'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of extremely rare and powerful [[Pokémon]].

In the Japanese version, there are three distinct terms used to refer to those Pokémon which are collectively called ''legendary'' in English. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' (''densetsu no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of legend''), refers to those which are featured prominently in legends, such as {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. The second, '''幻のポケモン''' (''maboroshi no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of illusions'', translated as ''mirage Pokémon'' in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}), refers to those so rarely seen that some question their very existence, such as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lugia}}; an alternative definition restricts it only to Pokémon not available in normal gameplay. The third is '''神話のポケモン''' (''shinwa no Pokémon'', lit. ''Pokémon of myth''), which is a term applied to some of the legendary Pokémon of [[Sinnoh]].

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==
In the {{pkmn|games}}, the {{player}} typically has only one chance to capture a legendary Pokémon, but the same species have appeared in more than one game. Their [[gender]]s are usually unknown, with the exception of {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}}. With the exception of {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}, they will refuse to be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, and, for similar reasons, they are often banned from competitions. They are [[stats|statistically]] some of the most powerful Pokémon in the game. They never [[Evolution|evolve]], and many are one-third of a [[legendary trio]].

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, legendary Pokémon are generally held in higher regard than they are in the games, nearing a god-like reverence. They appear only to special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s (usually the case of [[Ash Ketchum]]). Very few people have actually seen legendary Pokémon. Because of their rarity, they are sought after by trainers and collectors, especially by [[villainous team]]s like [[Team Rocket]].

It has been predicted (and demonstrated) that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon can lead to great catastrophe, as they often hold a pivotal role in nature. But some speculate that if a trainer were to "play by the rules," the results would not be as chaotic. {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}, for example, befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{p|Articuno}} and its power never exceeded him. It should be noted, however, that Noland is a very skilled trainer.

As seen with {{p|Lugia}}, some breed in the wild; as seen with {{p|Celebi}}, they are neither immortal nor invincible; and only very few (notably {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Arceus}}) are unique.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
There are 35 Pokémon considered to be legendary Pokémon, and there are several more with certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon.

===[[Generation I]]===
The legendary Pokémon of Generation I can be broken into two groups: the Legendary Birds and the Mew-based legendary Pokémon.

====Legendary birds====
[[Image:Legend-birds-slab.jpg|thumb|right|270px|An ancient slab of the Legendary Birds and an Arcanine seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. Ash mistakenly identified {{p|Articuno|the blue one}} as {{p|Ho-Oh}}.]]
There are three [[legendary birds]], also referred to as winged mirages. The Legendary Birds are each based off a mythical bird.

As shown in the [[The Power of One|second movie]], should the three birds be disturbed and turned against each other, they will fight over territory, and, left unabated, their battles will ultimately cause the end of the world. They represent nature's balance and are tied to {{p|Lugia}}. They are strongly linked to the elements {{t|fire}}, {{t|ice}}, and {{t|electric|lightning}}— forces that when combined are believed to yield both the origin of life and the cause of apocalyptic weather disasters. Some fans believe that this scenario applies only to the three birds found near [[Shamouti Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], and that this characteristic does not extend to their species.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], it was shown that the legendary birds could breed, as the player could hatch them from eggs around [[Pokémon Island]] by introducing the eggs to their corresponding element.
* '''{{MS|144}} {{p|Articuno}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|ice}}. It can be found on [[Seafoam Islands]] in the Generation I games and their [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]]. In addition to the one in the Orange Islands, a second one was seen in the [[Johto]] region in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. A third one was seen in the [[Kanto]] region, with {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* '''{{MS|145}} {{p|Zapdos}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|Electric|thunder}}. It can be found at the [[Power Plant]] in the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes. In addition to the one in the Orange Islands, a second one was seen in the Johto region in the episode ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', and a third was seen in the credits of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the sea, flying Jack Walker after he captured it with his Capture Styler. A fourth one that was spotted by [[Team Rocket]] in Sinnoh in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''.
* '''{{MS|146}} {{p|Moltres}}''' is the legendary bird of {{t|fire}}. It can be found on {{ka|Victory Road}} in the Generation I games, and in the [[Sevii Islands]] in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. The spirit of Moltres represents the [[Indigo League]] and its flame came alive in the episode ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]''. It also appeared to [[Ritchie]] at [[Sevii Islands]] in the anime.

====Mew and Mewtwo====
[[Image:Mewtwo_mew.jpg|thumb|left|Mewtwo and Mew]]
* '''{{MS|151}} {{p|Mew}}''' is the {{t|Psychic}} feline Pokémon of ancient legend. It is not obtainable by normal means in any game; however, a [[Mew glitch|glitch]] allows the player to battle and capture Mew in [[Generation I]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, a Nintendo event gave out the Old Sea Map that would take the player to [[Faraway Island]], where Mew could be caught. In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], it is possible to obtain a Mew after depositing 999 Pokémon onto your ranch. It is said to be able to live forever. The DNA of all Pokémon can be traced back to Mew, and thus it represents the origin of life. The bubbly Mew was first seen in the [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|first movie]], and later in the special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Another is seen in the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]]. A mirage Mew was seen in the Master of Mirage Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|150}} {{p|Mewtwo}}''' is a genetically altered, unique clone of Mew. It can be found in the [[Cerulean Cave]] in the Generation I games and their remakes. It was statistically the most powerful Pokémon until Generation II. It is also one of the most intelligent, and can communicate freely with humans using telepathy. It is the main character of the first movie, and the ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' specials. After the events of Mewtwo Returns, it is portrayed as taking the cover of night and living amongst humans in big cities.

===[[Generation II]]===
Generation II featured the advent of three new groups of legendary Pokémon, consisting of a total of six.
====Legendary beasts====
[[Image:Legendary-beasts.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.]]
The [[legendary beasts]] have variously been referred to as legendary dogs or cats, but beasts is the accepted neutral title. These speedy, powerful creatures were created by Ho-Oh after the burning of [[Brass Tower]]. Because they are unable to restrain their extreme power, they race headlong around the land. They can be found racing around the Johto region in the Generation II games. One can also be found roaming Kanto, after the player gets the National Pokédex, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, depending on the [[starter Pokémon]] the user chooses at the beginning of the game. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], it is possible to snag all three legendary beasts.
* '''{{MS|243}} {{p|Raikou}}''' is the embodiment of thunder. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Squirtle}}. Raikou was twice seen in the Johto region. It was briefly seen in the episode ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and also in the ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special.
* '''{{MS|244}} {{p|Entei}}''' is the embodiment of volcanoes. According to legend, one is born every time a new volcano appears. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Bulbasaur}}. An Entei was seen in the Johto region, in the episode ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''. A telepathic Entei was featured in the [[Spell of the Unown|third movie]], but it was only a manifestation of [[Molly Hale]]'s imagination, created by the {{p|Unown}}. An Entei is formed from a statue in Fiore when [[Solana]] and [[Lunick]] reach the Jungle Relic. It comes to life when they complete {{p|Charizard|the last challenge}} by mistake.
* '''{{MS|245}} {{p|Suicune}}''' is the embodiment of the North Wind. It is closely tied with Ho-Oh and the Unown. It is the Pokémon sought by [[Eusine]] in {{game|Crystal}}, and is released upon the completion of the [[Brass Tower|Burned Tower]] storyline in the Generation II games. It appears in Kanto in FireRed and LeafGreen if the player started off with {{P|Charmander}}. Ash encountered one at the beginning of the [[Johto]] story arc, in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', again in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and made a [[Suicune (Pokémon 4Ever)|vital appearance]] in the [[Pokémon 4Ever|fourth movie]]. Ash also encountered a Suicune in [[Sinnoh]], near the [[Valley Windworks]] in ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!'']].

====Lugia and Ho-Oh====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh.]]These two additional birds of legend are thought to be closely related, although they are also polar opposites. Ho-Oh is based on the Chinese phoenix, or {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and Lugia on the Japanese sea-kami {{wp|Ryūjin}}.
* '''{{MS|250}} {{p|Ho-Oh}}''' is the Guardian of the Skies. This Pokémon is represented by the sun, the sky, rainbows, the color gold, and awakening. It is said to glow in seven colors and see into the future. It resides at the top of the Tin Tower in the Generation II games. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{v2|Emerald}}, Ho-Oh is found atop [[Navel Rock]]. Ho-Oh is often seen at the beginning of a new journey, which happened to Ash three times. The spirit of Ho-Oh represents the [[Johto League]]. Ho-Oh is the guardian of the Legendary Beasts, and it is especially close to Suicune.
* '''{{MS|249}} {{p|Lugia}}''' is the Guardian of the Sea. It is represented by the moon, the sea, storms, the color silver, and slumber. Lugia can be found in [[Whirl Islands]] in the Generation II games. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, Lugia is found beneath Navel Rock. A [[Shadow Lugia]] resides in the [[Orre]] region in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. Lugia protects the balance of nature, and is the only creature that can pacify the battling Legendary Birds. One was seen in the second movie. Two more, a parent and a child, were seen near [[Silver Rock Isle]] at the beginning of the [[Master Quest|Whirl Cup]] arc of the anime. Lugia is the guardian of the Legendary Birds. In the [[The Power of One|second movie]], [[Lawrence III]] mistook Lugia for the Beast of the Sea, which is actually a chaotic underwater current caused when the Legendary Birds are disturbed.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].]]
Although it has no relation to Mew, Celebi was dubbed the "New Mew" because of its similar size, shape, stats, and [[National Pokédex]] number. Because of this, it is commonly listed with Mew (and later {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, and {{p|Manaphy}}) in lists of legendary Pokémon.
* '''{{MS|251}} {{p|Celebi}}''' is a forest guardian Pokémon that can travel through time. It is the star of the fourth movie and was obtainable in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal via the now-discontinued [[Pokémon Mobile System]] service. On the Japanese Bonus Disk for [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Celebi was a direct download to [[Generation III]] cartridges. During ''Pokémon 10th Anniversary: [[Journey Across America]]'', Celebi was downloadable on US Generation III cartridges. Celebi, when obtainable, is found in [[Ilex Forest]] by bringing the [[GS Ball]] to the [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Forest Shrine]].{{Clear-both}}

===[[Generation III]]===
The Generation III games feature a total of 10 new legendaries.
====Legendary golems====
[[Image:3_regis.jpg|thumb|left|Booster art of Regice, Registeel, and Regirock from {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}}.]]
The legendary {{wp|golem}}-like Regis were featured in the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]] as the protectors of the Tree of Beginning, but the true story of their history remains a mystery. They have a strong connection to the fourth Regi and their keeper, '''{{p|Regigigas}}'''.
* '''{{MS|377}} {{p|Regirock}}''' is found in the [[Desert Ruins]] in the [[Generation III]] games when the required puzzle is solved. Its location in {{game|Platinum}} is the [[Rock Peak Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|378}} {{p|Regice}}''' is found in the [[Island Cave]] in the Generation III games after solving a puzzle. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iceberg Ruins]].
* '''{{MS|379}} {{p|Registeel}}''' is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]] in the Generation III games, and, like the other two Regis, a puzzle must be solved before it can be reached. Its location in Pokémon Platinum is the [[Iron Ruins]].

====Eon Pokémon====
[[Image:LatiosLatiasStatues.jpg|thumb|right|Statues of Latios and Latias in [[Alto Mare]]]]
Latios and Latias (sometimes referred to, collectively, as [[Lati@s]]) are twin {{t|Dragon}}s (one male, one female, respectively) featured in the [[Pokémon Heroes|fifth movie]]. Both can take the shape of humans. According to legend, they guard the water city of [[Alto Mare]], and are revered as gods. They have a strong connection with the [[Soul Dew]].
* '''{{MS|380}} {{p|Latias}}''', the female twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}. She changes routes whenever the player does, and is considered as rare as the Legendary Beasts in Generation II. She can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} by using the [[Eon Ticket]] obtained from [[Nintendo Power]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, she appears as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red, and as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue.
* '''{{MS|381}} {{p|Latios}}''', the male twin, is found in the wild after defeating the Elite Four in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}. He is considered as rare as the Legendary Beasts in Generation II due to the similar route-changing activities that he shares with them and Latias. He can also be obtained in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}} by using the Eon Ticket obtained from Nintendo Power. In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player's mom asks about a TV program after the Elite Four, he appears as in Ruby if the player chooses Blue, and as in Sapphire if the player chooses Red.

====Super-ancient Pokémon====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|frame|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza]]
The [[Weather conditions|weather]]-related legendary Pokémon represent the balance of nature and play a major role in the storyline of the [[Hoenn]]-based Generation III games. It is said that, at the beginning of time, Groudon raised lands and expanded continents as Kyogre expanded the seas. These Pokémon took to sleep after a cataclysmic battle, soothed by Rayquaza.

They are based on the {{wp|behemoth}}, {{wp|leviathan}}, and {{wp|ziz}} of Hebrew legend.
* '''{{MS|382}} {{p|Kyogre}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the sea by bringing forth constant rain. It is found in the [[Cave of Origin]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Sapphire}}, and [[Marine Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Aqua]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]].
* '''{{MS|383}} {{p|Groudon}}''' is the beast who has the power to expand the land by scattering rain clouds and making water evaporate with light and heat. It is found in the Cave of Origin in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}}, and [[Terra Cave]] in {{game|Emerald}}. It is the object of [[Team Magma]]'s reverence. It was seen in the [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|384}} {{p|Rayquaza}}''' is the legendary dragon found in the [[Sky Pillar]] in the Generation III games. It is the protector of the skies. It was seen in the [[Destiny Deoxys|seventh movie]].

====Other legendary Pokémon====
* '''{{MS|385}} {{p|Jirachi}}''' is the legendary wish-granting Pokémon who was available from [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s bonus disk in North America and available within [[Pokémon Channel]] in the UK, Europe and Australia (PAL Encoded Regions). It is likened to Mew and Celebi. Jirachi is the star of the [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|sixth movie]].
* '''{{MS|386}}/{{MS|386A}}/{{MS|386D}}/{{MS|386S}} {{p|Deoxys}}''' is a Pokémon with strange alien and virus-like characteristics. It changes its form depending on the game version in which it is found. The [[Aurora Ticket]] used to obtain Deoxys has been given out in North America at the New York {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} and 2004's [[Pokémon Rocks America]] events. Two different Deoxys were featured in the seventh movie, while a third was featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''.

===[[Generation IV]]===
The Generation IV games feature a total of 14 legendary Pokémon, the most of any generation.
{{Clear-both}}
====Mirage Pokémon====
[[Image:LakeTrio.gif|thumb|right|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf together]]
{{wp|Fairy}}-like creatures that each dwell in a trio of three lakes. Birthed from Arceus, each represents a different aspect of the human mind.
* '''{{MS|480}} {{p|Uxie}}''' embodies knowledge.
* '''{{MS|481}} {{p|Mesprit}}''' embodies emotion.
* '''{{MS|482}} {{p|Azelf}}''' embodies will.

All three are considered unique. Uxie is located in the [[Lake Acuity|Acuity Cavern]], Mesprit will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] Sinnoh after the first encounter in the [[Lake Verity|Verity Cavern]], and Azelf is found in the [[Lake Valor|Valor Cavern]].

====Legendary dragons====
[[Image:Dragontrio.PNG|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia and Giratina poster from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The three Pokémon Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are the mascots for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and have the ability to warp the fabric of reality. Birthed from Arceus, they battle for all of eternity in a different dimension. Dialga and Palkia were featured in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]], and Giratina was featured in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. All three are expected to have their final confrontation in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]].
* '''{{MS|483}} {{p|Dialga}}''' controls time.
* '''{{MS|484}} {{p|Palkia}}''' controls space.
* '''{{MS|487O}}/{{MS|487}} {{p|Giratina}}''' controls dimensions.
Depending on the game version, [[Team Galactic]] will try to gain control of one using the power of the lake trio. Their goal is to use their power to destroy the {{pkmn|universe}} and rebuild it with [[Cyrus]] as a god.

====Lunar Pokémon====
[[Image:Darkrai-Newmoon_Island.png|thumb|left|Darkrai in Newmoon Island]]
Based on the [[wp:crescent moon|crescent]] and [[wp:new moon|new]] {{wp|moon}}, these two Pokémon seem to be complementary of one another. Cresselia can cure the permanent nightmares that Darkrai causes people to suffer.
* '''{{MS|488}} {{p|Cresselia}}''' resembles the crescent moon. It seems to bring peaceful dreams and is able to heal emotional scars. It can be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] after it is first encountered on [[Fullmoon Island]].
* '''{{MS|491}} {{p|Darkrai}}''' can induce sleep and control dreams. It is active during nights with no moon, and can cause its victims to thrash about with terrible nightmares. It can be found on [[Newmoon Island]] if the {{player}} has a [[Member's Card]]. A Darkrai was featured in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]], along with one of each of the legendary dragons (except {{p|Giratina}}), while a second made its anime debut in [[DP104]].

====Other Legendary Pokémon====

* '''{{MS|490}} {{p|Manaphy}}''' is referred to as the "Prince of the Sea." It must be hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}} and has the power to swap the hearts of people and Pokémon, putting them into different bodies. It was featured in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]].
* '''{{MS|489}} {{p|Phione}}''' is the result of breeding Manaphy (or another Phione) with {{p|Ditto}}, and is the only legendary to be obtained in such a manner. Until recently, its status was heavily debated; however, [[Pokémon.com]] revealed that Phione is a legendary.
* '''{{MS|486}} {{p|Regigigas}}''' is the Normal-type Regi that can be found only when the [[Legendary golems|three other Regis]] are reunited. It is said that they moved the continents into place by pulling them on a rope. A Regigigas was awakened in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. In {{game|Platinum}} it is stated that it had shaped itself from an iceberg, rocks, and magma.
* '''{{MS|485}} {{p|Heatran}}''' is a dual-type Fire/Steel Pokémon that can be found in [[Stark Mountain]]. It was born from the flames of a volcano when Dialga, Palkia and their relatives first created the universe. The lava and magma pooled together to become the first living Heatran, and later, [[Stark Mountain]], their home. It is also the first Legendary Pokémon that can be either male or female. A Heatran will appear in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]].
[[Image:Flower paradise shaymin art.png|thumb|right|Shaymin in Flower Paradise]]
* '''{{MS|492}}/{{MS|492S}} {{p|Shaymin}}''' is the Gratitude Pokémon that curls up in flower-beds and often goes unnoticed. It has the ability to instantly purify an area of all pollutants and transform it into a flowery field. It can transform into another Forme. Shaymin and its Sky Forme were featured in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. Many Shaymin appeared in the film, confirming that the Shaymin species is more common than that of other legendary species. If the player has [[Oak's Letter]], [[Flower Paradise]], where Shaymin is located, can be accessed after their thanks are expressed at the white rock on [[Route 224]].
* '''{{MS|493}} {{p|Arceus}}''' is the creation Pokémon said to have been born from an egg in the nothingness of space. It created matter (time and space) and spirit (knowledge, emotion and will) before falling into eternal slumber. It can be awoken by playing the [[Azure Flute]] at the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Arceus appears in the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]].

===Other Pokémon of myth===
* '''{{p|Arcanine}}''''s [[species]] classification is ''Legendary''.
* The fierceness and destructive nature of '''{{p|Gyarados}}''' is described in the [[Pokédex]] as a thing of legend as is the seemingly complementary beauty and calming ability of '''{{p|Milotic}}'''.
* When facing '''{{p|Rotom}}''', the music is the same as when facing a legendary Pokémon. It, along with the legendary Giratina and Shaymin, has also received new forms in {{v2|Platinum}}.
* '''{{p|Unown}}''' are a mysterious species of Pokémon based on the Latin alphabet. [[Professor Oak]] referred to them as Legendary, probably because they were featured heavily in ancient myths and legends and because they can display large amounts of otherworldly power in swarms. Also, like legendaries, they cannot breed. In the anime, they appear to live in the [[Unown dimension|same dimension]] as Dialga and Palkia.
* The ''[[pseudo-legendary]]'', Dragon-like Pokémon '''{{p|Dragonite}}''', '''{{p|Tyranitar}}''', '''{{p|Salamence}}''' are usually placed within the "Legendary" section of a regional Pokédex, and are so extraordinarily rare and powerful that they are often mentioned in lists of Legendary Pokémon. '''{{p|Metagross}}''' and '''{{p|Garchomp}}''' are also considered "pseudo-legendary", due to their stats, and Metagross is even placed within the same section of the Hoenn Pokédex as Salamence.
* Like Arcanine, '''{{p|Ninetales}}''' is considered a Legendary Pokémon due to it being elusive, incredibly long-lived, and possessing the ability to cast powerful curses against anyone that touches its tails. This is specifically mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
* '''{{p|Lucario}}''' and its master [[Sir Aaron]] were forever revered because of their help pacifying an ancient battle, as seen in the eighth movie. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, a Lucario was regarded as a legendary Rescue Team Leader in the distant past, and "Lucario Rank" is the highest attainable team rank in the game. Also, in the opening of the Diamond and Pearl theme song, {{p|Lucario}} appears beside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
* '''{{p|Togepi}}''' and its evolutions are incredibly rare and bring joy wherever they go. In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' Togepi is referred to as a savior.
* The presence of '''{{p|Absol}}''' is a fabled warning of impending disaster.
* '''{{p|Spiritomb}}''' was formed by 108 spirits and is bound to a fissure in an [[Odd Keystone]] because of misdeeds 500 years ago.

==Trivia==
* In the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries.
* Battle themes are shared by related legendaries, while many [[legendary trios]] have a theme specific to themselves. Specifically:
**{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto, as a reference to the fact that in [[Generation I]], there was only one battle theme. When they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}, they use the standard wild legendary battle theme.
**{{p|Mewtwo}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
**{{p|Mew}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Emerald}}, and despite being found in the wild ''only'' in a [[Hoenn]]-based game, it is yet another remix of the standard wild Pokémon encounter in Kanto.
**In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} featured the standard wild Pokémon encounter music of [[Johto]], however, in {{game|Crystal}}, this was changed to a theme specific to themselves. When they are encountered in FireRed and LeafGreen, they use the standard legendary battle theme shared with the legendary birds.
**{{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Celebi}} have only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
**{{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation III]] when they are encountered. It was tuned up and reused when they are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}.
**{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} have only featured the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
**{{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} have a theme specific to themselves when encountered in [[Generation III]].
**{{p|Deoxys}} features a battle theme specific to itself when battled on [[Birth Island]], making it the first to share its theme with no other Pokémon.
**{{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and {{p|Phione}} have never appeared in battle as a wild Pokémon aside from [[cheating]].
**{{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered.
**{{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered.
**{{p|Giratina}} features a theme specific to itself in {{game|Platinum}} when it is encountered.
**{{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} feature a theme specific to themselves in [[Generation IV]] when they are encountered. This theme is, strangely, shared with the non-legendary {{p|Rotom}}, and likewise is shared with {{p|Giratina}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
**{{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Cresselia}} use the standard wild Pokémon battle music when they are encountered.
**{{p|Arceus}}, perhaps fittingly, has its own theme shared with no others as well.
*Every generation has had at least one {{type|Flying}} legendary.

Legendary duo

2009-03-27T07:09:26Z

Methaeus:

A '''legendary duo''' is a pair of closely related Pokémon, either representing teamwork or opposition. Much like how every region has a [[legendary trio]], every region also has a legendary duo. In the {{pkmn|games}}, they are often found after the {{player}} gets past the [[Elite Four]] but often aren't as important in the main storyline as the trios are. Duos are featured in several of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, either in their respective pairs, or on their own, as a keeper of peace. Sometimes pairs of Pokémon once thought to be legendary duos are revealed to actually be legendary trios upon the release of the third version. A primary example would be {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

==Duos==
===The Mew duo===
[[Image:mewtwo_mew.jpg|Mew and Mewtwo as seen in the anime|200px|right|thumb]]
*[[Kanto]]: {{MS|151}} {{p|Mew}} and {{MS|150}} {{p|Mewtwo}}
{{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} make up [[Kanto]]’s legendary duo. They are both psychic type feline-like Pokémon that are very elusive. Mewtwo was cloned from Mew, meaning the two share DNA and abilities.

In [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the first Pokémon movie]], [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|Mew]] embodied innocence and joy, but {{an|Mewtwo}}'s experiences as he gained consciousness gave him a jaded and cynical view of humanity. The duality expressed between the two characters formed the basis of their conflict, but innocent Mew, with the help of [[Ash Ketchum]], is able to sway Mewtwo's contempt.

===The bird duo===
[[image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|Lugia and Ho-Oh in promotional art for the TCG|200px|left|thumb]]
*[[Johto]]: {{MS|250}} {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{MS|249}} {{p|Lugia}}
The bird duo is the legendary duo of [[Johto]] that consists of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. Ho-Oh and Lugia are often regarded as polar opposites. Lugia represents the sea, the color silver and is the mascot of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Silver|s}} while Ho-Oh represents the sky, the colors gold/rainbow, and is the mascot of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold|s}}. Both are also [[trio masters]]; Lugia is the master of the [[legendary birds]] while Ho-Oh is the master of the [[legendary beasts]].

Their legend is introduced in [[Generation II]], and states that the two birds each resided on a tower: Lugia on the [[Brass Tower]], and Ho-Oh on the [[Tin Tower]]. When the Brass Tower was destroyed in [[Johto]] (prior to the start of the second generation games), the pair was split up thus creating the [[legendary beasts]]: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

===The eon duo===
[[image:Latios_and_latias.png|Latios and Latias with Pikachu on Latias' back|200px|right|thumb]]
*[[Hoenn]]: {{MS|380}} {{p|Latias}} and {{MS|381}} {{p|Latios}}
The eon duo is a legendary duo of [[Hoenn]] that consists of {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}. They are region's [[roaming Pokémon]] and they share their [[elemental type|typing]], four of their [[base stats]] and even several moves they learn when they level up. Both were featured in the movie ''{{g|Heroes}}'', where they were revealed to be playful siblings.

In the [[Generation III]] games, one can be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Hoenn]], depending on the {{player}}'s earlier actions (see {{DL|Legendary Pokémon|Eon Pokémon}}).

===The lunar duo===
[[image:DP104.png|Cresselia and Darkrai from [[DP104]]|200px|left|thumb]]
*[[Sinnoh]]: {{MS|491}} {{p|Darkrai}} and {{MS|488}} {{p|Cresselia}}
The lunar duo is a legendary duo of [[Sinnoh]] that consists of {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}}. Darkrai and Cresselia are commonly seen as polar opposites, just like the aforementioned Johto bird duo of Ho-Oh and Lugia. Darkrai and Cresselia are also known as the subconscious duo because of how Darkrai is said to give people nightmares, while Cresselia does the opposite (giving people pleasant dreams). Furthermore, Cresselia and Darkrai also appear in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}} as enemies. They made their anime debuts in [[DP104]] where {{p|Cresselia}} battled {{p|Darkrai}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were seen in the anime before [[Generation II]] was introduced; Ho-Oh was seen in the [[EP001|first episode]] and Lugia was seen in ''[[The Power of One]]'', the second movie.
* Like Lugia and Ho-Oh, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} were seen before [[Generation III]] was introduced. Both were seen in ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', the fifth movie.

== Signature Move? ==

Would [[Crush Grip (move)]] Be Regigigas's '''Signature''' Move? I've Looked And No Other Pokémon Learn It. Tesh

Yes, it is... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:11, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

In Pokemon Battle Revolution there is an unobtainable Combusken that knows Crush Grip, Regigigas's signature move.

Unobtainable Pokemon don't count. An event Darkrai knows Roar of Time and Spatial Rend. Does that make Roar of Time and Spatial Rend
not Dialga and Palkia's signature move? I don't think so.[[User:Shadow1337|Shadow1337]] 20:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

== Hidden power STAB? ==

Under moves learnt through TM's Hidden power is in bold but on the page for the attack it says that no normal-type pokemon can recieve a STAB bonus for the attack --[[User:Itxi|Itxi]] 00:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Technically, I think anything BUT Normal types should have Hidden Power.... not really bolded, but somehow distinguished so you know that the Pokémon is CAPABLE of getting STAB from Hidden Power, as it can be any type but normal. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 11:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== SSBB ==

Does the template really have to be there? [[User:Krakash|Krakash]] 17:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
:That was left over from the false reports of it being in Brawl. I've removed it. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 17:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

== Locked ==

Why is this page locked for 2 months? [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 23:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
:Paranoia over the movie. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 23:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

== WTF?! ==

On the trivia it says he is at lv.1 in [[Pokémon Platinum]],is this true ,if so WTF?!
From---[[User:Ultamatecharizard]].
:Apparently. I've heard it reported multiple times on the forums. And the page is [[Pokémon Platinum Version]]. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 23:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
::Seriously?! Well that's just... screwed up. You could catch that thing in a POKÉ BALL! '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:15, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I have no idea why Nintendo would consider dropping a Legendary Pokémon THAT low... there should be some logical reason. Maybe Nintendo just thinks that it's difficult enough to transfer all 3 Regis forward, THEN battle a level 70, but then again they added caves for the Regis all over Sinnoh as well. I'm not sure if putting the Regis into Sinnoh helps the legend over Regigigas or makes it less plausible...
:::(And PS TTE: My Giratina was caught inside a Poké Ball, and my Regigigas is in a Net Ball. Never discount the crappy stuff! :)) ←{'''[[User:Berrymaster|Berrymaster]]|[[User_talk:Berrymaster|Talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Berrymaster|Contrib]]'''}→ 23:19, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
::::Even being Level 1, Regigigas is still hard to catch(It keeps it's catch rate of 3). Level literally does not affect you catching it(Besides the Nest ball calculation). Also, Nest Balls only have a max Pokeball value of 3 so the Dusk Balls, Quick Balls(First 5 turns), and Timer Balls(After 30 turns) are still better(All having a value of 4)...
::::Also, I think they made it Level 1 as a joke, somewhat of a reference to the fact they put in the other Regis which can only be fought using a '''Level 100''' event Regigigas(Which they probably assumed everyone would have, also thinking you wouldn't want to catch it in the wild because of it). It is also interesting that him being Level 1 not only makes him the lowest leveled Legendary, but ALSO the lowest leveled wild Pokemon ever(All starting route wild Pokemon are level 2 or above, never level 1...)[[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 21:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::They're really getting annoying. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUPG2Zrp7M4] '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 20:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::If it's level 1 what moves will it have because it has 7 "start" moves in platinum? or is it random and I'm an idiot? lord mada 19:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::::The four last ones, as it always is. '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 19:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I know its the last 4 moves normally. So this isn't a special case due to it having 7 equal level moves? I assume its coded in that order and the list was extracted from the game data? lord mada 20:45, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

==Small Note==

I just noticed this interesting bit recently... wouldn't Regirock resemble the Stone Age, Regice resemble the Ice Age, Registeel resemble the Iron Age, and Regigigas resemble Pangaea? [[User:StewiesGiratina|StewiesGiratina]] 08:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
:there are lots of theorys about the regi's and what they (and their markings) represent but nothing has been released on this topic in any cannon. So everyone stop gong on about it! —[[User:Lord mada|Mada-sama]] ([[User talk:Lord mada|Talk to me!]])— 09:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

== Game Locations ==

Are we sure Regigigas is in the Snowpoint Temple? Or is the only one the event to get the Golems? [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 16:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:It is. Nintendo'll give away a Regigigas to DP. Trade it to Platinum and get the Regis. Use the Regis to get Regigigas. *[[User:Tc26|tc]][[User talk:Tc26|26]]* 16:19, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
::Are the Platinum Regis required to get him, or can you use migrated or traded Regis? [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 16:23, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Any Regi trio. The Regigigss basically makes it easier for some who can't migrate. *[[User:Tc26|tc]][[User talk:Tc26|26]]* 16:25, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
::::Thanks. That's what I wanted to make sure of. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 16:26, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

== Inclusion of Toys 'R Us Promotion? ==

I've been wondering whether or not someone should include the Toys 'R Us promotion into the article somewhere. It would give
users a glimpse at another way of obtaining the Colossal Pokemon. --[[User:Methaeus|Methaeus]] 07:46, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
