only appeared in special [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, Slither Wing{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Moth{{sup/9|V}}, Iron Bundle, and Flutter Mane{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Jugulis{{sup/9|V}} have also appeared in special Tera Raids.

;The Indigo Disk
Later on after helping [[Perrin]] find the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Beast}} in [[The Teal Mask]], she appears in the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], working there as a photographer to get promotional pictures for the academy. After the player catches 200 Pokémon in the [[Blueberry Pokédex]] and shows the player two blurry pictures, one of {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}} and one of {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}}, however, she's unsure if the creatures caught in these pictures are even real to begin with. After that, the two Paradox Pokémon can be encountered in Area Zero close to where the pictures were taken, surprising Perrin that they were indeed real Pokémon.

During [[Briar]]'s expedition in [[Area Zero Underdepths]], the player encounters a [[Stellar (type)|Stellar Tera]] Sandy Shocks{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Thorns{{sup/9|V}} that they needed to defeat in order to open way and travel even deeper.

The Paradox Pokémon Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Koraidon, and Miraidon appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] starting with the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. Non-Pokémon ex versions of Koraidon and Miraidon were also released in the same expansion.

Starting with the {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} and {{TCG|Future Flash}} expansions), two new categories of cards were introduced: '''{{TCG|Ancient}}''' and '''{{TCG|Future}}''', which includes all cards of Paradox Pokémon released in this set. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have Abilities and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have both ancient and future Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** All three of these Pokémon have {{type|Fighting}} ancient counterparts.
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to be based on more than one Pokémon.
* {{p|Roaring Moon}}, {{p|Iron Jugulis}}, and {{p|Iron Thorns}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to have a lower [[Base stats|base stat]] total than their contemporary counterparts (all of which are [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]).
* The ancient Pokémon, {{p|Flutter Mane}}, {{p|Scream Tail}} and {{p|Sandy Shocks}} are the only Paradox Pokémon whose contemporary relatives are not fully evolved. Furthermore, these contemporary Pokémon all evolve with [[Evolution stone]]s.
* No Paradox Pokémon based on a {{DL|Version-exclusive Pokémon|Scarlet and Violet|version-exclusive Pokémon}} is available in the same version as its present-day counterpart in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, except for the post-release Paradox Pokémon based on [[Legendary trio]]s; for example, both {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet.
** Of these, {{p|Flutter Mane}} is the only one not based on a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* All Paradox Pokémon are dual-[[type]].
** All Paradox Pokémon share one of their types with their apparent relatives and have another type that the relative lacks.
** There is at least one Paradox Pokémon of every type except {{t|Normal}}.
** {{t|Dragon}} is the most common types for Paradox Pokémon to have, with six Paradox Pokémon having it.
** Miraidon and {{p|Raging Bolt}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to share both of their types with each other.
* The naming convention for Paradox Pokémon differs by language:
** In Japanese, {{pmin|Spanish}}, {{pmin|Italian}}, and {{pmin|German}}, along with all East Asian translations, Paradox Pokémon are named with a single word.
** In {{pmin|English}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with a two-word descriptor; all future Paradox Pokémon have "Iron" as the first word in their names.
** In {{pmin|French}}, Paradox Pokémon are named with two or three words hyphenated into a single name; all future Paradox Pokémon have the suffix "-de-Fer" in their names.
* All ancient Pokémon are taller than the Pokémon they are based on, while all future Pokémon except Miraidon are shorter.
** Furthermore, all ancient Pokémon weigh more than the Pokémon they are based on except {{p|Sandy Shocks}}, which weighs the same as {{p|Magneton}}.
* {{p|Raging Bolt}} and {{p|Gouging Fire}} are the only ancient Paradox Pokémon that do not have yellow eyes.
* Despite all of the future Paradox Pokémon having “Iron” in their name, only {{p|Iron Treads}} and {{p|Iron Crown}} are actually {{t|Steel}} type.
* In their battle against the player in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} uses every Paradox Pokémon present in the base game, with the exception of {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, which is instead fought as a [[Titan Pokémon]] earlier in the story.
* [[Generation II]] and [[Generation V]] are both tied for having the most Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon that debuted during them, at seven each. Out of the [[generation]]s that have at least one, [[Generation IV]] has the fewest, at {{p|Gallade|one}}.
* The Paradox Pokémon share similarities with the [[Ultra Beast]]s, another group of Pokémon.
** Both groups consist only of Pokémon that cannot evolve in the first set of games they appear in.
** Both play a role in the main story of their debut games.
** Both groups consist entirely of gender unknown Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group, thus being unable to breed.
** Both are connected to the [[Game mascot|mascot]] Legendary Pokémon of the games they were introduced in.
** Both have base stats themed around a certain type of number, with the ancient Pokémon having odd-numbered base stats and all future Pokémon have even-numbered base stats, while Ultra Beasts have base stats themed around prime numbers. Additionally, the levels they learn moves at are themed around numbers, with Paradox Pokémon learning moves around multiples of seven, while Ultra Beasts learn moves around prime numbers.
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** Every Ultra Beast and Paradox Pokémon (except {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}) has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-{{stat|HP}} stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether the members of either group are actually Pokémon.
** With the exception of Koraidon and Miraidon, all three groups have a certain sound sample found in their cries
* The term "Paradox Pokémon" may be a reference to ''{{wp|Animalia Paradoxa}}''.
* The Paradox Pokémon (excluding Koraidon and Miraidon) and {{p|Type: Null}} are the only Pokémon to have [[List of Spanish Pokémon names|Spanish]] and [[List of Italian Pokémon names|Italian]] names different to their English names.
* All Paradox Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] entries in the versions they are not obtainable in reference [[Occulture]], except Koraidon and Miraidon.

'''Palina''' (Japanese: '''ガラナ''' ''Garana'') is a [[warden]] tasked with watching over a special {{p|Arcanine}} found in the [[Cobalt Coastlands]]. She is a member of the [[Pearl Clan]].

==In the core series==
The {{player}} first meets Palina at the top of Veilstone Cape at the grave for the previous Noble Arcanine who died at sea while trying to save his {{p|Growlithe}} pup. She is tasked with raising the son of the previous Lord to be the next Noble for the Pearl Clan but has decided instead to let Growlithe live his life in peace after his traumatic experience, which has caused many within her clan to have doubts about her shirking her duties as Warden. After one of the Growlithe in her care is kidnapped by the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune]] sisters, she travels to Firepit Island with the player and [[Iscan]] where she witnesses the son of Arcanine evolve when attempting to come to the defense of the kidnapped Growlithe. Quickly after evolving, Arcanine is struck by lightning and enters a frenzied state. Once the player has quelled Arcanine's frenzy, Palina thanks the player and vows to watch over the new Lord Arcanine as his warden.

She has known [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] warden Iscan since they were children after Iscan saved her with {{p|Basculegion}}, and the two have formed a romantic relationship in secret.

===Pokémon===
Like most members of the Pearl Clan, Palina does not keep her Pokémon partner in a [[Poké Ball]].

'''Beni''' (Japanese: '''ムベ''' ''Mube'') is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]] who runs the Wallflower, the village canteen in [[Jubilife Village]]. He also serves as [[Kamado]]'s right-hand man.

He bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Wally}}, as well as to [[Cilan]], but the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.

==In the core series==
{{incomplete|section}}
Beni immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after he and [[Kamado]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he opened up the Wallflower. His signature dish is potato {{wp|mochi}}, made using [[Sootfoot Root]]s.

If the player talks to Beni at the Wallflower with any Sootfoot Roots in their satchel, Beni will offer to buy them from the player for {{PDollar}}100 apiece.

During the game's climax, Beni obstructs the player at the [[Stone Portal]], to the player's surprise. Using a [[Smoke Bomb]], he changes into his ninja attire and challenges the player to battle. After being defeated, Beni acknowledges his respect for the player's skills, and asks them to bring Kamado to reason.

In the post-game, Beni can be battled at the [[Training Grounds]] by speaking to [[Ingo]]. He can be battled by himself or as part of the Galaxy Team's [[Path of Tenacity]] challenge.

'''Beni''' (Japanese: '''ムベ''' ''Mube'') is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]] who runs the Wallflower, the village canteen in [[Jubilife Village]]. He also serves as [[Kamado]]'s right-hand man.

He bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Wally}}, as well as to [[Cilan]], but the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.

==In the core series==
{{incomplete|section}}
Beni immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after he and [[Kamado]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he opened up the Wallflower. His signature dish is potato {{wp|mochi}}, made using [[Sootfoot Root]]s.

If the player talks to Beni at the Wallflower with any Sootfoot Roots in their satchel, Beni will offer to buy them from the player for {{PDollar}}100 apiece.

During the game's climax, Beni obstructs the player at the [[Stone Portal]], to the player's surprise. Using a [[Smoke Bomb]], he changes into his ninja attire and challenges the player to battle. After being defeated, Beni acknowledges his respect for the player's skills, and asks them to bring Kamado to reason.

In the post-game, Beni can be battled at the [[Training Grounds]] by speaking to [[Ingo]]. He can be battled by himself or as part of the Galaxy Team's [[Path of Tenacity]] challenge.

'''Beni''' (Japanese: '''ムベ''' ''Mube'') is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]] who runs the Wallflower, the village canteen in [[Jubilife Village]]. He also serves as [[Kamado]]'s right-hand man.

He bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Wally}}, as well as to {{ga|Cilan}}, but the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.

==In the core series==
{{incomplete|section}}
Beni immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after he and [[Kamado]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he opened up the Wallflower. His signature dish is potato {{wp|mochi}}, made using [[Sootfoot Root]]s.

If the player talks to Beni at the Wallflower with any Sootfoot Roots in their satchel, Beni will offer to buy them from the player for {{PDollar}}100 apiece.

During the game's climax, Beni obstructs the player at the [[Stone Portal]], to the player's surprise. Using a [[Smoke Bomb]], he changes into his ninja attire and challenges the player to battle. After being defeated, Beni acknowledges his respect for the player's skills, and asks them to bring Kamado to reason.

In the post-game, Beni can be battled at the [[Training Grounds]] by speaking to [[Ingo]]. He can be battled by himself or as part of the Galaxy Team's [[Path of Tenacity]] challenge.

'''Beni''' (Japanese: '''ムベ''' ''Mube'') is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]] who runs the Wallflower, the village canteen in [[Jubilife Village]]. He also serves as [[Kamado]]'s right-hand man.

He bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Wally}}, but the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.

==In the core series==
{{incomplete|section}}
Beni immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after he and [[Kamado]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he opened up the Wallflower. His signature dish is potato {{wp|mochi}}, made using [[Sootfoot Root]]s.

If the player talks to Beni at the Wallflower with any Sootfoot Roots in their satchel, Beni will offer to buy them from the player for {{PDollar}}100 apiece.

During the game's climax, Beni obstructs the player at the [[Stone Portal]], to the player's surprise. Using a [[Smoke Bomb]], he changes into his ninja attire and challenges the player to battle. After being defeated, Beni acknowledges his respect for the player's skills, and asks them to bring Kamado to reason.

In the post-game, Beni can be battled at the [[Training Grounds]] by speaking to [[Ingo]]. He can be battled by himself or as part of the Galaxy Team's [[Path of Tenacity]] challenge.

Tao trio

2022-04-05T00:50:06Z

Dingus99Boom: /* Myths */

{{unknown name}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, Black Kyurem, and White Kyurem]]
The '''Tao trio''' is a collective fan term used to refer to the three powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] Region: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. Other fan terms include '''Tao dragon trio''' and '''energy trio'''. According to Unova myths, the [[Legendary trio]] was created during the war plaguing the region.

Much like members of other Legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their primary type. Both Reshiram and Zekrom have a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem's is 660 in its standard form—however, both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem have a base stat total of 700.

Each of the members of the trio has control of their own types and sides. Reshiram represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yang}} and controls {{t|Fire}}, Zekrom represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yin}} and controls {{t|Electric|Thunder}}, and Kyurem represents the concept of {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}} (the absence of yin and yang) and controls {{t|Ice}}; in its alternate forms it can also control Reshiram's fire and Zekrom's thunder to some extent.

==Myths==
[[File:The Legend of Reshiram.png|thumb|250px|Reshiram and the hero]]
[[File:The Legend of Zekrom.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom and the hero]]
The mythologies of the trio are implied to be connected, despite having no true relation. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

The two dragons were equally matched as they battled and neither conquered the other. As a result, the brothers set aside their differences and equally declared that there was no right side, either. But the sons of the heroes resumed the fight, and Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed the region with their fire and lightning powers. They subsequently disappeared afterward.

At the beginning of {{2v2|Black|White}}, one of them resides in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], who is called upon by [[N]] to create his ideal world. The {{player}} is tasked with finding the other dragon in its corresponding stone ([[Light Stone]] in Black and [[Dark Stone]] in White) and reviving it to resolve the history the twins began in the past.


Kyurem's origins were believed to be much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to the [[Pokémon world]] from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called [[Giant Chasm]]. The fact that Star Pieces, Comet Shards, and extraterrestrial Pokémon can be found in the Giant Chasm strongly supports this theory. An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them; this is why the town is now surrounded by a giant wall, and why none of its residents set foot outside their homes after dark. During {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, an NPC claims that this story of Kyurem's origin might not be totally true. [[Professor Juniper]] theorized that the meteorite from the story could have been a [[Dragon Stones|Dragon Stone]], similar to the ones that Reshiram and Zekrom were revived from. However, [[Drayden]] tells the player character of an old legend that tells a conflicting story of Kyurem's origins. The legend says that when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon was "created" from the leftovers: Kyurem. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". This is completed in-game with the creation of its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|alternate forms]], White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, created by Kyurem fusing with Reshiram or Zekrom (but not both).

===In the anime===
'''The Legend of Reshiram''' was a story told by [[Cedric Juniper]] and {{an|N}} in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''. It comes from the White Chapter of Pokémon Mythology.
:''When a person appears who is searching deeply for the truth, Reshiram will appear. At first, Reshiram will battle with that person as a test of their strength and heart. And if it decides that person is a hero, it will pass on the wisdom it has accumulated over thousands of years and then bare its fangs against the hero's enemies. From that point on, Reshiram will treat the hero with kindness, as a parent would treat a child. But although the person called the hero will be able to attain great riches and power, the goodness in their heart will be lost, and the country built by the hero will be consumed in flames. Then, Reshiram will depart.''

'''The Legend of the Hero''' was a story told by Cedric Juniper in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''. It comes from Section Eighteen of the Chapter of Darkness in Pokémon Mythology.
:''When the hero turns darkness into light and the hero's heart becomes one with the Pokémon, Zekrom shall descend and lend the hero his power.''

==In the games==
===Pokémon Black and White===
In Pokémon Black and White, either Reshiram or Zekrom will be encountered at [[N's Castle]] upon awakening from their respective Dragon Stone. These Pokémon are required to be captured in order to proceed with the storyline: if defeated or fled from, they will simply reappear for a rematch. Kyurem can be caught at the [[Giant Chasm]] after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Reshiram and Zekrom can be encountered post-game at the [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after the player has encountered N at the ruins of his castle. Kyurem will appear as either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem during the storyline at Giant Chasm, but cannot be caught. Kyurem can be caught later in its normal form post-game after the player has caught Reshiram or Zekrom.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, either Reshiram or Zekrom will appear at the [[Fabled Cave]] depending on the version if the player has a level 100 Pokémon in their party. Kyurem will appear at the [[Gnarled Den]] if the player has both Reshiram and Zekrom in their party.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all three members of the tao trio can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/7|UM}} can be encountered at the Rocky World through green warp holes. {{p|Kyurem}} can be encountered in the Water World through a blue warp hole, as long as both Reshiram and Zekrom are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC, the Tao trio can be encountered in [[Max Lair]] during Dynamax Adventures. {{p|Reshiram}} can be found in Sword, while {{p|Zekrom}} can be found in Shield; however, the player can get the other Legendary by participating in other players' Dynamax Adventures.

:''Main articles: [[Reshiram (M14)]], [[Reshiram (anime)]], [[Zekrom (M14)]], {{OBP|Zekrom|recurring}}, and [[Kyurem (M15)]]''
{{OBP|Zekrom|recurring}} debuted in the first episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]''. It appeared above the sky in [[Nuvema Town]], where it created a bizarre thunderstorm and caused {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity to malfunction, inflicting pain. Zekrom always appeared above {{Ash}}. Later, in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', {{an|N}} speculated that Ash's encounter with Zekrom was not coincidental.

{{an|Reshiram}} appeared in a flashback about N's memories of N's Castle in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]''; Reshiram incinerated the castle during N's crowning by [[Ghetsis]], which he later speaks of in ''[[BW118|The Secrets From Out Of The Fog!]]'' when talking of his experience as a former [[Team Plasma]] member. It appeared during the present in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', when Ghetsis revived it from the Light Stone and took possession of it using [[Colress]]'s machine. Ghetsis then unleashed it unto everyone in hopes of utter destruction. It then left in peace after N communed with it, and supposedly told it something before it left, though N kept that a secret.

Reshiram and Zekrom later appeared in Ash's dream in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', when Ash was riding Reshiram. He was soon thrown off by Zekrom (carrying {{an|Iris}}) using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing Ash to fall off and soon awaken Ash. This was revealed to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt on him.

===={{pkmn|movie|Movies}}====
{{OBP|Reshiram|M14}} and {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}} made a major appearance in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']]. In these two variants of the same movie, Reshiram and Zekrom share opposite roles. Either Reshiram or Zekrom is summoned by [[Damon]] and used to fight off those who oppose him while he raises the [[Sword of the Vale]]. It allied with Damon when he wished to restore the [[Kingdom of the Vale]]. The opposite dragon depending on the version is awakened by Ash, and allies with him upon his wish to help {{OBP|Victini|M14}}. The two dragons battle, but Ash ultimately defeats Damon. However, the two dragons then realize that Damon's actions had unleashed a corrupted [[Dragon Force]] that has put the world into jeopardy, and the duo reveal this to Damon by blowing away the clouds. They then help relocate the Sword of the Vale in order to stop the Dragon Force. They then leave, and fly off, forming a rainbow in the process. It is unknown as to whether or not these are the same Reshiram and Zekrom that appeared in the mainstream anime.

{{OBP|Kyurem|M15}} makes a separate appearance in ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice]]''. In this movie, Kyurem is sought after {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}, in hopes that the latter can defeat Kyurem in a match to become one among the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}. Kyurem accepts Keldeo's challenge, but proves far too great a match for the young Pokémon to handle, and it gained massive advantage. When Terrakion interfered to protect Keldeo, Kyurem froze it, along with Cobalion and Virizion in ice. Keldeo then escaped and took refuge on the top of a train. Kyurem, refusing to let the battle end unfairly, doggedly pursued Keldeo. When Keldeo reappeared for a rematch, Kyurem revealed to Keldeo that it knew that it was lying about being a Sword of Justice. The two then battle, and Keldeo learns how to use {{m|Secret Sword}} in the process. Though Keldeo does not win, it still wins Kyurem's respect as Keldeo vowed to protect its friends. When Kyurem's den was falling apart, it used ice to freeze it so that no further disaster would occur. In this movie, Kyurem is shown to be able to change between Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, and normal Kyurem at will. It is also notable for controlling an army of {{p|Cryogonal}} who would do its bidding: their presence also often marked Kyurem's arrival at a location. According to Iris, Kyurem is considered the most powerful Dragon-type in the world.

Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem all appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom were seen in a flashback of events 100 years ago, when {{an|Hoopa}} in its Unbound form summoned the two of them and battled them in order to entertain people in [[Dahara City]]. Kyurem was summoned in the present day by an entity of Hoopa's Unbound form, along with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}, Primal {{p|Groudon}}, and the [[creation trio]], and was controlled by the entity in order to terrorize Dahara City. After Hoopa's Unbound power was finally sealed and Kyurem was freed from its control, Kyurem helped in holding off a dimensional wall while Hoopa saved the Dahara City inhabitants from destruction. Kyurem then left the scene.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[N]] was seen with a Reshiram in ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]''. He used it to try and stop [[Ghetsis]] and {{p|Kyurem}} from freezing [[Unova]], but Ghetsis fused the two Pokémon to create White Kyurem before N could act.

Zekrom briefly appeared at the end of ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Hilbert}}.

Kyurem first appeared in ''[[PG14|The Frozen World]]''. It was controlled by [[Colress]], being used by [[Team Plasma]] to power up a cannon to freeze [[Opelucid City]]. This was part of a larger plan to get the [[DNA Splicers]] to [[Zinzolin]]. Kyurem reappeared in ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]'', this time under the control of [[Ghetsis]]. It was used as part of his final attempt to freeze Unova, but was challenged by [[N]] and his {{p|Reshiram}}. However, Ghetsis used the DNA Splicers to fuse the two Pokémon into White Kyurem. It was last seen being challenged by {{ga|Hilbert}} and his {{p|Zekrom}}.

{{main|Tao trio (Adventures)}}
In the {{chap|Black & White}}, Zekrom is the first member of the Tao trio to appear. It was successfully awakened at the [[Dragonspiral Tower]] by {{adv|N}}, who was given the Dark Stone that the [[Shadow Triad]] successfully stole from the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]]. N eventually convinced Zekrom to join his cause, making him the Hero of Ideals, and proceeded to another location to challenge [[Alder]].

At around the same time that Zekrom was awakened, [[Brycen]] consulted with [[Drayden]] about the Light Stone, which [[Team Plasma]] were unaware of, that was also being stored at the museum. Brycen agreed to train {{adv|Black}} and entrust him with the Light Stone. After completing the training course under Brycen, Black failed an initial attempt to summon Reshiram. In the middle of the battle between N and Alder, which Black came to witness, Reshiram made another attempt to emerge from the Light Stone, however Zekrom's roar forced it back in. It wasn't until Black became fully aware of Team Plasma's intentions, during the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Unova League tournament]], that he finally summoned Reshiram and became the Hero of Truth. Black eventually squared up against N, pitting Reshiram and Zekrom against each other, and Reshiram emerged victorious.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Kyurem was revealed to have been caught by [[Zinzolin]] during the events of the ''Black & White'' chapter. [[Colress]] eventually took control of it and placed it inside the [[Plasma Frigate]] to power its "Kyurem Cannon".

==Trivia==
* {{wp|Yin and yang}} are dependent fundamentals in {{wp|Taoism}}, which Reshiram and Zekrom are directly connected to. Reshiram and Zekrom's species names in Japanese are "White Yang" and "Black Yin," respectively, and the names of their battle music are also respectively "Blazing White Yang" and "Electrifying Black Yin." Kyurem, on the other hand, is an analogy to {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}—a separate concept of Taoism—under the assumption that the absence of the warmth Reshiram and Zekrom generate (and thus their conceptual yin and yang) equals the infinite absence wuji implies. Wuji is also said to be represented by an empty circle; Kyurem's species name is the Boundary Pokémon.
** The Tao trio may also relate to the {{wp|Three Pure Ones}}.
** According to [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, {{p|Kyurem}} is the remainder of the {{tt|original dragon|the single dragon that Reshiram and Zekrom used to be}} after it was split into two. Also, Kyurem shifts into its two forms by fusing with either Reshiram or Zekrom. In this case, Kyurem could be an internal trio master, much like {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Landorus}}.
* The Two Contraries are a pair of dragons in {{wp|alchemy}}, Sophic Mercury and Sophic Sulfur. They are commonly depicted as a white, fluffy dragon with two wings and a black, scaly dragon with four limbs. These depictions heavily informed the body designs of Reshiram and Zekrom. Sophic Mercury is described as active and Sophic Sulfur as passive, which could be a loose inspiration for the truth and ideals that Reshiram and Zekrom represent. The Two Contraries fight because they are opposites, yet they complete each other, similar to the concept of yin and yang. The Two Contraries are also what allow free will and awareness to existing, reflected in Pokémon by the choice between truth and ideals. Sophic Sulfur's name and corresponding element could be an inspiration for Reshiram being {{type|Fire}}. In addition, the Three Essentials, mercury, sulfur, and salt, the elements needed to create a {{wp|philosopher's stone}}, are considered the "child" of the Two Contraries. When the Essentials and Contraries are merged, they become a three-headed dragon. This could be the basis for the original dragon, which split into Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem long ago. The process of fusing requires the presence of Sophic Salt to freeze the Two Contraries together and ground them. This could be the inspiration for Kyurem being {{type|Ice}}.
** Sophic Salt being needed to freeze and ground the Two Contraries could be reflected in the Tao Trio's typing. Reshiram and Zekrom are weak to the {{type|Ground}}, and Kyurem's Ice-type moves are super effective against it.
* The secondary types of the Tao trio are the same as the primary types of the Kantonian [[Legendary birds]].
** Additionally, each member of the trio learns one aspect of the move {{m|Tri Attack}}.
* Although the members of the Tao trio are the [[game mascot]]s of the [[Generation V]] games, none of the members are the mascot of the game matching its [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]]. Reshiram is the mascot of ''Pokémon Black'', Zekrom is the mascot of ''Pokémon White'', and although Kyurem's alternate forms match the colors of ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'' they are still listed as gray due to their base form.
* Reshiram and Zekrom have the highest catch rate of any Legendary Pokémon with a base stat total above 600, with 45 (tied with {{p|Rayquaza}} in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}). This is because the player is forced to catch them to proceed with the storyline in Black and White.
* Each member of the Tao trio has a secondary Sugimori artwork depicting their Overdrive Modes. Kyurem has two of them, one for each alternate form.
* The Tao trio have their own battle transition. A few lights will gather in the center of the screen, and a swirling vortex will zoom in from the center.
* Like the [[Legendary beasts]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each member of the trio shares battle music that is slightly remixed to match their secondary type. Zekrom's theme has a crackling thunder effect and Reshiram's theme has a burning fire effect. While Kyurem's theme does not have a similar special effect, it has an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
** All three members use Zekrom's variant in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* All three members of the Tao trio can [[Talking Pokémon|speak telepathically]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}; they, along with the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, are the only Legendary trios to have this ability for all three members.
* Neither White Kyurem nor Black Kyurem can be traded or captured.
* All three members of the Tao Trio are voiced by [[Marc Thompson]] in their respective English movies.

Swords of Justice

Dingus99Boom: /* History */

[[File:Swords of Justice.png|thumb|right|250px|The Swords of Justice]]
[[File:Swords of Justice Dream.png|thumb|right|250px|Artwork of {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Cobalion}} from the [[Pokémon Global Link]].]]
The '''Swords of Justice''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|聖剣士|せいけんし}}''' ''Sacred Swordsmen'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Keldeo}}. They are also commonly referred to by fans as the '''Legendary musketeers'''.

The group is based on the French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'' by {{wp|Alexandre Dumas}}. Cobalion represents {{wp|Athos (fictional character)|Athos}}, the oldest and ''de facto'' leader of the group. Terrakion represents {{wp|Porthos}}, the strongest, heaviest, and largest member of the group. Virizion represents {{wp|Aramis}}, the most feminine, vain, and romantic member of the group. Keldeo represents {{wp|d'Artagnan}}, the youngest by far and the latest addition to the group.

The Swords of Justice share a secondary type, {{type|Fighting}}, and the Ability {{a|Justified}}. A number of their moves refer to combat and swordplay—something the Musketeers specialized in—such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Sacred Sword}}. The latter move was the [[signature move]] of the Swords of Justice in [[Generation V]].

When gathered at the [[Moor of Icirrus]]{{sup/5|BW}}/[[Pledge Grove]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion will teach {{p|Keldeo}} its [[signature move]], {{m|Secret Sword}}.

==History==
The Swords of Justice have challenged humans according to the legend in order to protect other Pokémon from losing their homes to human expansion. According to Legend, three Swords of Justice distrust humans because of the war that endangered the Pokémon living in [[Unova]].

The reason was war between two human factions, which resulted in a forest fire in the [[Moor of Icirrus]]. The lives of many wild Pokémon that lived there were endangered because of it. Ensnared by the smoke, they could not escape and their demise seemed certain until three figures appeared.
Terrakion shaped the earth and created a passage by which to escape, Virizion used its speed to shield the Pokémon from sparks and embers, while their leader, Cobalion, ushered the Pokémon to safety. Despite their efforts, the forest eventually burned to the ground. However, amongst the ashes, the three came across a lone Pokémon known as {{p|Keldeo}} who was separated from its parents. The trio adopted Keldeo into their group and taught it the knowledge and moves necessary in order to survive. Over time, Keldeo began to surpass its teachers before leaving the forest, though it is unknown why it left.

The trio proceeded to fight back the armies, overwhelming them with their combined might. Legends of them continue to be told today, and it has been said that if human conflict ever again threatened the safety of Pokémon, they would return to quell the fighting and preserve a climate of peace.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
{{main|Swords of Justice (Adventures)}}
{{main|Kelden}}
Virizion debuted in ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', where it attacks {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} as they cross the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], cutting up their clothing. After learning about the date of the Pokémon League's date being pushed up, Black decides to capture the Swords of Justice in a desperate attempt to convince [[Drayden]] to give him entry into the League without an eighth Gym Badge. His travels take him to [[Mistralton Cave]], where he meets [[Shoko]], a young girl who's friend, {{tc|The Riches|Trish}}, had gone into the cave to capture the Swords of Justice herself.

When they hear a cry of pain, Black and Shoko enter the cave to find that Trish had been defeated and captured by Terrakion and Virizion. Black manages to get Trish out of Terrakion and Virizion's grasp with the help of [[Bo]]. When Trish wakes up, she decides to battle and capture the two Pokémon again, but is interrupted by the third Pokémon, Cobalion. Cobalion's appearance startles Trish into dropping her torches, causing a fire to start inside of the cave. Using teamwork, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion put out the flames as well as capture Shoko and Trish's Pokémon so that they can be freed from their Trainers. Black tracks them using [[Musha]]'s dream eating abilities, and he manages to free the girls' Pokémon after telling the three legends that Trish and Shoko truly love their Pokémon. Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion then disappear into the distance, much to Black's disappointment since he never captured them.

Later, the Swords of Justice are seen communicating with each other through telepathy as they travel towards [[Pledge Grove]] to meet their apprentice, [[Kelden|Keldeo]]. During their journey, the [[Shadow Triad]] catch sight of them and recognize them before planning to catch them, but Cobalion uses {{m|Metal Burst}} on the Shadow Triad before leading Terrakion and Virizion to safety. They meet Keldeo as promised, and teach it the move {{m|Sacred Sword}}, allowing it to leave a cut on the stone and complete its training. After Keldeo accomplishes this, Cobalion decides that all four of them would apprehend the Shadow Triad, as it knew that the Shadow Triad are up to no good and cannot be ignored.

They travel to the [[P2 Laboratory]], where the Shadow Triad and the Striaton Gym Leaders, [[Cilan]], [[Cress]], and [[Chili]], are locked in combat. From the expressions on each sides' Pokémon, Keldeo determines the Striaton Gym Leaders to be the good side. Keldeo rushes in to defeat the Shadow Triad's Pokémon, but gets captured in the process. Fortunately, Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion come to the rescue by swinging their swords at both trios, defeating both sides before deciding to leave. Although defeated, the Shadow Triad refuse to back down and activate the P2 Lab's doors and have their {{p|Genesect|secret weapon}} fire a laser at Keldeo. Keldeo is protected by its three mentors, who are frozen by the laser and proceed to sink into the waters below.

Two years later, [[Kelden|Keldeo]] was encountered by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} during a run to fill the Pokédex with data. After having been lured out by Whitley's [[Foongy]]'s {{m|Sweet Scent}}, Keldeo lashed out at the two and attacked them with its sword. Blake managed to dodge, but accidentally stepped too far and fell down a cliff. A while later, Keldeo agreed to join Blake's team, and is nicknamed Kelden.

===In the [[Pokémon RéBURST]] manga===
The Swords of Justice, excluding Keldeo, are captured by the organization [[Great Gavel]] and turned into Burst Hearts. Their Burst Hearts are then given to the three generals: [[Amu]], [[Ganku]], and [[Rovy]].

==Trivia==
* In Generation V, the Swords of Justice have their own battle transition, like the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Forces of Nature]] (the latter of which share their theme). The screen will pause, fade to black, and then a sword will slash through the screen as the glass breaks into pieces and the battle begins.
* The Swords of Justice are the first and only Legendary Pokémon group to have a [[Mythical Pokémon]] as a member.

Tao trio

2022-03-28T22:32:59Z

Dingus99Boom: /* Trivia */

{{unknown name}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, Black Kyurem, and White Kyurem]]
The '''Tao trio''' is a collective fan term used to refer to the three powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] Region: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. Other fan terms include '''Tao dragon trio''' and '''energy trio'''. According to Unova myths, the [[Legendary trio]] was created during the war plaguing the region.

Much like members of other Legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their primary type. Both Reshiram and Zekrom have a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem's is 660 in its standard form—however, both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem have a base stat total of 700.

Each of the members of the trio has control of their own types and sides. Reshiram represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yang}} and controls {{t|Fire}}, Zekrom represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yin}} and controls {{t|Electric|Thunder}}, and Kyurem represents the concept of {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}} (the absence of yin and yang) and controls {{t|Ice}}; in its alternate forms it can also control Reshiram's fire and Zekrom's thunder to some extent.

==Myths==
[[File:The Legend of Reshiram.png|thumb|250px|Reshiram and the hero]]
[[File:The Legend of Zekrom.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom and the hero]]
The mythologies of the trio are implied to be connected, despite having no true relation. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

The two dragons were equally matched as they battled and neither conquered the other. As a result, the brothers set aside their differences and equally declared that there was no right side, either. But the sons of the heroes resumed the fight, and Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed the region with their fire and lightning powers. They subsequently disappeared afterward.

At the beginning of {{2v2|Black|White}}, one of them resides in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], who is called upon by [[N]] to create his ideal world. The {{player}} is tasked with finding the other dragon in its corresponding stone ([[Light Stone]] in Black and [[Dark Stone]] in White) and revive it to resolve the history the twins began in the past.


Kyurem's origins were believed to be much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to the [[Pokémon world]] from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called [[Giant Chasm]]. The fact that Star Pieces, Comet Shards and extraterrestrial Pokémon can be found in the Giant Chasm strongly support this theory. An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them; this is why the town is now surrounded by a giant wall, and why none of its residents set foot outside their homes after dark. During {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, an NPC claims that this story of Kyurem's origin might not be totally true. [[Professor Juniper]] theorized that the meteorite from the story could have been a [[Dragon Stones|Dragon Stone]], similar to the ones that Reshiram and Zekrom were revived from. However, [[Drayden]] tells the player character of an old legend that tells a conflicting story of Kyurem's origins. The legend says that when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon was "created" from the leftovers: Kyurem. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". This is completed in-game with the creation of its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|alternate forms]], White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, created by Kyurem fusing with Reshiram or Zekrom (but not both).

===In the anime===
'''The Legend of Reshiram''' was a story told by [[Cedric Juniper]] and {{an|N}} in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''. It comes from the White Chapter of Pokémon Mythology.
:''When a person appears who is searching deeply for the truth, Reshiram will appear. At first, Reshiram will battle with that person as a test of their strength and heart. And if it decides that person is a hero, it will pass on the wisdom it has accumulated over thousands of years and then bare it fangs against the hero's enemies. From that point on, Reshiram will treat the hero with kindness, as a parent would treat a child. But although the person called the hero will be able to attain great riches and power, the goodness in their heart will be lost, and the country built by the hero will be consumed in flames. Then, Reshiram will depart.''

'''The Legend of the Hero''' was a story told by Cedric Juniper in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''. It comes from Section Eighteen of the Chapter of Darkness in Pokémon Mythology.
:''When the hero turns darkness into light and the hero's heart becomes one with the Pokémon, Zekrom shall descend and lend the hero his power.''

==In the games==
===Pokémon Black and White===
In Pokémon Black and White, either Reshiram or Zekrom will be encountered at [[N's Castle]] upon awakening from their respective Dragon Stone. These Pokémon are required to be captured in order to proceed with the storyline: if defeated or fled from, they will simply reappear for a rematch. Kyurem can be caught at the [[Giant Chasm]] after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Reshiram and Zekrom can be encountered post-game at the [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after the player has encountered N at the ruins of his castle. Kyurem will appear as either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem during the storyline at Giant Chasm, but cannot be caught. Kyurem can be caught later in its normal form post-game after the player has caught Reshiram or Zekrom.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, either Reshiram or Zekrom will appear at the [[Fabled Cave]] depending on the version if the player has a level 100 Pokémon in their party. Kyurem will appear at the [[Gnarled Den]] if the player has both Reshiram and Zekrom in their party.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, all three members of the tao trio can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/7|UM}} can be encountered at the Rocky World through green warp holes. {{p|Kyurem}} can be encountered in the Water World through a blue warp hole, as long as both Reshiram and Zekrom are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] DLC, the Tao trio can be encountered in [[Max Lair]] during Dynamax Adventures. {{p|Reshiram}} can be found in Sword, while {{p|Zekrom}} can be found in Shield; however, the player can get the other Legendary by participating in other players' Dynamax Adventures.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Reshiram M14.png|thumb|left|250px|Reshiram in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Zekrom M14.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom in the anime]]
[[File:Kyurem anime.png|thumb|250px|Kyurem in the anime]]
:''Main articles: [[Reshiram (M14)]], [[Reshiram (anime)]], [[Zekrom (M14)]], {{OBP|Zekrom|recurring}}, and [[Kyurem (M15)]]''
{{OBP|Zekrom|recurring}} debuted in the first episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]''. It appeared above the sky in [[Nuvema Town]], where it created a bizarre thunderstorm and caused {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity to malfunction, inflicting pain. Zekrom always appeared above {{Ash}}. Later, in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', {{an|N}} speculated that Ash's encounter with Zekrom was not coincidental.

{{an|Reshiram}} appeared in a flashback about N's memories of N's Castle in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]''; Reshiram incinerated the castle during N's crowning by [[Ghetsis]], which he later speaks of in ''[[BW118|The Secrets From Out Of The Fog!]]'' when talking of his experience as a former [[Team Plasma]] member. It appeared during the present in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', when Ghetsis revived it from the Light Stone and took possession of it using [[Colress]]'s machine. Ghetsis then unleashed it unto everyone in hopes of utter destruction. It then left in peace after N communed with it, and supposedly told it something before it left, though N kept that a secret.

Reshiram and Zekrom later appeared in Ash's dream in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', when Ash was riding Reshiram. He was soon thrown off by Zekrom (carrying {{an|Iris}}) using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing Ash to fall off and soon awaken Ash. This was revealed to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt on him.

===={{pkmn|movie|Movies}}====
{{OBP|Reshiram|M14}} and {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}} made a major appearance in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']]. In these two variants of the same movie, Reshiram and Zekrom share opposite roles. Either Reshiram or Zekrom is summoned by [[Damon]] and used to fight off those who oppose him while he raises the [[Sword of the Vale]]. It allied with Damon when he wished to restore the [[Kingdom of the Vale]]. The opposite dragon depending on the version is awakened by Ash, and allies with him upon his wish to help {{OBP|Victini|M14}}. The two dragons battle, but Ash ultimately defeats Damon. However, the two dragons then realize that Damon's actions had unleashed a corrupted [[Dragon Force]] that has put the world into jeopardy, and the duo reveal this to Damon by blowing away the clouds. They then help relocate the Sword of the Vale in order to stop the Dragon Force. They then leave, and fly off, forming a rainbow in the process. It is unknown as to whether or not these are the same Reshiram and Zekrom that appeared in the mainstream anime.

{{OBP|Kyurem|M15}} makes a separate appearance in ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice]]''. In this movie, Kyurem is sought after {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}, in hopes that the latter can defeat Kyurem in a match to become one among the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}. Kyurem accepts Keldeo's challenge, but proves far too great a match for the young Pokémon to handle, and it gained massive advantage. When Terrakion interfered to protect Keldeo, Kyurem froze it, along with Cobalion and Virizion in ice. Keldeo then escaped and took refuge on the top of a train. Kyurem, refusing to let the battle end unfairly, doggedly pursued Keldeo. When Keldeo reappeared for a rematch, Kyurem revealed to Keldeo that it knew that it was lying about being a Sword of Justice. The two then battle, and Keldeo learns how to use {{m|Secret Sword}} in the process. Though Keldeo does not win, it still wins Kyurem's respect as Keldeo vowed to protect its friends. When Kyurem's den was falling apart, it used ice to freeze it so that no further disaster would occur. In this movie, Kyurem is shown to be able to change between Black Kyurem, White Kyurem, and normal Kyurem at will. It is also notable for controlling an army of {{p|Cryogonal}} who would do its bidding: their presence also often marked Kyurem's arrival at a location. According to Iris, Kyurem is considered the most powerful Dragon-type in the world.

Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem all appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom were seen in a flashback of events 100 years ago, when {{an|Hoopa}} in its Unbound form summoned the two of them and battled them in order to entertain people in [[Dahara City]]. Kyurem was summoned in the present day by an entity of Hoopa's Unbound form, along with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}, Primal {{p|Groudon}}, and the [[creation trio]], and was controlled by the entity in order to terrorize Dahara City. After Hoopa's Unbound power was finally sealed and Kyurem was freed from its control, Kyurem helped in holding off a dimensional wall while Hoopa saved the Dahara City inhabitants from destruction. Kyurem then left the scene.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[N]] was seen with a Reshiram in ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]''. He used it to try and stop [[Ghetsis]] and {{p|Kyurem}} from freezing [[Unova]], but Ghetsis fused the two Pokémon to create White Kyurem before N could act.

Zekrom briefly appeared at the end of ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]'', under the ownership of {{ga|Hilbert}}.

Kyurem first appeared in ''[[PG14|The Frozen World]]''. It was controlled by [[Colress]], being used by [[Team Plasma]] to power up a cannon to freeze [[Opelucid City]]. This was part of a larger plan to get the [[DNA Splicers]] to [[Zinzolin]]. Kyurem reappeared in ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]'', this time under the control of [[Ghetsis]]. It was used as part of his final attempt to freeze Unova, but was challenged by [[N]] and his {{p|Reshiram}}. However, Ghetsis used the DNA Splicers to fuse the two Pokémon into White Kyurem. It was last seen being challenged by {{ga|Hilbert}} and his {{p|Zekrom}}.

{{main|Tao trio (Adventures)}}
In the {{chap|Black & White}}, Zekrom is the first member of the Tao trio to appear. It was successfully awakened at the [[Dragonspiral Tower]] by {{adv|N}}, who was given the Dark Stone that the [[Shadow Triad]] successfully stole from the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]]. N eventually convinced Zekrom to join his cause, making him the Hero of Ideals, and proceeded to another location to challenge [[Alder]].

At around the same time that Zekrom was awakened, [[Brycen]] consulted with [[Drayden]] about the Light Stone, which [[Team Plasma]] were unaware of, that was also being stored at the museum. Brycen agreed to train {{adv|Black}} and entrust him with the Light Stone. After completing the training course under Brycen, Black failed an initial attempt to summon Reshiram. In the middle of the battle between N and Alder, which Black came to witness, Reshiram made another attempt to emerge from the Light Stone, however Zekrom's roar forced it back in. It wasn't until Black became fully aware of Team Plasma's intentions, during the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Unova League tournament]], that he finally summoned Reshiram and became the Hero of Truth. Black eventually squared up against N, pitting Reshiram and Zekrom against each other, and Reshiram emerged victorious.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Kyurem was revealed to have been caught by [[Zinzolin]] during the events of the ''Black & White'' chapter. [[Colress]] eventually took control of it and placed it inside the [[Plasma Frigate]] to power its "Kyurem Cannon".

==Trivia==
* {{wp|Yin and yang}} are dependent fundamentals in {{wp|Taoism}}, which Reshiram and Zekrom are directly connected to. Reshiram and Zekrom's species names in Japanese are "White Yang" and "Black Yin," respectively, and the names of their battle music are also respectively "Blazing White Yang" and "Electrifying Black Yin." Kyurem, on the other hand, is an analogy to {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}—a separate concept of Taoism—under the assumption that the absence of the warmth Reshiram and Zekrom generate (and thus their conceptual yin and yang) equals the infinite absence wuji implies. Wuji is also said to be represented by an empty circle; Kyurem's species name is the Boundary Pokémon.
** The Tao trio may also relate to the {{wp|Three Pure Ones}}.
** According to [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, {{p|Kyurem}} is the remainder of the {{tt|original dragon|the single dragon that Reshiram and Zekrom used to be}} after it was split into two. Also, Kyurem shifts into its two forms by fusing with either Reshiram or Zekrom. In this case, Kyurem could be an internal trio master, much like {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Landorus}}.
* The Two Contraries are a pair of dragons in {{wp|alchemy}}, Sophic Mercury and Sophic Sulfur. They are commonly depicted as a white, fluffy dragon with two wings and a black, scaly dragon with four limbs. These depictions heavily informed the body designs of Reshiram and Zekrom. Sophic Mercury is described as active and Sophic Sulfur as passive, which could be a loose inspiration for the truth and ideals that Reshiram and Zekrom represent. The Two Contraries fight because they are opposites, yet they complete each other, similar to the concept of yin and yang. The Two Contraries are also what allow free will and awareness to existing, reflected in Pokémon by the choice between truth and ideals. Sophic Sulfur's name and corresponding element could be an inspiration for Reshiram being {{type|Fire}}. In addition, the Three Essentials, mercury, sulfur, and salt, the elements needed to create a {{wp|philosopher's stone}}, are considered the "child" of the Two Contraries. When the Essentials and Contraries are merged, they become a three-headed dragon. This could be the basis for the original dragon, which split into Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem long ago. The process of fusing requires the presence of Sophic Salt to freeze the Two Contraries together and ground them. This could be the inspiration for Kyurem being {{type|Ice}}.
** Sophic Salt being needed to freeze and ground the Two Contraries could be reflected in the Tao Trio's typing. Reshiram and Zekrom are weak to {{type|Ground}}, and Kyurem's Ice-type moves are super effective against it.
* The secondary types of the Tao trio are the same as the primary types of the Kantonian [[Legendary birds]].
** Additionally, each member of the trio learns one aspect of the move {{m|Tri Attack}}.
* Although the members of the Tao trio are the [[game mascot]]s of the [[Generation V]] games, none of the members are the mascot of the game matching its [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]]. Reshiram is the mascot of ''Pokémon Black'', Zekrom is the mascot of ''Pokémon White'', and although Kyurem's alternate forms match the colors of ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'' they are still listed as gray due to their base form.
* Reshiram and Zekrom have the highest catch rate of any Legendary Pokémon with a base stat total above 600, with 45 (tied with {{p|Rayquaza}} in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}). This is because the player is forced to catch them to proceed with the storyline in Black and White.
* Each member of the Tao trio has a secondary Sugimori artwork depicting their Overdrive Modes. Kyurem has two of them, one for each alternate form.
* The Tao trio have their own battle transition. A few lights will gather in the center of the screen, and a swirling vortex will zoom in from the center.
* Like the [[Legendary beasts]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each member of the trio shares battle music that is slightly remixed to match their secondary type. Zekrom's theme has a crackling thunder effect and Reshiram's theme has a burning fire effect. While Kyurem's theme does not have a similar special effect, it has an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
** All three members use Zekrom's variant in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* All three members of the Tao trio can [[Talking Pokémon|speak telepathically]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}; they, along with the {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}}, are the only Legendary trios to have this ability for all three members.
* Neither White Kyurem nor Black Kyurem can be traded or captured.
* All three members of the Tao Trio are voiced by [[Marc Thompson]] in their respective English movies.

Mythical Pokémon

2022-03-20T13:26:08Z

Dingus99Boom: /* Generation V */

[[File:2016 Mythical Pokémon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Mythical Pokémon]]
'''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.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141019114239/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokescrap2014/pokemon もらえるプレゼントを詳しく紹介｜ポケモンスクラップ　オメガルビー・アルファサファイア　幻のポケモンたちをもらおう！　キャンペーン] (Japanese, archive)</ref>

In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon (and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused, with some fans calling Mythical Pokémon "Event Legendaries", reflecting how they usually must be obtained at an event, but they are not a subset of them<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/features/#legendary-pokemon | New features added in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra | Pokémon Sword and Shield Offical Website]</ref>); since Generation V, the two groups are presented as distinct groups in all official media. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.

==Overview==
===In the core series===
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 minimal exposure during normal gameplay, usually alluded to in vague hints. They are then 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}}.

When they are first revealed, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained in the [[core series]] games in the course of normal gameplay. They can typically 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, the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]], etc., or may be received via [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] that feature special connectivity. Mythical Pokémon are usually unobtainable in regular gameplay, with the vast majority of them only being obtainable via these events. In [[Generation VIII]], several are obtainable in-game by having save files from other Pokémon games on the [[Nintendo Switch]].

The [[gender]] of every Mythical Pokémon is unknown. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], with the exception of {{p|Meltan}}, and most cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, although {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} can be bred with {{p|Ditto}} to produce Phione {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

Much like how [[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 only exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon.

No Mythical Pokémon is required to complete the [[Pokédex]] for rewards such as the [[diploma]], except for {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and {{p|Arceus}} in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], which are available as part of the story.

====History====
Despite the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, being added to the original games right before release, the concept of "illusory monsters" (Mythical Monsters) already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. They were said to be hard to encounter, hard to catch or be impossible to catch if the player missed their chance. For example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around two hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

===Statistical average===

|}

====Multiple Mythical Pokémon====
Sometimes, the player is able to acquire multiple Mythical Pokémon of the same species by trading or transferring them from multiple games, or by attending multiple real-life distributions. There are other instances of multiple Mythical Pokémon:

* It is possible to acquire multiple {{p|Phione}} [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]] by {{pkmn|breeding}} {{p|Manaphy}} with {{p|Ditto}}. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], three Phione are found in [[Seaside Hollow]].
* The Pokédex states that at the end of {{p|Melmetal}}'s lifespan, its small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as {{p|Meltan}}. This indicates that multiple Meltan are born, but also there could potentially be multiple Melmetal if they [[evolution|evolve]]. Additionally, multiple Meltan are seen together in promotional videos.
* {{p|Zarude}} lives deep within dense forests in a pack with others of its kind.

===In the anime===
Mythical Pokémon typically make their {{pkmn|anime}} debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Most are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the {{pkmn|games}} and anime.

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 first {{pkmn|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]]. Another character to own a Mythical Pokémon was {{al|Dia}}, an inhabitant of the [[Ultra Ruin]], who owns the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Zeraora}}. Ash owns a Mythical Pokémon, {{AP|Melmetal}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{P|Meltan}} in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'' after it befriended his {{AP|Rowlet}}.

==List of Mythical Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 21 are Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(21/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Including Phione, there are 22 Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(22/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Mythical Pokémon.

===Generation I===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation I]].

====Mew====
[[File:Faraway Island Mew.png|thumb|300px|[[May (game)|May]] encountering {{p|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]]]]
{{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.

Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Its base stat total of 600 and the 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}}.

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]]''.

In {{game|Emerald}}, with the [[Old Sea Chart]] [[event item]], the player can travel to [[Faraway Island]], where they can encounter a wild Mew, after they complete a game of hide-and-seek with it. This is the only time Mew has appeared in the wild (excluding [[glitch]]es).

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it can use a unique [[Z-Crystal]] known as the [[Mewnium Z]], which allows it to perform the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}. In Sun and Moon, the Mewnium Z was only available through a [[Pokémon Bank]] promotion, but it is available in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} by showing a Mew to a man in the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City.

===Generation II===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation II]].

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|left|140px|{{p|Celebi}} sitting on the [[Ilex Forest shrine]]]]
{{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 [[Time travel|travels through time]].

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.

Introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released. Created by [[Ken Sugimori]], it was dubbed the "New Mew" 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.

In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player has the [[GS Ball]] [[Key Item]], they can encounter a wild Celebi in [[Ilex Forest]]. In the original [[Game Boy Color]] release of Pokémon Crystal, this item was distributed via [[Mobile System GB]] in Japan (it was not available outside of Japan). In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release, the player can obtain the GS Ball in normal gameplay in [[Goldenrod City]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], making this the second time a Mythical Pokémon can be encountered in normal gameplay (after {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}). The Celebi can be {{shiny}}, but the Virtual Console release will no longer be available after the 3DS Nintendo eShop is discontinued in March 2023.

In {{g|Colosseum}}, Celebi appears if the player uses a [[Time Flute]] at the [[Relic Stone]], descending from above and then flying around a [[Shadow Pokémon]] to instantly [[purification|purify]] it. In the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]], the player can obtain Celebi after purifying all 48 Shadow Pokémon in the game.

It starred in the fourth Pokémon movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. A Celebi also had a central role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. A {{Shiny}} Celebi appeared in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
Two Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].

====Jirachi====
[[File:Jirachi Encounter.png|thumb|240px|Encountering {{p|Jirachi}}]]
{{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.

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]].

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.
{{-}}
====Deoxys====
[[File:Ranger 3 Deoxys mission art.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Deoxys}} surrounded by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s]]
{{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 chest acts as its brain, as well as a defense mechanism.

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.

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 [[AuroraTicket]], which provided access to Birth Island, where it appears in-game.

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 time a Mythical Pokémon was available in-game without the need to attend an event or use a download code.

Contrary to its classification in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/info/Pokemon_Characters PokémonCenter.com] as well as the [[Scholastic]] book ''[[Official Guide to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]]'' call Deoxys a Legendary Pokémon rather than a Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}

===Generation IV===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]] (five including {{p|Phione}}).

====Manaphy and Phione====
{{main|Sea guardians}}
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|200px|right|Artwork of {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
{{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.

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. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is the only game in which Phione can be caught; in all other games, the only legitimate way to obtain one 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. It is impossible to get a Manaphy Egg through this method.

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]].

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, "Recover the Precious Egg!". Once completed, a Manaphy Egg could be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and hatched. Pokémon Ranger's sequel games, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] have similar downloadable missions where Manaphy Eggs can be transferred to not only Diamond and Pearl but {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} as well. Manaphy has since been released through distribution as most other Mythical Pokémon.

Manaphy and three Phione are available in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] from [[Task#Requests|request]] 66 The Sea's Legend. Manaphy is unique, but after the request is completed, there is a small chance for more Phione to appear. Of the Mythical Pokémon to be available within a game without an event, they are the only ones to be available before the [[credits]] without the need of another Pokémon game, although in order to find them, the player is expected to use [[Sinnoh myths#The Sea's Legend|information]] from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
{{-}}

====Darkrai====
[[File:Darkrai Newmoon Island.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
{{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.

Darkrai is heavily connected with the {{status|sleep}} [[status condition]], as reflected by its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Bad Dreams}}, and its [[signature move]] {{m|Dark Void}}. It also learns related moves, such as {{m|Nightmare}}. From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any other Pokémon.

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 Feather|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 [[lunar duo]].

Darkrai was officially revealed in 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 afterward. 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]].

Darkrai is available in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] from [[Task#Requests|request]] 93 The Darksome Nightmare, if the player has a save file from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
{{-}}

====Shaymin====
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Shaymin}} in a field of [[Gracidea]] flowers]]
{{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.

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 to its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}} or, before [[Generation VII]], when deposited into the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

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 the distribution of the [[List of Key Items (Generation IV)|Key Item]] [[Oak's Letter]]. This item allowed players to access [[Seabreak Path]] and capture a Shaymin in [[Flower Paradise]]. In the remakes, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Oak's Letter was distributed from February 27 to March 27, 2022.

Shaymin is available in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] from [[Task#Requests|request]] 92 A Token of Gratitude, if the player has a save file from [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
{{-}}

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Arceus}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
{{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.

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.

Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One". 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. It is the titular character of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and a major focus of the [[Generation V]] [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Conquest}}.

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}}.

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.

Arceus is obtained in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] during the final [[Task#Missions|mission]] of the game, mission 28, The Deified Pokémon. Doing so also unlocks a [[save data bonus]] allowing the player to battle and catch another Arceus in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, which can be {{shiny}}.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]].

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Victini}} on [[Liberty Garden]]]]
{{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.

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.

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.
{{-}}
====Keldeo====
[[File:Keldeo event art.png|thumb|200px|left|Artwork of {{p|Keldeo}}'s Ordinary Form]]
{{p|Keldeo}} is a {{2t|Water|Fighting}}-type Mythical Pokémon and the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. Its initial appearance in {{game|Black and White|s}} as well as the default in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]] is its Ordinary Form. In Black 2 and White 2, Keldeo has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Keldeo|second form]], its Resolute Form. After triggering an event in the [[Pledge Grove]], the other Swords of Justice—{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}—will teach Keldeo {{m|Secret Sword}}. It will remain in its Resolute Form as long as it knows Secret Sword.

In [[The Crown Tundra]], Keldeo can be found in [[Ballimere Lake]] after completing [[Sonia]]'s sidequest to catch the other three Swords of Justice. Placing the other Swords of Justice in the player's party and cooking [[curry]] on the small island in the middle of the lake with the cooking pot on it will cause a wild Keldeo to appear, making it the third Mythical Pokémon available in regular gameplay without an event.

Keldeo debuted in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', along with the other Swords of Justice.
{{-}}

====Meloetta====
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two Formes]]
{{p|Meloetta}} is a Mythical Pokémon with two different Formes: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}-type while Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type. Legend says that it once played a song and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Upon entering the cafe in [[Castelia City]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, a guitarist, who knows of the story, remembers Meloetta's melody. Upon playing it, Meloetta remembers the song that it had danced to.

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

{{p|Genesect}} is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}}-type Mythical Pokémon. Originally an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago, Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] and altered it with cybernetic upgrades in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

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

Three Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]].

====Diancie====
[[File:Diancie movie artwork.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Diancie}} running from thieves]]
{{p|Diancie}} is a {{2t|Rock|Fairy}}-type Mythical Pokémon. While never shown in the games, it is said to be the result of a {{p|Carbink}} that underwent a mutation. It can create diamonds to protect itself.

Diancie appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', where it is the princess of the [[Diamond Domain]]. It is given the objective to create a new Heart Diamond for the domain, as the current one is faltering, and seeks Xerneas and its Fairy Aura to gain the power to do so. It is sought after by multiple thieves who desire its diamonds and ultimately gains the power to make a Heart Diamond in an attempt to protect its friends from Yveltal. It appears with three [[Carbink servants]] and an elder Carbink named Dace.

It is the only Mythical Pokémon with the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], which allows it to transform into Mega Diancie.

It is also said to have carried away an entire castle in an attempt to steal all of its treasure according to some legends. Using an item known as a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa Confined can transform into Hoopa Unbound and remain so for three days, after which it transforms back to Hoopa Confined. It will also transform back if deposited in the PC. Hoopa Unbound was first introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} fails if used by any Pokémon other than Hoopa Unbound, such as if used by Hoopa Confined.

Hoopa appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' in both its Confined and Unbound forms.
{{-}}
====Volcanion====
[[File:Volcanion movie artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Volcanion}}]]
{{p|Volcanion}} is a {{2t|Fire|Water}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It uses steam from arms on its back to disappear in fog and blow away mountains. It lives in mountains uninhabited by humans. According to the editor of the [[Lumiose Press]], Volcanion may have an organ unique to it inside its body that is hot enough to instantly vaporize water into steam to use in attacks. There is also a report that suggests that Volcanion may have used its power to destroy a mountain range where Kalos was founded.

It made its anime debut in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', in which it went on a mission to rescue {{p|Magearna}} from a power-hungry man named [[Alva]]. It initially did not trust humans, but it changed its mind after seeing how Ash was determined to protect Magearna.
{{-}}

===Generation VII===
Five Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VII]].

====Magearna====
[[File:Magearna Fleur Cannon.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Magearna}} in the anime using {{m|Fleur Cannon}}.]]
{{p|Magearna}} is a {{2t|Steel|Fairy}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It was made by humans 500 years ago. Its body is entirely metallic and contains tricky machinery and a secret hidden inside. Its core, known as a Soul-Heart, is its true body.

It was first revealed in the March 2016 issue of CoroCoro. It is available via a [[List of in-game event Pokémon (Sun and Moon)#Magearna QR Code|QR Code event in Sun, Moon]], [[List of in-game event Pokémon (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)#Magearna QR Code|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], making it the only Mythical Pokémon available through an indefinitely active event.

Magearna has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|second form]] known as its Original Color form. The difference in this form is purely cosmetic; it is gold and red. This form existed in the Generation VII games but was not distributed until [[Generation VIII]], where it can be received as a reward for completing the [[National Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon HOME]].

It acted as one of the main stars of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. In the film, it is said to have been created by a brilliant scientist named [[Nikola]] five centuries ago. In the present day, it was kidnapped by [[Alva]], a corrupt minister of the [[Azoth Kingdom]] who sought to use Magearna's powers for his own selfish purposes.
{{-}}

====Marshadow====
[[File:Marshadow Z Move artwork.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Marshadow}} using its exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}}]]
{{p|Marshadow}} is a {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}}-type Mythical Pokémon. Its very existence is the stuff of legends, as very few people have ever seen it. Marshadow is known to travel through the shadows of humans and Pokémon in order to become stronger by copying the power of movements within said shadows.

It can utilize a unique Z-Crystal, the [[Marshadium Z]], which allows it to use the Z-Move [[Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike]]. This Z-Crystal came with a promotional Marshadow in Pokémon Sun and Moon but is also available in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon by showing Marshadow to a man in the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City.

Marshadow was officially revealed on April 7, 2017.

Marshadow appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' where it acted as a guide to Ash and his friends.

====Zeraora====
[[File:Fula City Zeraora.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Zeraora}} using {{m|Plasma Fists}}]]
{{p|Zeraora}} is an {{type|Electric}} Mythical Pokémon introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Zeraora can channel a powerful magnetic field trough the electric currents located in its paw-pads. The magnetic field allows it to levitate and fly through the sky and travel as fast as a lightning strike.

It was revealed on April 8, 2018.

Zeraora was again made available for a limited time to celebrate the release of [[The Isle of Armor]] {{FB|Pokémon Sword and Shield|Expansion Pass}} for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

====Meltan and Melmetal====
[[File:Melmetal and Meltan.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}]]
{{p|Meltan}} is a {{type|Steel}} Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It first appeared in [[Pokémon GO]] on September 21, 2018, by way of large numbers of {{p|Ditto}} disguised as Meltan. Meltan's identity was revealed on September 25, 2018. On October 24, 2018, it was revealed that Meltan can [[evolution|evolve]] into another Steel-type Mythical Pokémon, {{p|Melmetal}}.

Meltan is known to be curious and expressive. It is instinctively drawn to metal that it could absorb, as well as other Meltan, in order to combine and form Melmetal. Melmetal was worshiped in ancient times for creating metal.

Meltan can be caught when opening the [[Mystery Box]] in Pokémon GO, which causes many Meltan to spawn around the player for a limited time. Meltan can only evolve into Melmetal in Pokémon GO, requiring 400 Meltan Candies.

Meltan is the only Pokémon, and by extension the only Mythical Pokémon, that is only obtainable in Pokémon GO. Melmetal was once the same, but has since been distributed as a gift in [[Pokémon HOME]] given for transferring Pokémon from GO using the [[GO Transporter]], this gift is a special Melmetal capable of Gigantamaxing in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

A group of {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} first appeared in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]''. In ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', one of them was {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}}. In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Ash's Meltan evolved into {{AP|Melmetal}} by combining with the other Meltan.
{{-}}

===Generation VIII===
Unlike previous generations, there were no new Mythical Pokémon in the game data or code of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] when the games were released. However, a new Mythical Pokémon was added to the game in update 1.2.0.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* If {{p|Phione}} is not considered a Mythical Pokémon:
** {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that can breed; as such, it is also the only Mythical Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.
** {{p|Keldeo}} has the lowest base stat total of all of the fully-evolved Mythical Pokémon at 580.
* Every Mythical Pokémon along with [[Special Pokémon]] in [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one.
* Mythical Pokémon have almost always been unavailable in a regular playthrough of the older main series Pokémon games. The Pokémon to lose this exclusivity are:
** {{p|Deoxys}}, in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}
** {{p|Celebi}} (can be {{shiny}}), in the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}

* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
* {{p|Diancie}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s alternate forms, there are no {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, or {{t|Dragon}}-type Mythical Pokémon.
* All Mythical Pokémon only have a single possible Ability in each form.
* [[Generation VIII]] is the only generation in which a new Mythical Pokémon was not present in the debut [[core series]] games' data at launch.
* [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Dratini}} state that it was believed to be a Mythical Pokémon until it was caught by a {{tc|fisher|fisherman}}.
* {{p|Mew}}'s Pokédex entry in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} uses the words 'Mythical Pokémon' in its English entry prior to the term being officially used outside Japan.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were treated similarly to Mythical Pokémon in the core [[Generation III]] games and Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

* In the Japanese version of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Professor Rowan]] refers to {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} as Mythical Pokémon (Japanese: まぼろしのポケモン), at the [[Canalave Library]]. This was translated as "mirage Pokémon" in English. However, he also refers to them as a Legendary Pokémon later, at [[Lake Verity]].
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]] refers to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} as "Mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''Mythical Pokémon''). However, this predates the use of the term Mythical Pokémon in English and has a different Japanese name. The same translation is used in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
*The main series Pokémon game with the most obtainable, non-event, Mythical Pokémon is {{g|Legends: Arceus}} with a total of (initially) 7 catchable Mythical Pokémon (with [[Phione]] being endlessly catchable) and 5 unique Mythical species (including Phione).

Forces of nature

[[File:Forces of Nature Sugimori.png|thumb|350px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Incarnate Formes]]
[[File:Forces of Nature-Therian Sugimori.png|thumb|350px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Therian Formes]]
The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and Enamorus would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Black and White===
Tornadus{{sup/5|B}}/Thundurus{{sup/5|W}} will start {{pkmn2|roaming}} around [[Unova]] after the {{player}} listens to the story of an old woman on {{rt|7|Unova}}. If the player possesses both in their party, they can encounter Landorus at the [[Abundant Shrine]] on {{rt|14|Unova}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature while [[soaring in the sky]]. Tornadus{{sup/6|OR}}/Thundurus{{sup/6|AS}} can be encountered in the Stormy Clouds located near [[Fortree City]] if the player has a {{p|Castform}} in their party. Landorus can also be encountered in the Stormy Clouds located near Fortree City as long as both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]' Cliff World dimension by traveling through red warp holes in [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Ultra Sun, Thundurus is exclusive to Ultra Moon, and Landorus appears only if both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]], the Forces of Nature are among the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that can be encountered in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Sword, while Thundurus is exclusive to Shield; however, participating in a Dynamax Adventure hosted by a player of the opposite version allows both to be obtained. Landorus appears in both versions.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
After the player receives the [[Task#Requests|request]] "Incarnate Forces of Hisui" from [[Cogita]], Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus can be found roaming [[Hisui]] in certain weather conditions. Tornadus can be found in [[Bonechill Wastelands]] during a snowstorm, Thundurus can be found between [[Sand's Reach]] and [[Lunker's Lair]] during a thunderstorm, and Landorus can be found on [[Ramanas Island]] during sunny weather. After the player completes the [[Pokédex]] entries for all three and reports back to Cogita, she reveals that there is a fourth member of the group, Enamorus, which she presents before it leaves. Enamorus can then be found in the [[Scarlet Bog]] (in any weather). After Enamorus's Pokédex entry is completed, Cogita rewards the player with the [[Reveal Glass]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

==In the manga==
[[File:Forces of Nature Therian Forme Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in their Therian Forme in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Only Tornadus appeared in the [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]] manga.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear, with {{adv|Black}} encountering him in [[Nimbasa City]] after defeating [[Elesa]]. Later, {{adv|White}} and [[Shauntal]] witnessed Thundurus and Tornadus clashing while aboard the [[Battle Subway]]. The clash was stopped by Landorus, but just as he was dragging Thundurus and Tornadus back into the skies, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]] were easily {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]]. The Forces of Nature were later used by the [[Shadow Triad]] to defeat the [[Gym Leader]]s defending the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by the [[Colress|Hood Man]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Team Plasma gained access to the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature after acquiring the [[Reveal Glass]]. They were used by the Shadow Triad to battle {{adv|Blake}} at the [[Cold Storage]] and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} near the [[Giant Chasm]]. After [[Kelden|Keldeo]] broke the Reveal Glass, the Forces of Nature were defeated, along with the Shadow Triad. Following this, the Forces of Nature escaped from Team Plasma's control.

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder;{{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests, and {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with a strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnation. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]], the Forces of Nature are among the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that can be encountered in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Sword, while Thundurus is exclusive to Shield; however, participating in a Dynamax Adventure hosted by a player of the opposite version allows both to be obtained. Landorus appears in both versions.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===

After the player completes the [[Pokédex]] entries for all three and reports back to Cogita, she reveals that there is a fourth member of the group, Enamorus, which she presents before it leaves. Enamorus can then be found in the [[Scarlet Bog]] (in any weather). After Enamorus's Pokédex entry is completed, Cogita rewards the player with the [[Reveal Glass]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Only Tornadus appeared in the [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]] manga.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear, with {{adv|Black}} encountering him in [[Nimbasa City]] after defeating [[Elesa]]. Later, {{adv|White}} and [[Shauntal]] witnessed Thundurus and Tornadus clashing while aboard the [[Battle Subway]]. The clash was stopped by Landorus, but just as he was dragging Thundurus and Tornadus back into the skies, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]] were easily {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]]. The Forces of Nature were later used by the [[Shadow Triad]] to defeat the [[Gym Leader]]s defending the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by the [[Colress|Hood Man]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Team Plasma gained access to the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature after acquiring the [[Reveal Glass]]. They were used by the Shadow Triad to battle {{adv|Blake}} at the [[Cold Storage]] and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} near the [[Giant Chasm]]. After [[Kelden|Keldeo]] broke the Reveal Glass, the Forces of Nature were defeated, along with the Shadow Triad. Following this, the Forces of Nature escaped from Team Plasma's control.

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder;{{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests, and {{wp|Ugagin}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with a strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnation. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

[[File:Forces of Nature Sugimori.png|thumb|350px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Incarnate Formes]]
[[File:Forces of Nature-Therian Sugimori.png|thumb|350px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Therian Formes]]
The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and Enamorus would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and Enamorus would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

Landorus can also be encountered in the Stormy Clouds located near Fortree City as long as both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]' Cliff World dimension by traveling through red warp holes in [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Ultra Sun, Thundurus is exclusive to Ultra Moon, and Landorus appears only if both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]], the Forces of Nature are among the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that can be encountered in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Sword, while Thundurus is exclusive to Shield; however, participating in a Dynamax Adventure hosted by a player of the opposite version allows both to be obtained. Landorus appears in both versions.

Tornadus can be found in [[Bonechill Wastelands]] during a snowstorm, Thundurus can be found between [[Sand's Reach]] and [[Lunker's Lair]] during a thunderstorm, and Landorus can be found on [[Ramanas Island]] during sunny weather. After the player completes the [[Pokédex]] entries for all three and reports back to Cogita, she reveals that there is a fourth member of the group, Enamorus, which she presents before it leaves. Enamorus can then be found in the [[Scarlet Bog]] (in any weather). After Enamorus's Pokédex entry is completed, Cogita rewards the player with the [[Reveal Glass]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

==In the manga==
[[File:Forces of Nature Therian Forme Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in their Therian Forme in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Only Tornadus appeared in the [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]] manga.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear, with {{adv|Black}} encountering him in [[Nimbasa City]] after defeating [[Elesa]]. Later, {{adv|White}} and [[Shauntal]] witnessed Thundurus and Tornadus clashing while aboard the [[Battle Subway]]. The clash was stopped by Landorus, but just as he was dragging Thundurus and Tornadus back into the skies, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]] were easily {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]]. The Forces of Nature were later used by the [[Shadow Triad]] to defeat the [[Gym Leader]]s defending the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by the [[Colress|Hood Man]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Team Plasma gained access to the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature after acquiring the [[Reveal Glass]]. They were used by the Shadow Triad to battle {{adv|Blake}} at the [[Cold Storage]] and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} near the [[Giant Chasm]]. After [[Kelden|Keldeo]] broke the Reveal Glass, the Forces of Nature were defeated, along with the Shadow Triad. Following this, the Forces of Nature escaped from Team Plasma's control.

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with a strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnate. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

'''Samurott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイケンキ''' ''Daikenki'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Oshawott}}.

In [[Hisui]], Samurott has a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Dewott starting at level 36. It is the final form of Oshawott in the Hisui region.

==Biology==
[[File:Unova starters evolution artwork.png|left|thumb|200px|Poster showing Samurott standing on its hind legs and carrying its unsheathed seamitar]]

Samurott is a quadrupedal, blue {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resemblant of an otter and a pinniped. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and it has a red nose and eyes. On the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. A dull bluish-gray seashell-like carapace covers its underbelly, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, that appear to be made of seashells. The forelimbs' bracers contain swords called [[Scalchop and seamitar|seamitars]]. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords, and the upper segment and spike make up the seamitar and its handle. Samurott possess three black digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige. This tail resembles a war fan.

When in battle, Samurott can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight. In the time it takes a foe to blink, it can draw and sheathe the seamitars attached to its front legs; one swing can fell an opponent. It can silence foes with a glare or a howl.

Hisuian Samurott is a rare form of Samurott born from the influences of the [[Hisui]] region. The shell on its head has two additional spikes on its sides, and it has a wavy protrusion at the front. Its whiskers are also wavy, with the bottom part being much longer than Unovan Samurott's whiskers. The shells covering its head and legs have sharper edges and are black with red accents, as do its seamitars, which have a wavy blade. There is one less layer of shell covering its hind legs compared to Unovan Samurott. The innermost section of its tail is longer and colored black, while its claws are red.

Hisuian Samurott is said to have a cold and hard-hearted nature, and is deft with its shell blades. Unlike its Unovan counterpart, which prefers fighting fair, Hisuian Samurott will do anything to win a battle, and prefers to use tricks such as surprise attacks and cheap shots. It remains still and silent until it sees an opponent. Then in the blink of an eye, Hisuian Samurott quickly draws out its two seamitars before instantly thrusting at its enemies. The attacks Hisuian Samurott unleashes are comparable to the ceaseless crashes of waves, and can confuse and overwhelm opponents — a sight to behold. The wounds inflicted by Hisuian Samurott are said to take many years to fully recover from.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/samurott/ Hisuian Samurott | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref>

Hisuian Samurott is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ceaseless Edge}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Samurott Blue Battle Chess.png|thumb|Samurott in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Samurott, {{p|Serperior}}, and {{p|Emboar}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* At 2.099 seconds, Samurott has the longest [[cry]] of any starter.
* Samurott and its pre-evolutions were designed by [[Yusuke Ohmura]].<ref>[http://raim2005.blog18.fc2.com/blog-entry-911.html Pokémon Peer interview] [http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/pokemon-peer-interview-translations (Translation by Pokebeach)]</ref>
* Samurott appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. It acts as a bishop piece in chess, but can also move one square directly forward.
* Samurott is the only fully-evolved Water-type starter Pokémon that is not in the Water 1 Egg Group.

===Origin===
Compared to its pre-evolved forms, Samurott seems to be based more on the {{wp|North American river otter}} than the {{wp|sea otter}}. Samurott's design is also heavily based on a {{wp|sea lion}} and an armored {{wp|samurai}}.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (archived link)</ref><ref name="Dream">[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation of an interview with the developers of ''Pokémon Black and White Versions'' on Volume 201 of Nintendo Dream].</ref> While it was decided that {{p|Oshawott}} would be based on an otter, the designers had issues in creating a fully evolved form which was more interesting than just a bigger otter standing on two legs. At that point [[Yusuke Ohmura]] went to see real-life otters at an exhibit, but his attention was rather caught by the strength displayed by some sea lions at a nearby sea lion show, and thus decided to incorporate the body shape of the latter animal into the design. Furthermore, to represent the variety in the human population of [[Unova]], it was decided that the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary families]] of the [[starter Pokémon]] would be based on the West, China and Japan. In the case of the Oshawott family, it had to represent Japan, and thus was based on Japanese samurai.<ref name="Dream"/> Samurott's inspiration might also come from the lifespan of a samurai, from a child (Oshawott) to a military commander (Samurott).

Samurott's tail may be based on a {{wp|Japanese war fan}}. The "helmet" over its head appears to be based on the {{wp|Murex trapa|rare-spined murex}} shell. The markings on its chest make it reminiscent of a {{wp|giant otter}}. Its ability to withdraw, attack with, and return its blade may be a reference to {{wp|iaido}}, a Japanese martial art that uses similar swordplay in combat. Its whiskers bear a great deal of similarity to the facial hair found in some {{wp|Men-yoroi#Menpō|menpō}}, a type of facial armor employed by samurai.

Hisuian Samurott may be based on a {{wp|rōnin}}, which is a samurai without a lord or master to serve. The kanji 浪 from 浪人 (''rōnin'') literally means ''wave'', which might have been the inspiration for the wave-like designs all over Hisuian Samurott's body. Being a rōnin was regarded as dishonorable in traditional samurai culture, and many of them end up becoming mercenaries, which may explain Hisuian Samurott's {{t|Dark}} type. The seamitars it keeps on its arms resemble {{wp|flame-bladed sword}}s, also known as wave-bladed swords, such as the {{wp|flamberge}} or {{wp|kris}}.

====Name origin====
Samurott may be a combination of ''samurai'' and ''otter''.

Daikenki may be a combination of 大 ''dai'' (great), 剣 ''ken'' (sword), 鬼 ''ki'' (demon), and 剣鬼 ''kenki'' (devilish swordsman).

'''Typhlosion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクフーン''' ''Bakphoon'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Quilava}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Cyndaquil}}.

In [[Hisui]], Typhlosion has a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Quilava starting at level 36. It is the final form of Cyndaquil in the Hisui region.

==Biology==
Typhlosion is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a bulky, yet long and agile body. It is classified as a quadruped, but it is capable of bipedal movement. Most of its body is cream-colored, but its back and the top of its head are a dark green-blue. It has a short, rounded snout and small, triangular eyes and ears. When its mouth is open, its sharp canine teeth and thick tongue are visible. Each of its paws has five digits and there is a coarse, spiky fringe of fur along its rear. Across the back of its neck, there are several red spots that can produce fire.

Typhlosion is capable of making anything go up in flames when angered and creating explosions by rubbing its fur together. The heat it generates when ready for battle creates a shimmering haze that can also be used to hide itself. Though it is rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

Hisuian Typhlosion is believed to have been influenced by the energy emanating from [[Mount Coronet]] at the center of the Hisui region. Its ears droop beside its head. The fur on its back is a purplish-blue color, and extends to the front of its neck, forming a collar pattern. It has fire-producing spots all around its neck, covering the collar pattern, and these spots produce flames that wisp in a bright magenta-red color.

Hisuian Typhlosion is said to have graceful and refined movements, and a gentler, more pacifistic nature compared to Johtonian Typhlosion. It can often be seen staring into space; it is assumed that as Hisuian Typhlosion does this, it looks at the flow of life energy and searches for wayward spirits and lost souls to eat. When eating spirits, it is believed that the spirits are purified by Hisuian Typhlosion's flames, before they are guided back to the afterlife where they belong. Despite its peaceful nature, it can lose control of its emotions when sufficiently angered, and unleash ghost flames that can incinerate its opponents until nothing remains. It can emit a total of 108 ghost flames from the spots on its neck. Once unleashed, every single ghost flame attacks the opponents while taking on the appearance of ferocious beasts.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/typhlosion/ Hisuian Typhlosion | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> This can be seen in its [[signature move]], {{m|Infernal Parade}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Typhlosion M21.png|250px|thumb|left|Typhlosion in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]=====
Typhlosion debuted in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where it was {{jo|Jimmy}}'s [[starter Pokémon]], which he got as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]'', [[Mr. Moore]] sent out a Typhlosion to stop {{TRT}} from making off with [[Flannery's Torkoal]].

====Minor appearances====
Typhlosion made its main series debut in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', where the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent one to a student for use during a {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{p|Feraligatr}}.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Typhlosion was among the Pokémon that could be caught during the [[Pokémon Catch Race]]. Another was seen during a flashback.

===GOTCHA!===
A Typhlosion briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]], under the ownership of {{ga|Silver}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Exbo.png|thumb|220px|Typhlosion in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Exbo}}
{{adv|Gold}}'s Quilava, [[nickname]]d Exbo, evolved into a Typhlosion in ''[[PS148|Lively Lugia III]]'' to protect {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}. Afterwards, his larger size allowed him to be a method of faster travel (akin to Crystal's [[Archy|Arcanine]]), and with his increased power allowed Gold to hold his own and even overpower the [[Masked Man]].

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS272|Old Ultima Puts Them to the Test]]'', under the ownership of [[Ultima]]. It was first seen displaying its {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] alongside her {{p|Meganium}} with its {{a|Overgrow}}. However, this act damaged much of the surrounding landscape, as well as a large girth of the ship nearby, earning the old woman much ire.

A Typhlosion appeared in ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', under the ownership of a [[Pokéathlon]] participant.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
A Typhlosion appeared in [[GDZ67]], under the ownership of a {{OBP|monk|GDZ}}.

==Trivia==
* Johtonian Typhlosion and {{p|Charizard}}, along with {{p|Cyndaquil|their}} {{p|Charmander|respective}} {{p|Quilava|evolutionary}} {{p|Charmeleon|lines}}, have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
**Hisuian Typhlosion, {{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Delphox}} also share the same base stat total, though their individual stats differ.
* Typhlosion and {{p|Togetic}} are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation II]] not to {{DL|Core series|Pokémon|appear in the anime until the next generation}}.
* Johtonian Typhlosion shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
** Additionally, they are all capable of learning {{m|Eruption}}.

===Origin===
Typhlosion has traits of {{wp|honey badger}}s and {{wp|weasel}}s. Its thick body, long neck, small limbs, and short tail are similar to those of badgers of the {{wp|Meles (genus)}} family while its bipedal stance and color pattern are more similar to those of the {{wp|stoat}}. It is also based on volcanoes, which is reflected in its Pokédex entry, triangular sprite, and the ability to learn [[Smokescreen]] and [[Eruption (move)|Eruption]].

Hisuian Typhlosion appears to be based on {{wp|psychopomp}} figures, common in many mythologies. It may also be based on {{wp|Kamuy-huci}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} goddess of fire and the hearth, whose fire is said to act as a gateway between the human world and the spirit world. The ghost flames on its neck are reminiscent of a necklace of {{wp|magatama}} beads, which are associated with various spiritual beliefs, including the ancient Japanese practice of burying them in graves along with the deceased as offerings for the gods. Like {{p|Spiritomb}}, the specific amount of its ghost flames (108) may be based on the purified {{wp|108 Stars of Destiny}} of the {{wp|Classic Chinese Novels|classic Chinese novel}} ''{{wp|Water Margin}}''. Hisuian Typhlosion's {{Shiny}} coloration is similar to Johtonian Typhlosion's normal coloration.

====Name origin====
Typhlosion is a combination of ''{{wp|typhoon}}'' and ''explosion''. Its name is also similar to the word ''typhus'', a Greek word meaning 'hazy' (which would describe the effect that the intense heat Typhlosion generates has on the air surrounding it), and it may also be related to ''tephra'' (volcanic material). It could also derive from ''{{wp|Typhon}}'', a monster in Greek mythology who fathered many other monsters with his wife, {{wp|Echidna (mythology)|Echidna}}; {{p|Cyndaquil}} resembles an {{wp|echidna}}. Alternatively, it could be a reference to ''{{wp|Eulipotyphla}}'', the mammal group containing shrews and hedgehogs.

Bakphoon is a combination of 爆風 ''bakufū'' (blast) and ''typhoon''.

'''Decidueye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュナイパー''' ''Junaiper'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dartrix}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Rowlet}}.

In [[Hisui]], Decidueye has a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Dartrix starting at level 36. It is the final form of Rowlet in the Hisui region.

==Biology==
Decidueye is a tall, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an owl. The upper portion of its face is dark green with a thin, orange mask-like marking encircling its eyes. Its eyes are reddish-orange and it has a hooked dark green beak. The feathers covering its wings and back are brown, while the rest of its body is primarily white. The three feathers at the tip of each wing are structured similar to fingers and have lighter tips. The backs of its wings and torso are dotted with many white spots, there are six on each wing. The inside of each wing has a line of upside-down, reddish-orange triangles across the top. It has long legs, feet with two toes facing forward and two backward, and short dark green talons. Its tail consists of three long, green leaves.

A leafy hood covers its head and shoulders, and partially covers its face. The hood is smoothly draped across the shoulders and back, but has uneven edges. Around the head, the hood forms many pointed projections that extend over its face. A single white feather with a reddish-orange base extends from the top of its hood. In the center of its chest is a reddish-orange X shape formed by dead leaves with two thin green vines extending from it. Pulling on the vines closes the hood further over Decidueye's face and improves its focus.

While this Pokémon is cool and cautious by nature, it begins to panic if surprised. It can hide from opponents by masking its presence, allowing it to attack unaware foes.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/decidueye/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Decidueye]</ref> It takes only a tenth of a second for it to pluck, aim, and fire an arrow quill from its wings. It is not only quick but also accurate, capable of striking targets over half a mile away. Decidueye is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Spirit Shackle}} and the corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|Sinister Arrow Raid}}.

Compared to Alolan Decidueye, Hisuian Decidueye has a smaller wing area and thicker legs. The plumes around its ankles are longer, its feet are black with white talons, and its tail feathers are red. Its head and neck covering are also red, with orange and white accents, and together they resemble an ''ayaigasa''.<ref name=ayaigasa>http://www.kasama.or.jp/english/yabusame/</ref> Its wings appear to have more layers, and the rachises of its feathers are capable of storing air, allowing it to withstand the extreme cold of the [[Hisui]] [[region]].

Hisuian Decidueye is said to have a stalwart, fierce personality, although it will tolerate those who do not act hostile towards it. Unlike its Alolan counterpart, it prefers to fight at close-range in order to overwhelm enemies. It tends to have a nomadic lifestyle, wandering the region in search of food. Its legs can deliver powerful kicks that can knock down trees and destroy boulders. Hisuian Decidueye's signature strategy for attacking its foes is to fly forward to unleash kicks, then use its hidden arrow quills in order to deliver multiple attacks in a row.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/decidueye/ Hisuian Decidueye | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> This can be seen in its [[signature move]], {{m|Triple Arrows}}.

==Trivia==
* Official confidential art featuring Decidueye, {{p|Incineroar}}, {{p|Primarina}}, and [[Mallow]] was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016.<ref name="leakedart">[http://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg Official confidential art of Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina | Game Freak]</ref> From the leaked material it is known that Decidueye's code name was "フクロウ 3", or "Owl 3" during development.
* Decidueye was originally considered for [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], but director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] decided to go with {{OBP|Incineroar|Super Smash Bros.}} instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1087124581867958273</ref>
* Decidueye is the only non-Mega-Evolved starter Pokémon that has its secondary type changed.
* Decidueye and its pre-evolutions:
** are the only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Flying}}.
** are the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VII]] to be in the Hisuian Pokédex.
** are the only Grass-type starter Pokémon whose [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]] is not green. Instead, their color is brown.
* Decidueye is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation VII to have a [[regional form]].
* Of all Pokémon that have received a regional form, Decidueye's regional form was introduced in the shortest time after the species's introduction, being introduced just one [[generation]] later.

===Origin===
Decidueye is based on an {{wp|owl}}.<ref name=leakedart/> It is most similar to the {{wp|pueo|pueo owl}} in particular, which is a common physical form of the {{wp|aumakua}}, ancestral spirits in Hawaiian culture. This may account for its Ghost typing. Additionally, it has some traits similar to the {{wp|common barn owl}} – which in some territories is also known as the "ghost owl" – and the extinct {{wp|stilt-owl}}. In general, an association between the supernatural and owls was once a {{wp|owl#symbolism and mythology|very common}} motif, as they were seen as both bearers of death and disturbed spirits throughout history. Decidueye also shares elements with an {{wp|archery|archer}} and common depictions of the English folk hero {{wp|Robin Hood}}.

Hisuian Decidueye's earthy coloring and comparatively shorter wings seem to draw inspiration from primarily ground-dwelling {{wp|burrowing owl}}s and possibly from the color change deciduous tree leaves experience during autumn, signifying its growth. It also shows some similarities with {{wp|secretarybird}}s. Its hat-like crown of feathers resembles a {{wp|kasa (hat)|kasa}}, or traditional Japanese brimmed hats, perhaps the ''ayaigasa'' specifically worn by samurai archers for hunting or ceremonial purposes.<ref name=ayaigasa/> It may also be inspired by {{wp|Cikap-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of owls and the land. Hisuian Decidueye's {{Shiny}} coloration is similar to Alolan Decidueye's normal coloration.

====Name origin====
Decidueye may be a combination of ''{{wp|deciduous}}'', ''duel'', and ''deadeye'' or ''{{wp|Bullseye (target)|bullseye}}''.

Junaiper may be a combination of 樹 ''ju'' (tree), ''{{wp|juniper}}'', and ''sniper''.

'''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.

[[Special Pokémon]] is a subcategory of the Legendary Pokémon that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. Most Special Pokémon are Legendary [[game mascot]]s.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] are a related but separate group of Pokémon, which are usually {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive. In Western language media, Mythical Pokémon were considered to be Legendary Pokémon prior to [[Generation V]]; in Japanese and Korean media, the two groups have always been considered distinct.

No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Overview==
===In the core series===
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as interactable or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}} if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are ten notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. With the exception of {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Kubfu}}, and their respective evolutionary families, Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences|change form]] and are part of a [[Legendary duo|duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].

Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Legendary Pokémon typically appear just before the end, with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them.

====Statistical average====
High [[stat]]s are shared by most Legendary Pokémon. Considering [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]] as separate Pokémon.
{{BaseStatNoCat
|type=Pokemon
|HP=97.10
|Attack=112.73
|Defense=100.85
|SpAtk=115.76
|SpDef=105.46
|Speed=94.69
|Total=626.59
}}

====Multiple Legendary Pokémon====
Many Legendary Pokémon can be obtained at most once per save file (excluding [[Event Pokémon|Pokémon events]]); in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games. However, in some cases, there are multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species either found or mentioned in-game, even though they may not be available to the player.

* The existence of [[regional form]]s with the [[Legendary birds]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} implies that a trio separate from [[Kanto]] existed in an isolated peripheral population (in this case [[Galar]]) and hence formed a new species.
* In some cases, the [[Pokédex]] mentions multiple Legendary Pokémon of the same species.
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Latias}}: "''They make a small herd of only several members.''"
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Entei}}: "''It is said that one is born every time a new volcano appears.''"
** The Pokédex says about {{p|Cobalion}}: "''From the moment it's born, this Pokémon radiates the air of a leader.''" implying its birth is a repetitive occurrence.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, like in their remakes, the player can see a wild {{p|Articuno}} at the {{rt|15|Kanto}} gate to [[Fuchsia City]] through a pair of binoculars at any time, even after catching Articuno at the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] the Legendary birds are rare spawns, allowing the player to encounter and catch multiple of each in a single save file.
* Because {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}} are synthetic species, it was possible for humans to create multiple individuals.
* In [[The Isle of Armor]], the player receives a {{p|Kubfu}}, while [[Mustard]] also has one. Mustard's Kubfu will evolve into an {{p|Urshifu}} of the form corresponding to the [[Towers of Two Fists|tower]] not chosen by the player.
* Most Legendary Pokémon can be encountered multiple times in [[Dynamax Adventures]] in the Crown Tundra. However, the player can only catch one of each.
* Legendary Pokémon, that are eligible, appear in [[Battle facility|Battle facilities]] since [[Pokémon Crystal]] and are used by multiple trainers, especially leaders of such facilites. That happens independently from the ownership of same species by the player.
** For instance, [[Palmer]] has {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Cresselia}}, which are also available to the player in the [[Sinnoh]]-based games.
* Sometimes, multiple Legendary Pokémon seem to be present by comparing multiple games that happen at [[Core series#Timeline|the same time]].

===In the spin-off games===
====Trading Card Game series====
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], there are four [[Legendary Cards]], which are central to the plot: {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Articuno|P03}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Zapdos|P10}}, {{TCG ID|Promotional Card|Moltres|P02}}, and {{TCG ID|Pokémon Card GB|Dragonite|promo}}. The latter is a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

===In the anime===
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.

Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that they have in [[Poké Ball]]s, or even as a non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|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}}. A [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the [[Pewter Gym]] under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. Finally, {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{p|Silvally}}.

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}}.

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 60 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (60/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.

===Generation I===
Four Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], with one trio and one standalone Legendary Pokémon.

====Legendary birds====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
[[File:LGPE Legendary birds.png|thumb|200px|[[Chase]] and [[Elaine]] fighting with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}]]
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 [[Season (mechanic)|season]] (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

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

In [[The Crown Tundra]], each bird gains a [[Regional form|Galarian form]].

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!]]'', ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', and ''[[JN040|A Crakling Raid Battle!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', and ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]''.

====Mewtwo====
[[File:150Mewtwo.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Mewtwo}}]]
{{p|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.

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.

In the anime, {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} 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, it 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.

In the anime, another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} appeared in ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', who also appeared as Mega Mewtwo Y.
{{-}}

===Generation II===
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.

====Legendary beasts====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|220px|[[Eusine]] and {{ga|Lyra}} discover {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]]]]
Like the Legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These Legendary beasts, so named because their features are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power. It is unknown whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply three non-Legendary Pokémon, and Ho-Oh reincarnated them as the first Legendary beasts. In the case of the latter, it is possible that these three would be the original three beasts, who created multiple descendants. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed.

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

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

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

====Tower duo====
{{main|Tower duo}}
[[File:Ho-Oh HeartGold SoulSilver TCG artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|{{p|Ho-Oh}} artwork]]
[[File:Lugia HeartGold SoulSilver TCG artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|{{p|Lugia}} artwork]]
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}}.

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 [[Silver Wing]]. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which [[Shadow Lugia|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive Legendary Pokémon.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', in which it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[Legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends travelled to the Whirl Islands in Johto. Likewise, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', {{OBP|Latios|M05}} was stated to have a father. This implies that some Legendary Pokémon can breed in the wild. Lugia appeared again in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.

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 [[Rainbow Wing]], atop the [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon and clearing [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow as [[Ash Ketchum]] started his journey, at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it. Ho-Oh featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
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 team]]s plotting to reawaken the ancient Legendary Pokémon for their own use.

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.

====Legendary titans====
{{main|Legendary titans}}
[[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third former 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.

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 {{si|Rock Peak Ruins}}, {{si|Iceberg Ruins}}, {{si|Iron Ruins}} in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}; and the [[Underground Ruins]] in [[Unova]].

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 {{an|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] of [[Generation VIII]], the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.
{{-}}

====Eon duo====
{{main|Eon duo}}
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
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.

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 [[Wallace]], their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In 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 [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[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 [[Mega Bracelet]]. After defeating Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an item called the [[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.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & 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 [[DPS02]]. Both Latios and Latias appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''; in this film, both of them were capable of Mega Evolution.

====Super-ancient Pokémon====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon}}
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon.png|thumb|220px|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
This trio of Super-ancient Pokémon, known by fans 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.

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.

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.

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. However, 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 Rayquaza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

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 super-ancient Pokémon 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.

===Generation IV===
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]].

====Lake guardians====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
[[File:Lake guardians anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} in the anime]]
The lake guardians, [[Sinnoh]]'s resident Legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

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

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

====Creation trio====
{{main|Creation trio}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the creation trio consists of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter. Like the super-ancient Pokémon before them, they each serve as the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

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

In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together 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.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as "mythical Pokémon" (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.

====Cresselia====
[[File:488Cresselia.png|thumb|200px|Cresselia]]
{{p|Cresselia}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon who represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare. She will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Feather]], 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 visiting the [[Strange House]].

Cresselia made her debut appearance in the anime in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which she fought briefly against a {{p|Darkrai}}.
{{-}}

====Heatran====
[[File:Ranger 3 Heatran mission art.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Heatran}} causing an eruption]]
{{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 Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at the [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]].

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

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigas PG.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Regigigas}} in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
{{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.

In the games, Regigigas is found at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}, [[Twist Mountain]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and the [[Island Cave]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, though it will not awaken unless the first three members of the Legendary titans are in the player's party. It is found in the [[Ultra Space Wilds|Cave World]] of the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]{{sup/7|UM}} with no prerequisites. It is also found in a certain [[Pokémon Den]] in [[Giant's Bed]] {{sup/8|SwSh}}, but will only awaken if all Legendary Titans (now including {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}) are in the party. Since the player can choose to capture only one of the two new Titans, they must obtain the other through [[trade|trading]].

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 {{an|Brandon}}.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
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.

====Swords of Justice====
[[File:Swords of Justice M15.png|thumb|250px|The Swords of Justice]]
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
{{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 a reference to it becoming part of the group later and therefore requiring more training to hone its sword skills).

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.

====Forces of Nature====
{{main|Forces of Nature}}
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|left|250px|The [[Forces of Nature]] in the anime]]{{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]].

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.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] of [[Generation VIII]], the trio becomes a quartet with the introduction of {{p|Enamorus}}.
{{-}}

====Tao trio====
{{main|Tao trio}}
[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} confronting {{p|Kyurem}}]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation, but fighting between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two brothers]] who founded the nation split them into two halves. Despite this, the two Pokémon do not willingly fight each other.

In the games, [[Team Plasma]] hunt either Reshiram or Zekrom in {{game|Black and White|s}} in order to use them to liberate all Pokémon from their owners. [[N]] captures one of them and defeats [[Alder]]. The other dragon emerges from the [[Dragon 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.

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 afterward. Reshiram also debuted in a cameo at the beginning of ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and had a large role in the "Episode N" arc, as [[Team Plasma]]'s target, appearing in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Reshiram and Zekrom make a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

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

Kyurem is the star of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' along with Keldeo, where it seems like 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]]''.

===Generation VI===
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.

====Aura trio====
{{main|Aura trio}}
[[File:Xerneas artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Xerneas}}]]
[[File:Yveltal artwork.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Yveltal}}]]
[[File:Z2 50 Percent Forme.png |thumb|220px|{{p|Zygarde|Zygarde 50% Forme}} in the anime]]
The Legendary [[game mascot]]s of [[Pokémon X and Y]] are {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, and they form the [[aura trio]] along with {{p|Zygarde}}. Xerneas and Yveltal represent life and destruction, respectively, while Zygarde is said to monitor the balance of the ecosystem and reveal its power when the ecosystem is disrupted. 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. Xerneas and Yveltal have the Abilities {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{a|Dark Aura}}, respectively, while Zygarde's {{a|Aura Break}} reverses the effects of these Abilities.

Xerneas has {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Xerneas|two Formes}}, appearing in Active Mode in battle and Neutral Mode otherwise. Yveltal has no form differences. Zygarde appeared only as Zygarde 50% Forme in Pokémon X and Y, but had {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|two other Formes}} and two further components introduced in the anime and in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Zygarde's other Formes are Zygarde 10% Forme, a dog-like Forme that includes 10% of Zygarde's full power, and Zygarde Complete Forme, whose power is said to exceed that of Xerneas and Yveltal. Its further components are Zygarde Cells, tiny cell-like creatures that make up Zygarde's body, and Zygarde Cores, cell-like creatures said to be its mind.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Lysandre]] captures Xerneas or Yveltal to use their power in the [[ultimate weapon]] to create a "beautiful world" in his image. Either Xerneas or Yveltal are captured by the player at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] upon awakening from their dormant forms. Zygarde 50% Forme can be found in [[Terminus Cave]] after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

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.

In the anime, Zygarde debuted in ''[[XYS04|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 Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&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.
{{-}}

===Generation VII===
[[Generation VII]] introduced eleven Legendary Pokémon, totaling 49 Legendary Pokémon. For the first time, Legendary Pokémon capable of evolution are introduced—six of these Pokémon are part of [[Pokémon Evolution|evolutionary chains]].

====Type: Null and Silvally====
[[File:772Type Null.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Type: Null}}]]
[[File:773Silvally.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Silvally}}]]
{{p|Type: Null}} and its evolution {{p|Silvally}} are man-made Pokémon originally created by the [[Aether Foundation]] for [[Faba]]'s "Beast Killer" project, which aimed to create a Pokémon with similarity to {{p|Arceus}} through data collected from [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Canalave Library]].

Although the project was deemed a failure and the resulting three models of Type: Null were put into cryogenic stasis, [[Gladion]] managed to evolve the stolen Type: Null that became his partner. He named the evolution Silvally.

In the anime, Type: Null debuted in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'' under the nickname "Silvally" and owned by {{an|Gladion}}. It later evolved into Silvally in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.
{{-}}

====Guardian deities====
{{main|Guardian deities}}
[[File:Guardian deities anime.png|thumb|250px|The guardian deities in the anime]]
The guardian deities are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who protect the islands where they live. Each of the four main islands in Alola has a guardian deity: {{p|Tapu Koko}} on [[Melemele Island]], {{p|Tapu Lele}} on [[Akala Island]], {{p|Tapu Bulu}} on [[Ula'ula Island]], and {{p|Tapu Fini}} on [[Poni Island]]. The [[Island Kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity.

In the anime, Tapu Koko first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' and gave Ash a [[Z-Ring]]. Tapu Lele debuted in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]'', in which it healed Ash. Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini both debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', in which all four tapu sensed [[Nebby]]'s birth. All four later appeared in ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' and ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', in which they helped Nebby evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}}.
{{-}}

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
[[File:789Cosmog.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Cosmog}}]]
[[File:790Cosmoem.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Cosmoem}}]]
{{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], they are the pre-evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}. Cosmog has a major role in the game as a Pokémon being studied by the [[Aether Foundation]]. [[Lillie]], the daughter of Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], spirits Cosmog away and nicknames it [[Nebby]], hiding it in her bag as she tries to learn more about it by visiting the [[guardian deities]]. Over the course of the game, Nebby evolves into Cosmoem and eventually the [[version mascot]] of the game: the {{2t|Psychic|Steel}}-type Solgaleo in Pokémon Sun and the {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}-type Lunala in Pokémon Moon. Another Cosmog can be obtained by the player in the post-game.

In the anime, both Solgaleo and Lunala debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter]]'', in which they emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] at [[Altar of the Sunne]] to create a Cosmog, which Ash found and cared for. {{an|Lillie}} named this Cosmog [[Nebby]]. It evolved into Cosmoem in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'' and then into Solgaleo in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]''.
{{-}}

====Light trio====
{{main|Light trio}}
[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Solgaleo Lunala artwork.png|thumb|220px|Light trio]]
The Light trio is a group consisting of {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} who resemble the [[Ultra Beast]]s and has given light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowing down to them and worshiped them. The Guardian Deities battled them and lost, gifting them the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat.

Necrozma was believed to have come from an [[Ultra Space|alternate dimension]] long ago. It has a major role in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, where as the "Blinding One", it once shared light across [[Alola]] and Ultra Space before an unknown injury caused Necrozma to lose its true form. This resulted in Necrozma becoming extremely vicious and constantly in pain, which made it steal light from other worlds or the Solgaleo and Lunala in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had.

Solgaleo and Lunala have form like-transformations known as {{form|Solgaleo and Lunala|Radiant Sun phase and Full Moon phase}} respectively when using their powers. Necrozma has three additional forms introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. It transforms into the first two, called Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, when it has absorbed Solgaleo and Lunala, respectively. Either of these two forms can further transform into the third, Ultra Necrozma, after absorbing enough light to restore its true form.

In the anime, Solgaleo and Lunala both debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where the pair emerged from two [[Ultra Wormhole]] at [[Altar of the Sunne]] to create a {{p|Cosmog}}, which it then gave to the [[guardian deities]] to be placed in a location when it will be found by {{Ash}}. Ultra Necrozma debuted in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'' in a book mentioned by [[Acerola]], which revealed how Ultra Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunala brought light to [[Alola]] and how Ultra Necrozma earned the title of the "Blinding One".

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], 11 Legendary Pokémon were introduced, bringing the total to 60. Of these, three were introduced in the base game of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], two were introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]], and the remaining five were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]]. Additionally, The Crown Tundra introduced [[regional form]]s of three Legendary Pokémon from Generation I. One additional Legendary Pokémon was added in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

====Hero duo====
{{main|Hero duo}}
[[File:Hero duo.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}]]
{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} are Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. In ages past, these two Pokémon worked together to protect [[Galar]] from a calamity known as the [[Darkest Day]], defeating {{p|Eternatus}} before retreating to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to slumber. The two Pokémon were nearly forgotten by history until the truth behind the legend was discovered by [[Sonia]], with the help of {{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}} and their [[rival]], [[Hop]]. The truth of the legend was eventually published in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], and became a point of contention from two brothers, [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who claim to be descendants for the old kings.
{{-}}

====Eternatus====
[[File:890Eternatus.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Eternatus}}]]
{{p|Eternatus}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] that crash-landed 20,000 years ago. In ancient times, it threatened to destroy the [[Galar]] region in an event known as the [[Darkest Day]]. [[Rose]] tried to revive this Pokémon and bring about the second Darkest Day, but was thwarted by Victor/Gloria and Hop, who brought back the Legendary Heroes, Zacian and Zamazenta, to stop Eternatus in its Eternamax form once more.
{{-}}

====Kubfu and Urshifu====
{{p|Kubfu}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]] that is given to the player by [[Mustard]] after completing three trials of the [[Master Dojo]]. It is referred to as the "sacred armor" of the Master Dojo. Once the player trains with Kubfu at either the [[Tower of Darkness]] or the [[Tower of Waters]] in the Towers of Two Fists challenge, it will evolve into {{p|Urshifu}}. Urshifu has two different forms depending on the tower it trained in: Single Strike Style for the Tower of Darkness, and Rapid Strike Style for the Tower of Waters.

It has been confirmed that there exists multiple instances of Kubfu, as both the player and Mustard own one, as seen at the end of the Towers of Two Fists challenge.

[[File:895Regidrago.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Regidrago}}]]
{{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} are two new members of the [[Legendary titans]] that were introduced in ''The Crown Tundra''. Both were said to have the strongest power of any {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon and both were sealed away by ancient people due to how dangerous they were. They can be encountered in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] after brining and capturing the original [[Legendary titans]]. However, only one of the Titans can be captured, while the other one becomes unavailable to the player.
{{-}}

====Galarian Legendary birds====
In the [[Crown Tundra]], the [[regional form]]s of the Legendary birds are introduced. These variants migrate every several decades to the Dyna Tree at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] in the [[Crown Tundra]]. The trio fight each other over it every time they meet. For a time, the Galarian Legendary birds were believed be the same as the Kantonian [[Legendary birds]] due to them possessing similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}}, respectively. The trio shares the same secondary [[type]], [[Flying (type)|Flying]], as their Kantonian counterparts, but they have a different primary type and [[Ability]] each.

The Trio can be encountered at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] which triggers a cutscene which all three flee to the three different spots in [[Galar]]. Articuno can be found in the [[Crown Tundra]], Zapdos in the [[Wild Area]], and Moltres in the [[Isle of Armor]].

[[File:897Spectrier.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Spectrier}}]]
Glastrier and Spectrier were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]]. Only one of the two Legendary Pokémon are available; the location at which the player plants the Carrot Seeds determines which one. The steed once ruled over the Crown Tundra. It regularly attack the humans and Pokémon living there who invaded its territory. The Pokémon determined by the Carrot is chosen to serve as the steed of {{p|Calyrex}}, helping it spread green across Galar. However, when Calyrex begins to lose its power from lack of faith, it abandoned the King Pokémon and was forgotten as well. {{-}}

It is characterized by its graceful and regal movements. Known as the King of Bountiful Harvests, it helped spread vegetation and harvest every year with the loyal steed it tamed {{p|Glastrier}}/{{p|Spectrier}}. However, in time, people began to forget about Calyrex and it slowly lost its powers with {{p|Glastrier}}/{{p|Spectrier}} abandoning it as a result. Calyrex remains alone and forgotten until encountered by the player.

====Enamorus====
[[File:905Enamorus.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Enamorus}}]]
{{p|Enamorus}} is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Enamorus is the fourth member of the [[Forces of Nature]].

While its known to be kind with its love, it will not hesitate to punish those who disrespect life. Enamorus can be encountered in Crimson Mirelands after capturing and filling the Pokédex entires of the other [[Forces of Nature]].

==Trivia==

* There have been Legendary Pokémon of every type except {{t|Bug}} type (excluding Silvally holding a [[Bug Memory]]).
* Every Special and Mythical Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one; other Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are marked by a special green one.
* {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, and {{p|Urshifu}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
* In an interview promoting the launch of {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that 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.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html 女子大生が訊く『ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト』] (archive)</ref> This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[Forces of Nature]], {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}} and {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only—the [[Mew duo]]).
* Each member of the [[Legendary beasts]] and the [[Tao trio]] has its own remix of each trio's designated battle theme:
** In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Suicune's theme uses bells, Entei's theme uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's theme is synthesized.
** Reshiram's theme employs a burning fire effect, Zekrom's theme employs a crackling thunder effect, and normal Kyurem's theme features an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Legendary birds 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 eighteen 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}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], [[Pokémon X and Y|X, Y]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!,]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]] and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl]]).
* Every Legendary Pokémon has slow [[List of Pokémon by experience type|leveling rate]].
* Even though {{p|Unown}} is not 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 within the canon of the movie, it is specifically referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
** In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] [[Explorers of Sky|and Sky]], the [[Adventure Log]] lists recruiting Unown as an accomplishment. The Adventure Log otherwise only lists Mythical and Legendary Pokémon recruits, with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}.
* Even though {{p|Rotom}} is not a Legendary or [[Mythical Pokémon]], it is mentioned in the list of Sinnoh's Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from [[Charon]]'s notebook in the chapter ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]'' from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}} has been sometimes treated as a Legendary Pokémon.
** Arceus is called a Legendary Pokémon by {{mas|Norman}} in the "Challenge the Normal Types" [[Daily Type Rotation]] event of [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
** The official English website of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] used to refer to Arceus as a Legendary Pokémon, which was later corrected to Mythical Pokémon.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> In the Japanese website, it has been referred to as a Mythical Pokémon from the beginning.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_arceus/ja/pokemon/210818_08/ Pokémon LEGENDS アルセウス]</ref>

'''Enamorus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラブトロス''' ''Lovetolos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Enamorus has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|second Forme]] activated by using the [[Reveal Glass]]. Its original Forme, '''Incarnate Forme''', will then become '''Therian Forme'''.

Along with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}, it is a member of the [[Forces of Nature]].

==Biology==
In its Incarnate Forme, Enamorus is a pink, slim humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which resembles a genie. It is a female-only species with no male counterpart. On its forehead are four sharp dark pink horns. Enamorus has white hair tied back, where the strands come together, shaped like a heart, and has white lips. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Enamorus's body is covered in dark pink spots, most of them shaped like diamonds, pebbles, and raindrops. Its chest consists of two joined, dark pink diamond-shaped pectorals, and its shoulders, elbows, and navel are adorned with designs resembling raindrops. It has two spotted thin arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a long, brown tail resembling a snake wrapped around its neck. Enamorus's tail has various hearts running its span, with a pair in place of where its eyes and snout would be.

In its Therian Forme, Enamorus resembles a flying cloud turtle and snake hybrid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The feet are red three-toe flippers connected to dark pink arms with single dark pink spots on the front legs. The trailing cloud surrounds its whole body like a shell, with the end having a small cloud tail; underneath the cloud surrounding its body where Enamorus bejewels a green gem where its navel should lie. The long, brown snake-like tail is placed on the cloud body unconnected to it. The tail has various hearts surrounding it entirely. In front of the cloud, there is a single dark pink hole where there is a long dark pink neck with three dark pink spots on each side. The dark pink face resembles a turtle with a long snake noise. Enamorus retains the four sharp dark pink horns on its forehead. The front of its nose has a white heart connected to a curved white mustache that extends to both sides of its nose, yellow eyes with beady white irises and no visible pupils, and short white hair resembling a short hat with strands shaped like a heart on top.

Enamorus is known as the ''Herald of Spring'' and ''God of Spring''. The reason is that it arrived from the sea into the [[Hisui]] region. This usually signals the end of winter and the rise of the spring season. Enamorus tends to reside in the Crimson Mirelands. Enamorus's love was said to have given rise to fresh life in the Hisui region. However, it's also known to be vengeful to those who disrespect any form of life. It will descend from the clouds and deliver a wrathful, ruthless punishment in the process. Enamorus can unleash up to four mini cyclones and surround itself with a cloud shield to protect itself from harm.

Enamorus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Springtide Storm}}.

==Trivia==
* Enamorus is the only member of the [[Forces of Nature]] to be female.
* Enamorus is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] to not be an alternate form of, or evolve from, a previously introduced Pokémon, although it is a member of a previous group of [[Legendary Pokémon]], the [[Forces of Nature]].

===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Enamorus seems to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, a harvest and fertility ''{{wp|kami}}'' represented with the body of a snake and the head of a man or woman. It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|Jinn|genies}}. The way Enamorus's snake-like tail is wrapped around its neck may be a reference to {{wp|constriction}}, a hunting method used by snakes, or to the {{wp|feather boa}}, an accessory worn around the neck.

In Therian Forme, Enamorus seems to be based on reptiles, possibly a {{wp|softshell turtle}} and a snake. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Black Tortoise}} of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}} constellation. Despite Enamorus being associated with spring, however, the Black Tortoise represents winter.

====Name origin====
Enamorus may be a combination of ''enamor'', ''amorous'', and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}).

Rabutorosu may be a combination of ''love'' and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}). It can also be taken to mean ラブとロス ''rabu to rosu'' (love and loss).

'''Sneasler''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オオニューラ''' ''Oonyūra'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Poison}} [[Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} when exposed to a [[Razor Claw]] during the day.

==Biology==
Sneasler is a humanoid Pokémon that shares some characteristics with a weasel. Its body is dark grey with purple accents around its face and ankles. Its fur is longer on its shoulders. It has long arms that extend to just above its ankles. On each arm is a dark brown spot, and its hands have three long claws, which are brown with three red lines streaking through. These claws are tipped with poison, which allows Sneasler to use its [[signature move]], {{m|Dire Claw}}. Like its pre-evolution, it has sharp, narrow eyes with red pupils and black markings resembling eyelashes on the edges. It has yellow diamond-shaped gems on its chest and head. Sneasler has three sharp toes on each foot. Its left ear has a long black and red feather that extends down to its back; it also has red and black feathers for a tail.

Sneasler's evolution was the result of Hisuian Sneasel adapting to live on cliffsides in the frozen highlands of Hisui. Due to its severe poison and deadly physical power, no other Pokémon species could defeat Sneasler in its habitat. Using its claws, Sneasler is capable of climbing up walls and cliffs with ease. Unlike its counterpart, {{p|Weavile}}, it prefers to be alone and not live in packs. Sneasler is worshiped in [[Hisui]] due to it being one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}}. In particular, it is one of the Ride Pokémon who resides in [[Coronet Highlands]] and assists humans.

==Trivia==
* Sneasler and its pre-evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1493600999038021632 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on February 16, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Like its pre-evolution, Sneasler may be based on {{wp|weasel}}s and the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' with sickles on their front legs. However, its humanoid appearance and {{type|Poison}} may be based on another ''yōkai'', the ''{{wp|ōnyūdō}}'' (lit. "big monk"), who take on the appearance of monks and are said to afflict illness to anyone who sees it. There are stories of animals that can shapeshift into ''ōnyūdō'', one of which being the weasel. Sneasler may also be based on {{wp|free climbing|free climbers}}.

====Name origin====
Sneasler may be a combination of ''{{p|Sneasel}}'' and ''ruler''. It could also be a combination of ''Sneasel'' and the comparative suffix ''[[Wiktionary:-er|-er]]'', meaning ''more'' (thus "more Sneasel", alluding to it being physically similar to Hisuian Sneasel apart from its larger size).

Oonyūra may be a combination of 大 ''ō'' (big) or 大入道 ''ōnyūdō'' (big monk) and ''Nyula'' (Sneasel's Japanese name).

==Trivia==
* Sneasler and its pre-evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1493600999038021632 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on February 16, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Like its pre-evolution, Sneasler may be based on {{wp|weasel}}s and the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' with sickles on their front legs. However, its humanoid appearance and {{type|Poison}} may be based on another ''yōkai'', the ''{{wp|ōnyūdō}}'' (lit. "big monk"), who take on the appearance of monks and are said to afflict illness to anyone who sees it. There are stories of animals that can shapeshift into ''ōnyūdō'', one of which being the weasel. Sneasler may also be based on {{wp|free climbing|free climbers}}.

====Name origin====
Sneasler may be a combination of ''{{p|Sneasel}}'' and ''ruler''. It could also be a combination of ''Sneasel'' and the comparative suffix ''[[Wiktionary:-er|-er]]'', meaning ''more'' (thus "more Sneasel", alluding to it being physically similar to Hisuian Sneasel apart from its larger size).

Oonyūra may be be a combination of 大 ''ō'' (big) or 大入道 ''ōnyūdō'' (big monk) and ''Nyula'' (Sneasel's Japanese name).

'''Basculegion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イダイトウ''' ''Idaitou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ghost}} [[Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Basculin|White-Striped]] {{p|Basculin}} after losing at least 294 [[Stat#HP|HP]] from [[Recoil|recoil damage]], not counting damage that results in it fainting.

==Biology==
Basculegion is a large, green fish-like Pokémon. It has a jagged mouth with pointed teeth. Its spine is aligned with a dark grey line, with a colored line along it and extending around its gills, in addition to having spots along its torso and plumes of smoke around its tail - in male Basculegion they are red, while female Basculegion have pale blue accents. Their eyes also match the appropriate color, looking fierce on males and drowsy or sad on females. It has a pair of white pectoral fins, a three-spiked dorsal fin, and a two-spiked ventral fin. Additional smoke covers its face in a manner resembling {{wp|Barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}; female Basculegion sporting shorter ones and lacking the two small fins that the males have on their chin in exchange for more blue markings around the lips and eyes.

Basculegion's evolution is said to be achieved by a surviving White-Striped Basculin being possessed by the deceased souls of other Basculin in its school who did not survive the harsh journey swimming upstream. When it senses danger, Basculegion will turn hostile and attack along with its souls until the enemy is defeated. The souls within Basculegion are said to have a will of their own and provide Basculegion with the power needed to swim on without tiring.<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/basculegion/</ref> Basculegion is said to have no equal in the rivers of the [[Hisui]] region. Basculegion is worshiped in [[Hisui]] due to it being one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}}. In particular, it is one of the Ride Pokémon who resides in [[Cobalt Coastlands]] and assists humans. Basculegion can move really fast like a dash and can leap over anything by jumping up twice.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Basculegion's appearance, and the background of the deceased souls of Basculin, is reminiscent of the {{wp|salmon}}, as some species are found in {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (where Hisui is based on) and its surrounding waters, and many of them don't survive when they migrate upstream. It may also be based on the ''itou'' or the {{wp|Sakhalin taimen}} (also nicknamed the "phantom fish" in Japan), a large, critically endangered species that likewise belongs in the {{wp|Salmonidae}} family and lives in rivers in Hokkaidō. As Basculegion is a conglomerate of many restless spirits, it may also be inspired by {{wp|Gashadokuro}}. Basculegion also shares some similarities with the {{wp|largemouth bass}} as well as other predatory fish such as the {{wp|snakehead}} and the {{wp|goliath tiger fish}}.

The male and female colorations of Basculegion may be inspired by the color schemes of some salmon species, such as the {{wp|sockeye salmon|sockeye}} or the {{wp|coho salmon|coho}}, during mating season. While both male and female salmon change colors during this period, the males usually become redder and more vibrant, while the females are paler in comparison. The colorations are also reminiscent of Basculin's Red- and Blue-Striped Forms.

====Name origin====
Basculegion may be a portmanteau of ''{{p|Basculin}}'' and ''legion'' (an army or a vast amount of people), or ''{{wp|Legion (demons)|Legion}}'' (a Biblical demon or group of demons).

Idaitou may be a combination of 偉大 ''idai'' (great) and イトウ ''itou'' (Sakhalin taimen). It might also involve 哀悼 ''aitou'' (mourning).

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Basculegion's appearance and the background of the deceased souls of Basculin is reminiscent of the {{wp|salmon}}, as some species are found in {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (where Hisui is based on) and its surrounding waters, and many of them don't survive when they migrate upstream. It may also be based on the ''itou'' or the {{wp|Sakhalin taimen}} (also nicknamed the "phantom fish" in Japan), a large, critically endangered species that likewise belongs in the {{wp|Salmonidae}} family and lives in rivers in Hokkaidō. As Basculegion is a conglomerate of many restless spirits, it may also be inspired by {{wp|Gashadokuro}}. Basculegion also shares some similarities with the {{wp|largemouth bass}} as well as other predatory fish such as the {{wp|snakehead}} and the {{wp|goliath tiger fish}}.

The male and female colorations of Basculegion may be inspired by the color schemes of some salmon species, such as the {{wp|sockeye salmon|sockeye}} or the {{wp|coho salmon|coho}}, during mating season. While both male and female salmon change colors during this period, the males usually become redder and more vibrant, while the females are paler in comparison. The colorations are also reminiscent of Basculin's Red- and Blue-Striped Forms.

====Name origin====
Basculegion may be a portmanteau of ''{{p|Basculin}}'' and ''legion'' (an army or a vast amount of people), or ''{{wp|Legion (demons)|Legion}}'' (a Biblical demon or group of demons).

Idaitou may be a combination of 偉大 ''idai'' (great) and イトウ ''itou'' (Sakhalin taimen). It might also involve 哀悼 ''aitou'' (mourning).

'''Wyrdeer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アヤシシ''' ''Ayashishi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} [[Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Stantler}} after using {{m|Psyshield Bash}} in [[agile style|Agile Style]] at least 20 times.

==Biology==
Wyrdeer is a snow deer-like Pokémon. It has a grey and white body with white spots and eyebrows. The antlers are gold with four spikes extending outwards and one black orb on each. Wyrdeer has a brown nose and black hooves. It has a white mane resembling a beard and a round, white tail. The lower portions of its legs are white with spiky fur on each one.

Wyrdeer is well-beloved by the people in the [[Hisui]] region due to its highly-prized fur, which helps protect it from the cold. Wyrdeer is also worshiped due to it being one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}}. The people in [[Hisui]] use the [[Celestica Flute]] to call for its aid. By using the orbs on its antlers, Wyrdeer can unleash psychic powers strong enough to distort space, and also create invisible barriers for protection. It also uses the antlers to lead {{p|Stantler}} herds and search for safe paths to travel.<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/wyrdeer/</ref> Wyrdeer's evolution is the result of Stantler in Hisui further developing their psychic powers in the form of their [[signature move]], {{m|Psyshield Bash}}. Wyrdeer's sturdy legs allow it to gallop and dash across the land, and jump over any obstacle in its way.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

The '''Incarnate Formes''' is the form the Forces of Nature tend to be in most of the time whenever they stay in a region. The '''Therian Formes''' is the true form of the Forces of Nature which they assume for traveling to different regions and when enriching the soil.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and {{p|Enamorus}} would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Only Tornadus appeared in the [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]] manga.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear, with {{adv|Black}} encountering him in [[Nimbasa City]] after defeating [[Elesa]]. Later, {{adv|White}} and [[Shauntal]] witnessed Thundurus and Tornadus clashing while aboard the [[Battle Subway]]. The clash was stopped by Landorus, but just as he was dragging Thundurus and Tornadus back into the skies, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]] were easily {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]]. The Forces of Nature were later used by the [[Shadow Triad]] to defeat the [[Gym Leader]]s defending the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by the [[Colress|Hood Man]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Team Plasma gained access to the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature after acquiring the [[Reveal Glass]]. They were used by the Shadow Triad to battle {{adv|Blake}} at the [[Cold Storage]] and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} near the [[Giant Chasm]]. After [[Kelden|Keldeo]] broke the Reveal Glass, the Forces of Nature were defeated, along with the Shadow Triad. Following this, the Forces of Nature escaped from Team Plasma's control.

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with a strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnate. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

The '''Incarnate Formes''' is the form the Forces of Nature tend to be in most of the time whenever they stay in a region. The '''Therian Formes''' is the true form of the Forces of Nature which they assume for traveling to different regions and when enriching the soil.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

==In the manga==
[[File:Forces of Nature Therian Forme Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in their Therian Forme in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Only Tornadus appeared in the [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]] manga.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear, with {{adv|Black}} encountering him in [[Nimbasa City]] after defeating [[Elesa]]. Later, {{adv|White}} and [[Shauntal]] witnessed Thundurus and Tornadus clashing while aboard the [[Battle Subway]]. The clash was stopped by Landorus, but just as he was dragging Thundurus and Tornadus back into the skies, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]] were easily {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]]. The Forces of Nature were later used by the [[Shadow Triad]] to defeat the [[Gym Leader]]s defending the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by the [[Colress|Hood Man]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Team Plasma gained access to the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature after acquiring the [[Reveal Glass]]. They were used by the Shadow Triad to battle {{adv|Blake}} at the [[Cold Storage]] and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} near the [[Giant Chasm]]. After [[Kelden|Keldeo]] broke the Reveal Glass, the Forces of Nature were defeated, along with the Shadow Triad. Following this, the Forces of Nature escaped from Team Plasma's control.

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnate. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

Forces of nature

Dingus99Boom: /* Myths */

{{incomplete|needs=The manga section needs expansion, ORAS}}
[[File:Forces of Nature Sugimori.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature, each in their Incarnate Formes]]
[[File:Forces of Nature-Therian Sugimori.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature, each in their Therian Formes]]
The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

The '''Incarnate Formes''' is the form the Forces of Nature tend to be in most of the time whenever they stay in a region. The '''Therian Formes''' is the true form of the Forces of Nature which they assume for traveling to different regions and when enriching the soil.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and {{p|Enamorus}} would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova.

Hisui

[[File:Hisui.png|thumb|250px|In-game map of the Hisui region]]

The '''Hisui''' region (Japanese: '''ヒスイ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Hisui {{tt|region|chihō}}'') refers to [[Sinnoh]] as it was known during discovery and settlement, in a historical period set prior to [[Generation IV]]. It is the setting of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Hisui may be derived from 翡翠 ''hisui'' ({{wp|jade}}) or 祕邃 ''hisui'' (arcane), the latter of which is synonymous to [[Sinnoh]]'s name origin.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Sinnoh}}

Hisui is likely [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} while it was still known as Ezo, referring to its inhabitants prior to the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}}. In 1869, the northern frontier was renamed to its current administrative title, which translates to ''northern sea circuit''.

==History==
{{main|Sinnoh#History|Sinnoh → History}}
According to [[Cogita]], the earliest human inhabitants of Hisui lived one or two millennia before the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. This society worshiped {{p|Arceus}} and built the ancient ruins that can be found across Hisui and modern-day Sinnoh, such as the [[Solaceon Ruins]] and [[Snowpoint Temple]]. A legend states that around this time, an ancient hero befriended the island's ten special Pokémon, who had received Arceus's blessing, and gathered the [[Plate]]s in order to find Arceus.

The next humans to arrive in Hisui came from across the sea. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] both worshiped a deity known as "almighty Sinnoh", with the Diamond Clan claiming it {{p|Dialga|created time}} and the Pearl Clan claiming it {{p|Palkia|created space}}. This disagreement set off a long-running feud between the two clans. Members of the clans also came to venerate the descendants of the blessed Pokémon, and some of them were tasked as [[warden]]s to tend to the needs of the blessed Pokémon.

The latest arrivals in Hisui were the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]], comprised of people from numerous other regions including [[Hoenn]], [[Alola]], and [[Galar]]. The Galaxy Expedition Team had been assembled to evaluate Hisui's viability for settlers, and to that end, it embarked on an ecological study of the region. A significant part of this study involved the creation of the first complete Hisuian [[Pokédex]] at the direction of [[Professor Laventon]]. The expedition brought with it newly-invented technology that allowed its members to conveniently capture and store Pokémon: [[Poké Ball]]s. Two years after the establishment of [[Jubilife Village]], a [[space-time rift]] appeared above [[Mount Coronet]], followed sometime later by the emergence of a [[Player character|strange visitor]] who assisted in the completion of the Pokédex.

==Geography==

==Trivia==
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Hisui is "Hisuian", as seen in the term {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}.
* During the post-game of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[Kamado]] muses that Hisui could be called the Sinnoh region after the deities the Diamond and Pearl Clans worship, alluding to the region's present-day name.

The game was announced worldwide on the {{pkmn|25th Anniversary}} of the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} on February 27, 2021 at 12 am JST through [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on January 28, 2022. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]] is transported [[Time travel|back in time]] to the [[Hisui]] [[region]] by [[Arceus (game)|Arceus]], who bestows upon them a device called the [[Arc Phone]] and the task of "seeking out all Pokémon". Upon waking up, the player meets [[Professor Laventon]], a [[Pokémon Professor]] working for the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]], who tells the player that they fell out of the mysterious space-time rift in the sky above [[Mount Coronet]]. After helping Laventon {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} his three runaway [[starter Pokémon]], they are escorted to [[Jubilife Village]], where they meet {{ga|Rei}}/{{ga|Akari}}, the Professor's [[Professors' aides|assistant]] and a member of the Galaxy Team Survey Corps. Since the player has no place to stay in, the Survey Corps Captain [[Cyllene]] accepts Professor Laventon's request to let them join the organization, offering them a place to stay in and food in exchange for working for them if they pass a trial set up for them. To help them pass the trial, Laventon gives the player one of the starter Pokémon they caught earlier. After passing the trial of catching a {{p|Bidoof}}, a {{p|Starly}}, and a {{p|Shinx}}, the player is formally accepted into the Survey Corps and given the mission of completing the [[Pokédex]].

While exploring Hisui, the player learns that mysterious lightning striking down from the same space-time rift they fell out is causing the [[Noble Pokémon]] around the region to on wild frenzies and attack people. The player is given the mission to visit each of these Noble Pokémon, each of which are overseen by a [[Warden]] belonging to one of Hisui region's two clans: the [[Diamond Clan]] led by [[Adaman]], and the [[Pearl Clan]] led by [[Irida]]. Each of these clans worships a deity they refer to as the "almighty Sinnoh", but they disagree upon the other clan's viewpoint whether this deity represents time or space. During their travels, the player also has several encounters with merchant [[Volo]] from the [[Ginkgo Guild]], who likes studying the history of Hisui, and the bandit trio known as the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune sisters]]. Whenever the player defeats a Noble Pokémon or befriends a rideable Pokémon, they are gifted with a [[Plate]].

After the player has managed to quell the last of the five Noble Pokémon, the space-time rift in the sky suddenly expands even further and the sky above Hisui turns red. Suspecting that the player, who fell out of the same rift, is somehow connected to this, Galaxy Team Commander [[Kamado]] banishes them from Jubilife Village and kicks them out of the Galaxy Team. The player seeks help from both clans, but they refuse to help in order to maintain neutrality with the Galaxy Team. Volo, however, agrees to help the player and takes them to a secret settlement, the [[Ancient Retreat]], where they learn that an artifact known as the [[Red Chain]] could help bind the world back together and make the rift disappear. To find the necessary materials to create the chain, the player visits each of Hisui's three lakes and receives a necessary material from each of the [[lake guardians]]. Once all the materials have been gathered, the lake guardians combine them together to form the Red Chain. With the Red Chain in their possession, the player returns to Jubilife Village, only to learn that Kamado has led the Galaxy Team Security Corps to the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] atop Mount Coronet to deal with a Pokémon sighted at the space-time rift. The player climbs to the summit and defeats Kamado in {{pkmn|battle}}, finally making him see reason and apologize for doubting them.

Depending on whether the player went to look for the Red Chain materials with Adaman or Irida, either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} appears at the temple. However, when the player tries to use the Red Chain on it, the artifact is broken to pieces, forcing the player to confront the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Although the player manages to catch it, the other Legendary Pokémon then appears as well, forcing everyone to retreat. Using a clue given by the Legendary Pokémon the player caught, Laventon crafts the [[Origin Ball]], a one-of-a-kind [[Poké Ball]] created out of the Red Chain fragments and a sample of the [[Origin Ore]], which they decide to use to stop the Legendary Pokémon at Mount Coronet. The player returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, where the Legendary Pokémon transforms into its {{form|Dialga and Palkia|Origin Forme}}, destroying the temple in the process, before challenging the player and its counterpart. After defeating it, the player uses the Origin Ball to catch the Legendary Pokémon, causing the space-time rift to disappear and returning the sky back to normal. With the appearance of both Dialga and Palkia, the Diamond and Pearl Clans realize neither of them was worshipping a false deity and set aside their differences.

After a feast to celebrate the player's success, Volo asks them to investigate the Plates and collect the ones they don't own yet. The player travels around Hisui and collects Plates from various sources, most commonly receiving them from the Legendary Pokémon of Hisui. Once the player has collected 17 of the 18 Plates, Volo tells them of {{p|Giratina}}, a Legendary Pokémon just as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, which was banished to [[Distortion World|another world]] due to its cruelty. He takes the player to the ruins of the Temple of Sinnoh, where he reveals that he was the one who caused the space-time rift to appear by seeking out Giratina, in the hopes that Dialga and Palkia's appearance would make Arceus appear and allow him to use its power to create a new world. He challenges the player to a battle, but once he's defeated, Giratina appears by his side and challenges the player, transforming into its own {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} midway through the battle. Once Giratina is defeated, Volo hands the player [[Spooky Plate|the final Plate]], at which point the player's [[Celestica Flute]] transforms into the [[Azure Flute]]. Volo is surprised by Arceus having chosen the player instead of him and leaves in anger, swearing to one day conquer Arceus and create a new world, even if [[Generation IV|it will take him centuries to do so]].

Once the player has caught at least one of every non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon species, they return to the Temple of Sinnoh and play the Azure Flute, granting them access to the [[Hall of Origin]], where Arceus challenges them. Once the player has emerged victorious, Arceus willingly sends a fragment of itself to join them and grants them the [[Legend Plate]], which allows the [[Mythical Pokémon]] to change its [[type]] mid-battle.

==Blurb==
Action meets RPG in a new kind of Pokémon adventure!

Research Pokémon for the Hisui region's first Pokédex. 
Catch Pokémon using your battle skills—or stealth and wits! 
Answer the call of Arceus, said to be the creator of this world!

==Features==
* The game features {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} as [[starter Pokémon]], and {{ga|Rei}} and {{ga|Akari}} as [[player character]]s. Other NPCs include the members of the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]]. The player character that is not selected appears in the story as an NPC.
* The game takes place in the [[Hisui]] region, a past version of [[Sinnoh]].
* All standard wild encounters are now [[symbol encounter]]s. Pokémon may exhibit different behaviors, such as fleeing, sleeping/waking, emoting, or becoming aggressive. These behaviors may differ depending on the in-game weather or time of day.
* The player may catch Pokémon from the overworld directly by throwing a [[Poké Ball]]. An aiming reticle appears on-screen during this. Hitting a Pokémon from behind with a Poké Ball when it has not yet seen the player greatly increases the likelihood of capture.
* Poké Balls have an "old-fashioned" appearance in this game, with a wooden bottom half, a buckle-shaped metal-colored implement instead of a button, and a valve on top that puffs out steam on a successful catch.
* To battle a wild Pokémon, the player must throw one of their own Pokémon's Poké Balls nearby. Hitting the wild Pokémon with the ball while it is unaware of the player will surprise it, causing it to skip their first turn.
* In the overworld, the player has access to action-related elements such as rolling and diving leaps.
* A feature similar to Ride Pokémon is present, with Hisuian Braviary shown representing flying/soaring, Basculegion representing surfing, Ursaluna representing finding hidden items akin to a [[Dowsing Machine]], and Wyrdeer representing fast overworld movement.
** Some unique actions are shown during this, such as having Hisuian Braviary change its flight {{wp|Aircraft principal axes|pitch}} angle, Basculegion leaping over an land obstruction in the water and down a waterfall, and Wyrdeer jumping.
* Particularly strong Pokémon with angry red eyes, known as [[Alpha Pokémon]], can be found in the overworld and in battle. These Pokémon may be caught, but are far stronger than others of their species and may possess moves they might not be able to learn normally.
*[[Noble Pokémon]], Pokémon sacred to the people of Hisui that have become frenzied through unknown causes, act as boss battles. To defeat a Noble Pokémon, players must throw special Balms to calm it down while avoiding its attacks. Occasionally, the Noble Pokémon will drop its guard and allow the player to engage it in a Pokémon battle; upon reducing its HP to 0, the Noble Pokémon will be temporarily stunned, making Balms more effective and allowing the player to throw them without any risk of being attacked.
* Pokémon can be sent out of their Poké Balls outside of battle; while this can be done no matter what the situation, specific uses include using them to gather materials from trees and mineral deposits, which gives the Pokémon used a slight amount of EXP (depending on the area) and increases their [[friendship]].
* Outside of [[Jubilife Village]], [[Pokémon Center]]s have been replaced by base camps, which allow healing, item purchasing, and the new item [[crafting]] feature.
* The player's [[Bag]] is now referred to as a "satchel". Similar to the bag of [[Generation I]] games, there are a fixed amount of "slots" for items, though the space can be increased by paying a member of the Galaxy Team at the base.
* Completing a Pokédex entry now requires more than just catching a certain Pokémon once, with other requirements varying from multiple catches to seeing a Pokémon use certain moves multiple times.
* The player receives a device called the [[Arc Phone]] early in the story, whose design distinctly resembles Arceus. Using it allows the player to see the area map as well as objectives.
* [[Time]] does not pass according to the [[Nintendo Switch]] clock, and the game uses its own system in which time passes. Players can also skip to a later time by resting.
** Every minute corresponds to an hour in-game. It takes 24 minutes to for an in-game day to pass.
** Every other night that passes changes the [[moon phase]], which is used for the evolution of {{p|Ursaring}} and one side quest involving {{p|Clefairy}}.
* Similar to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], EVs and IVs have been replaced by [[effort level]]s.
* The game uses a revised and simplified battle system:
** Moves can be "mastered" by leveling up. A mastered move may be used in the strong style, which increases that move's power but lowers action speed, or in the agile style, which decreases that move's power but raises action speed. Both styles use two [[PP]] instead of one, unless the move has only one PP left.
** The concept of turns has been replaced with an Action Order showing which sides are to get the next six turns.
*** Depending on speed, the use of strong style moves or agile style moves, as well as other factors, one side may get multiple turns in a row.
*** Moves such as {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which in other games require skipping a turn, and moves which have non-standard [[priority]] in other games, affect the Action Order instead.
*** The player is only presented with a menu, and thus has an option to run, switch Pokémon, or use an item, when it is their turn.
** The Freeze and Asleep [[status condition]]s have been removed; they are replaced by the new status conditions Frostbite and Drowsy. Drowsy make the Pokémon less likely to attack instead of preventing them from attacking entirely, as Paralysis does, while Frostbite damages the Pokémon, similar to Burn and Poison.
** Status conditions usually categorized as "non-volatile" expire on their own after several turns. Moreover, a Pokémon that already has such a status condition is not immune to other status conditions, the new condition replaces an existing one instead.
***Burn, Poison, and Frostbite damage after each action by the affected Pokémon, due to the replacement of turns with Action Order.
** Offensive and defensive [[stat]] buffs or debuffs cover both physical and special stats, expire after several turns, and don't stack (using a stat-reducing move several time merely restarts the counter of turns).
** Buffs to evasion and debuffs to accuracy are replaced with a volatile status condition Obscured, which makes the Pokémon harder to hit.
** The following mechanics from previous versions are absent:
*** The ability to [[recall]] Pokémon upon defeating an opposing one (the switch battle style).
*** [[Held item]]s.
****Because of this, all [[evolution items]] that once required being held have become usable items like [[evolution stone|stones]]. This applies to both items that required leveling up while being held (e.g. the [[Razor Claw]]), and that required the Pokémon to be traded while being held (e.g. the [[Metal Coat]]).
*** [[Ability|Abilities]].
**** There are in-game mechanics to simulate {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{p|Regigigas}}'s {{a|Slow Start}}, and {{p|Arceus}}'s {{a|Multitype}}.
*** [[Entry hazard]]s, with {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}} now causing direct damage along with further damage over later turns, similar to {{cat|binding moves}}.
*** [[Double Battle]]s. While the player may battle multiple Pokémon at once, they can never use more than one Pokémon at a time. In addition, they may throw a Poké Ball at any time without having to knock out all but one Pokémon.
*** [[Terrain]]s.
*** [[One-hit knockout move]]s.
*** In-battle bonuses due to [[friendship]] or [[affection]].
* The conditions and mechanics of [[black out|blacking out]] have been changed:
** Pokémon may attack the player in the overworld, and the player may also take damage by falling from high places. Taking too much damage will cause a black out, upon which the player will lose items from their inventory (and none of their money) and return to the last visited camp.
** Blacking out does not occur after losing a Pokémon battle:
*** If the player's entire party is knocked out during a Pokémon battle against a Trainer, the game allows the player to restart the battle, without any penalty.
*** If the player's entire party is knocked out during a wild Pokémon battle, the battle stops and the game continues, with the player unable to defend themselves against aggressive wild Pokémon until at least one of their own Pokémon is revived.

===New Pokémon and forms===
* Seven new Pokémon ({{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, {{p|Sneasler}}, {{p|Overqwil}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}) have been added, from which the three first evolve from already discovered Pokémon ({{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} respectively) and the three next from new forms of already discovered Pokémon (Hisuian {{p|Sneasel}}, Hisuian {{p|Qwilfish}}, and White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} respectively).
* Sixteen new {{rf|Hisuian|Form}}s ({{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Qwilfish}}, {{p|Samurott}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Avalugg}}, {{p|Sliggoo}}, {{p|Goodra}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}) have been added.

Forces of nature

[[File:Forces of Nature Sugimori.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature, each in their Incarnate Formes]]
[[File:Forces of Nature-Therian Sugimori.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature, each in their Therian Formes]]
The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus will always fight each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and {{p|Enamorus}} would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it durning winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo were revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Black and White===
Tornadus{{sup/5|B}}/Thundurus{{sup/5|W}} will start {{pkmn2|roaming}} around [[Unova]] after the {{player}} listens to the story of an old woman on {{rt|7|Unova}}. If the player possesses both in their party, they can encounter Landorus at the [[Abundant Shrine]] on {{rt|14|Unova}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature while [[soaring in the sky]]. Tornadus{{sup/6|OR}}/Thundurus{{sup/6|AS}} can be encountered in the Stormy Clouds located near [[Fortree City]] if the player has a {{p|Castform}} in their party. Landorus can also be encountered in the Stormy Clouds located near Fortree City as long as both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]' Cliff World dimension by traveling through red warp holes in [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Ultra Sun, Thundurus is exclusive to Ultra Moon, and Landorus appears only if both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]], the Forces of Nature are among the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that can be encountered in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Sword, while Thundurus is exclusive to Shield; however, participating in a Dynamax Adventure hosted by a player of the opposite version allows both to be obtained. Landorus appears in both versions.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
After the player receives the [[Task#Requests|request]] "Incarnate Forces of Hisui" from [[Cogita]], Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus can be found roaming [[Hisui]] in certain weather conditions. Tornadus can be found in [[Bonechill Wastelands]] during a snowstorm, Thundurus can be found between [[Sand's Reach]] and [[Lunker's Lair]] during a thunderstorm, and Landorus can be found on [[Ramanas Island]] during sunny weather. After the player completes the [[Pokédex]] entries for all three and reports back to Cogita, she reveals that there is a fourth member of the group, Enamorus, which she presents before it leaves. Enamorus can then be found in the [[Scarlet Bog]] (in any weather). After Enamorus's Pokédex entry is completed, Cogita rewards the player with the [[Reveal Glass]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

==In the manga==
[[File:Forces of Nature Therian Forme Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in their Therian Forme in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
Only Tornadus appeared in the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear. He appeared at [[Nimbasa City]] just after {{adv|Black}} won his Gym Battle with [[Elesa]]. Tornadus was next to appear; he clashed with Thundurus at an open field where a railway line passes through. [[Shauntal]] and {{adv|White}} witnessed the clash while on the [[Battle Subway]]; they also witnessed Landorus arriving to stop them from fighting.

As Landorus drags Tornadus and Thundurus back into the skies, [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]] captures them with ease. They later are used by the [[Shadow Triad]] in their assault on the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by [[Colress|Hood Man]] as part of [[Team Plasma]]'s attack on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature debut, all under the control of [[Colress]].

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>
* The Forces of Nature are implied to all be siblings, as Lady Cogita refers to them as "...Enamorus and her brethren."

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnate. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

Dingus99Boom: No editing this time but I’m still in the same camp. The fact that it’s a vegetable like the brothers instead of some other plant, the fact that it could be a reference to the throaty without confirming it, along with others. Also, we know it’s possible to have several descendants with the other characters, as well as pansage obviously not being used due to the dex, which is why Liam used Goomy. His dialogue parallels the brothers’ often. I think it’s sufficient but others can still decide.

Dingus99Boom: Undo revision 3473199 by Glik (talk) Feel free to delete this edit later if it's deemed necessary, but I think there is sufficient evidence AND similarity to Cilan as well to the point where we do not know for sure if he doesn't descend from him. Face is identical but older, green hair in an identical hairstyle, early game cook, japanese name is vegetable, wears striaton colors in his ninja uniform, and is most likely a secret ninja reference.

'''Enamorus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラブトロス''' ''Rabutorosu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fairy|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Enamorus has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|second Forme]] activated by using the [[Reveal Glass]]. Its original Forme, '''Incarnate Forme''', will then become '''Therian Forme'''.

Along with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}, it is a part of the [[Forces of Nature]].

==Biology==
Enamorus is known as the ''Herald of Spring'' and ''God of Spring''. The reason is due to its arrival from the sea into the [[Hisui]] region. This usually signals the end of winter and the rise of the spring season. Enamorus tends to reside in the Crimson Mirelands. Enamorus's love was said to have given rise to fresh life in the Hisui region. However, it's also known to be vengeful to those who disrespect any form of life. It will descend from the clouds and deliver a wrathful, ruthless punishment in the process.

Enamorus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Springtide Storm}}.

==Trivia==
* Enamorus is the only member of the [[Forces of Nature]] to be female.
* Enamorus is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] to not be an alternate form of, or evolve from, a previously introduced Pokémon, although it is a member of a previous group of [[Legendary Pokémon]], the [[Forces of Nature]].

===Origin===
In Incarnate Forme, Enamorus seems to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, a harvest and fertility ''{{wp|kami}}'' represented with the body of a snake and the head of a man or woman. It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|Jinn|genies}}. The way Enamorus's snake is wrapped around its neck may be a reference to {{wp|Constriction|constriction}}, a hunting method used by snakes, or to the {{wp|Feather boa|feather boa}}, an accessory worn around the neck.

In Therian Forme, Enamorus seems to be based on reptiles, possibly a {{wp|softshell turtle}} and a snake. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Black Tortoise}} of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}} constellation.

====Name origin====
Enamorus may be a combination of ''enamor'', ''amorous'', and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}).

Rabutorosu may be a combination of ''love'' and ''{{wp|Aeolus}}'' (ruler of the winds in {{wp|Greek mythology}}).

The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and {{p|Enamorus}} would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it durning winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, brining forth spring. The duo were revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian forms are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given the Theiran Forme are seen when they travel the seas while assuming the Incarnate Forms when staying in a region.

She reveals that Enamorus has assisted her in traveling Hisui, and decided to set Enamorus free. Enamorus can then be found in the [[Scarlet Bog]] regardless of the current weather. After completing Enamorus's Pokédex entry, Lady Cogita will award the player with the [[Reveal Glass]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

==In the manga==
[[File:Forces of Nature Therian Forme Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in their Therian Forme in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
Only Tornadus appeared in the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear. He appeared at [[Nimbasa City]] just after {{adv|Black}} won his Gym Battle with [[Elesa]]. Tornadus was next to appear; he clashed with Thundurus at an open field where a railway line passes through. [[Shauntal]] and {{adv|White}} witnessed the clash while on the [[Battle Subway]]; they also witnessed Landorus arriving to stop them from fighting.

As Landorus drags Tornadus and Thundurus back into the skies, [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]] captures them with ease. They later are used by the [[Shadow Triad]] in their assault on the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by [[Colress|Hood Man]] as part of [[Team Plasma]]'s attack on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature debut, all under the control of [[Colress]].

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* The Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>
* The Forces of Nature are implied to all be siblings, as Lady Cogita refers to them as "...Enamorus and her brethren."

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnate. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

'''Zekrom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼクロム''' ''Zekrom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Electric}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Zekrom is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]].

Along with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Kyurem}}, it is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

Zekrom fuses with {{p|Kyurem}} using the [[DNA Splicers]] to become [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]].

==Biology==
[[File:644Zekrom-Activated.png|thumb|left|200px|Zekrom in Overdrive mode]]
Zekrom is a black, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a dragon or dinosaur, with dark patches on various portions of its body. It has red sclerae, white irises, and black pupils, as well as a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout. Its head sports a thundercloud-like crest tipped with light-blue coloration. There are six pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, two in the upper jaw and four in the lower. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower lengths of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. Its knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. When its emotions surge, it enters [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode]] and its tail lights up with a blue light.

Zekrom's tail consists of a large, round, conical, and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion. This tail produces energy for its attacks and emits an anti-gravity field, allowing Zekrom to fly through the air with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and gravity. It can cause several thunderstorms in one area, and it normally hides in thunderclouds. In an Unovan myth about the twin heroes, Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought ideals. According to one myth, Zekrom uses its lightning to annihilate kingdoms of people who have lost the righteousness in their hearts. It is a genderless species. It is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Bolt Strike}}, though it is commonly associated with the move {{m|Fusion Bolt}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|thumb|200px|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
[[File:Zekrom Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Zekrom in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* In games prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Zekrom has a catch rate of 45. This is likely due to it being a required capture during the storyline of [[Pokémon Black and White]].
* Zekrom was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Reshiram}} on both the official English and Japanese [[Pokémon]] websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* On May 31, 2010, two weeks prior to the official revelation of Zekrom's [[type]], [[Shōko Nakagawa]] spoke about her love of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon on her blog and mentioned that because of that, she wanted to get a Zekrom. This statement was then quickly removed.
* Zekrom has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Zekrom has the same base stat values as {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Reshiram}}, but differently distributed.
* Zekrom is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Pokémon introduced in Generation V and the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Zekrom, as well as {{p|Reshiram}}, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a {{i|Poké Ball}} in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* Zekrom is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141011000532/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/24213/what-is-ken-sugimoris-favourite-pokmon/ What is Ken Sugimori's favourite Pokémon?] (archived)</ref>
* In the Generation V games, Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem use different variations of the same battle theme. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], however, Zekrom's version (featuring electric sound effects) is used for all three Pokémon.
* Zekrom appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Alongside Reshiram, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (three in Zekrom's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.

===Origin===
Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Zekrom's Japanese species: the Black Yin Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Zekrom was designed to have a tougher and more masculine design to contrast to Reshiram's light, airy, feminine design. While the black design matches Zekrom's yin species names (yin being characterized by dark), its masculine design contrasts with yin (yin being characterized as feminine). Zekrom's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Additionally, Zekrom has a more mechanical, man-made appearance, which contrasts with Reshiram's organic appearance. Zekrom in its Dark Stone form may take inspiration from the Jewish concepts {{wp|Urim and Thummim}} (possibly translated as “light and perfection”). In pop culture, they are commonly depicted as a white and black stone. Zekrom’s association with ideals would align with the idea of perfection.

Appearance-wise, it somewhat resembles a mid-sized to large theropod dinosaur, such as ''{{wp|Allosaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'', and a {{wp|European dragon}}. The crest on its head seems to be based on a thundercloud. The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Zekrom can be taken to resemble {{wp|Ahriman|Angra Mainyu}}, as opposed to Reshiram resembling {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, although Zekrom is not evil; rather it is an equally powerful opposing Legendary Pokémon.

====Name origin====
Zekrom is derived from 黒 ''kuro'' (black). [[Ken Sugimori]] has also stated that ''Ze'' was used because it was a harder, stronger sound than {{p|Reshiram}}'s ''Re'', and Zekrom is a "powerful, strong character."<ref>[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK, Issue 65</ref>

'''Reshiram''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fire}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Reshiram is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Kyurem}}, it is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.

Reshiram fuses with {{p|Kyurem}} using the [[DNA Splicers]] to become [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White Kyurem]].

==Biology==
[[File:643Reshiram-Activated.png|thumb|left|200px|Reshiram in Overdrive mode]]
Reshiram is a white, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with draconic, avian, and mammalian traits. A long, voluminous wispy mane streams out from the upper side of the snout and outwards from its head. The top of this mane is adorned with two protrusions, which resemble ears. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, and it has a small, pointed extension below the chin. Its eyes have blue irises and black pupils. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower.

Reshiram has a long and slender neck, with a fluffy, collar-like protrusion jutting out of two gray, glass-like neckbands. Its arms begin slender and arm-like but then flare out into a more wing-like appearance, sporting four claws that resemble hands on the leading edge. There are plates at the back of Reshiram's "hands", that sport a similar color to its neck rings. Reshiram has a feathered or furry feature on its chest, with the lower portion protruding outwards to a point. Long feather-like protrusions jut out of its thighs. On its feet are large gray claws, three at the front and one positioned at the back, resembling high heels. Reshiram's tail is a mass of plume and ribbon-like extensions, surrounded by two large bands, similar to the ones around its neck. When its emotions surge, it enters [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode]] and its tail lights up with a fiery glow.

Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail, which it uses to accelerate itself when flying at high speeds. It can send flames from its tail into the air to incinerate everything around it. By flaring its tail, Reshiram is capable of moving the world's atmosphere and changing the weather. This tail generator is also activated when influenced by either {{m|Fusion Bolt}} or {{m|Bolt Strike}}, which in turn powers up Reshiram's own {{m|Fusion Flare}} or {{m|Blue Flare}}. In Unova mythology, Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought the truth. As a result, it firmly believes in truth. According to one myth, Reshiram is said to burn down kingdoms of people who ignore truth due to being consumed by greed.

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|thumb|200px|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
[[File:Reshiram Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Reshiram in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* In games prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Reshiram has a catch rate of 45. This is likely due to Reshiram being a required capture during the storyline of [[Pokémon Black and White]].
* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a {{i|Poké Ball}} in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* Reshiram appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Alongside Zekrom, the player must lose a specific number of pieces (four in Reshiram's case) to use it, and it takes four spaces on the board.
* Reshiram has the same base stat values as {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}, but differently distributed.

===Origin===
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Reshiram's Japanese species: the White Yang Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Reshiram has a light, airy, feminine design to contrast to Zekrom's tough and masculine design. While the white design matches Reshiram's yang species names (yang being characterized by light), its feminine design contrasts with yang (yang being characterized as masculine). In both versions of the [[M14|fourteenth movie]], however, Reshiram speaks with a distinctly male voice. Reshiram's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Additionally, Reshiram has a more feathery, natural appearance, which contrasts with Zekrom's industrial appearance. Reshiram in its Light Stone form may take inspiration from the Jewish concepts {{wp|Urim and Thummim}} (possibly translated as “light and perfection”). In pop culture, they are commonly depicted as a white and black stone. Reshiram's association with truth would align with the idea of light.

Appearance-wise, it resembles a {{wp|wyvern}} with characteristics of other animals, such as birds, {{wp|pterosaur}}s, and canines. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails, as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Reshiram can resemble {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, due to its light and winged appearance, and the fact that it sided with truth, but also the fact that Reshiram is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and Ahura Mazda was associated with fire. Reshiram may also draw from folkloric depictions of dragons, in that its appearance may be inspired by the {{wp|white dragon}} of England, and its association with fire may also be a reference to how dragons are associated with fire in Western folklore.

====Name origin====
Reshiram is derived from 白 ''shiro'' (white). [[Ken Sugimori]] has also stated that ''Re'' was used because it was a softer sound than {{p|Zekrom}}'s ''Ze'', as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.<ref>[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK, Issue 65</ref>

'''Genesect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲノセクト''' ''Genesect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Genesect has [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Genesect|four other forms]], which are activated by inserting the [[Drive]] in the cannon on its back. The Drive is visibly different within its sprites depending on the Drive it is [[Held item|holding]].
* When it is not holding any Drive, the light is orange and {{m|Techno Blast}} is {{type|Normal}}.
* When it is holding the [[Shock Drive]], the light turns yellow and Techno Blast is {{type|Electric}}.
* When it is holding the [[Burn Drive]], the light turns red, and Techno Blast is {{type|Fire}}.
* When it is holding the [[Chill Drive]], the light turns white and Techno Blast is {{type|Ice}}.
* When it is holding the [[Douse Drive]], the light turns blue and Techno Blast is {{type|Water}}.

Genesect was {{n|CoroCoro August issue reveals 'Genesect'|leaked}} in the August issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on July 11, 2012, and it was officially revealed on July 14, 2012.

Genesect is the last Pokémon in the original [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black and White)|Unova Pokédex]] as well as the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2's Unova Pokédex]].

==Biology==
[[File:649Genesect BW anime 3.png|thumb|left|200px|{{Shiny}} Genesect in its high-speed flight configuration]]
Genesect is a bipedal, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a metal body and a saucer-shaped head. It is primarily purple with several gray markings. It has two large red eyes and a small white part that could be either its mouth or a vent. It has thin arms with overlapping segments. Each arm ends with a single, pointed claw from which it can spin a sticky string to create structures. There is a gray circle on each shoulder and a gray band around its abdomen. Its segmented legs each end with a large, upward-curving claw.
[[File:Genesect silk.png|thumb|250px|Genesect spinning its silk]]
The powerful cannon on its back and other enhancements were added as part of the modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]]. It is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}, an attack which changes type depending on the [[Drive]] it holds. Even before Team Plasma modified Genesect, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. By folding up its limbs and connecting its head to the cannon on its back, Genesect can assume a flying saucer-like form, allowing it to fly. This form is known in Japanese as the 高速飛行形態 ''high-speed flight configuration''.

Genesect was revived from a [[Fossil]] and technologically enhanced by [[Team Plasma]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] had the project canceled and the [[P2 Laboratory]] closed because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. However, {{tc|Scientist}} Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back.

==In the anime==
[[File:Genesect anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Genesect in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Genesect Army M16.png|thumb|250px|The Genesect Army]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Genesect Army]]====
The Genesect Army, a group of five Genesect led by a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, first appeared in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', where N found the ruins of a building and learned the Genesect Army was responsible for the destruction by using his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.

The Genesect Army played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. They went on a rampage in [[New Tork City]] while attempting to search for [[Genesect's home|their ancient habitat]], thus bringing them into conflict with a {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}}.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
[[File:Team Plasma Genesect Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Genesect in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Colress Genesect Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Shiny Genesect in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Genesect Army}}
The Genesect Army plays a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. Likewise, the group appears in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Momota Inoue]].

===Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~===
Genesect was a Pokémon created by [[Dr. Zeno]]. After it saved Dr. Zeno from being trapped in his lab, he decided to give it to [[Arata]] in order to bring out its full potential.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Blake's Genesect}}
A {{Shiny}} Genesect debuted as a silhouette at [[P2 Laboratory]] in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', where the [[Shadow Triad]] was seen testing its power. It reappeared at the {{un|Pokémon League}}, where it helped [[Colress|Hood Man]] escape. Later, in the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed to be under the ownership of [[Colress]].

In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with another Genesect, where it came into contact with {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}}, the former of whom ultimately captured Genesect. Although Blake had initially reported Genesect to the [[International Police]], he was seen in possession of it in ''[[PS536|Cold Storage Battle]]'', riding it through the [[Relic Passage]]. In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', it was revealed that Blake had taken Genesect for his own use without permission, despite it having been under strict supervision, which was one of the reasons why he had been subsequently fired from the International Police.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Genesect (TCG)}}
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Genesect_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Genesect trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Genesect appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. In the 3DS version of the game, it is unlocked after playing Endless Smash at least once. It jumps around the stage, repeatedly firing four {{m|Techno Blast}} attacks, followed up by a wide beam. Both shots can go through walls.

Genesect also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, Genesect was created from a 300-million-year-old fossil and later altered to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. It will follow up this attack with a long-range laser.''

'''PAL''': ''A Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon revived from a 300-million-year-old fossil, then modified to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. After using this attack mid-jump, it attacks its target with a long-range laser that passes through obstacles.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Genesect returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. Genesect also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Genesect is tied with {{me|Pinsir}}, Mega {{p|Scizor}}, and Mega {{p|Heracross}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s: both were created by [[villainous team]]s in at least one canon, and they were genetically engineered to be more powerful than the Pokémon they were based on.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon whose [[Pokédex]] entry names a villainous team, in this case, [[Team Plasma]].
* Despite {{m|Techno Blast}} being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive {{STAB}} from it unless both {{m|Soak}}ed and holding the Douse Drive.

===Origin===
Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, which existed for 300 million years, making it as old as the {{wp|cockroach}}. Its Steel-type features that give it a somewhat robotic appearance may be a reference to alien robots in {{wp|science fiction}} media, but this may be due to Team Plasma's modifications. Its design might also be inspired by the "artillery mech" vehicles in various {{wp|mecha anime and manga}} while also resembling the enlarged pronona of {{wp|treehopper}}s (family Membracidae). They also share a similar head shape with many treehoppers.

====Name origin====
Genesect may be a combination of ''{{wp|gene}}'', ''{{wp|genetics}}'', ''{{wp|genome}}'', or ''{{wp|genesis}}''; and ''{{wp|insect}}''.

'''Wyrdeer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アヤシシ''' ''Ayashishi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} [[Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Stantler}} after using {{m|Psyshield Bash}} in [[agile style]] at least 20 times. All Stantler in [[Hisui]] will evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Wyrdeer is a snow deer-like Pokémon. It has a grey and white body with white spots and eyebrows. The antlers are gold with four spikes extending outwards and one black orb on each. Wyrdeer has a brown nose and black hooves. It has a white mane resembling a beard and a round white tail. The lower portions of its legs are white with spiky fur on each one.

Wyrdeer is well-beloved by the people in the Hisui region due to its highly-prized fur, which helps protect it from the cold. Wyrdeer is also worshiped due to being one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}}. The people in [[Hisui]] uses [[Celestica Flute]] to call for it aid. By using the orbs on its antlers, Wyrdeer can unleash psychic powers strong enough to distort space. These orbs can also create invisible barriers for protection. It also uses the antlers to lead {{p|Stantler}} herds and search for safe paths to travel.<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/wyrdeer/</ref> Wyrdeer's evolution is the result of Stantler in [[Hisui]] region further developing their psychic powers in the form of [[signature move]] {{m|Psyshield Bash}}. Wyrdeer's study legs allow it to gallop across the land, can dash to move fast, and jump over any obstacle in its way.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Wyrdeer may be based on a {{wp|reindeer}}, or the {{wp|Yezo sika deer}}, a subspecies of the {{wp|sika deer}} native to Hokkaido (where Hisui is based on). Much like how Wyrdeer is treasured by Hisuian people because their fur makes for a useful clothing material, the Yezo sika deer is considered important to the indigenous {{wp|Ainu people}} of Hokkaido — they are hunted for their meat and hide, the latter of which is used to make clothing. Due to its white beard-like mane and eyebrows, it also resembles an elderly man or Santa Claus. Its antlers resemble {{wp|Shishi-odoshi}} or {{wp|Antenna (radio)|radio antennae}}.

====Name origin====
Wyrdeer may be a combination of ''{{wp|wyrd}}'', ''weird'', and ''deer''.

Ayashishi may be a combination of 怪しい ''ayashii'' (strange) and 鹿威し ''shishiodoshi'' (a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and birds away from gardens).
