List of Pokémon that are available in every core series game

2026-07-01T06:00:56Z

Peterchong: /* Trivia */ Added Zubat and Golbat which are not featured in SV only.

This is a '''list of Pokémon that are available in every core series game'''.

For the first seven [[generation]]s, all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]] would have qualified for this list, as every [[core series]] game featured all Pokémon that had been introduced up to that point. However, starting with {{LGPE}}, not every previously introduced Pokémon is available in each core series game, with only a limited selection being obtainable, including via [[transfer]].

==Trivia==
*{{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}} are the only Pokémon that are available natively (i.e., without a [[trade]], [[transfer]], or {{pkmn2|event}}) in every core series game.
**Despite this, most Pokémon in the above list are able to have any core series game as their [[game of origin]] due to {{pkmn|breeding}}. However, due to {{LGPE}} not featuring breeding, {{p|Scyther}} cannot have Let's Go, Eevee! as its game of origin. The [[Generation I]] games also do not feature breeding, meaning that Scyther would theoretically also be unable to have [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]] as its game of origin; however, this is not the case as a Pokémon transferred from a Generation I game is assigned the game it was transferred from as its game of origin (since the actual origin game of a Pokémon is not tracked in this generation).
*Scyther and {{p|Porygon}} were absent from [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] until their addition in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]].
*{{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Clefable}}, and Porygon were absent from [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] until their addition in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].
*Porygon was absent from [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] until its addition in [[Mega Dimension]].
*Some Pokémon are only missing from a single core series game:
**[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is the only core series game to not feature {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Wartortle}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Dragonair}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.
**Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the only core series game to not feature {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Golduck}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Tentacruel}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Snorlax}}.
**Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the only core series game to not feature {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Golbat}}.

Alpha Pokémon

Peterchong: /* Wild Zone 20 */ Wild Aegislash and Clefairy only appear in Wild Zone 20

[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]], featuring an alpha {{p|Ursaring}}]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] appearing in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild. Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes (except those that do not have eyes, such as {{p|Zubat}} or {{p|Greavard}}); this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Pokémon Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A that were identified as alpha Pokémon will instead gain the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]], which provides the [[title]] "Former Alpha" when put into a game without alpha Pokémon mechanics. Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, [[Mythical Pokémon]], and certain species in the [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|No eggs Discovered]] [[Egg Group]] have also had since [[Generation VI]].

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up, selected at random from among the species' list of Move Tutor moves. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

Due to being exclusively obtained as either [[gift Pokémon]] or [[transfer]]red from a previous title, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}} and Alolan {{p|Ninetales}} are the only non Legendary or Mythical Pokémon in Legends: Arceus that cannot be obtained as alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might. There is a two unused variants of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts, and '''Frenzied Might''' (Japanese: '''荒ぶる力'''). Their usage within the game is unknown, however both [[Palina]] and [[Lian]] mention frenzied might when rematching battles with thier [[noble Pokémon]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Alpha Pokémon recently began appearing in [[Lumiose City]], but the reason was never confirmed. Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. Alpha Pokémon are always classified as XL-[[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|sized]], though they are noticeably larger than non-alpha XL specimens. Alpha Pokémon will start to appear throughout [[Lumiose City]] after completing [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 05: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower".

Alpha Pokémon all have the following benefits:
* At least three random {{IV}}s at the maximum value of 31
* Already have the maximum 252 {{EV}}s in HP
* Know a mastered move not normally learn by level up; each species always gets the [[List of alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A by exclusive move|same mastered TM move]]

Wild alpha Pokémon tend to prioritize directly attacking the {{player}} over attacking their Pokémon. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, the player is not stunned if they are within range of an alpha's shockwave, instead receiving a minor amount of damage, which can cause blacking out if the player is at critical health. When in battle, wild alpha Pokémon have
* ×2 applied to their Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def stats; this is analogous to their Wild Might buff from Legends: Arceus, but is never stated in-game
* ×0.5 applied to their catch rate; this penalty is negated if the alpha Pokémon is knocked out, applying ×3 during the catch window (effectively ×1.5)

The real-time battle system gives the size of alpha Pokémon an impact on battles. Larger Pokémon are easier to hit, especially by indirect attacks in [[Z-A Battle Club]]. They also can get stuck more easily. Ranged attacks coming from a certain part of the body may come out at less accurate angles. However, direct attacks can benefit from larger hitboxes.

===Transfer===
Alpha Pokémon can be [[transfer]]red outside of both Legends: Arceus and Legends: Z-A via [[Pokémon HOME]]. Like with other properties, such as [[move]]s and [[EV]]s, a Pokémon's alpha status is saved within HOME and will be restored when brought back into either Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A. Alpha Pokémon from Legends: Arceus can be sent backwards into {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, acting as regular Pokémon due to the lack of [[size]] difference. When sent forward into {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]] [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]], allowing them to have the "Former Alpha" [[title]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games; instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

Similarly to Scarlet and Violet, alpha Pokémon originating from either Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A will gain the Alpha Mark and the Former Alpha title in {{g|Champions}}. Pokémon Champions, however, lacks any size differention.

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Also known as "static" alpha Pokémon, fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

====[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]====
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

====Unique alpha Pokémon====
During Main Mission 40: "The One That Gives", three unique Alpha Pokémon spawn, and each of them must be caught or defeated to progress the mission. If they are defeated without being caught, they will be permanently missed, and can never respawn again. They are referred to as "Anomalous Alphas" by [[Mable]] and in her [[Mable's research|Pokédex Research]], specifically ''Investigating Anomalous Alphas''.

==Trivia==
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

Alpha Pokémon share their name with {{p|Arceus}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in English. This similarity is not present in Japanese or any other localization.

The '''Swords of Justice''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|聖|せい}}{{ruby|剣|けん}}{{ruby|士|し}}''' ''Sei-kenshi'', "Sacred Swordsmen")<ref>[[M15]]</ref> is a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}. Sometimes, the group also includes the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Keldeo}}. The group resides in the [[Unova]] region.

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

===Origin===
The Swords of Justice are often referred to by fans as the '''Legendary musketeers''', as they are loosely based on the titular group of main characters from the French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'' by {{wp|Alexandre Dumas}}.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> 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 vainest, most romantic member of the group;<ref name=ND204/> and Keldeo may represent {{wp|d'Artagnan}}, the latest and, by far, youngest addition to the group.

==History==
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|"Imagined" Sword of Justice from the [[Violet Book]]]]
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, the three Swords of Justice distrust humans because of a war that endangered the Pokémon living in [[Unova]]. The war between two human factions 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 the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{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 [[Pokémon Violet]], a sketch artist from the Area Zero expedition was inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] and drew an imaginary Pokémon resembling the Swords of Justice (sans Keldeo), as well as, incidentally, {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Boulder}}, and {{p|Iron Crown}}. The [[Scarlet Book]] instead depicts a creature resembling the [[legendary beasts]].

Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion are said to be related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]], Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown, respectively. Conflicting accounts claim they're the Swords' descendants from the distant future or versions of them from parallel timelines.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Swords of Justice first appeared in this arc. The first one of them, Virizion, debuted in ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', attacking {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. All three of them later appeared in [[Mistralton Cave]], where Trish from {{tc|the Riches}} tried to capture them, but only succeeded in having her and [[Shoko]]'s Pokémon taken away by them before Black convinced the Legendary Pokémon to return them. The Swords of Justice later made their way to [[Pledge Grove]], where they taught their apprentice, Keldeo, to use {{m|Sacred Sword}}. All four of them then left for the [[P2 Laboratory]], where they helped the {{gy|Striaton}} [[Gym Leader]]s in defeating the [[Shadow Triad]]. As an act of revenge, however, the Shadow Triad unleashed [[Team Plasma]]'s {{p|Genesect|secret weapon}} on them. Its attack froze Keldeo's mentors into block of ice and sent them sinking into the ocean.

===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
Two years later, Keldeo was encountered by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} in Pledge Grove. Blake later returned there and managed to convince Keldeo into joining his quest to take down the resurgent Team Plasma, which it agreed to in order to avenge the fate of its mentors, being [[nickname]]d Kelden. Later, when Blake, Whitley, and Kelden were also frozen and sank into the sea, they wound up in the [[Abyssal Ruins]], where Kelden's frozen mentors were located. Once freed from the ice, they chose to join the battle against Team Plasma. While Kelden went with Blake to confront [[Colress]], the rest of the Swords of Justice fought against the Shadow Triad and the {{adv|forces of nature}}. After Kelden broke the [[Reveal Glass]] while attempting to stab Colress, the Swords of Justice were able to defeat the forces of nature and the Shadow Triad. Even after Team Plasma's ultimate defeat, Kelden chose to stay with Blake.

===Pokémon RéBURST===
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]].

The '''Swords of Justice''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|聖|せい}}{{ruby|剣|けん}}{{ruby|士|し}}''' ''Sei-kenshi'', "Sacred Swordsmen")<ref>[[M15]]</ref> is a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}. Sometimes, the group also includes the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Keldeo}}. The group resides in the [[Unova]] region.

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

===Origin===
The Swords of Justice are often referred to by fans as the '''Legendary musketeers''', as they are loosely based on the titular group of main characters from the French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'' by {{wp|Alexandre Dumas}}.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> 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 vainest, most romantic member of the group;<ref name=ND204/> and Keldeo may represent {{wp|d'Artagnan}}, the latest and, by far, youngest addition to the group.

==History==
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|"Imagined" Sword of Justice from the [[Violet Book]]]]
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, the three Swords of Justice distrust humans because of a war that endangered the Pokémon living in [[Unova]]. The war between two human factions 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 the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{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 [[Pokémon Violet]], a sketch artist from the Area Zero expedition was inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] and drew an imaginary Pokémon resembling the Swords of Justice (sans Keldeo), as well as, incidentally, {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Boulder}}, and {{p|Iron Crown}}. The [[Scarlet Book]] instead depicts a creature resembling the [[legendary beasts]].

Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion are said to be related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]], Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown, respectively. Conflicting accounts claim they're the Swords' descendants from the distant future or versions of them from parallel timelines.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Swords of Justice first appeared in this arc. The first one of them, Virizion, debuted in ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', attacking {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. All three of them later appeared in [[Mistralton Cave]], where Trish from {{tc|the Riches}} tried to capture them, but only succeeded in having her and [[Shoko]]'s Pokémon taken away by them before Black convinced the Legendary Pokémon to return them. The Swords of Justice later made their way to [[Pledge Grove]], where they taught their apprentice, Keldeo, to use {{m|Sacred Sword}}. All four of them then left for the [[P2 Laboratory]], where they helped the {{gy|Striaton}} [[Gym Leader]]s in defeating the [[Shadow Triad]]. As an act of revenge, however, the Shadow Triad unleashed [[Team Plasma]]'s {{p|Genesect|secret weapon}} on them. Its attack froze Keldeo's mentors into block of ice and sent them sinking into the ocean.

===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
Two years later, Keldeo was encountered by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} in Pledge Grove. Blake later returned there and managed to convince Keldeo into joining his quest to take down the resurgent Team Plasma, which it agreed to in order to avenge the fate of its mentors, being [[nickname]]d Kelden. Later, when Blake, Whitley, and Kelden were also frozen and sank into the sea, they wound up in the [[Abyssal Ruins]], where Kelden's frozen mentors were located. Once freed from the ice, they chose to join the battle against Team Plasma. While Kelden went with Blake to confront [[Colress]], the rest of the Swords of Justice fought against the Shadow Triad and the {{adv|forces of nature}}. After Kelden broke the [[Reveal Glass]] while attempting to stab Colress, the Swords of Justice were able to defeat the forces of nature and the Shadow Triad. Even after Team Plasma's ultimate defeat, Kelden chose to stay with Blake.

===Pokémon RéBURST===
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]].

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Swords of Justice first appeared in this arc. The first one of them, Virizion, debuted in ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', attacking {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. All three of them later appeared in [[Mistralton Cave]], where Trish from {{tc|the Riches}} tried to capture them, but only succeeded in having her and [[Shoko]]'s Pokémon taken away by them before Black convinced the Legendary Pokémon to return them. The Swords of Justice later made their way to [[Pledge Grove]], where they taught their apprentice, Keldeo, to use {{m|Sacred Sword}}. All four of them then left for the [[P2 Laboratory]], where they helped the {{gy|Striaton}} [[Gym Leader]]s in defeating the [[Shadow Triad]]. As an act of revenge, however, the Shadow Triad unleashed [[Team Plasma]]'s {{p|Genesect|secret weapon}} on them. Its attack froze Keldeo's mentors into block of ice and sent them sinking into the ocean.

===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
Two years later, Keldeo was encountered by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} in Pledge Grove. Blake later returned there and managed to convince Keldeo into joining his quest to take down the resurgent Team Plasma, which it agreed to in order to avenge the fate of its mentors, being [[nickname]]d Kelden. Later, when Blake, Whitley, and Kelden were also frozen and sank into the sea, they wound up in the [[Abyssal Ruins]], where Kelden's frozen mentors were located. Once freed from the ice, they chose to join the battle against Team Plasma. While Kelden went with Blake to confront [[Colress]], the rest of the Swords of Justice fought against the Shadow Triad and the {{adv|forces of nature}}. After Kelden broke the [[Reveal Glass]] while attempting to stab Colress, the Swords of Justice were able to defeat the forces of nature and the Shadow Triad. Even after Team Plasma's ultimate defeat, Kelden chose to stay with Blake.

===Pokémon RéBURST===
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]].

The '''forces of nature'''<ref>''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' — ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG: {{DL|Black & White TCG Series merchandise|Forces of Nature Collection}}</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/forces-of-nature-gx-premium-collection/ Pokémon TCG: Forces of Nature GX Premium Collection]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{ruby|大|だい}}{{ruby|自|し}}{{ruby|然|ぜん}}の{{ruby|力|ちから}}''' ''Daishizen no Chikara'', "forces of nature"), also known as the '''Incarnate Forces of Hisui''' (Japanese: '''ヒスイの{{Ruby|化|け}}{{Ruby|身|しん}}たち''' ''Hisui no keshin-tachi'', "Incarnations of Hisui") in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|quartet]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', '''Legendary genies''', or '''Four Symbols''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|四|し}}{{ruby|神|しん}}''' ''Shishin'', "Four Gods"). They are known to [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] around the seas of the [[Pokémon world]] and stay in different [[region]]s from time to time, such as [[Unova]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Hisui]].

They were originally a trio as well as all [[Gender|male]] when first introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, but became a quartet with the introduction of the sole [[Gender|female]] member, {{p|Enamorus}}, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. [[Cogita]] still describes Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus as a trio before mentioning that Enamorus is the fourth member.<ref>"In more normal times, I would bid you let those three fly free as is their nature. But we are yet fresh from the tearing of the space-time rift. Until its aftereffects fade entirely, perhaps it’s better to keep our trio contained." - [[Cogita]] ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref><ref>"There is one more of that cohort." - [[Cogita]] ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> While mentioned in the same context as the others, Enamorus is usually named independently. All four members share the {{t|Flying}} [[type]], and are able to [[form|change form]] into their Therian Formes from their Incarnate Formes using the [[Reveal Glass]]. They each represent a different season in Hisui.

==History and myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
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 {{g|Dream Radar}}, they are known to inhabit their Therian Formes in the [[Interdream Zone]], changing form to suit their environment. [[Professor Burnet]] suspects they may have been born here. The name "Therian Forme" was also coined by Professor Burnet.<ref>[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]: "it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme!"</ref>

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 uncertainty on whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] theorizes that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the forces of nature. Their Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas, while they assume their Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

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 {{DL|Mirage spot|Storm Clouds}} located near [[Fortree City]] if the player has a {{p|Castform}} in their party. Landorus can also be encountered in the Storm 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 the [[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 (Legends: Arceus)#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 Wastes]] 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 entry|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]].

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
All four members of the forces of nature can be transferred into the games through [[Pokémon HOME]].

==In the spin-off games==

In addition, Tornadus appears as a boss Pokémon in the [[Legendary Arena]].

==In animation==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial forces of nature in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
{{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 {{aniseries|BW}}]]
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 Formes in Pokémon Adventures]]
===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 {{MangaArc|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 and flew away.

===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W ===
Only Tornadus appeared in [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], being {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Monta]] in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'' in order to add his data to the [[Pokédex]].

==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 of the forces of nature cannot be traded. This is due to the fact that their Therian Formes were not present in Pokémon Black and White.
*All of the forces of nature are weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
*Tornadus and Thundurus were initially designed as red and blue demons, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also later redesigned to distance them further. 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 name="LavaCutInterview">''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the forces of nature appear to be based on {{wp|kami|deities}} from Japanese mythology. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and Landorus is based on a deity of the land,<ref name="LavaCutInterview" /> perhaps specifically referring to {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests. Enamorus appears to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility. The Therian Formes of the forces of nature seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}:<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> Tornadus represents the {{wp|Vermilion Bird}}, Thundurus represents the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}, Landorus represents the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}, and Enamorus represents the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}.

The original trio 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).

Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}. Landorus may be based on the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who isn't directly connected to autumn, but is sometimes depicted with crops and sometimes said to bring dry winds (like Landorus' [[signature move]], {{m|Sandsear Storm}}), or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

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.

'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|伝|でん}}{{ruby|説|せつ}}のポケモン''' ''Densetsu no Pokemon'', "Legendary Pokémon") are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They are often featured prominently in the [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] of the [[Pokémon world]], with some even going so far as to view them as deities.

As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are currently {{#expr:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Legendary Pokémon}} - 15}} Legendary Pokémon. 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|animation}}.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

[[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.

[[Special Pokémon]] are a subcategory of 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.

In some uncommon cases, the term "Legendary Pokémon" is used to refer to Mythical Pokémon even after the Generation V games, such as in a painting of {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Lilycove Museum]] from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s trophies in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==List of Legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 71 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (71/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.

Many Legendary groups share a common type, such as Flying.

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

====Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres====
{{main|Legendary birds}}
The legendary birds—{{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird. Each is also associated with a {{season}} (though none of the three are associated with autumn).

In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]] for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, each of them gain a [[Galarian form]].

====Mewtwo====
{{p|Mewtwo}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. It is the enhanced clone of the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. 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 {{g|X and Y}}, Mewtwo gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]]s, [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]], which are possibly artificial as well.

In [[Pokken Tournament]], Mewtwo is turned into [[Shadow Mewtwo]] by a Shadow synergy stone, which possessed it. It can also Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X.

===Generation II===
Five more Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], for a running total of 9. The Legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into a trio and a duo.

====Raikou, Entei, and Suicune====
{{main|Legendary beasts}}
The Legendary beasts—{{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. These legendary Pokémon are based on many different creatures, both real and mythical, as well as mythological deities. Suicune in special is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].

According to legend, three Pokémon 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. Official sources differ in whether the three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei when they died, or whether they were simply [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon|three unidentified non-Legendary Pokémon]] that Ho-Oh reincarnated as the first Legendary beasts. The Legendary beasts of the Johto region are not the only individuals of these species, however. For example, a new Entei is said to be born whenever a new volcano is formed. Additionally, the [[Sage (Trainer class)#Wise Trio|Wise Trio]] says that Suicune is the closest of the Legendary beasts to Ho-Oh and shares a cooperative bond with the {{p|Unown}}.<ref>"Of the legendary {{ScPkmn}}, Sᴜɪᴄᴜɴᴇ is said to be the closest to Hᴏ-ᴏʜ. I hear there may also be a link to {{ScPkmn}} known as Uɴᴏᴡɴ. The {{ScPkmn}} Uɴᴏᴡɴ must be sharing a cooperative bond with Sᴜɪᴄᴜɴᴇ." - Wise Trio, [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/maps/TinTower1F.asm Pokecrystal Disassembly]</ref>

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Legendary beasts can be found in the [[Scarlet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]] for the game, [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Suicune, Entei, and Raikou are discovered in the form of {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}, respectively.

====Lugia and Ho-Oh====
{{main|Tower duo}}
The tower duo—{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}—are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. They are a pair of birdlike Pokémon based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fenghuang}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

According to legend in the Johto region, they formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers; 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 resolved to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh left to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer.

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Lugia is turned into a [[Shadow Lugia]] by the criminal syndicate [[Cipher]].

{{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first Legendary Pokémon that appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}} (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 also featured in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' in a prominent role.

===Generation III===
Eight new Legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], 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, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Five of them also received new forms.

====Regirock, Regice, and Registeel====
{{main|Legendary giants}}
{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}} are three legendary giants {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. They are based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. This Legendary trio, as well as its leader, {{p|Regigigas}}, often require solving puzzles to find them in the games; in the Hoenn games, they can only be encountered after solving [[braille]] puzzles.

The legend of the giants is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{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 three Pokémon in its image: Regirock, from clay; Regice, from ice; and 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.

In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]] for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the trio becomes a quintet with two more introduced members: {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}.

====Latios and Latias====
{{main|Eon duo}}
The eon duo—{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}—are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region.

Only one of the duo is normally available 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 {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Latias and Latios gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of their [[Mega Stone]]s, [[Latiasite]] and [[Latiosite]] respectively.

====Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon}}
The super-ancient Pokémon—{{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The trio represents the three major components of the Earth: the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and the {{wp|atmosphere}}.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all three gained new forms. Kyogre and Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] to become Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon through the use of the [[Blue Orb]] and the [[Red Orb]]. Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] without the need of a [[Mega Stone]], only needing to know the [[move]] {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

According to legend, 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.

===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]].

In the Sinnoh-based games only, Dialga and Palkia are referred to as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''). The use of this term in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum predates the official term "[[Mythical Pokémon]]" in English. The term has a different name to "Mythical Pokémon" in all languages other than English.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Dialga and Palkia gained {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}} like Giratina, through the use of the [[Adamant Crystal]] and the [[Lustrous Globe]].

The [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Keldeo}} is also sometimes considered part of the Swords of Justice. The trio are based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', while Keldeo is based on their apprentice {{wp|d'Artagnan}}. They are also based 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 attacked a human castle. Keldeo was rescued and raised by the trio after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn {{m|Sacred Sword}} (which was originally the group's [[signature move]]).

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Swords of Justice can be found in the [[Violet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]], [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion are discovered in the form of {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Boulder}} and {{p|Iron Crown}}, respectively.

====Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus====
{{main|Forces of nature}}
The forces of nature—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. They are 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.

In {{B2W2}}, they gained the ability to switch between their default, Incarnate Formes and their alternate, Therian Forme through the use of the [[Reveal Glass]].

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 {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the trio becomes a quartet with one more introduced member: {{p|Enamorus}}.

{{main|Tao trio}}
{{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. Reshiram and Zekrom are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s}}, while Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are the mascots of {{B2W2}}. {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent balance through the aspects of {{wp|Tao|Yin and Yang}}, respectively.

According to legends, originally, they were a [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon|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.

{{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.

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 {{fd|Xerneas|two forms}}, 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 {{fd|Zygarde|two other forms}} and two further components introduced in the {{pkmn|animated series}} and in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Zygarde's other forms are Zygarde 10% Forme, a dog-like form that includes 10% of Zygarde's full power, and Zygarde Complete Forme, whose power is said to exceed that of Xerneas and Yveltal.

{{main|Beast killer project}}
{{p|Type: Null}} and its evolved form {{p|Silvally}} are a pair of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region.

They were originally created by the [[Aether Foundation]] for the [[beast killer project]] under the direction of Aether President [[Lusamine]],<ref>[[Lusamine]]: "The [[Lillie|daughter]] who stole my {{p|Cosmog}} from me and the [[Gladion|son]] who took '''my''' Type: Null!" ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref><ref>Faba's blog from {{g|Sun and Moon}}: "My [[Lusamine|superior]]'s [[Gladion|family]] stole the results of our research and ran off."</ref> which aimed to create a Pokémon to fight against the [[Ultra Beast]]s. It was developed with data collected on [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|myths and legends]] involving a {{P|Arceus|Mythical Pokémon}} found from [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].

====Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini====
{{main|Guardian deities}}
The tapu—{{p|Tapu Koko}}, {{p|Tapu Lele}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}}, and {{p|Tapu Fini}}—are a quartet of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. They serve as the guardian deities of each of Alola's four main islands: Tapu Koko on [[Melemele Island]], Tapu Lele on [[Akala Island]], Tapu Bulu on [[Ula'ula Island]], and Tapu Fini on [[Poni Island]].

Alola's [[island kahuna]]s are each chosen by their island's guardian deity. [[Island challenge|Grand trials]] are often done in favor and praise of the Tapu. The Tapu are known to be very kind in certain situations, lending gifts, but they can also be very cruel, destroying certain locations or harming others when feeling angered.

According ''The Light of Alola'', a book found in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the tapu fought off against a beast from another [[dimension]] and lost. They were rewarded with the [[Tapunium Z]], their signature [[Z-Crystal]]. The beast then created multiple {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of and protect as they grow up before returning to [[Ultra Space]].

====Cosmog and Cosmoem====
{{main|Light trio}}
{{p|Cosmog}} and its evolved form {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Alola]]. They are the pre-Evolutions of {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Ultra Wormholes can be created using gasses extracted by Cosmog,<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref> but more can be created in heavier doses using the Pokémon as a whole. Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem under extreme stress, causing the Pokémon to condense into a smaller immobile form resembling a cocoon. With the help of the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s being played during certain times of the day, Cosmoem can evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala when brought to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}.

According to [[Malie City#Malie Library|Alolan legend]], Cosmog were given to the [[guardian deities]] by [[Light trio|Solgaleo and Lunala]] as heirs of the region, with the tapu watching over the Cosmog until they could grow up and evolve.

====Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma====
{{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Solgaleo and Lunala are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, while Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma are the mascots of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. They are said to have come from [[Ultra Space]].

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

All three have their own unique Z-Crystals: [[Solganium Z]], [[Lunalium Z]] and [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Necrozma, while transformed into either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings, can make use of the other two's Z-Crystals. [[Z-Power]] comes from light produced by Necrozma,<ref>[[Dulse]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: ''"These...auras...must have been particularly strong at the trial locations. And the Z-Power for the Z-Moves... It is also similar to the auras of the Totem Pokémon. Both came to Alola as Necrozma's light!"''</ref> while [[Z-Crystal]]s, [[Sparkling Stone]]s, and by extension [[Z-Ring]]s/[[Z-Power Ring]]s are pieces of Necrozma that channel Z-Power in order to produce [[Z-Move]]s.

According to "The Light of Alola", a book in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], they gave light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, when Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowed down to them and worshiped them. The guardian deities battled them and lost, with the duo gifting the tapu the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat. In legends in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma is referred to as "The Blinding One", as 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, and even from Solgaleo and Lunala, in order to sustain itself and regain the form it once had.

Every few decades, they migrate to the Dyna Tree at [[Dyna Tree Hill]] in the [[Crown Tundra]]. The trio battles one another each time they meet, although their rivalry does not seem as intense as that of their Kantonian counterparts. For some time, the Galarian legendary birds were believed to be the same as the Kantonian legendary birds due to their similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}}, respectively.

Together, they managed to take Eternatus down, forcing it back into another slumber.

According to legend, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} had been terrorizing [[Freezington]], ruling the area as the "lord of the tundra". One day, Calyrex was nursed back to health by Freezington's citizens. To repay the citizens, Calyrex defeated Glastrier/Spectrier and gained its loyalty, making the Pokémon its loyal steed. Afterwards, Calyrex ruled over the [[Crown Tundra]]—known as the King of Bountiful Harvests, it helped spread vegetation and supported the harvest every year with its loyal steed.

Eventually, the king's greed awakened them and unleashed disasters, resulting in these berserk Pokémon destroying the kingdom. All four were later sealed away in shrines by ancient Pokémon wielders after a fierce battle.

{{main|Loyal Three}}
The Loyal Three—{{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. They were first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]] for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

In [[Kitakami]], they were believed to have protected Kitakami from {{p|Ogerpon}}, whose appearance frightened the villagers, causing them to be worshiped as heroes. In truth, the Loyal Three traveled to Kitakami after hearing of Ogerpon and its partner's masks, snuck into the cave Ogerpon settled in, and stole the [[Wellspring Mask|Wellspring]], [[Hearthflame Mask|Hearthflame]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]]s, leaving only the [[Teal Mask]] behind. Upon returning to its cave, an enraged Ogerpon donned the mask and went out to the village, cudgel in hand, to search for its friend. Upon meeting the Loyal Three, gloating over their stolen masks, Ogerpon attacked and defeated them, before leaving. The villagers, misunderstanding the situation, believed that the Loyal Three were protecting the village, creating a shrine and festival to celebrate their perceived heroism.

====Ogerpon====
{{p|Ogerpon}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. It was introduced in [[The Teal Mask]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]] for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

It has four forms: [[Teal Mask]], [[Wellspring Mask]], [[Hearthflame Mask]], and [[Cornerstone Mask]]—each form possessing a unique {{Tera}}stallized state.

According to legend in The Teal Mask, it is said to have terrorized the land of Kitakami before being stopped by the [[Loyal Three]]: {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}}. However, in reality, it defeated the trio for stealing three of its masks and hurting its human companion, but the villagers watching it assumed it had come to attack the village, seeing it as a terrible ogre. Only the mask maker who made Ogerpon's masks knew the true story, with this story being passed down to his descendants.

====Terapagos====
{{p|Terapagos}} is a Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Paldea]]. It was introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|DLC]] for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

Terapagos has three {{fd|Terapagos|forms}}: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form.

It is the origin of the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and was seen as only fiction by many in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}, the only ones knowing about its existence being [[Heath]] and [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. Around 2,000,000 years ago, Terapagos lived on the surface of [[Paldea]] during ancient times, until seismic shifts caused it to fall underground. There, it remained asleep for many years as the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] formed, along with [[Area Zero]] and the [[Area Zero Underdepths]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:USUM Ultra Necrozma and Legendary Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|Various Legendary Pokémon battling, by [[Kazuma Koda]]]]
Legendary Pokémon are usually encountered as [[List of wild Pokémon from in-game events|interactable]] or [[roaming Pokémon]]. Starting in {{v2|Platinum}}, Legendary Pokémon will reappear when the player defeats the {{pkmn|Champion}}, if the Pokémon fainted earlier.

Legendary Pokémon are most commonly [[gender unknown]], although many are not. In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. Legendary Pokémon usually cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, and {{p|Kubfu}} all can. Many Legendary Pokémon can change [[form]]s. Legendary Pokémon are often part of a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary Pokémon]], most commonly a Legendary duo or trio.

Legendary Pokémon typically appear near the end of a [[regional Pokédex]], with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them.

===Statistical average===
High [[base stats]] are shared by most Legendary Pokémon, and they generally have a base stat total of at least 570. These averages consider alternate [[form]]s 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===
{{main|Population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}
Most Legendary Pokémon can be obtained only once per save file; in order to obtain multiple, a player would need to [[trade]] Pokémon between games or [[Event Pokémon|obtain one through an event]]. 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.

==In the spin-off games==
{{Incomplete|section|Missing more general information on other Spin-off games such as ''Masters EX'' and ''Café ReMix''.}}
===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of 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 not a Legendary Pokémon, but rather a [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

Aside from the four Legendary Cards, there are also several Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Mewtwo cards in both games, and a Lugia card in the second game.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], the only Legendary Pokémon seen in-game is Mewtwo. It is the final boss of the 1P Stadium in the Very Hard and Super Hard modes.

===Pokémon Team Turbo===
In [[Pokémon Team Turbo]], there are three Legendary Pokémon available in the [[racing]] games: {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], {{SSB|Mewtwo}} is the only Legendary Pokémon available as a fighter.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode. Many are worshiped as {{wp|deity|gods}} by particular groups of people. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]], and by people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. Some Legendary Pokémon exhibit stubborn behavior and a rudely distrust of humans, like {{p|Raikou}}.

Trainers owning Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, or even battling with non-owned Pokémon, are not unheard of. [[Noland]] has befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} in [[Poké Balls]] and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} participated in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer entered the same tournament with 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. {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. Ash raised a {{p|Cosmog}} nicknamed {{AP|Nebby|Solgaleo}} all the way to {{p|Solgaleo}}; although he never caught it in a Poké Ball, Solgaleo is often seen amongst Ash's Pokémon in official media. [[Goh]] has also succeeded in catching several Legendary Pokémon, including {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and a {{p|Regieleki}}. [[Project Mew]] members [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] both own an {{p|Urshifu}} each, and the former has also caught the three original legendary giants for research purposes. {{Gary}} caught a {{p|Regidrago}} as a part of a Project Mew mission, while [[Horace]] was later revealed to have caught a {{p|Virizion}} during his own mission.

There are some cases in which Legendary Pokémon are implied to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}} in {{aniseries|GS}}, and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} at the end of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
100 years prior to the events of {{aniseries|HZ}}, the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]] used to travel with a [[Black Rayquaza]] and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}}, who made up two members of the [[Six Heroes]]. During his journey, Lucius met [[Rystal]], who owned a {{p|Terapagos}} nicknamed [[Pagogo]], and [[Gibeon]], who traveled the world alongside a [[White Zygarde]]. Together, the three of them formed a group called [[Explorers]] and set out to find [[Laqua]], which they succeeded in doing.

After the events that transpired in Laqua, the Six Heroes got scattered around the {{pkmn|world}} and Pagogo reverted into a dormant state, passing down through generations of Rystal's descendants. It eventually ended up in [[Liko]]'s hands, who was a key part in allowing it to restore its active form. Liko and [[Roy]]'s journey also led them to reunite the Six Heroes. Roy himself would later succeed in catching Lucius's Black Rayquaza as his own.

==Trivia==
*150 is the most common stat number among Legendary Pokémon.
*There have been Legendary Pokémon of every type except {{t|Bug}} (excluding {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[Bug Memory]]).
*Every Special and Mythical Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon 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.
** Heatran has an equal chance of being either gender, while Kubfu and Urshifu both have a 7:1 chance of being male.
** While {{p|Terapagos}} is also coded to have an equal chance of being either gender, the Terapagos caught in [[The Indigo Disk]] (currently the only one available ingame) will always be male.
*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}}, {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in {{pmin|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 [[Generation I]] games and their later remakes are the only [[core series]] games where the main plot does not involve any Legendary Pokémon.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], the core series games which serve as region debuts did not have any Legendary Pokémon from previous generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
**From [[Generation III]] onwards, all upper versions, sequels, and remakes in the core series have Legendary Pokémon from multiple generations available without trades, transfers, or events.
*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 twenty 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]], {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl,]] [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]).
*Every Legendary Pokémon has the [[List of Pokémon by experience type|Slow leveling rate]].
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|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}}.
*Rotom happens to be the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have the battle music of a Legendary Pokémon during at least one of its encounters, this encounter being in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
** In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Rotom has only one exclusive item that is found behind a locked door in a specific dungeon. It and {{p|Spiritomb}} are the only Pokémon that are neither Legendary nor Mythical that do this.
*So far, there is at least one Legendary Pokémon directly or indirectly related to each "battle gimmick" introduced in their respective regions:
**The [[Aura trio]] (specifically Xerneas and Yveltal) are theorized to be indirectly responsible for creating [[Mega Evolution]] in the [[Kalos]] region, while {{p|Rayquaza}} is believed to be responsible for Mega Evolution occurring in the [[Hoenn]] region.
** The [[Light trio]] and [[Guardian deities]] are directly related to [[Z-Move]]s.
**Eternatus is directly responsible for [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]].
**Terapagos is directly responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

The '''forces of nature'''<ref>''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' — ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG: {{DL|Black & White TCG Series merchandise|Forces of Nature Collection}}</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/forces-of-nature-gx-premium-collection/ Pokémon TCG: Forces of Nature GX Premium Collection]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{ruby|大|だい}}{{ruby|自|し}}{{ruby|然|ぜん}}の{{ruby|力|ちから}}''' ''Daishizen no Chikara'', "forces of nature"), also known as the '''Incarnate Forces of Hisui''' (Japanese: '''ヒスイの{{Ruby|化|け}}{{Ruby|身|しん}}たち''' ''Hisui no keshin-tachi'', "Incarnations of Hisui") in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|quartet]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', '''Legendary genies''', or '''Four Symbols''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|四|し}}{{ruby|神|しん}}''' ''Shishin'', "Four Gods"). They are known to [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] around the seas of the [[Pokémon world]] and stay in different [[region]]s from time to time, such as [[Unova]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Hisui]].

They were originally a trio as well as all [[Gender|male]] when first introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, but became a quartet with the introduction of the sole [[Gender|female]] member, {{p|Enamorus}}, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. [[Cogita]] still describes Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus as a trio before mentioning that Enamorus is the fourth member.<ref>"In more normal times, I would bid you let those three fly free as is their nature. But we are yet fresh from the tearing of the space-time rift. Until its aftereffects fade entirely, perhaps it’s better to keep our trio contained." - [[Cogita]] ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref><ref>"There is one more of that cohort." - [[Cogita]] ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> While mentioned in the same context as the others, Enamorus is usually named independently. All four members share the {{t|Flying}} [[type]], and are able to [[form|change form]] into their Therian Formes from their Incarnate Formes using the [[Reveal Glass]]. They each represent a different season in Hisui.

==History and myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
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 {{g|Dream Radar}}, they are known to inhabit their Therian Formes in the [[Interdream Zone]], changing form to suit their environment. [[Professor Burnet]] suspects they may have been born here. The name "Therian Forme" was also coined by Professor Burnet.<ref>[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]: "it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme!"</ref>

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 uncertainty on whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] theorizes that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the forces of nature. Their Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas, while they assume their Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

==In animation==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial forces of nature in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
{{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 {{aniseries|BW}}]]
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 Formes in Pokémon Adventures]]
===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 {{MangaArc|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 and flew away.

===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W ===
Only Tornadus appeared in [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], being {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Monta]] in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'' in order to add his data to the [[Pokédex]].

==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 of the forces of nature cannot be traded. This is due to the fact that their Therian Formes were not present in Pokémon Black and White.
*All of the forces of nature are weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
*Tornadus and Thundurus were initially designed as red and blue demons, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also later redesigned to distance them further. 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 name="LavaCutInterview">''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the forces of nature appear to be based on {{wp|kami|deities}} from Japanese mythology. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and Landorus is based on a deity of the land,<ref name="LavaCutInterview" /> perhaps specifically referring to {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests. Enamorus appears to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility. The Therian Formes of the forces of nature seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}:<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> Tornadus represents the {{wp|Vermilion Bird}}, Thundurus represents the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}, Landorus represents the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}, and Enamorus represents the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}.

The original trio 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).

Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}. Landorus may be based on the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who isn't directly connected to autumn, but is sometimes depicted with crops and sometimes said to bring dry winds (like Landorus' [[signature move]], {{m|Sandsear Storm}}), or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

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.

The '''Swords of Justice''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|聖|せい}}{{ruby|剣|けん}}{{ruby|士|し}}''' ''Sei-kenshi'', "Sacred Swordsmen")<ref>[[M15]]</ref> is a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}. Sometimes, the group also includes the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Keldeo}}. The group resides in the [[Unova]] region.

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

===Origin===
The Swords of Justice are often referred to by fans as the '''Legendary musketeers''', as they are loosely based on the titular group of main characters from the French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'' by {{wp|Alexandre Dumas}}.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> 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 vainest, most romantic member of the group;<ref name=ND204/> and Keldeo may represent {{wp|d'Artagnan}}, the latest and, by far, youngest addition to the group.

==History==
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|"Imagined" Sword of Justice from the [[Violet Book]]]]
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, the three Swords of Justice distrust humans because of a war that endangered the Pokémon living in [[Unova]]. The war between two human factions 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 the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{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 [[Pokémon Violet]], a sketch artist from the Area Zero expedition was inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] and drew an imaginary Pokémon resembling the Swords of Justice (sans Keldeo), as well as, incidentally, {{p|Iron Leaves}}, {{p|Iron Boulder}}, and {{p|Iron Crown}}. The [[Scarlet Book]] instead depicts a creature resembling the [[legendary beasts]].

Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion are said to be related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]], Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown, respectively. Conflicting accounts claim they're the Swords' descendants from the distant future or versions of them from parallel timelines.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Swords of Justice first appeared in this arc. The first one of them, Virizion, debuted in ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', attacking {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. All three of them later appeared in [[Mistralton Cave]], where Trish from {{tc|the Riches}} tried to capture them, but only succeeded in having her and [[Shoko]]'s Pokémon taken away by them before Black convinced the Legendary Pokémon to return them. The Swords of Justice later made their way to [[Pledge Grove]], where they taught their apprentice, Keldeo, to use {{m|Sacred Sword}}. All four of them then left for the [[P2 Laboratory]], where they helped the {{gy|Striaton}} [[Gym Leader]]s in defeating the [[Shadow Triad]]. As an act of revenge, however, the Shadow Triad unleashed [[Team Plasma]]'s {{p|Genesect|secret weapon}} on them. Its attack froze Keldeo's mentors into block of ice and sent them sinking into the ocean.

===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
Two years later, Keldeo was encountered by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} in Pledge Grove. Blake later returned there and managed to convince Keldeo into joining his quest to take down the resurgent Team Plasma, which it agreed to in order to avenge the fate of its mentors, being [[nickname]]d Kelden. Later, when Blake, Whitley, and Kelden were also frozen and sank into the sea, they wound up in the [[Abyssal Ruins]], where Kelden's frozen mentors were located. Once freed from the ice, they chose to join the battle against Team Plasma. While Kelden went with Blake to confront [[Colress]], the rest of the Swords of Justice fought against the Shadow Triad and the {{adv|forces of nature}}. After Kelden broke the [[Reveal Glass]] while attempting to stab Colress, the Swords of Justice were able to defeat the forces of nature and the Shadow Triad. Even after Team Plasma's ultimate defeat, Kelden chose to stay with Blake.

===Pokémon RéBURST===
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]].

Peterchong: /* Gameplay */ grammar

{{search|wild Pokémon variant|other uses|Alpha (disambiguation)}} ''For the Pokémon whose {{pkmn|category}} is "Alpha Pokémon", see {{p|Arceus}}.''
----
[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]], featuring an alpha {{p|Ursaring}}]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] appearing in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild. Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes (except those that do not have eyes, such as {{p|Zubat}} or {{p|Greavard}}); this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Pokémon Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A that were identified as alpha Pokémon will instead gain the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]], which provides the [[title]] "Former Alpha" when put into a game without alpha Pokémon mechanics. Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, [[Mythical Pokémon]], and certain species in the [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|No eggs Discovered]] [[Egg Group]] have also had since [[Generation VI]].

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up, selected at random from among the species' list of Move Tutor moves. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

Due to being exclusively obtained as either [[gift Pokémon]] or [[transfer]]red from a previous title, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}} and Alolan {{p|Ninetales}} are the only non Legendary or Mythical Pokémon in Legends: Arceus that cannot be obtained as alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might. There is a two unused variants of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts, and '''Frenzied Might''' (Japanese: '''荒ぶる力'''). Their usage within the game is unknown, however both [[Palina]] and [[Lian]] mention frenzied might when rematching battles with thier [[noble Pokémon]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Alpha Pokémon recently began appearing in [[Lumiose City]], but the reason was never confirmed. Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. Alpha Pokémon are always classified as XL-[[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|sized]], though they are noticeably larger than non-alpha XL specimens. Alpha Pokémon will start to appear throughout [[Lumiose City]] after completing [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 05: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower".

Alpha Pokémon all have the following benefits:
* At least three random {{IV}}s at the maximum value of 31
* Already have the maximum 252 {{EV}}s in HP
* Know a mastered move not normally learn by level up; each species always gets the [[List of alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A by exclusive move|same mastered TM move]]

Wild alpha Pokémon tend to prioritize directly attacking the {{player}} over attacking their Pokémon. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, the player is not stunned if they are within range of an alpha's shockwave, instead receiving a minor amount of damage, which can cause blacking out if the player is at critical health. When in battle, wild alpha Pokémon have
* ×2 applied to their Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def stats; this is analogous to their Wild Might buff from Legends: Arceus, but is never stated in-game
* ×0.5 applied to their catch rate; this penalty is negated if the alpha Pokémon is knocked out, applying ×3 during the catch window (effectively ×1.5)

The real-time battle system gives the size of alpha Pokémon an impact on battles. Larger Pokémon are easier to hit, especially by indirect attacks in [[Z-A Battle Club]]. They also can get stuck more easily. Ranged attacks coming from a certain part of the body may come out at less accurate angles. However, direct attacks can benefit from larger hitboxes.

===Transfer===
Alpha Pokémon can be [[transfer]]red outside of both Legends: Arceus and Legends: Z-A via [[Pokémon HOME]]. Like with other properties, such as [[move]]s and [[EV]]s, a Pokémon's alpha status is saved within HOME and will be restored when brought back into either Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A. Alpha Pokémon from Legends: Arceus can be sent backwards into {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, acting as regular Pokémon due to the lack of [[size]] difference. When sent forward into {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]] [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]], allowing them to have the "Former Alpha" [[title]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games; instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

Similarly to Scarlet and Violet, alpha Pokémon originating from either Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A will gain the Alpha Mark and the Former Alpha title in {{g|Champions}}. Pokémon Champions, however, lacks any size differention.

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Also known as "static" alpha Pokémon, fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

====[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]====
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Similar to Legends: Arceus, fixed alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A always appear in their alpha form in a specific location.

Species marked with * cannot be found anywhere in the wild except as alpha Pokémon, outside of [[Mega Dimension]].

====Unique alpha Pokémon====
During Main Mission 40: "The One That Gives", three unique Alpha Pokémon spawn, and each of them must be caught or defeated to progress the mission. If they are defeated without being caught, they will be permanently missed, and can never respawn again. They are referred to as "Anomalous Alphas" by [[Mable]] and in her [[Mable's research|Pokédex Research]], specifically ''Investigating Anomalous Alphas''.

[[File:Alpha Garchomp HS.png|thumb|250px|An alpha {{p|Garchomp}} in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]
===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

Alpha Pokémon share their name with {{p|Arceus}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in English. This similarity is not present in Japanese or any other localization.

[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]], featuring an alpha {{p|Ursaring}}]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] appearing in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild. Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes (except those that do not have eyes, such as {{p|Zubat}} or {{p|Greavard}}); this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Pokémon Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A that were identified as alpha Pokémon will instead gain the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]], which provides the [[title]] "Former Alpha" when put into a game without alpha Pokémon mechanics. Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, [[Mythical Pokémon]], and certain species in the [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|No eggs Discovered]] [[Egg Group]] have also had since [[Generation VI]].

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up, selected at random from among the species' list of Move Tutor moves. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

Due to being exclusively obtained as either [[gift Pokémon]] or [[transfer]]red from a previous title, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}} and Alolan {{p|Ninetales}} are the only non-Legendary Mythical Pokémon in Legends: Arceus that cannot be obtained as alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might. There is a two unused variants of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts, and '''Frenzied Might''' (Japanese: '''荒ぶる力'''). Their usage within the game is unknown, however both [[Palina]] and [[Lian]] mention frenzied might when rematching battles with thier [[noble Pokémon]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Alpha Pokémon recently began appearing in [[Lumiose City]], but the reason was never confirmed. Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. Alpha Pokémon are always classified as XL-[[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|sized]], though they are noticeably larger than non-alpha XL specimens. Alpha Pokémon will start to appear throughout [[Lumiose City]] after completing [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 05: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower".

Alpha Pokémon all have the following benefits:
* At least three random {{IV}}s at the maximum value of 31
* Already have the maximum 252 {{EV}}s in HP
* Know a mastered move not normally learn by level up; each species always gets the [[List of alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A by exclusive move|same mastered TM move]]

Wild alpha Pokémon tend to prioritize directly attacking the {{player}} over attacking their Pokémon. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, the player is not stunned if they are within range of an alpha's shockwave, instead receiving a minor amount of damage, which can cause blacking out if the player is at critical health. When in battle, wild alpha Pokémon have
* ×2 applied to their Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def stats; this is analogous to their Wild Might buff from Legends: Arceus, but is never stated in-game
* ×0.5 applied to their catch rate; this penalty is negated if the alpha Pokémon is knocked out, applying ×3 during the catch window (effectively ×1.5)

The real-time battle system gives the size of alpha Pokémon an impact on battles. Larger Pokémon are easier to hit, especially by indirect attacks in [[Z-A Battle Club]]. They also can get stuck more easily. Ranged attacks coming from a certain part of the body may come out at less accurate angles. However, direct attacks can benefit from larger hitboxes.

===Transfer===
Alpha Pokémon can be [[transfer]]red outside of both Legends: Arceus and Legends: Z-A via [[Pokémon HOME]]. Like with other properties, such as [[move]]s and [[EV]]s, a Pokémon's alpha status is saved within HOME and will be restored when brought back into either Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A. Alpha Pokémon from Legends: Arceus can be sent backwards into {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, acting as regular Pokémon due to the lack of [[size]] difference. When sent forward into {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]] [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]], allowing them to have the "Former Alpha" [[title]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games; instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

Similarly to Scarlet and Violet, alpha Pokémon originating from either Legends: Arceus or Legends: Z-A will gain the Alpha Mark and the Former Alpha title in {{g|Champions}}. Pokémon Champions, however, lacks any size differention.

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Also known as "static" alpha Pokémon, fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

====[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]====
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

====Unique alpha Pokémon====
During Main Mission 40: "The One That Gives", three unique Alpha Pokémon spawn, and each of them must be caught or defeated to progress the mission. If they are defeated without being caught, they will be permanently missed, and can never respawn again. They are referred to as "Anomalous Alphas" by [[Mable]] and in her [[Mable's research|Pokédex Research]], specifically ''Investigating Anomalous Alphas''.

===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.

==Trivia==
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

Alpha Pokémon share their name with {{p|Arceus}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in English. This similarity is not present in Japanese or any other localization.

'''Amethio's Ceruledge''' (Japanese: '''アメジオのソウブレイズ''' ''Amethio's Soublades'') is [[Amethio]]'s [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Amethio and Charcadet.png|thumb|250px|Charcadet becoming Amethio's first Pokémon]]
====Pre-series====
In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', it was revealed that [[Amethio]] met {{p|Ceruledge}} as a {{p|Charcadet}} during a trip with his family on an island near the city of [[Levincia]]. Since then, he became Amethio's first Pokémon, and an irreplaceable partner at that.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Ceruledge debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', having been sent out to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Friede's Charizard]] at the rooftops of [[Indigo Academy]]. Both sides were equally matched, but the battle ended abruptly when they all noticed [[Liko]] and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} jumping from one roof to another. In that moment, [[Amethio]] saw an opportunity to strike Charizard down and commanded Ceruledge to use {{m|Psycho Cut}} on it, but the {{pkmn|category|Flame Pokémon}} deflected the attack, unintentionally causing the blade of psychic energy to fly past [[Friede]] and head towards Liko. Fortunately, Liko was shielded from the stray Psycho Cut by a mysterious green, hexagon-patterned protective sphere of energy that appeared around her. Soon after, Friede and Charizard rescued them from their fall and fled from the area.

In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Ceruledge battled against Friede again, this time facing off against [[Captain Pikachu]]. The battle was eventually stopped when Liko interfered, about to give herself up. However, after being encouraged by her Pokémon, she had Sprigatito attack Ceruledge with a {{m|Leafage}} so powerful that it managed to break the forcefield around the [[Brave Olivine]]'s battlefield. However, this led to the Grass Cat Pokémon being blown overboard by the stormy winds in the process, allowing Amethio and his crew to kidnap her before fleeing.
[[File:HZ022.png|thumb|left|250px|Ceruledge battling against Friede's Charizard]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Ceruledge again battled against Captain Pikachu, this time being able to push both Pikachu and Friede into a corner. However, just as they were about to win the battle, it was called off once Amethio noticed Liko running away with her recently-recovered Sprigatito and Friede and Captain Pikachu successfully escaping by flying on Friede's Charizard.
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Ceruledge was used to battle Liko's Sprigatito and [[Roy's Fuecoco]] in a two-on-one battle, where Ceruledge's superior battling experience and power easily overwhelmed the duo. The battle was called off once a [[Black Rayquaza]] emerged from [[Roy]]'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]], forcing the [[Explorers]] to retreat.
[[File:Amethio Ceruledge Weak Armor.png|thumb|right|250px|Weak Armor activated]]
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Ceruledge battled against Friede's Charizard at the [[Galar Mine]]. This time, he gained a major lead due to the activation of his {{a|Weak Armor}} [[Ability]] once Charizard made direct contact with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, sharply increasing his {{stat|speed}}. However, the battle was interrupted by the sudden appearance of [[Lucius]]'s {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Ceruledge attacked and scared off a {{p|Stonjourner}}, allowing Amethio and his group access to the [[ancient castle]]. In the [[HZ025|following episode]], Ceruledge battled against Friede's Charizard yet again and tricked it into making direct contact to activate his Ability, giving Ceruledge the upper hand. However, once Charizard {{Tera}}stallized into a {{t|Dark}} type, Ceruledge was defeated by a single {{m|Tera Blast}}.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|thumb|left|250px|Ceruledge and Charizard joining forces to battle the Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Amethio used Ceruledge in a battle against the Black Rayquaza alongside {{p|Corviknight}} but, despite doing their best, they were easily defeated. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Amethio used Ceruledge to battle [[Hamber]]'s {{p|Dusknoir}} in a {{pkmn|training}} battle. However, Ceruledge was defeated after Hamber Terastallized his Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Ceruledge Terastallized for the first time into a pure {{t|Ghost}} [[type]] in order to face off against the Black Rayquaza. In stark contrast to last time, Ceruledge was able to effectively deal damage on the Legendary Pokémon, maneuvering around it with a series of Terastallization-enhanced {{m|Phantom Force}} attacks. After Friede entered the battle, the Fire Blades Pokémon teamed up with his Terastallized Charizard. For the remainder of the battle, Ceruledge and Charizard managed to put up a good fight and effectively dealt more damage to Rayquaza, but despite this, both eventually fell to Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', Ceruledge was used to battle [[Liko's Floragato]] on [[Glaseado Mountain]]. Having gotten much stronger since their last battle, Floragato was able to keep pace with Ceruledge, forcing Amethio to use Terastallization to gain the upper hand. Before Ceruledge could finish off Floragato, the battle was interrupted by [[Spinel]], who tested the effects of his recently-obtained [[Laquium]] on his {{p|Umbreon}}. The Laquium forced Umbreon into a berserk, feral-like state, giving it the strength to defeat Ceruledge in a single blow. Later, Spinel tricked Amethio, Ceruledge, and Liko into entering a nearby cave before sealing the entrance, trapping everyone but himself inside. Ceruledge was then ordered by Amethio to use multiple Psycho Cuts in an attempt to break through the cave walls but to no avail. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', seeing Floragato get some grass stalks for a campfire, Ceruledge wants to help out as well, warming up Amethio with the heat from his fiery blades, to which Amethio thanked him for. After that, thanks to Liko's suggestion, Ceruledge kept everyone warm by starting a fire until he teamed up with Corviknight and Floragato to break through the roof of the cave. After the group escaped, Ceruledge and Amethio parted ways with Liko and Floragato peacefully.
[[File:HZ088.png|thumb|250px|Ceruledge's teaming up with the Rising Volt Tacklers to take on the White Zygarde]]
In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Ceruledge accompanied Amethio in the Exceed company laboratory to figure out Spinel's schemes. He was apparently captured by security guards hired by Spinel whilst trying to defend his Trainer. After being rescued and returned to Amethio by Hamber, Ceruledge accompanied Amethio to [[Amethio's mansion|his mansion]] to form plans against Spinel, before setting off to [[Laqua]].

In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Ceruledge accompanied his Trainer to Laqua. He attempted to damage Spinel's machinery with Psycho Cut, but his moves were deflected by Coral's Glalie. He later Terastallized and teamed up with Floragato, Crocalor, and Quaxwell in order to face off against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]]. In the next episode, the group fought against Zygarde, with Amethio learning proper teamwork to enable Ceruledge to battle more effectively. Despite the group's efforts, however, they were still no match for the Order Pokémon. After witnessing Floragato evolve, Ceruledge and Amethio were inspired as well, with Ceruledge teaming up with Liko's newly evolved Meowscarada for a final assault on Zygarde. Ceruledge used Bitter Blade to slice apart Zygarde's attack, defending Meowscarada and buying her enough time to land a powerful {{m|Flower Trick}} on Zygarde. After the battle, Zygarde then got up and revealed it was testing Liko's and her friend's strength and resolve all along.
[[File:Liko Armarouge and Amethio Ceruledge.png|thumb|left|250px|Ceruledge and [[Liko's Armarouge]]]]
Since the events at Laqua, Ceruledge had been helping Amethio fend off grunts sent by Spinel to capture him. They eventually escaped to the same island where Ceruledge met Amethio. Over a year later in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', Ceruledge and his Trainer were reunited with Liko, Onia, and Zirc. He was then used to battle Liko's {{p|Charcadet}}, overwhelming it in every way, but Charcadet's refusal to give up inspired Ceruledge to be motivated. Although Ceruledge took Charcadet down with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, the battle was officially called off with no winner. After the battle, Ceruledge joined his Trainer to search for Gibeon's Zygarde and find a way to fight against Spinel.

In ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Ceruledge was used to battle five of Six Heroes, who were affected by an improved [[Strong Sphere]] called Super Strong Sphere. However, despite his efforts, Ceruledge gets knocked out by {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}.

In [[HZ124]], Ceruledge was used alongside Liko's Charcadet to battle [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s two {{p|Salamence}}, with both Pokémon working well as a team against the two Dragon-Types. After Charcadet evolved into {{p|Armarouge}}, Ceruledge dealt some damage to both Salamence before Armarouge finished them off with a powerful {{m|Armor Cannon}}.

In [[HZ134]], Ceruledge was sent out to help the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon in purify Laquium for good. In the [[HZ135|next episode]], Ceruledge and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon made an attempt to purify the Laquium Core, but the Explorers interfered, losing [[Penny]]'s {{p|Sylveon}} in the process, until [[Coral]] sent out her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take the {{pkmn|category|Intertwining Pokémon}}'s place. However, Ceruledge and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon couldn't erase the Laquium Core before Spinel merged with it, awakening it. Ceruledge subsequently teamed up with his friends to take down the Laquium Core. In the [[HZ136|following episode]], Ceruledge joined his friends in helping Pagogo erase the Laquium Core for good after the Black Rayquaza and White Zygarde used Mega Evolution to make an opening for them to do so.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Ceruledge shorter blade.png|thumb|250px|Ceruledge's fiery blades]]
Ceruledge is [[Amethio]]'s first partner and main battler Pokémon, being used in most of his {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s battles. Ceruledge has shown to have many of his Trainer's traits, being quite cold and not hesitating to hit or wound other people with his attacks. Ceruledge presents himself as a completely obedient Pokémon, following every single one of Amethio's orders without question or hesitation. His loyalty is further proven when he is shown to be willing to take on attacks and protect his Trainer from harm. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Ceruledge used his fiery blades to keep his Trainer warm in a cold cave they were trapped in. Ceruledge has been loyal to Amethio ever since he was a {{p|Charcadet}}, with {{OBP|Maria|Horizons}}, Amethio's mother, commenting how the two were close like brothers. He also promised Maria that he will protect Amethio and keep him safe from danger, a promise he still strives to uphold many years after her death.
[[File:Amethio and Ceruledge.png|thumb|left|250px|Ceruledge and Amethio]]
Much like Amethio, Ceruledge has been shown to still have a sense of honor and mercy even towards enemies, such as obeying Amethio's commands to save [[Liko]]'s life when he had no reason to, and willingly teamed up with [[Friede's Charizard]] who he was enemies with against [[Lucius]]'s [[Black Rayquaza]] in battle.
[[File:Young Amethio Charcadet.png|thumb|250px|As a Charcadet with Amethio in his youth]]
In terms of battling, Ceruledge is quite skilled and powerful, being able to battle and overwhelm [[Liko's Sprigatito]] and [[Roy's Fuecoco]] single-handedly without breaking a sweat. He was also shown to be capable of battling toe-to-toe against [[Friede]]'s Charizard and [[Captain Pikachu]], further showing his battling prowess and experience. Like most of his {{p|Ceruledge|kind}}, Ceruledge is ruthless in battle and mainly relies on his speed and agility to overwhelm opponents, and he will not hesitate to use sneak attacks and ambushes to his advantage.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', Ceruledge was shown to have developed a rivalry with [[Liko's Charcadet]], whose courage and refusal to give up in battle inspired both Ceruledge and Amethio to regain their fighting spirit and drive. Despite Ceruledge being significantly stronger than the Fire Child Pokémon, he respects Charcadet's determination and treats it as a legitimate opponent in battle regardless of their power gap. Also, despite the rivalry, Ceruledge works well with Charcadet in battle and seems to have formed a friendship with it. Ceruledge is even impressed with Charcadet's improvement in strength and becomes more pleased with it when it evolved into {{p|Armarouge}}.

Friendship Evolution

Peterchong: /* Pokémon Horizons: The Series */

[[File:Friendly evolution.png|thumb|right|200px|Early explanation about friendship Evolution<br>(''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 19)]]
'''Friendship Evolution'''<ref>''"Perhaps the trickiest type of evolution is the '''Friendship Evolution'''. If you treat your Pokémon with utmost respect and care until it is very happy and very attached to you, it will evolve."'' - ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 5</ref> refers to the process of [[Evolution|evolving]] a Pokémon with high [[friendship]]. This [[Methods of Evolution|method of Evolution]] was introduced in [[Generation II]].

This has also been referred to as '''Friendly Evolution'''<ref>''"I have concluded that several Pokémon will evolve only when they are very attached to their Trainers—a process called '''Friendly Evolution'''."'' - ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 19</ref><ref>''"Umbreon and Espeon are the result of '''Friendly Evolution''', and Eevee won't evolve into either until it really trusts you."'' - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #140, page 80</ref> and '''Evolution by Friendship'''.<ref>[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] game manual, section "Get the Evolution Items", page 43 (American version) or page 39 (European version)</ref>

==In the core series games==
Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} evolve when they are leveled up with enough [[friendship]]. As long as the Pokémon has the required amount of friendship, unless there are other requirements for its Evolution, it will attempt to evolve whenever it levels up by {{pkmn|battle}} or [[Rare Candy]]. However, in the case of certain Pokémon, the friendship Evolution may only be available at certain times of day, it may require [[held item|holding an item]] or knowing a certain [[move]].

This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This is the same generation where the feature of all Pokémon having a friendship value was introduced, as opposed to the early friendship mechanic from {{game|Yellow}} which only applied to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the partner Pikachu]].

[[Baby Pokémon]] often have this Evolution requirement, but it is also an Evolution requirement for other Pokémon, and not all baby Pokémon have this as an Evolution requirement

===Generations II to VII===
From [[Generation II]] to {{gen|VII}}, a Pokémon requires at least 220 friendship in order to evolve.

In these generations, a level 100 Pokémon is unable to evolve by leveling up. Since the friendship Evolution involves leveling up, a Pokémon with this level is unable to evolve by friendship.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Eevee}} is unable to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} due to the lack of the [[time]] feature even though those games are compatible with the evolved forms traded from other games.

===Generation VIII onwards===
From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, a Pokémon requires at least 160 friendship in order to evolve.

If a [[Rare Candy]] is used on a level 100 Pokémon that evolves by leveling up and currently meets its Evolution requirements (including friendship), it will evolve without gaining a level.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum===
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], all friendship Evolutions up to [[Generation III]] are available except {{p|Eevee}} is unable to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} due to the lack of the [[time]] feature. However, both evolved forms are otherwise available together as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]].

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], all friendship Evolutions up to [[Generation III]] are available. However, instead of evolving during the day or at night, an {{p|Eevee}} with high enough friendship evolves into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} if the player has the [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]] in the [[Bag]], respectively.

Since the player is required to choose only one of {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Evolution item]]s to be obtained on [[Gateon Port]], Eevee's Evolution into Espeon or Umbreon is only available once per game and it is not possible to have both Shards in the Bag at the same time.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky====
{{main|IQ|section=Evolution}}

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the [[IQ]] mechanic serves as the replacement for friendship. The number of IQ stars required varies between species.

The IQ mechanic is used for the available friendship Evolutions (for instance, a {{p|Pichu}} with high IQ can evolve into {{p|Pikachu}}).

The requirement of evolving during the day or the night is replaced by using a {{MD evo item|Sun Ribbon}} or {{MD evo item|Lunar Ribbon}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], although [[IQ]] was replaced by [[Team Skill]]s, neither of them is required for friendship-based Evolutions. Instead, a hidden stat is used in place of a Pokémon's friendship. This stat increases by 2 when a Pokémon enters a dungeon.

{{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Azurill}} require a value of 10 to evolve, while {{p|Woobat}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, and {{p|Eevee}} require 20.

The requirement of evolving during the day or the night is replaced by using a {{MD evo item|Heart of the Sun|g=V}} or {{MD evo item|Heart of the Moon|g=V}}.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], all friendship Evolutions are readily available with no requirement. For instance, any {{p|Pichu}} can simply evolve into {{p|Pikachu}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], all the methods of Evolution other than [[level-based Evolution|Evolution by level]] were replaced by {{MD evo item|Evolution Crystal|Evolution Crystals|g=RTDX}}.

A Pokémon needs 2 Evolution Crystals to evolves into its 2nd stage, or 4 Evolution Crystals to evolve into its 3rd stage.

===Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], it is possible to evolve caught Pokémon that would normally require friendship in the core series games.

Like all Evolutions in this game, this is achievable in the Evolution Mode by simply choosing that Pokémon (such as {{p|Golbat}} evolving into {{p|Crobat}}) and then obtaining a certain {{pin|Evolution Item}} three times somewhere on the Pinball table under the deadline (usually 2 minutes, which can be extended using the {{pin|Pokémon Mart|Timer Bonus}}). In the case of friendship Evolution, the Evolution item is a heart symbol ([[File:Pinball RS Friendship.png]]). Once this is done, the player's Poké Ball is required to enter the Center Hole to finish this process. There is a short Pokémon Evolution animation, and then the evolved form will count as caught in the {{pin|Pokédex}}.

In this game, the four friendship Evolution lines from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex]] are available:

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{cute color}}; border:5px solid #{{cute color}}; text-align: center;"

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Munchlax}}'s trophy mentions its Evolution: ''"Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''

==In animation==
{{incomplete|section|Check if any other friendship Evolutions occur in animation}}
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Many Pokémon have evolved through friendship Evolution throughout {{aniseries|PTS}}. The vast majority of these friendships have been between Trainer and Pokémon, though other times it may be triggered on its own, or from loyalty and gratefulness from another Pokémon. This was demonstrated when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was shown to have evolved from a {{p|Pichu}}, in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', out of gratitude from a {{p|Kangaskhan}} taking care of him when he was younger.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
[[Gary's Umbreon]] evolved from an {{p|Eevee}} prior to ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''.

[[Brock's Crobat]] evolved from a {{p|Golbat}} in ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' after some encouragement from {{an|Brock}}.

[[Sakura's Espeon]] evolved from an Eevee prior to ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[Misty's Togetic]] evolved from a {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''.

A {{p|Munchlax}} evolved into a {{p|Snorlax}} in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[Nando's Roserade]] as a {{p|Roselia}} evolved from a {{p|Budew}} in its debut ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
{{Ash}}'s {{p|Swadloon}} evolved into a {{AP|Leavanny}} in ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]''

[[Virgil]]'s {{p|Umbreon}} evolved from an Eevee prior to ''[[BW102|Team Eevee and the Pokémon Rescue Squad!]]''.

[[Cameron's Lucario]] evolved from a {{p|Riolu}} in ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]''.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
[[Korrina's Lucario]] evolved from a Riolu prior to ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[Gladion's Umbreon]] evolved from an Eevee prior to ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''.

[[Gladion's Silvally]] evolved from a {{p|Type: Null}} in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[Ash's Pikachu]] was revealed to have evolved from a {{p|Pichu}} in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''

[[Ash's Lucario]] evolved from a Riolu in ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]''.

[[Brock's Blissey]] evolved from a {{p|Chansey}} prior to ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]''.

===''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''===
In a flashback in [[HZ136]], [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Eevee}} evolved into {{p|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Check if any other friendship Evolutions occur in the manga (possibly also in manga titles other than Pokémon Adventures)}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', it is shown that [[Vee]] evolved from {{p|Eevee}} into {{p|Espeon}}.

[[Karen]]'s owned her {{p|Umbreon}} since it was an Eevee. It first appeared in ''[[PS173|The Last Battle VII]]''.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS459|All About Arceus VIII]]'', it is implied that [[Togebo]] evolved by this method from {{p|Togepi}} into {{p|Togetic}}. This happened when {{adv|Gold}} apologized for thinking that Togebo was not as strong as his other Pokémon and upon realizing his mistake, told Togebo to join the other Pokémon in the battle against the rampaging {{adv|Arceus}}.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', {{adv|Y}}'s {{p|Eevee}}, Veevee, evolved into {{p|Sylveon}} after knowing {{m|Baby-Doll Eyes}} and becoming friends with Y.

[[Korrina's Lucario]] evolved from a Riolu prior to ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda!]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
[[Gladion's Silvally]] evolved from a {{p|Type: Null}} in ''[[PASM22|The Truth and Island Kahuna Hapu!]]''.

In ''[[PASM33|Tyrant!! The Fiendish Man!]]'', {{adv|Sun}} revealed that he and his {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], had never truly become friends and instead stuck together over the mutual goal of avenging [[Sun's great-grandfather]]. He attributes this for the reason Cent had not evolved despite getting stronger.

List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon

2026-04-27T09:30:14Z

Peterchong: /* Intentionally unobtainable Shiny Pokémon */ Adding HOME label for Volcanion

This is a '''list of unobtainable [[Shiny Pokémon]]''' in the [[Pokémon games]].

==Availability==
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained as Shiny. These Pokémon are commonly referred to as '''{{DL|Appendix:Fan_terminology|Shiny-locked}}''' by fans. This can happen if the Pokémon is coded not to appear as Shiny in the {{pkmn2|wild}} or via in-game {{pkmn2|gift}}s or [[in-game trade|trades]] and has never been distributed as Shiny via {{pkmn2|event}}s.

All Pokémon have Shiny variants in the games' code, regardless of their availability. However, the Shiny forms of [[Pikachu in a cap]] and the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner]] {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} are identical to their regular coloration. This was also true of {{p|Magearna}}'s standard form in [[Generation VII]] only, and {{p|Castform}}'s Sunny, Rainy, and Snowy Forms in the [[core series]] games prior to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (though they had the coloration in [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon HOME]] prior). It is also the case for {{p|Floette}}'s Eternal Flower and [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] forms in Pokémon HOME, despite them having distinct Shiny colorations in the core series and in {{g|Champions}}.

Starting in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, all in-game event Pokémon encounters, such as [[Legendary Pokémon]], are programmed to never be Shiny.

===Intentionally unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{incomplete|needs=Game abbreviations and notes for version exclusive, DLC exclusive, and other conditionally available shinies species/forms}}
The following is a non-comprehensive list of species that have been subject to Shiny locks in a given game, or generation, with some having extremely limited conditions for being obtained as Shiny.

* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✔''' can be obtained in-game, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.
* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''~''' could not be obtained in-game directly, but could be acquired through [[Event Pokémon|event distributions]] or [[transfer]] from other games.
* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✘''' could not be obtained by any means, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.

===In Generations I and II===
In [[Generation II]], shininess is determined by a Pokémon's [[IV|DV]]s. This causes several {{DL|Shiny Pokémon|quirks}} with the availability of certain species and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] in these games.

====Generation I availability====
Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation|pseudorandom numbers]] in the [[Generation I]] games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of DVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from [[Pokémon Stadium]]), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of DVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny DV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

The following table lists all Pokémon with restricted Shiny availability in a Generation I game which are not covered in the table above due to their availability also being limited in future generations. All Pokémon which cannot be obtained Shiny in Generation I can be found in Generation II with a normal Shiny rate.

Peterchong: /* Trivia */ Total number of Mythical Pokemon in HS Pokedex is 11 instead of 12.

{{#seo:|keywords=Hyperspace, Legends: Z-A, Mega Dimension}}
{{shortcut|1|Hydex}}
This is a list of Pokémon in the order dictated by the [[Hyperspace Lumiose|hyperspace]] [[regional Pokédex]]. There are 132 numbered Pokémon in the Hyperspace Pokédex, 131 of which are directly available in the game and required for Pokédex completion. Additionally, the Hyperspace Pokédex shares the "[[List of Pokémon in the Mega Evolution Pokédex|Mega Evolution Pokédex]]".

{{p|Zeraora}} from the regular Pokédex is only available through [[Mystery Gift]] event and thus not required for Pokédex completion.

==Trivia==
* This is the first DLC Pokédex not to share any Pokémon with the Pokédex from the base game.
* The Hyperspace Pokédex has the most obtainable [[Mythical Pokémon]] in a [[core series]] game, with a total of 11.
* Containing 132 species of Pokémon, it is the smallest [[DLC]] regional Pokédex by number of species to date.
* This is the first time that there is no reward like [[diploma]] or [[charm]] for completion of the Pokédex.

==In the anime==
[[File:Leaf Stone BW135.png|thumb|250px|A Leaf Stone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The [[Leaf Forest]] appeared in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', which is a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones. The radiation from these stones in the forest is so strong that it caused [[Melvin]]'s {{p|Exeggcute}} to evolve.

A fake Leaf Stone, made by {{TRT}}, appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', where the discovery of its nature as a fake was central to the episode.

A real Leaf Stone first appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] evolved into an {{p|Exeggutor}}.

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', a set of Leaf Stones was offered as the prize for winning the [[Grass Tournament]]. Although Team Rocket tried to steal the stones, they were eventually won by [[Ephraim]]. He planned on using them to evolve [[Ephraim's parents|his parents]]' Pokémon.

Both a Leaf Stone and a [[Sun Stone]] appeared in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' during an explanation of the [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]].

''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' featured the Leaf Stone along with all of the other Evolution stones available as of [[Generation V]].

A full set of Evolution stones was seen on display in a stone shop in [[Geosenge Town]] in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''.

In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', [[Professor Cerise's Yamper]] gave [[Goh]] a Leaf Stone he had found. Goh immediately used the stone to evolve his Exeggcute into {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Exeggutor}}.

==In the manga==

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
The focus of the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' was Evolution stones, including the Leaf Stone.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Evolution stones Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Evolution stones in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] told {{adv|Yellow}} about a legend of an underwater dome at the bottom of {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor, housing a set of Evolution stones which, unlike normal stones, did not disappear after making a Pokémon evolve, allowing them to be used repeatedly. The cause of [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]]'s evolution had been one of these said stones, proving the legend to be true. Yellow was later led to the dome by a wild {{p|Tentacruel}}, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that {{adv|Giovanni}} had given them to {{adv|Red}} so he could freely evolve and [[devolution|devolve]] his [[Vee|Eevee]].

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS196|Ring Ring Goes Beldum]]'', a Leaf Stone was seen amongst the stones collected by {{Steven}}.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
In ''[[PS519|Triple Threat]]'', [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] used a Leaf Stone, [[Fire Stone]], and [[Water Stone]] to evolve their {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, and {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} into {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}, respectively, during their battle against the [[Shadow Triad]].

==Trivia==
* The Leaf Stone is the only Evolution stone that cannot be sold to the {{DL|Item maniac|ore maniac}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}. This was corrected in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ice Stone anime.png|thumb|250px|An Ice Stone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
An Ice Stone was first seen in ''[[SM080|Not Caving Under Pressure!]]'', where [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] found one while helping to fix up a cave inhabited by a group of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, revealing that the cave was in fact an Ice Stone mine where Sandshrew gather to evolve. The leader of the Sandshrew pack, a {{pkmn2|giant}} Sandshrew, touched the stone and proceeded to evolve into an Alolan {{p|Sandslash}}. Later, after exiting the cave, Charjabug was revealed to have found another Ice Stone, which {{an|Sophocles}} gave to {{an|Lillie}}. She asked [[Snowy]] if it wanted to use the stone to evolve, but Snowy didn't feel ready for it yet, so Lillie decided to hold on to the stone in case Snowy ever changed its mind.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The Ice Stone was first revealed by a picture on the official {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} Pokémon website on October 4, 2016. However, the picture was quickly removed due to the stone not having been previously announced.
* Data for the Ice Stone exists in {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, even though it is unobtainable in those games.

==In the anime==
[[File:Water Stone JN063.png|thumb|250px|A Water Stone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Water Stone debuted in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]]. In the party they hosted, a Trainer used a Water Stone to evolve his {{p|Poliwhirl}} into a {{p|Poliwrath}}.

In ''[[AG067|Go Go Ludicolo!]]'', a Water Stone appeared in a fantasy.

In ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'', a Water Stone belonging to [[Samantha]] appeared; Brock's Lombre used it to evolve into {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}}. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolved via an Evolution stone onscreen.

{{an|Professor Oak}} gave a Water Stone to a wild Lombre in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'' so that it could evolve into {{p|Ludicolo}}.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', [[Ursula]] used a Water Stone and a Fire Stone during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] to evolve her two Eevee, evolving them into a Vaporeon and Flareon, respectively.

''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' featured the Water Stone along with all of the other Evolution stones available as of [[Generation V]].

A full set of Evolution stones was seen on display in a stone shop in [[Geosenge Town]] in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''.

In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', [[Chloe]] received a Water Stone from [[Kiley]]. She asked her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} if she wanted to use it, but she decided not to evolve yet. Another Water Stone appeared in a flashback in the same episode, used by Kiley to evolve his own Eevee into Vaporeon.

==In the manga==
[[File:Evolutionary stones EToP.png|thumb|250px|Evolution stones in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
The focus of the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' was Evolution stones. {{an|Misty}} hoped to buy a Water Stone for her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} in [[Stone Town]], a town on [[Dream Island]] where all the Evolution stones in the Pokémon world come from. However, she couldn't afford one, remarking that an inexpensive one might make the evolution go bad.

Misty was later given a Water Stone by [[Mikey]], who was being pressured to join the "[[Knights of the E Stone]]", a club which requires members to own a Pokémon evolved by an Evolution stone.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Evolution stones Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Evolution stones in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]] was able to evolve into a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of a Water Stone when they were thrown into the water in {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor, although the cause of his evolution wasn't revealed until the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] told {{adv|Yellow}} about a legend of an underwater dome at the bottom of Vermilion Harbor, housing a set of Evolution stones which, unlike normal stones, did not disappear after making a Pokémon evolve, allowing them to be used repeatedly. The cause of {{adv|Red}}'s Poliwhirl's evolution had been one of these said stones, proving the legend to be true. Yellow was later led to the dome by a wild {{p|Tentacruel}}, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that {{adv|Giovanni}} had given them to Red so he could freely evolve and [[devolution|devolve]] his [[Vee|Eevee]].

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS189|Mowing Down Ludicolo]]'', [[Shelly]] used a Water Stone to evolve her {{p|Lombre}} into a {{p|Ludicolo}} while battling against {{adv|Sapphire}}'s Pokémon.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
In ''[[PS519|Triple Threat]]'', [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] used a Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, and Water Stone to evolve their {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, and {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} into {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}, respectively, during their battle against the [[Shadow Triad]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Through {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Evolution stone bypassing|a glitch}} in the [[Generation I]] games, Pokémon that would normally require an [[Evolution stone]] to evolve can be evolved without it, provided that the Pokémon levels up in the battle and the player has sent out a specific Pokémon in the same battle. In the case of the Water Stone, this Pokémon is {{p|Onix}}.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], if the player tries to give their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} {{p|Eevee}} a Water Stone, they will not accept it, and therefore, will not evolve. The same thing will happen if the player attempts to give them a [[Fire Stone]] or a [[Thunder Stone]].

[[File:Fire Stone BW135.png|thumb|250px|A Fire Stone in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Fire Stone debuted in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]]. Two of the four Eevee brothers offered a Fire Stone and [[Thunder Stone]] to {{an|Brock}} and {{Ash}} to evolve their {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, respectively, though both refused.

A set of Fire Stones played an important role in ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones!]]'', when [[Ramona]] and [[Keegan]] were tasked with delivering them to a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon competition that planned to use them as prizes for the competitors. During the delivery, {{TRT}} stole the stones, and Ash and {{ashfr}} had to help retrieve them.

In ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', after {{an|Steven Stone}} sent Team Rocket blasting off with his {{p|Aggron}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}, his {{p|Aron}} unearthed a Fire Stone.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', [[Ursula]] used a Fire Stone and a Water Stone during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] to evolve her two Eevee, evolving them into a Flareon and Vaporeon, respectively.

''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'' featured the Fire Stone along with all of the other Evolution stones available as of [[Generation V]].

A full set of Evolution stones was seen on display in a stone shop in [[Geosenge Town]] in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]''.

A Fire Stone was seen in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]'', when members of the [[Eevee Evolution Lab]] tried to get an {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} to evolve, only for it to not work.

In ''[[JN098|Out of Their Elements!]]'', [[Harmony]] and {{OBP|Billy|JN098}} attempted to use a Fire Stone and a Thunder Stone, respectively, to evolve their Eevee partners. However, they accidentally dropped the stones onto the wrong Eevee, causing them to evolve into opposite forms than what they had intended. They attempted to correct the mistake with the spare stones they had, but the stones had no effect on the already-evolved Pokémon. At the end of the episode, they gave their spare stones to [[Chloe]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Evolutionary stones EToP.png|thumb|250px|Evolution stones in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
The focus of the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'' was Evolution stones, including the Fire Stone.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Evolution stones Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Evolution stones in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] told {{adv|Yellow}} about a legend of an underwater dome at the bottom of {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor, housing a set of Evolution stones which, unlike normal stones, did not disappear after making a Pokémon evolve, allowing them to be used repeatedly. The cause of [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]]'s evolution had been one of these said stones, proving the legend to be true. Yellow was later led to the dome by a wild {{p|Tentacruel}}, finding a Leaf Stone in it, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones were missing. Later, it was revealed that {{adv|Giovanni}} had given them to {{adv|Red}} so he could freely evolve and [[devolution|devolve]] his [[Vee|Eevee]].

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
In ''[[PS519|Triple Threat]]'', [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] used a Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, and Water Stone to evolve their {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, and {{TP|Cress|Panpour}} into {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}, respectively, during their battle against the [[Shadow Triad]].

===Pokémon Battle Frontier===
A Fire Stone appeared in ''[[CBF6|Final Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden]]'', where {{OBP|Enta|CBF}} received one from [[Rald]]. He used it on his {{p|Vulpix}}, evolving it into {{TP|Enta|Ninetales}}.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:ArcanineHeartGoldSoulSilver1.jpg|thumb|200px|HeartGold & SoulSilver Arcanine]]
A Fire Stone is featured in the artwork of several TCG cards from the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series: {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Arcanine|1}}, {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}, and {{TCG|Undaunted}} {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Flareon|26}}, as well as the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} prints of Ninetales and Flareon.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Through {{DL|List of battle glitches in Generation I|Evolution stone bypassing|a glitch}} in the [[Generation I]] games, Pokémon that would normally require an [[Evolution stone]] to evolve can be evolved without it, provided that the Pokémon levels up in the battle and the player has sent out a specific Pokémon in the same battle. In the case of the Fire Stone, this Pokémon is [[Missingno.]] (index number 32).
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], if the player tries to give their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} {{p|Eevee}} a Fire Stone, they will not accept it, and therefore, will not evolve. The same thing will happen if the player attempts to give them a [[Thunder Stone]] or a [[Water Stone]].

[[File:PE Catching Pokémon.png|300px|thumb|{{ga|Chase}} and his partner {{p|Pikachu}} catching Pokémon with {{ga|Elaine}} and her partner {{p|Eevee}}]]
'''Partner Pokémon'''<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|相棒|あいぼう}}ポケモン'''<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pika_vee/story/180713_08.html 大切な相棒「ピカチュウ」と「イーブイ」｜『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! ピカチュウ』『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! イーブイ』公式サイト]</ref> ''Partner Pokémon'') refers to the special {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} the player [[First partner Pokémon|starts]] with in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==In the core series games==
As the names of the two titles imply, players of Let's Go, Pikachu! receive a Pikachu as their partner, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! receive Eevee. While the player can capture and train other Pikachu and Eevee in both games, the partner Pokémon have various special differences from their typical variants.

<div style="margin:auto; text-align:center; display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: flex-start; justify-content:center; gap: 2px;">
<div class="roundy" style="background:#{{Let's Go Pikachu color light}}">Partner {{pcolor|Pikachu|000}}<br>[[File:0025Pikachu-Partner.png|x150px]]<br>{{typecolor|Electric}}</div>
<div class="roundy" style="background:#{{Let's Go Eevee color light}}">Partner {{pcolor|Eevee|000}}<br>[[File:0133Eevee-Partner.png|x150px]]<br>{{typecolor|Normal}}</div>
</div>

===Differences from regular Pikachu and Eevee===
[[File:0133Eevee-Female PE.png|thumb|150px|A female partner Eevee, seen with her unique tail pattern]]
* Normally, Eevee has a gender ratio of [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 7 ♂|7 males to every 1 female]], but as the gender for the Partner Pokémon is generated independently from the rest of its data, the Partner Eevee appears to share a 1:1 gender ratio with the Partner Pikachu.
* The partner Pikachu is constantly seen riding on the player's shoulder while Eevee is constantly seen riding on top of the player's head, similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', even when not in the active [[party]].
** They can also wag their tail to indicate that a hidden item is located in front of the player.
* Female partner Eevee have a special heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail. This trait was later introduced to all female {{p|Eevee}} in [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Pokémon GO]] as a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* The partner Pokémon have higher [[base stats]] and are fixed to have an all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s in every stat, but they cannot be {{Shiny}}. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game.
* Similar to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', they prefer to be out of their {{i|Poké Ball}} and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
* The [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] partner the player starts with cannot be [[trade]]d, [[Released Pokémon|release]]d, or [[transfer]]red to [[Pokémon HOME]].
* They have [[#Exclusive moves|special moves]] that they can learn via [[Move Tutor]], and can activate special "partner powers" in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]], when the partner appears waving a Joy-Con above the "Fight" button. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the [[stat]]s of the current Pokémon.
* The partner Pokémon can perform [[Secret Technique]]s outside of battle.
* The player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]] in previous games, which can be done by pressing "<sc>Play with <Partner's Nickname></sc>" on the [[menu]]. They can also be dressed in different outfits, including sets made to match the player, and be given different hairstyles when petted in certain ways in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s handheld mode.
* The Partner Eevee has a larger model than its regular counterpart, whereas the Partner Pikachu has a smaller model than its regular counterpart.
* Partner Eevee's coat is a lighter shade of brown compared to its regular counterpart and it has purple irises rather than brown.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], both the partner Pikachu and partner Eevee appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}. Starting in version 1.2.0 of the game, players of Let's Go, Pikachu will receive the partner Pikachu spirit upon booting the game, while players of Let's Go, Eevee will receive the partner Eevee spirit. Both spirits can also be found on the {{sbw|Spirit Board}}. Both spirits are neutral-aligned ace (3★) spirits. Pikachu grants a boost to the user's attack and speed at 0% {{sbw|damage}}, while Eevee grants an significant temporary stat boost after eating {{sbw|food}}. Unlike most [[Pokémon]] series spirits, Partner Pikachu and Eevee use their boxart artwork from their titular games.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Pikachu Valley Pikachu.png|left|thumb|250px|Several Pikachu with hairstyles similar to the ones found in Let's Go, Pikachu!]]
[[File:Sandy and Chloe Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Two Eevee with similarities to the ones found in Let's Go, Eevee!]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
{{main|Sandy}}
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part on the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', elements of {{LGPE}} can be seen as early as ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where [[Risa]] obtains an Eevee as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

Though precursors of this feature were first seen in the [[original series]] with [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]], Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', around the time of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikala]].

A male Eevee with hair covering his eyes appeared in the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] series of shorts. He made his main series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}}, received the [[nickname]] Sandy, and was given a haircut.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
{{main|Chloe's Eevee}}
The first Eevee with the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female tail pattern]] introduced with partner Eevee appeared in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''. She was eventually caught by [[Chloe]]. Like partner Eevee, Chloe's Eevee is, for some reason, unable to evolve.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===

==Trivia==
* The partner Eevee has the most [[signature move]]s of all Pokémon, at a total of nine.
* If the player annoys the partner Pikachu or Eevee enough times in the "Play with (Nickname)" screen, Pikachu or Eevee will attack the player and force them back out to the menu. The partner Pikachu will let out a thundershock, and the partner Eevee will tackle the screen.
* Despite having different models and menu sprites in-game, neither the partner Pikachu nor the partner Eevee are registered in the [[Pokédex]] as unique forms. Similarly, they appear as normal Pikachu and Eevee when viewed in [[Pokémon HOME]].
*"My Partner Eevee" and "My Partner Pikachu" are also the respective names of a toy Eevee and a toy Pikachu that were distributed as promotional merchandise for Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.

Peterchong: /* Extreme Speed Pikachu */

{{incomplete|needs=variants from ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', images from Snap, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Sleeping Pikachu|Onemuri (Sleeping) Pikachu]]; [[SM091]] variants; other TCG Pikachu, including Poncho, Pretend Boss, Mario and Luigi}}
There are many '''{{p|Pikachu}} {{pkmn2|variant}}s''' found in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime|animated series}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{Trading Card Game}}. The following are the main variants, excluding {{Shiny}} forms and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

==Surfing Pikachu==
{{main|Surfing Pikachu}}
'''Surfing Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''なみのりピカチュウ''' ''Surfing Pikachu'') is a recurring Pikachu variant, commonly depicted with a surfboard, originating from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. These Pikachu know the move {{m|Surf}}, which, prior to [[Generation VIII]], have only been given out in special circumstances, such as {{pkmn2|event}}s.
[[File:SurfingPikachuWizardsPromo28.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Surfing Pikachu in its original appearance as a {{Trading Card Game}} card]]

==Flying Pikachu==
{{main|Flying Pikachu}}
'''Flying Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''そらをとぶピカチュウ''' ''Flying Pikachu'') is another recurring Pikachu variant from the Trading Card Game, commonly depicted with balloons tied to it. These Pikachu know the move {{m|Fly}}, an event-exclusive move to the Pikachu family.
[[File:FlyingPikachuWizardsPromo25.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Flying Pikachu as depicted in the TCG]]

==Cosplay Pikachu==
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player is able to obtain a unique female Pikachu called Cosplay Pikachu, which has a black, heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This event occurs after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]].

This particular Pikachu is able to be dressed up in five different costumes corresponding to each kind of Contest stat ({{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness) and learns exclusive moves which are linked to these stats. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the rightmost back room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}, meaning it cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. It also cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Raichu}}. If Cosplay Pikachu's only known move is its costume's exclusive move and the costume is removed, then it will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Peterchong: /* Extreme Speed Pikachu */

{{incomplete|needs=variants from ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', images from Snap, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Sleeping Pikachu|Onemuri (Sleeping) Pikachu]]; [[SM091]] variants; other TCG Pikachu, including Poncho, Pretend Boss, Mario and Luigi}}
There are many '''{{p|Pikachu}} {{pkmn2|variant}}s''' found in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime|animated series}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{Trading Card Game}}. The following are the main variants, excluding {{Shiny}} forms and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

==Surfing Pikachu==
{{main|Surfing Pikachu}}
'''Surfing Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''なみのりピカチュウ''' ''Surfing Pikachu'') is a recurring Pikachu variant, commonly depicted with a surfboard, originating from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. These Pikachu know the move {{m|Surf}}, which, prior to [[Generation VIII]], have only been given out in special circumstances, such as {{pkmn2|event}}s.
[[File:SurfingPikachuWizardsPromo28.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Surfing Pikachu in its original appearance as a {{Trading Card Game}} card]]

==Flying Pikachu==
{{main|Flying Pikachu}}
'''Flying Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''そらをとぶピカチュウ''' ''Flying Pikachu'') is another recurring Pikachu variant from the Trading Card Game, commonly depicted with balloons tied to it. These Pikachu know the move {{m|Fly}}, an event-exclusive move to the Pikachu family.
[[File:FlyingPikachuWizardsPromo25.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Flying Pikachu as depicted in the TCG]]

==Cosplay Pikachu==
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player is able to obtain a unique female Pikachu called Cosplay Pikachu, which has a black, heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This event occurs after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]].

This particular Pikachu is able to be dressed up in five different costumes corresponding to each kind of Contest stat ({{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness) and learns exclusive moves which are linked to these stats. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the rightmost back room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}, meaning it cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. It also cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Raichu}}. If Cosplay Pikachu's only known move is its costume's exclusive move and the costume is removed, then it will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Peterchong: /* Core series games */ Added Extreme Speed Pikachu

{{incomplete|needs=variants from ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', images from Snap, [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Sleeping Pikachu|Onemuri (Sleeping) Pikachu]]; [[SM091]] variants; other TCG Pikachu, including Poncho, Pretend Boss, Mario and Luigi}}
There are many '''{{p|Pikachu}} {{pkmn2|variant}}s''' found in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime|animated series}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{Trading Card Game}}. The following are the main variants, excluding {{Shiny}} forms and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

==Surfing Pikachu==
{{main|Surfing Pikachu}}
'''Surfing Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''なみのりピカチュウ''' ''Surfing Pikachu'') is a recurring Pikachu variant, commonly depicted with a surfboard, originating from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. These Pikachu know the move {{m|Surf}}, which, prior to [[Generation VIII]], have only been given out in special circumstances, such as {{pkmn2|event}}s.
[[File:SurfingPikachuWizardsPromo28.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Surfing Pikachu in its original appearance as a {{Trading Card Game}} card]]

==Flying Pikachu==
{{main|Flying Pikachu}}
'''Flying Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''そらをとぶピカチュウ''' ''Flying Pikachu'') is another recurring Pikachu variant from the Trading Card Game, commonly depicted with balloons tied to it. These Pikachu know the move {{m|Fly}}, an event-exclusive move to the Pikachu family.
[[File:FlyingPikachuWizardsPromo25.jpg|thumb|center|200px|Flying Pikachu as depicted in the TCG]]

==Cosplay Pikachu==
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player is able to obtain a unique female Pikachu called Cosplay Pikachu, which has a black, heart-shaped mark near the end of its tail. This event occurs after the player takes part in their first [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]].

This particular Pikachu is able to be dressed up in five different costumes corresponding to each kind of Contest stat ({{OBP|Cool|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition}}ness, {{OBP|Clever|condition}}ness, and {{OBP|Tough|condition}}ness) and learns exclusive moves which are linked to these stats. Cosplay Pikachu can switch costumes anytime by going to any [[Contest Hall]] in the [[Hoenn]] region and talking to the {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} in the rightmost back room. This Pokémon Breeder can also remove the costume.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu is in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}}, meaning it cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. It also cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Raichu}}. If Cosplay Pikachu's only known move is its costume's exclusive move and the costume is removed, then it will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

====Snow Pikachu====
{{Bulbanews|Game Freak moving to the Arctic}}
As an {{wp|April Fools' Day}} joke in [[April Fools' Day 2008|2008]], [[Game Freak]] announced that it would move to the {{wp|Arctic}} to help save snow Pikachu from {{wp|polar bear}}s. Game Freak's website was also changed to incorporate an image of a snow Pikachu, which was a {{wp|snow sculpture}}.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] made a snowman in the shape of itself on the cover of [[Pikachu's Winter Vacation Soundtrack]].

A snow Pikachu appears in {{g|Channel}}, this same design would then be used in the [[Pokémon Dream World]], being featured as a piece of [[Décor]] in the Winter Catalogue 2011. During the Holiday 2014 promotion on the online {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store|Pokémon Center store}}, a Snow Pikachu was one of the special plushes.

The Pikachu balloon in the 2015 {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}} features a scarfed Pikachu holding a snow Pikachu in a {{wp|Santa hat}}.

[[Snorunt (Generations RC7)|One Trading Card]] features a Snow Pikachu, being built by two {{p|Snorunt}}.

'''Partner Pokémon'''<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|相棒|あいぼう}}ポケモン'''<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pika_vee/story/180713_08.html 大切な相棒「ピカチュウ」と「イーブイ」｜『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! ピカチュウ』『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! イーブイ』公式サイト]</ref> ''Partner Pokémon'') refers to the special {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} the player [[First partner Pokémon|starts]] with in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==In the core series games==
As the names of the two titles imply, players of Let's Go, Pikachu! receive a Pikachu as their partner, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! receive Eevee. While the player can capture and train other Pikachu and Eevee in both games, the partner Pokémon have various special differences from their typical variants.

<div style="margin:auto; text-align:center; display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: flex-start; justify-content:center; gap: 2px;">
<div class="roundy" style="background:#{{Let's Go Pikachu color light}}">Partner {{pcolor|Pikachu|000}}<br>[[File:0025Pikachu-Partner.png|x150px]]<br>{{typecolor|Electric}}</div>

</div>

===Differences from regular Pikachu and Eevee===
[[File:0133Eevee-Female PE.png|thumb|150px|A female partner Eevee, seen with her unique tail pattern]]
* Normally, Eevee has a gender ratio of [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 7 ♂|7 males to every 1 female]], but as the gender for the Partner Pokémon is generated independently from the rest of its data, the Partner Eevee appears to share a 1:1 gender ratio with the Partner Pikachu.
* The partner Pikachu is constantly seen riding on the player's shoulder while Eevee is constantly seen riding on top of the player's head, similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', even when not in the active [[party]].
** They can also wag their tail to indicate that a hidden item is located in front of the player.
* Female partner Eevee have a special heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail. This trait was later introduced to all female {{p|Eevee}} in [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Pokémon GO]] as a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* The partner Pokémon have higher [[base stats]] and are fixed to have an all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s in every stat, but they cannot be {{Shiny}}. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game.
* Similar to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', they prefer to be out of their {{i|Poké Ball}} and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
* The [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] partner the player starts with cannot be [[trade]]d, [[Released Pokémon|release]]d, or [[transfer]]red to [[Pokémon HOME]].
* They have [[#Exclusive moves|special moves]] that they can learn via [[Move Tutor]], and can activate special "partner powers" in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]], when the partner appears waving a Joy-Con above the "Fight" button. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the [[stat]]s of the current Pokémon.
* The partner Pokémon can perform [[Secret Technique]]s outside of battle.
* The player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]] in previous games, which can be done by pressing "<sc>Play with <Partner's Nickname></sc>" on the [[menu]]. They can also be dressed in different outfits, including sets made to match the player, and be given different hairstyles when petted in certain ways in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s handheld mode.
* The Partner Eevee has a larger model than its regular counterpart, whereas the Partner Pikachu has a smaller model than its regular counterpart.
* Partner Eevee's coat is a lighter shade of brown compared to its regular counterpart and it has purple irises rather than brown.

Pikachu grants a boost to the user's attack and speed at 0% {{sbw|damage}}, while Eevee grants an significant temporary stat boost after eating {{sbw|food}}. Unlike most [[Pokémon]] series spirits, Partner Pikachu and Eevee use their boxart artwork from their titular games.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Pikachu Valley Pikachu.png|left|thumb|250px|Several Pikachu with hairstyles similar to the ones found in Let's Go, Pikachu!]]
[[File:Sandy and Chloe Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Two Eevee with similarities to the ones found in Let's Go, Eevee!]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
{{main|Sandy}}
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part on the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', elements of {{LGPE}} can be seen as early as ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where [[Risa]] obtains an Eevee as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

Though precursors of this feature were first seen in the [[original series]] with [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]], Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', around the time of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikala]].

A male Eevee with hair covering his eyes appeared in the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] series of shorts. He made his main series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}}, received the [[nickname]] Sandy, and was given a haircut.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
{{main|Chloe's Eevee}}
The first Eevee with the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female tail pattern]] introduced with partner Eevee appeared in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''. She was eventually caught by [[Chloe]]. Like partner Eevee, Chloe's Eevee is, for some reason, unable to evolve.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===

==Trivia==
* The partner Eevee has the most [[signature move]]s of all Pokémon, at a total of nine.
* If the player annoys the partner Pikachu or Eevee enough times in the "Play with (Nickname)" screen, Pikachu or Eevee will attack the player and force them back out to the menu. The partner Pikachu will let out a thundershock, and the partner Eevee will tackle the screen.
* Despite having different models and menu sprites in-game, neither the partner Pikachu nor the partner Eevee are registered in the [[Pokédex]] as unique forms. Similarly, they appear as normal Pikachu and Eevee when viewed in [[Pokémon HOME]].
*"My Partner Eevee" and "My Partner Pikachu" are also the respective names of a toy Eevee and a toy Pikachu that were distributed as promotional merchandise for Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.

* The partner Pokémon have higher [[base stats]] and are fixed to have an all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s in every stat, but they cannot be {{Shiny}}. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game.
* Similar to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', they prefer to be out of their {{i|Poké Ball}} and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
* The [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] partner the player starts with cannot be [[trade]]d, [[Released Pokémon|release]]d, or [[transfer]]red to [[Pokémon HOME]].
* They have [[#Exclusive moves|special moves]] that they can learn via [[Move Tutor]], and can activate special "partner powers" in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]], when the partner appears waving a Joy-Con above the "Fight" button. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the [[stat]]s of the current Pokémon.
* The partner Pokémon can perform [[Secret Technique]]s outside of battle.
* The player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]] in previous games, which can be done by pressing "<sc>Play with <Partner's Nickname></sc>" on the [[menu]]. They can also be dressed in different outfits, including sets made to match the player, and be given different hairstyles when petted in certain ways in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s handheld mode.
* The Partner Eevee has a larger model than its regular counterpart, whereas the Partner Pikachu has a smaller model than its regular counterpart.
* Partner Eevee's coat is a lighter shade of brown compared to its regular counterpart and it has purple irises rather than brown.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], both the partner Pikachu and partner Eevee appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}. Starting in version 1.2.0 of the game, players of Let's Go, Pikachu will receive the partner Pikachu spirit upon booting the game, while players of Let's Go, Eevee will receive the partner Eevee spirit. Both spirits can also be found on the {{sbw|Spirit Board}}. Both spirits are neutral-aligned ace (3★) spirits. Pikachu grants a boost to the user's attack and speed at 0% {{sbw|damage}}, while Eevee grants an significant temporary stat boost after eating {{sbw|food}}. Unlike most [[Pokémon]] series spirits, Partner Pikachu and Eevee use their boxart artwork from their titular games.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Pikachu Valley Pikachu.png|left|thumb|250px|Several Pikachu with hairstyles similar to the ones found in Let's Go, Pikachu!]]
[[File:Sandy and Chloe Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Two Eevee with similarities to the ones found in Let's Go, Eevee!]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
{{main|Sandy}}
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part on the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', elements of {{LGPE}} can be seen as early as ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where [[Risa]] obtains an Eevee as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

Though precursors of this feature were first seen in the [[original series]] with [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]], Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', around the time of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikala]].

A male Eevee with hair covering his eyes appeared in the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] series of shorts. He made his main series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}}, received the [[nickname]] Sandy, and was given a haircut.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
{{main|Chloe's Eevee}}
The first Eevee with the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female tail pattern]] introduced with partner Eevee appeared in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''. She was eventually caught by [[Chloe]]. Like partner Eevee, Chloe's Eevee is, for some reason, unable to evolve.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===
[[File:Elaine Pikachu Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Elaine's partner Pikachu in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
{{ga|Elaine}}'s partner Pikachu appeared in ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]''.

==Trivia==
* The partner Eevee has the most [[signature move]]s of all Pokémon, at a total of nine.
* If the player annoys the partner Pikachu or Eevee enough times in the "Play with (Nickname)" screen, Pikachu or Eevee will attack the player and force them back out to the menu. The partner Pikachu will let out a thundershock, and the partner Eevee will tackle the screen.
* Despite having different models and menu sprites in-game, neither the partner Pikachu nor the partner Eevee are registered in the [[Pokédex]] as unique forms. Similarly, they appear as normal Pikachu and Eevee when viewed in [[Pokémon HOME]].
*"My Partner Eevee" and "My Partner Pikachu" are also the respective names of a toy Eevee and a toy Pikachu that were distributed as promotional merchandise for Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.

[[File:Hitoshi Ariga 2023 vtuber Avatar.png|250px|thumb|Ariga's VTuber character in 2023]]
'''Hitoshi Ariga''' (Japanese: '''有賀ヒトシ''' ''Ariga Hitoshi''; born August 23, 1972) is a professional artist who primarily illustrates manga and picture books, and has assumed the position of graphic designer for several Japanese titles in the game industry. He first began providing illustrations for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in 2011, though has been a fan of the franchise for many years. His main passion, however, lies with the ''{{wp|Mega Man}}'' franchise, known as ''Rockman'' in Japan, where he has illustrated numerous manga and artwork for affiliated products since the mid-90s. He likes to engage the community when he has the opportunity, appearing at exhibitions, and maintaining an online presence across several sites.

[[Ken Sugimori]] recognized Ariga's design work and invited him to work on {{g|X and Y}}.<ref name=Kalos>[https://www.deviantart.com/hitoshiariga/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on DeviantArt] (posted on November 14, 2013)</ref> When designing {{p|Amaura}} and {{p|Aurorus}}, Ariga considered that a sauropod would pair well with {{p|Tyrunt}} and {{p|Tyrantrum}}, suggesting that the latter may have been considered first. Previous Pokémon such as {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Meganium}}, and {{p|Deino}} already existed with a similar body shape, so Ariga chose to base the new family off the Amargasaurus, with the large fins on its neck.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230410130327/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/458627994395762689</ref> In creating the artwork for the [[Villainous team|villainous organization]] [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] themes, Ariga pointed out the special attention given to how it looped seamlessly as the user navigated the 3DS menu.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230410113110/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1640157094321217536</ref> In the same thread, he also revealed that there were plans to create a 3DS theme for [[Team Flare]], but they fell through as a result of the series moving from the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] to the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230410112857/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1641046957325193217</ref> Ariga's first spot as the lead character designer on the series was with [[Pokémon UNITE]], though his affinity for paleontology led him to create a new design for {{p|Pikachu}} for the real-life Pokémon Fossil Museum, where he was reached out to by the organizers of the museum themselves.

Although he began officially working on the series in 2011 with the {{PTCG}}, his Pokémon fan art on DeviantArt dates back to 2010. From as early as 2011, Ariga would upload online battles against other players to his YouTube channel, which was something that he continued with well after the release of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.<ref>https://youtu.be/vaOcH66Ofj0</ref> Though they were uploaded to what was originally his main YouTube channel, Ariga has recently shifted focus to regularly live streaming art with his VTuber avatar.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/@ArigaHitoshi/featured</ref>

Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)

[[File:PE Catching Pokémon.png|300px|thumb|{{ga|Chase}} and his partner {{p|Pikachu}} catching Pokémon with {{ga|Elaine}} and her partner {{p|Eevee}}]]
'''Partner Pokémon'''<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|相棒|あいぼう}}ポケモン'''<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pika_vee/story/180713_08.html 大切な相棒「ピカチュウ」と「イーブイ」｜『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! ピカチュウ』『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! イーブイ』公式サイト]</ref> ''Partner Pokémon'') refers to the special {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} the player [[First partner Pokémon|starts]] with in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==In the core series games==
As the names of the two titles imply, players of Let's Go, Pikachu! receive a Pikachu as their partner, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! receive Eevee. While the player can capture and train other Pikachu and Eevee in both games, the partner Pokémon have various special differences from their typical variants.

<div style="margin:auto; text-align:center; display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: flex-start; justify-content:center; gap: 2px;">
<div class="roundy" style="background:#{{Let's Go Pikachu color light}}">Partner {{pcolor|Pikachu|000}}<br>[[File:0025Pikachu-Partner.png|x150px]]<br>{{typecolor|Electric}}</div>
<div class="roundy" style="background:#{{Let's Go Eevee color light}}">Partner {{pcolor|Eevee|000}}<br>[[File:0133Eevee-Partner.png|x150px]]<br>{{typecolor|Normal}}</div>
</div>

===Differences from regular Pikachu and Eevee===
[[File:0133Eevee-Female PE.png|thumb|150px|A female partner Eevee, seen with her unique tail pattern]]
* Normally, Eevee has a gender ratio of [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 7 ♂|7 males to every 1 female]], but as the gender for the Partner Pokémon is generated independently from the rest of its data, the Partner Eevee appears to share a 1:1 gender ratio with the Partner Pikachu.
* The partner Pikachu is constantly seen riding on the player's shoulder while Eevee is constantly seen riding on top of the player's head, similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', even when not in the active [[party]].
** They can also wag their tail to indicate that a hidden item is located in front of the player.
* Female partner Eevee have a special heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail. This trait was later introduced to all female {{p|Eevee}} in [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Pokémon GO]] as a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* The partner Pokémon have higher [[base stats]] and are fixed to have an all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s in every stat, but they cannot be {{Shiny}}. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game.
* Similar to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', they prefer to be out of their {{i|Poké Ball}} and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
* The [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] partner the player starts with cannot be [[trade]]d, [[Released Pokémon|release]]d, or [[transfer]]red to [[Pokémon HOME]].
* They have [[#Exclusive moves|special moves]] that they can learn via [[Move Tutor]], and can activate special "partner powers" in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]], when the partner appears waving a Joy-Con above the "Fight" button. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the [[stat]]s of the current Pokémon.
* The partner Pokémon can perform [[Secret Technique]]s outside of battle.
* The player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]] in previous games, which can be done by pressing "<sc>Play with <Partner's Nickname></sc>" on the [[menu]]. They can also be dressed in different outfits, including sets made to match the player, and be given different hairstyles when petted in certain ways in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s handheld mode.
* The Partner Eevee has a larger model than its regular counterpart, whereas the Partner Pikachu has a smaller model than its regular counterpart.
* Partner Eevee's coat is a lighter shade of brown compared to its regular counterpart and it has purple irises rather than brown.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], both the partner Pikachu and partner Eevee appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}. Starting in version 1.2.0 of the game, players of Let's Go, Pikachu will receive the partner Pikachu spirit upon booting the game, while players of Let's Go, Eevee will receive the partner Eevee spirit. Both spirits can also be found on the {{sbw|Spirit Board}}. Both spirits are neutral-aligned ace (3★) spirits. Pikachu grants a boost to the user's attack and speed at 0% {{sbw|damage}}, while Eevee grants an significant temporary stat boost after eating {{sbw|food}}. Unlike most [[Pokémon]] series spirits, Partner Pikachu and Eevee use their boxart artwork from their titular games.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Pikachu Valley Pikachu.png|left|thumb|250px|Several Pikachu with hairstyles similar to the ones found in Let's Go, Pikachu!]]
[[File:Sandy and Chloe Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Two Eevee with similarities to the ones found in Let's Go, Eevee!]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
{{main|Sandy}}
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part on the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', elements of {{LGPE}} can be seen as early as ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where [[Risa]] obtains an Eevee as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

Though precursors of this feature were first seen in the [[original series]] with [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]], Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', around the time of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikala]].

A male Eevee with hair covering his eyes appeared in the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] series of shorts. He made his main series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}}, received the [[nickname]] Sandy, and was given a haircut.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
{{main|Chloe's Eevee}}

==Trivia==
* The partner Eevee has the most [[signature move]]s of all Pokémon, at a total of nine.
* If the player annoys the partner Pikachu or Eevee enough times in the "Play with (Nickname)" screen, Pikachu or Eevee will attack the player and force them back out to the menu. The partner Pikachu will let out a thundershock, and the partner Eevee will tackle the screen.
* Despite having different models and menu sprites in-game, neither the partner Pikachu nor the partner Eevee are registered in the [[Pokédex]] as unique forms. Similarly, they appear as normal Pikachu and Eevee when viewed in [[Pokémon HOME]].
*"My Partner Eevee" and "My Partner Pikachu" are also the respective names of a toy Eevee and a toy Pikachu that were distributed as promotional merchandise for Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.

'''Partner Pokémon'''<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|相棒|あいぼう}}ポケモン'''<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pika_vee/story/180713_08.html 大切な相棒「ピカチュウ」と「イーブイ」｜『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! ピカチュウ』『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! イーブイ』公式サイト]</ref> ''Partner Pokémon'') refers to the special {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} the player [[First partner Pokémon|starts]] with in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==In the core series games==
As the names of the two titles imply, players of Let's Go, Pikachu! receive a Pikachu as their partner, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! receive Eevee. While the player can capture and train other Pikachu and Eevee in both games, the partner Pokémon have various special differences from their typical variants.

</div>

===Differences from regular Pikachu and Eevee===
[[File:0133Eevee-Female PE.png|thumb|150px|A female partner Eevee, seen with her unique tail pattern]]
* Normally, Eevee has a gender ratio of [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 7 ♂|7 males to every 1 female]], but as the gender for the Partner Pokémon is generated independently from the rest of its data, the Partner Eevee appears to share a 1:1 gender ratio with the Partner Pikachu.
* The partner Pikachu is constantly seen riding on the player's shoulder while Eevee is constantly seen riding on top of the player's head, similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', even when not in the active [[party]].
** They can also wag their tail to indicate that a hidden item is located in front of the player.
* Female partner Eevee have a special heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail. This trait was later introduced to all female {{p|Eevee}} in [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Pokémon GO]] as a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* The partner Pokémon have higher [[base stats]] and are fixed to have an all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s in every stat, but they cannot be {{Shiny}}. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game.
* Similar to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', they prefer to be out of their {{i|Poké Ball}} and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
* The [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] partner the player starts with cannot be [[trade]]d, [[Released Pokémon|release]]d, or [[transfer]]red to [[Pokémon HOME]].
* They have [[#Exclusive moves|special moves]] that they can learn via [[Move Tutor]], and can activate special "partner powers" in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]], when the partner appears waving a Joy-Con above the "Fight" button. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the [[stat]]s of the current Pokémon.
* The partner Pokémon can perform [[Secret Technique]]s outside of battle.
* The player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]] in previous games, which can be done by pressing "<sc>Play with <Partner's Nickname></sc>" on the [[menu]]. They can also be dressed in different outfits, including sets made to match the player, and be given different hairstyles when petted in certain ways in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s handheld mode.
* The Partner Eevee has a larger model than its regular counterpart, whereas the Partner Pikachu has a smaller model than its regular counterpart.
* Partner Eevee's coat is a lighter shade of brown compared to its regular counterpart and it has purple irises rather than brown.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
{{main|Sandy}}
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part on the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', elements of {{LGPE}} can be seen as early as ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where [[Risa]] obtains an Eevee as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

Though precursors of this feature were first seen in the [[original series]] with [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]], Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', around the time of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikala]].

A male Eevee with hair covering his eyes appeared in the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] series of shorts. He made his main series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}}, received the [[nickname]] Sandy, and was given a haircut.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
{{main|Chloe's Eevee}}
The first Eevee with the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female tail pattern]] introduced with partner Eevee appeared in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''. She was eventually caught by [[Chloe]]. Like partner Eevee, Chloe's Eevee is, for some reason, unable to evolve.

* Despite having different models and menu sprites in-game, neither the partner Pikachu nor the partner Eevee are registered in the [[Pokédex]] as unique forms. Similarly, they appear as normal Pikachu and Eevee when viewed in [[Pokémon HOME]].
*"My Partner Eevee" and "My Partner Pikachu" are also the respective names of a toy Eevee and a toy Pikachu that were distributed as promotional merchandise for Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee.

'''Partner Pokémon'''<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! | Experience the World of Pokémon]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|相棒|あいぼう}}ポケモン'''<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pika_vee/story/180713_08.html 大切な相棒「ピカチュウ」と「イーブイ」｜『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! ピカチュウ』『ポケットモンスター Let’s Go! イーブイ』公式サイト]</ref> ''Partner Pokémon'') refers to the special {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}} the player [[First partner Pokémon|starts]] with in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==In the core series games==
As the names of the two titles imply, players of Let's Go, Pikachu! receive a Pikachu as their partner, while players of Let's Go, Eevee! receive Eevee. While the player can capture and train other Pikachu and Eevee in both games, the partner Pokémon have various special differences from their typical variants.

<div class="roundy" style="background:#{{Let's Go Pikachu color light}}">Partner {{pcolor|Pikachu|000}}<br>[[File:0025Pikachu-Partner.png|x150px]]<br>{{typecolor|Electric}}</div>

</div>

===Differences from regular Pikachu and Eevee===
[[File:0133Eevee-Female PE.png|thumb|150px|A female partner Eevee, seen with her unique tail pattern]]
* Normally, Eevee has a gender ratio of [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio#1 ♀ : 7 ♂|7 males to every 1 female]], but as the gender for the Partner Pokémon is generated independently from the rest of its data, the Partner Eevee appears to share a 1:1 gender ratio with the Partner Pikachu.
* The partner Pikachu is constantly seen riding on the player's shoulder while Eevee is constantly seen riding on top of the player's head, similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', even when not in the active [[party]].
** They can also wag their tail to indicate that a hidden item is located in front of the player.
* Female partner Eevee have a special heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail. This trait was later introduced to all female {{p|Eevee}} in [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Pokémon GO]] as a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]].
* The partner Pokémon have higher [[base stats]] and are fixed to have an all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s in every stat, but they cannot be {{Shiny}}. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game.
* Similar to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]] in {{game|Yellow}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', they prefer to be out of their {{i|Poké Ball}} and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
* The [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] partner the player starts with cannot be [[trade]]d, [[Released Pokémon|release]]d, or [[transfer]]red to [[Pokémon HOME]].
* They have [[#Exclusive moves|special moves]] that they can learn via [[Move Tutor]], and can activate special "partner powers" in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]], when the partner appears waving a Joy-Con above the "Fight" button. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the [[stat]]s of the current Pokémon.
* The partner Pokémon can perform [[Secret Technique]]s outside of battle.
* The player's partner can be interacted with and fed, similar to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]] in previous games, which can be done by pressing "<sc>Play with <Partner's Nickname></sc>" on the [[menu]]. They can also be dressed in different outfits, including sets made to match the player, and be given different hairstyles when petted in certain ways in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s handheld mode.
* The Partner Eevee has a larger model than its regular counterpart, whereas the Partner Pikachu has a smaller model than its regular counterpart.
* Partner Eevee's coat is a lighter shade of brown compared to its regular counterpart and it has purple irises rather than brown.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], both the partner Pikachu and partner Eevee appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}. Starting in version 1.2.0 of the game, players of Let's Go, Pikachu will receive the partner Pikachu spirit upon booting the game, while players of Let's Go, Eevee will receive the partner Eevee spirit. Both spirits can also be found on the {{sbw|Spirit Board}}. Both spirits are neutral-aligned ace (3★) spirits. Pikachu grants a boost to the user's attack and speed at 0% {{sbw|damage}}, while Eevee grants an significant temporary stat boost after eating {{sbw|food}}. Unlike most [[Pokémon]] series spirits, Partner Pikachu and Eevee use their boxart artwork from their titular games.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Pikachu Valley Pikachu.png|left|thumb|250px|Several Pikachu with hairstyles similar to the ones found in Let's Go, Pikachu!]]
[[File:Sandy and Chloe Eevee.png|thumb|250px|Two Eevee with similarities to the ones found in Let's Go, Eevee!]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
{{main|Sandy}}
The partner Pikachu and Eevee are based in part on the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} the {{player}} receives in {{game|Yellow}}, and, by extension, [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While a direct counterpart to the partner Pokémon hasn't appeared yet in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', elements of {{LGPE}} can be seen as early as ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where [[Risa]] obtains an Eevee as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]].

Though precursors of this feature were first seen in the [[original series]] with [[Ritchie]]'s [[Sparky]], Pikachu and Eevee with different hairstyles as identifying elements began appearing in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', around the time of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s release. These hairstyles are generally more varied and may not be ones attainable in the games. The first Pikachu with such a hairstyle appeared in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', under the ownership of an [[Alola]]n {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', several other similar Pikachu appeared under the ownership of [[Pikala]].

A male Eevee with hair covering his eyes appeared in the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] series of shorts. He made his main series debut in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', where he was caught by {{an|Lana}}, received the [[nickname]] Sandy, and was given a haircut.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
{{main|Chloe's Eevee}}
The first Eevee with the [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female tail pattern]] introduced with partner Eevee appeared in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''. She was eventually caught by [[Chloe]]. Like partner Eevee, Chloe's Eevee is, for some reason, unable to evolve.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===
[[File:Elaine Pikachu Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Elaine's partner Pikachu in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
{{ga|Elaine}}'s partner Pikachu appeared in ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]''.

'''Eeveelution''' (Japanese: '''イーブイズ''' ''EVs''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180927053757/https://www.pokemon.jp/special/evs_cafe/ EVs + cafe] (archived)</ref>) usually refers to any of the eight Pokémon that [[evolution|evolve]] from {{p|Eevee}} and may be extended to include Eevee itself. It is a portmanteau of the words "'''Eevee'''" and "evo'''lution'''".

'''Veevee''' (Japanese: '''ブイブイ''' ''Veevee'') is a related term that usually refers to Eevee but has also been extended to include its evolutions.

==Terminology==
[[File:Eon Mail.png|thumb|[[Eon Mail]]<br>(Japanese: ブイブイメール ''Veevee Mail'')]]
===Eeveelution===
"'''Eeveelution'''" originally was an [[Appendix:Fan terminology|unofficial term used by fans]], but the term eventually passed into the realm of official usage first as a pun in the official guide of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]],<ref>[[Media:Pokémon Stadium 2 - Nintendo Player's Guide p120.jpg|Pokémon Stadium 2 guidebook]]</ref> and then later in the TCG [[Theme Deck]] {{TCG|Eeveelution}}, as well as in the game [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].

"Eevee-Lu-Tion" is officially used as the English title of [[PPP31|the 31st chapter]] of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In this chapter title, [[Lu]] is the name of an {{p|Eevee}}.

===Veevee===
"'''Veevee'''" (Japanese: '''ブイブイ''' ''Veevee'') was introduced with the Japanese name of the [[Eon Mail]] (Japanese: ブイブイメール ''Veevee Mail'') in [[Generation II]].

In English, this term was introduced with the move {{m|Veevee Volley}} in {{LGPE}}. {{g|Sword and Shield}} had [[Non-player character|NPCs]] in the {{gal|Battle Tower}} use the term. Notably, [[Penny]] calls her Pokémon (several evolved forms of {{p|Eevee}}) her "Veevees".

In [[Generation I]], [[List of mutually exclusive Pokémon|only one]] {{p|Eevee}} is obtainable in-game, at the [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]]. It can evolve into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}} through the use of an [[Evolution stone]].

It is also the player's first Pokémon in {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}} and {{pkmn|Conquest}}.

In Let's Go, Pikachu!, Trace will always evolve his Eevee into a {{p|Jolteon}}. The partner Eevee that the player receives in Let's Go, Eevee! cannot evolve, as it is a {{ga|Partner Pokémon}}, but instead it has higher [[stat]]s than a regular Eevee and can [[Move Tutor|be taught]] {{cat|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! tutor moves|special moves}} related to the [[type]]s of the other Eeveelutions.

Eevee with the [[Gigantamax Factor]] are incapable of evolving, but can [[Gigantamax]].

With eight, Eevee has the most [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolutions]]. As such, in case of multiple [[Methods of evolution|evolutionary conditions]] being met simultaneously, the following is true: {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} are prioritized over {{p|Sylveon}}, and Sylveon is prioritized over {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}.

Furthermore, Eevee will never evolve into:
* Any Eeveelution other than {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as they are not present in those games.
* Espeon or Umbreon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, due to the absence of a [[time|day-night cycle]].
* Leafeon or Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to the absence of the areas required for the evolution in either of the [[region]]s the games are set in.
* Sylveon in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, as it is not present in those games.

{{-}}

====Flareon====
{{main|Flareon (Pokémon)}}
{| style="float:right"

===Introduced in Generation II===
Eevee is available relatively early in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but keeps its rarity. [[Generation II]] introduced [[friendship]] and a [[time|day-night cycle]], and alongside them, two new Eeveelutions that take advantage of the new mechanics: {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}. Each of [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Kimono Girl]]s owns one of the five Eeveelutions that existed in Generation II.

Eevee cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, due to the absence of a day-night cycle. However, as both are present in the games, they can be legitimately obtained in a save file by trading an Eevee to {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolving it there, and then trading back, or by trading from {{g|Colosseum}} or {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

Espeon is one of [[Wes]]'s [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, alongside Umbreon.

One of the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} Eevee's [[signature move]]s, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, is inspired by Espeon.

Espeon is the only Eeveelution not to have a type advantage over another.
{{-}}

====Umbreon====

Umbreon is one of [[Wes]]'s [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, alongside Espeon.

One of the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} Eevee's [[signature move]]s, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, is inspired by Umbreon.

Umbreon is the only Eeveelution:
* To not have more than a 65 base Attack and Special Attack.
* To have been introduced with a unique [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]].
* To be {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|immune}} to another Eeveelution's type; in this case, Espeon.
{{-}}

===Introduced in Generation IV===
After [[Generation III|an entire generation]] with no new Eeveelutions, [[Generation IV]] added another pair of Eeveelutions, {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}}, which are obtained by leveling Eevee up in certain areas—another departure from the [[methods of evolution]] in previous generations. Since [[Generation VIII]], however, they can also be obtained through the use of an [[Evolution stone]].

Eevee cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to the absence of the areas required for its evolution in either of the [[region]]s the games are set in. However, as both are present in the games, they can be legitimately obtained in a save file by trading in from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

|}
The {{type|Grass}} Eeveelution, '''Leafeon''', evolves from Eevee when leveled up near [[Moss Rock|a large, mossy rock]] or when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]]<sup>{{gen|VIII}}+</sup>.
* In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield,}} {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, due to the lack of a Moss Rock in [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]], Eevee can evolve into Leafeon only through exposure to a Leaf Stone.
* In {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl,}} and {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, both methods can be used to evolve Eevee into Leafeon.

One of the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} Eevee's [[signature move]]s, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, is inspired by Leafeon.

Leafeon is the only Eeveelution whose base stat in Special Defense is lower than 95.

* In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield,}} {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet}}, due to the lack of an Ice Rock in [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]], Eevee can evolve into Glaceon only through exposure to an Ice Stone.
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, due to the lack of Ice Stones in general, Eevee can evolve into Glaceon only when leveled up near an Ice Rock.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, both methods can be used to evolve Eevee into Glaceon.

One of the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} Eevee's [[signature move]]s, {{m|Freezy Frost}}, is inspired by Glaceon.
{{-}}

===Introduced in Generation VI===
Once again, [[Generation V|an entire generation]] passes by before the introduction of a new Eeveelution in [[Generation VI]]: {{p|Sylveon}}. Its reveal also introduced the {{type|Fairy}} to the public.

====Sylveon====
{{main|Sylveon (Pokémon)}}

===Main series===
[[File:Ilima Eevee Extreme Evoboost Eeveelutions.png|thumb|300px|Eevee and its eight evolved forms in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In the anime, the Eeveelutions have been featured together in several episodes, most specifically in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' under the possession of the [[Eevee brothers]], which focused on the three [[Generation I]] Eeveelutions, as well as Eevee itself, and ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'' under the possession of [[Sakura]] and the [[Kimono Girl]]s, which focused on the five Eeveelutions there were as of [[Generation II]], although Sakura's Espeon was still an Eevee during this episode. The seven Eeveelutions as of [[Generation IV]] were first featured together with an Eevee as a small cameo at the beginning of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]'', it featured Eevee with all eight of its Eeveelutions as of [[Generation VI]].

In ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]'', the [[Eevee Evolution Lab]] is presented, a place specialized in researching Eevee and its evolutions. Chloe received an Eevee from the lab's lead researcher, [[Pinery]]. From there, Chloe and Eevee started to find several Trainers who have at least one of the Eeveelutions.
* In ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', Chloe and Eevee met [[Kiley]] and his {{p|Vaporeon}}. She also received a [[Water Stone]] from him.
* In ''[[JN079|Night and Day, You are the Ones!]]'', Chloe and Eevee met [[Soleil]] and her {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Espeon}}.
* In ''[[JN087|Breaking the Ice!]]'', Chloe and Eevee met [[Regina]] and her {{p|Glaceon}}, [[nickname]]d Mirche.
* In ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', Chloe and Eevee met [[Erika]] and her {{p|Leafeon}}.
* In ''[[JN098|Out of Their Elements!]]'', Chloe and Eevee met [[Harmony]] and her {{p|Jolteon}}, nicknamed Bernice, and {{OBP|Billy|JN098}} and his {{p|Flareon}}, nicknamed Toril. She also received a [[Fire Stone]] and [[Thunder Stone]] from them, respectively.
* In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', Chloe and Eevee met {{an|Serena}} and her {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Vee Eeveelutions.png|thumb|250px|Eevee and the original three Eeveelutions in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} helped [[Mikey]] to defeat [[Eevee brothers|his brothers]], each of whom possessed one of the original three Eeveelutions, in order for Mikey to join the [[Knights of the E Stone]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Vee}}
[[Vee]] was a Pokémon [[Team Rocket]] experimented on with the use of the "Eevee Bio-Engineering Scheme". This allowed Eevee to freely evolve into any of the [[Generation I]] Eeveelutions and then [[devolution|revert]] back into its original form. After some time under {{adv|Red}}'s ownership, Vee permanently evolved into an {{p|Espeon}} and lost this ability in the process.

[[Karen]]'s Umbreon, first seen in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, used to be an Eevee.

The five [[Kimono Girl]]s debuted in the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}. Each of them owns a different Eeveelution like their game counterparts. By the end of the arc, they had also acquired a Leafeon and a Glaceon.

{{adv|Y}} in the {{MangaArc|X & Y}} caught an Eevee which she nicknamed Veevee and eventually evolved into Sylveon. This makes Y the second [[Pokédex holder]] to own an Eeveelution.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
[[Bill]] in [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] has an Umbreon and Espeon, which he loaned to {{GnB|Gold}} and {{GnB|Black}} to fight against [[Team Rocket]] in [[Ecruteak City]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Mitsumi]] in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] owns a Glaceon, a Leafeon, an Espeon, and an Eevee who was held hostage by [[Cyrus]] for a brief time in order to force her to serve [[Team Galactic]].

===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===
{{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}} in [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]] owns a Leafeon that was given to her by [[Nazuna]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon appeared seen in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==In the TCG==
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], many sets featuring the Eeveelutions have been released. Commonly, all of them will be released within the same expansion set, much as {{TCG ID|Jungle|Flareon|3}}, {{TCG ID|Jungle|Jolteon|4}}, and {{TCG ID|Jungle|Vaporeon|12}} were originally released in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion.

Included with the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, also, is a {{TCG|Theme Deck}} by the name of {{TCG|Eeveelution}}, which features the original three Eeveelutions as the focus. However, the deck only includes the three [[Generation I]] Eeveelutions: whereas {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Umbreon|H30}} was released in the set, Espeon was not.

There have also been several {{TCG|deck archetype|deck archetypes}} that revolve around the Eeveelutions, mostly due to their versatility and their lack of a unanimous weakness. One of the most recent is {{TCG|Eeveelutions}}, which utilizes {{TCG|Pokémon-ex|Pokémon-ex variants}} of all five then-known Eeveelutions. The use of this archetype has been assisted by the release of a great many {{TCG|Energy card}}s that provide more than one type of Energy, such as {{TCG|Rainbow Energy}}. In {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}}, {{TCG|Glaceon}} and {{TCG|Leafeon}} were introduced to the TCG; the set also included all previous Eeveelutions. Sylveon was first introduced into the TCG in {{TCG|Furious Fists}} (if the XY Black Star Promos and the XY Trainer Kit are not counted). The most recent expansion to include the entire Eevee family is {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}.

==Trivia==
* Eevee's unique trait of evolving into different types can be traced back to a request made by [[Game Freak]] CEO [[Satoshi Tajiri]] to have a Pokémon that evolves into multiple types. Eevee itself was designed as a "blank slate" for its varied evolutions.<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''. ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-eevee-origins/ English translation] written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref>
** [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] designed Eevee, Jolteon, and Flareon. [[Atsuko Nishida]] designed all of the other Eeveelutions.<ref name=EVs/><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>
* All of [[Penny]]'s Pokémon are Eeveelutions, making her the only notable character to use a full team of Eeveelutions.
* All Eeveelutions initially evolved using a method that was introduced in their respective generations.
** Since [[Generation VIII]], alternative [[methods of evolution]] have been introduced for Leafeon and Glaceon, while Sylveon's evolution requirement of [[affection]] was replaced by [[friendship]].
* No Eeveelution is of a type that was considered [[physical move|physical]] prior to [[Generation IV]].
* No Eeveelution has HP or Special Defense as its lowest base stat.
* The Eeveelutions were featured along with Eevee in the [[Eevee Essences Collection]].

[[File:Forces of Nature-Therian Sugimori.png|thumb|350px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Therian Formes]]
The '''Forces of Nature'''<ref>''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' — ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG: {{DL|Black & White TCG Series merchandise|Forces of Nature Collection}}</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/forces-of-nature-gx-premium-collection/ Pokémon TCG: Forces of Nature GX Premium Collection]</ref> (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 [[Legendary Pokémon]] 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'''. They were originally a trio when first introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}} before the introduction of Enamorus in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The [[Reveal Glass]], introduced in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, causes them to switch between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]].

==History and 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 {{g|Dream Radar}}, they are known to inhabit their Therian Formes in the [[Interdream Zone]], changing form to suit their environment. [[Professor Burnet]] suspects they may have been born here. The name "Therian Forme" was also created by Professor Burnet.<ref>[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]: 'it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme!"</ref>

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 uncertainty on whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] theorizes that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature. Their Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas, while they assume their Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

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 [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], being {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Monta]] in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'' in order to add his data to the [[Pokédex]].

===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 {{MangaArc|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 and flew away.

==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 of the Forces of Nature cannot be traded.
* All of the Forces of Nature are weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially designed as red and blue demons, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also later redesigned to distance them further. 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 name=LavaCutInterview>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the Forces of Nature appear to be based on {{wp|kami|deities}} from Japanese mythology. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and Landorus is based on a deity of the land,<ref name=LavaCutInterview/> perhaps specifically referring to {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests. Enamorus appears to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility. The Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}:<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> Tornadus represents the {{wp|Vermillion Bird}}, Thundurus represents the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}, Landorus represents the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}, and Enamorus represents the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}.

The original trio 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).

Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}. Landorus may be based on the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who isn't directly connected to autumn, but is sometimes depicted with crops and sometimes said to bring dry winds (like Landorus' [[signature move]], {{m|Sandsear Storm}}), or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

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.

The '''Forces of Nature'''<ref>''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' — ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG: {{DL|Black & White TCG Series merchandise|Forces of Nature Collection}}</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/forces-of-nature-gx-premium-collection/ Pokémon TCG: Forces of Nature GX Premium Collection]</ref> (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 [[Legendary Pokémon]] 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'''. They were originally a trio when first introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}} before the introduction of Enamorus in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The [[Reveal Glass]], introduced in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, causes them to switch between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]].

==History and 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 {{g|Dream Radar}}, they are known to inhabit their Therian Formes in the [[Interdream Zone]], changing form to suit their environment. [[Professor Burnet]] suspects they may have been born here. The name "Therian Forme" was also created by Professor Burnet.<ref>[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]: 'it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme!"</ref>

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 uncertainty on whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] theorizes that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature. Their Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas, while they assume their Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

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 Wastes]] 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 [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], being {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Monta]] in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'' in order to add his data to the [[Pokédex]].

===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 {{MangaArc|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 and flew away.

==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 of the Forces of Nature cannot be traded.
* All of the Forces of Nature are weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially designed as red and blue demons, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also later redesigned to distance them further. 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 name=LavaCutInterview>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the Forces of Nature appear to be based on {{wp|kami|deities}} from Japanese mythology. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and Landorus is based on a deity of the land,<ref name=LavaCutInterview/> perhaps specifically referring to {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests. Enamorus appears to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility. The Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}:<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> Tornadus represents the {{wp|Vermillion Bird}}, Thundurus represents the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}, Landorus represents the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}, and Enamorus represents the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}.

The original trio 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).

Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}. Landorus may be based on the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who isn't directly connected to autumn, but is sometimes depicted with crops and sometimes said to bring dry winds (like Landorus' [[signature move]], {{m|Sandsear Storm}}), or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

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.

The '''Forces of Nature'''<ref>''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' — ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG: {{DL|Black & White TCG Series merchandise|Forces of Nature Collection}}</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/forces-of-nature-gx-premium-collection/ Pokémon TCG: Forces of Nature GX Premium Collection]</ref> (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 [[Legendary Pokémon]] 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'''. They were originally a trio when first introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}} before the introduction of Enamorus in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The [[Reveal Glass]], introduced in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, causes them to switch between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]].

==History and 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 {{g|Dream Radar}}, they are known to inhabit their Therian Formes in the [[Interdream Zone]], changing form to suit their environment. [[Professor Burnet]] suspects they may have been born here. The name "Therian Forme" was also created by Professor Burnet.<ref>[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]: 'it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme!"</ref>

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 uncertainty on whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] theorizes that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature. Their Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas, while they assume their Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

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.

Only Tornadus appeared in [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], being {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Monta]] in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'' in order to add his data to the [[Pokédex]].

===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 {{MangaArc|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 and flew away.

==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 of the Forces of Nature cannot be traded.
* All of the Forces of Nature are weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially designed as red and blue demons, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also later redesigned to distance them further. 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 name=LavaCutInterview>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the Forces of Nature appear to be based on {{wp|kami|deities}} from Japanese mythology. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and Landorus is based on a deity of the land,<ref name=LavaCutInterview/> perhaps specifically referring to {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests. Enamorus appears to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility. The Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}:<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> Tornadus represents the {{wp|Vermillion Bird}}, Thundurus represents the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}, Landorus represents the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}, and Enamorus represents the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}.

The original trio 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).

Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}. Landorus may be based on the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who isn't directly connected to autumn, but is sometimes depicted with crops and sometimes said to bring dry winds (like Landorus' move [[Sandsear Storm]]), or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

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.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will change [[type]] and [[#Form data|form]] when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, as well as the [[Pokémon of Myth]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is featured prominently in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and plays a major role in its plot.

==Biology==
[[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|Arceus's appearance in its realm]]
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration. Despite its quadruped appearance, Arceus is capable of flight.

According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1,000 arms. Arceus has been referred to as "The Original One" in myths and legends and is generally considered to be one of the strongest Pokémon. Arceus is thought to have created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, as well as the [[Pokémon of Myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the Pokémon of Myth as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. The anime has also [[JN090|shown]] that Arceus has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation, as seen with its use of Plates (including the [[Legend Plate]]) or Z-Crystals. Arceus also has the power to split up into two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its [[Dimension#Arceus' world|home dimension]] which is also implied to be its physical form, being only a piece of its whole being, while its true form is unknown and incomprehensible.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}, and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshipped the noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use, such as the [[Arc Phone]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. Arceus has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges as seen in Eternal Battle Reverie.

In the introduction sequence of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus was capable of taking a large, golden, glowing, silhouette-like form while in its homeworld, it was shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it also states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The first ancient inhabitants of the Hisui [[region]], the Celestica, worshiped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh" and "great Sinnoh". Arceus also had the title "might of Sinnoh", with the term Sinnoh later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worship it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, respectively, for Arceus.

Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}, which is capable of disintegrating the landscape around it. It is also able to use the charged-up versions of the [[Pokémon of Myth]]'s signature moves; {{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}, as shown in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Arceus has eighteen different forms, one for each [[type]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]=====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic.

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions.

''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{p|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the [[Tree of Life: Roots|Tree of Life's roots]] to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other Legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of {{OBP|Destiny Tower|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.

It sends the [[player character]] [[Time travel|back in time]] to the [[Hisui]] region and gives them the mission of seeking out all Pokémon in Hisui.

===Form data===
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games besides Legends: Arceus, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts back to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form).

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]].

==Trivia==

* Arceus was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex]] entries, Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
** Arceus and Silvally have similar {{Shiny}} colorations, which both depict them as being yellow instead of white, likely as a reference to Arceus.
* In Generation IV (its debut generation), it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat (without the use of glitches), since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{g|Global Link}} [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be obtainable in-game in the core series without an event more than once.
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the {{a|RKS System}} ability.
[[File:Company Icon RKS Laboratories.png|thumb|150px|Icon for RKS Laboratories]]
* The name of the [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}} is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: アルセウス{{ruby|製薬|せいやく}} ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has been sometimes [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|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 {{g|Masters EX}}.
** The official English website of {{g|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>
* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the {{type|Normal}}, as nothing is weak to Normal.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to make the introduction for a [[core series]] game.
* In Legends: Arceus, Arceus's summary will say it was met at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], despite being fought and obtained in the [[Hall of Origin]].
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolBrilliant Stars.png]] resembles Arceus's rings.

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|llama}}, {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}. It also resembles a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a form of religious iconography used by many religions to indicate holy, divine, or sacred figures; it has at various periods also been used in images of rulers and saints.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of αρχή ''{{wp|Arche|arkhé}}'' (Ancient Greek for ''origin'' and ''authority'') or ''{{wp|alpha}}'' and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god'') or ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (king of the gods in Greek mythology). It may also involve ''arcane'', ''aureus'' (Latin for golden), ''{{wp|arc}}'', ''arcesso'' (Latin for ''I summon''), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (the origin state of the universe in Greek mythology, often personified as the first primordial deity).

Arceus itself says that its true name has no equivalent in human language.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will change [[type]] and [[#Form data|form]] when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, as well as the [[Pokémon of Myth]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is featured prominently in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and plays a major role in its plot.

==Biology==
[[File:Arceus's form in its realm.jpg|thumb|250px|Arceus's appearance in its realm]]
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration. Despite its quadruped appearance, Arceus is capable of flight.

According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1,000 arms. Arceus has been referred to as "The Original One" in myths and legends and is generally considered to be one of the strongest Pokémon. Arceus is thought to have created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, as well as the [[Pokémon of Myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the Pokémon of Myth as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. The anime has also [[JN090|shown]] that Arceus has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation, as seen with its use of Plates (including the [[Legend Plate]]) or Z-Crystals. Arceus also has the power to split up into two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its [[Dimension#Arceus' world|home dimension]] which is also implied to be its physical form, being only a piece of its whole being, while its true form is unknown and incomprehensible.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}, and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshipped the noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use, such as the [[Arc Phone]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. Arceus has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges as seen in Eternal Battle Reverie.

In the introduction sequence of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus was capable of taking a large, golden, glowing, silhouette-like form while in its homeworld, it was shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it also states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The first ancient inhabitants of the Hisui [[region]], the Celestica, worshiped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh" and "great Sinnoh". Arceus also had the title "might of Sinnoh", with the term Sinnoh later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worship it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, respectively, for Arceus.

Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}, which is capable of disintegrating the landscape around it. It is also able to use the charged-up versions of the [[Pokémon of Myth]]'s signature moves; {{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}, as shown in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Arceus has eighteen different forms, one for each [[type]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]=====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic.

====Minor appearances====
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle.

[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions.

''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[File:Arceus LA.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Arceus}} in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}]]
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{p|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the [[Tree of Life: Roots|Tree of Life's roots]] to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other Legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of {{OBP|Destiny Tower|Super Mystery Dungeon}}.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}}: {{ga|Arceus}} is the titular character of the game. It sends the [[player character]] [[Time travel|back in time]] to the [[Hisui]] region and gives them the mission of seeking out all Pokémon in Hisui. Throughout the game, Arceus occasionally communicates with and assists the player via the [[Arc Phone]].

===Form data===
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy type as a whole.

By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.

In games besides Legends: Arceus, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts back to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off.

In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form).

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]].

==Trivia==

* Arceus was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex]] entries, Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
** Arceus and Silvally have similar {{Shiny}} colorations, which both depict them as being yellow instead of white, likely as a reference to Arceus.
* In Generation IV (its debut generation), it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat (without the use of glitches), since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling because they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the {{g|Global Link}} [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without the use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".
* Arceus is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be obtainable in-game in the core series without an event more than once.
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
** This pronunciation is also reflected in the name of the {{a|RKS System}} ability.
[[File:Company Icon RKS Laboratories.png|thumb|150px|Icon for RKS Laboratories]]
* The name of the [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}} is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}}, {{pmin|France|French}}, and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's {{pkmn|category}}, the Alpha Pokémon.
** The company {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|RKS Laboratories}} (Japanese: アルセウス{{ruby|製薬|せいやく}} ''Arceus Pharma'') in [[Galar]] has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
* Despite it being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Arceus has been sometimes [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|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 {{g|Masters EX}}.
** The official English website of {{g|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>
* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the {{type|Normal}}, as nothing is weak to Normal.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to make the introduction for a [[core series]] game.
* In Legends: Arceus, Arceus's summary will say it was met at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], despite being fought and obtained in the [[Hall of Origin]].
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Brilliant Stars}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolBrilliant Stars.png]] resembles Arceus's rings.

===Origin===
Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|llama}}, {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}. It also resembles a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a form of religious iconography used by many religions to indicate holy, divine, or sacred figures; it has at various periods also been used in images of rulers and saints.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of αρχή ''{{wp|Arche|arkhé}}'' (Ancient Greek for ''origin'' and ''authority'') or ''{{wp|alpha}}'' and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god'') or ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (king of the gods in Greek mythology). It may also involve ''arcane'', ''aureus'' (Latin for golden), ''{{wp|arc}}'', ''arcesso'' (Latin for ''I summon''), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (the origin state of the universe in Greek mythology, often personified as the first primordial deity).

Arceus itself says that its true name has no equivalent in human language.

The ninth generation began with {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} on November 18, 2022 and continued with [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC.

Generation IX was first revealed via a [[Pokémon Press Conference#2022|Pokémon Presents]] video presentation on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2022, which revealed Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

==History==
The ninth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on February 27, 2022. These games were released worldwide on November 18, 2022.

Since May 30, 2023, players have been able to store their Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet and trade with other players in [[Pokémon HOME]].

In [[Pokémon Presents]] on February 27, 2023, [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] was announced. It is a paid DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, introducing new content to the games. Its first part, [[The Teal Mask]], was released on September 13, 2023, while its second part, [[The Indigo Disk]], was released on December 14, 2023. Physical bundles of each game with its DLC were announced on September 26, 2023 and were released on November 3, 2023.

==Connectivity==
Regarding connectivity with previous generations, users of Pokémon HOME can carry forward their Pokémon from Pokémon Bank (if they downloaded it prior to the discontinuation of the {{DL|Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo eShop}} for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]), Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, Legends Arceus and GO to the application, allowing for a transfer of Pokémon that originate in core series games as early as Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II games.

The ninth generation began with {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} on November 18, 2022 and continued with [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC.

Generation IX was first revealed via a [[Pokémon Press Conference#2022|Pokémon Presents]] video presentation on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2022, which revealed Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

==History==
The ninth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on February 27, 2022. These games were released worldwide on November 18, 2022.

Since May 30, 2023, players have been able to store their Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet and trade with other players in [[Pokémon HOME]].

In [[Pokémon Presents]] on February 27, 2023, [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] was announced. It is a paid DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, introducing new content to the games. Its first part, [[The Teal Mask]], was released on September 13, 2023, while its second part, [[The Indigo Disk]], was released on December 14, 2023. Physical bundles of each game with its DLC were announced on September 26, 2023 and were released on November 3, 2023.

==Connectivity==
Regarding connectivity with previous generations, users of Pokémon HOME can carry forward their Pokémon from Pokémon Bank (if they downloaded it prior to the discontinuation of the {{DL|Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo eShop}} for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]), Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, Legends Arceus and GO to the application, allowing for a transfer of Pokémon that originate in core series games as early as Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II games.

'''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]] with some even going so far as to view them as deities.

[[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.

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}}.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

[[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.

In some cases, the term "Legendary Pokémon" was still used referring to Mythical Pokémon even after the Generation V games. For instance, in a painting of {{p|Arceus}} in the [[Lilycove Museum]] from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}'s trophies in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==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 15 notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, and {{p|Terapagos}}). 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 group, such as a [[Legendary group|duo]], a [[Legendary group|trio]], a quartet and even a quintet.

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.
** The Pokédex says about [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Terapagos|Normal Forme]] {{p|Terapagos}}: "''It’s thought that this Pokémon lived in ancient Paldea until it got caught in seismic shifts and went extinct.''"
* {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, and {{p|Terapagos}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be of either gender, which may imply the existence of at least two individuals of their species.
** In [[The Isle of Armor]], the player receives a Kubfu, while [[Mustard]] also has one. Mustard's Kubfu will evolve into an Urshifu of the form corresponding to the [[Towers of Two Fists|tower]] not chosen by the player.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, 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 {{LGPE}}, the Legendary birds are rare spawns, which allows the player to encounter and catch multiple of each in a single save file.
* In {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}}, the player can obtain two {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. Both were brought into [[Paldea]] through a time machine created by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}.
* Because {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}} are synthetic species, it was possible for humans to create multiple individuals. Three were confirmed to have been created in [[Alola]] by the [[Aether Foundation]]: one is owned by [[Gladion]], and another was given to {{ga|Elio}}/{{ga|Selene}} by Gladion. The whereabouts of the third Type: Null are unknown. A fourth individual was later created in [[Galar]] by [[Macro Cosmos]] using notes stolen from the Aether Foundation.
* {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} are capable of together creating a {{p|Cosmog}} supposedly as their unique way of breeding but it appears they're rarely seen in the same [[Pokémon universe|universe]] at the same time, making this a rare event. Three Cosmog were confirmed to exist, one stolen from [[Aether Paradise]] by [[Lillie]], nicknamed [[Nebby]], one created by Nebby and a Lunala{{sup/7|S}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|M}} found in another universe's [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|M}} and one found by an old lady in [[Freezington]] in the [[Crown Tundra]], nicknamed Fwoofy.
* 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 to do so may appear in [[Battle facility|Battle facilities]] and may be used by multiple Trainers, including the facilities' leaders. This can occur regardless of whether or not the player possesses any of these Pokémon.
** 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 in the [[Core series#Timeline|timeline]].
** For instance, [[Brandon]] has the three [[Legendary birds]],{{sup/3|E}} while these birds are also found as wild Pokémon in [[Kanto]].{{sup/3|FRLG}} Three years later, they are still found as wild Pokémon in Kanto{{sup/4|HGSS}} as well as [[Sinnoh]]{{sup/4|Pt}}.

===In the spin-off games===
====Trading Card Game series====
{{main|Legendary Cards}}
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of 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. Sometimes, some Legendary Pokémon have stubborn behavior that they didn't trust humans like Raikou.

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]] has befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{an|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|Legendary giants}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} was seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer was seen entering the same tournament with 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. {{an|Gladion}} stole a {{p|Type: Null}}, which he managed to evolve into a {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. [[Goh]] has also succeeded in catching several Legendary Pokémon, including {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}}, and a {{p|Regieleki}}. [[Project Mew]] members [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] both own an {{p|Urshifu}} each, and the former has also caught the three original Legendary giants for research purposes. {{Gary}} was seen catching a {{p|Regidrago}} as a part of a Project Mew mission, while [[Horace]] was later revealed to have caught a {{p|Virizion}} during his own simultaneous mission.

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, 71 are Legendary Pokémon ({{#expr: (71/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least three Legendary Pokémon.
{{spoilers}}

===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|{{ga|Chase}} and {{ga|Elaine}} battling {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}]]
The three Legendary birds, also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[Legendary group|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 Cave]], 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 [[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 ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'', ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', and ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', 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:PE Mewtwo scene.png |thumb|left|250px|{{ga|Elaine}} finds {{p|Mewtwo}} in the [[Cerulean Cave]]]]
{{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]] and reappeared in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''. 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. It later appears on Cero Island where Ash and Goh, the later having mistaken it for Mew due to his obsession with catching it, challenge it to a battle, where it easily won.

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]], drawn by Kenkichi Toyama<ref>https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1304929135966539777</ref>]]
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 has 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!]]'', ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]'', ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]'' and ''[[JN107|Big Brother to the Rescue!]]''. In ''Healing the Healer!'', a {{TP|Goh|Suicune}} was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Goh]], making him the first character in the anime to officially own a Legendary beast.

====Tower duo====
{{main|Tower duo}}
[[File:2020 Legendary Pokemon Gen II.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} flying over [[Ecruteak City]]]]
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|Fenghuang}} 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 traveled 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 giants====
{{main|Legendary giants}}
[[File:Brandon legendary titans Adventures.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], drawn by [[Satoshi Yamamoto]]]]
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 leader, {{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 giants, 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 giants (M08)|three Legendary giants]] 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}} flying over the sea, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
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. In ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', a Latias started following Ash and Pikachu after she was found and rescued by them. A Latios also appears in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'' as well, although he is stubborn Pokémon and distrustful towards humans.

====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}}, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
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}} coming out of a portal 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!]]''.

====Pokémon of Myth====
{{main|Pokémon of Myth}}
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|left|220px|{{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} confronting Origin {{p|Giratina}} at [[Spear Pillar]]]]
The Legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the Pokémon of Myth consist 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:Cresselia anime.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Cresselia}} in the anime]]
{{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|{{ra|Ben}} and {{ra|Summer}} battling {{p|Heatran}}, drawn by [[Kouki Saitou]]]]
{{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}} leaving [[Snowpoint Temple]] in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[Legendary giants]], 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 giants 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 giants (now including {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}) are in the party. Since the player can choose to capture only one of the two new giants, 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|{{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}} in the anime]]
{{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|{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} 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}} healing a forest, drawn by [[Yusuke Ohmura]]]]

[[File:Zygarde Complete Forme anime.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Zygarde|Zygarde Complete 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]].

====Beast killers====
[[File:Gladion Type Null.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Gladion]]'s {{p|Type: Null}} in the anime]]
[[File:Gladion_with_Silvally.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Silvally}} having its typing changed by Gladion, drawn by [[Hitoshi Ariga]]]]
{{p|Type: Null}} and its evolution {{p|Silvally}} are [[artificial Pokémon]] originally created by the [[Aether Foundation]] for the ''Beast Killer Project'' (BKP) under the direction of Aether President [[Lusamine]],<ref>{{G|Sun and Moon}}: "The [[Lillie|daughter]] who stole my {{p|Cosmog}} from me and the [[Gladion|son]] who took '''my''' Type: Null!"</ref><ref>Faba's blog from {{g|Sun and Moon}}: "My [[Lusamine|superior]]'s [[Gladion|family]] stole the results of our research and ran off."</ref> which aimed to create a Pokémon as an ''Anti-UB Fighting life-form'', Pokémon created to fight against the [[Ultra Beast]]s. Originally titled as '''beast killers''' (BK), '''Type: Full''' (Japanese: '''タイプ：フル''' ''Type: Full'') was created with data collected from [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Canalave Library]], allowing the Pokémon to change their [[type]] to any of the 18, similar to that of {{p|Arceus}}, with usage of their {{a|RKS System}}. Three models of Type: Full were created by the Aether Foundation in Generation VII. The research on the Pokémon were then stolen by an unknown source and more was created in the [[Galar]] region, being distributed by [[Macro Cosmos]].

The Beast Killer Project was deemed a failure as the subjects of the project were known to go berserk and resisted their RKS System programming. The three Type: Full were given helmets to restrict the RKS System's effects, renamed to Type: Null, and then were put into cryogenic stasis. Aether Branch Chief [[Faba]] was involved with the creation of the helmet used to suppress the RKS System and was created without the permission of Lusamine. [[Gladion]] managed to evolve a stolen Type: Null that became [[Gladion's Silvally#In the games|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|left|250px|The guardian deities at the [[Altar of the Sunne]] in the anime]]
The guardian deities are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who protect the islands of the [[Alola]] region. 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. According the Light of Alola, a book owned by [[Acerola]]'s family found in [[Malie City|Malie Library]], the tapu fought off against a beast from another [[dimension]] and lost. They were rewarded with the [[Tapunium Z]], their signature [[Z-Crystal]]. The beast then created multiple {{p|Cosmog}} for the tapu to take care of and protect as they grow up before returning to [[Ultra Space]]. The Tapu are known to be very kinda in certain situations, lending gifts, but they can also be very cruel, destroying certain locations or harming others when feeling angered. [[Grand trial]]s are often done in favor and praise of the Tapu. Multiple statues can be found throughout the region resembling the tapu, including in front of [[Pokémon League (Alola)|Alola's Pokémon League]] at [[Mount Lanakila]]. Many [[Strange Souvenir]]s in the shape of the guardians are given out to tourists and can be bought in the [[Thrifty Megamart]].

In the story of Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Lillie]] is tasked with researching Alola's ruins, as [[Nebby]], her Cosmog, finds interest in exploring them. On her way to the [[Ruins of Conflict]], Nebby gets trapped on an unsteady plank bridge being attacked by wild Pokémon, the player swings in to save Nebby. With both falling in danger, Tapu Koko saves them and gifts the player with a [[Sparkling Stone]]. All four of the guardian tapu are seen coming to aid the island in assistance with the island kahuna to fend off a swarm of [[Ultra Beast]]s that were summoned by [[Lusamine]] on [[Aether Paradise]]. Through the events that the player comes across at Poni Island, Hapu is granted the title of kahuna of Poni by Tapu Fini, after her grandfather had [[Death in the Pokémon world|passed away]]. At the end of Sun and Moon only, Lillie and the player return to Tapu Koko's shrine to give it their thanks, there, Tapu Koko initiates a battle with the player where they can defeat, catch, run or lose to the deity and will be rewarded with their own Tapunium Z.

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}}.

{{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} are {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|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]]. As a part of the research on [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and [[Ultra Beast]]s by [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]], the Aether Report in [[Aether Paradise|Secret Lab B]] suggests that Cosmog is a type of Ultra Beast that can create Ultra Wormholes when put in life-taking stress. Cosmog and its evolution line are hypothesized to have come from another [[dimension]] known as [[Ultra Space]]. The Aether Foundation plans to create a device to manipulate Ultra Wormholes using Cosmog. Ultra Wormholes can be created using gasses extracted by Cosmog,<ref>[[Lusamine]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I?"''</ref> however, more can be created in heavier doses using the Pokémon as a whole. In [[Malie City#Malie Library|Alola legend]], Cosmog were given to the [[Guardian deities]] by [[Light trio|Solgaleo and Lunala]] as heirs of the region, with the guardian tapu watching over the Cosmog until it can grow up and evolve. Cosmog evolves into Cosmoem under extreme stress, causing the Pokémon to condense into a smaller immobile form resembling a cocoon. With the help of the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s being played during certain times of the day, Cosmoem will evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala when brought to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or the [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}.

In the story of {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Lillie]], the daughter of the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], spirits a Cosmog away and nicknames it [[Nebby]], hiding it in her bag as she tries to learn more about it by visiting the [[guardian deities]] and their ruins. Throughout the game, Nebby evolves into a 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 at the [[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|MUM}} or the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|SUS}}.

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}}
{{main|Nebby}}
[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Solgaleo Lunala artwork.png|thumb|220px|{{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}} and {{p|Necrozma}}]]
The Light trio is a fan-made term used to describe the group consisting of {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} who resemble the [[Ultra Beast]]s. The Pokémon are written about in a book found in the [[Malie City|Malie Library]] known as the Light of Alola. Like their prevolutions, Cosmog and Cosmoem, Solgaleo and Lunala are said to have come from another world, [[Ultra Space]]. In The Light of Alola, it's written that they were known for giving light to the Alola region when it was first created. According to legends, when Solgaleo and Lunala appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]], the ancient kings of Alola bowed down to them and worshiped them. The Guardian Deities battled them and lost, gifting them the [[Tapunium Z]] after their defeat. According to [[Hapu]], an ancient ceremony was given to the legendary Pokémon, by climbing to [[Poni Island|Poni]]'s altar found at the end of the [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. The [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s, are then played to summon them. One flute found in [[Ula'ula Island|Ula'ula]]'s Lake, and the other found on [[Exeggutor Island]]. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Solgaleo and Lunala play an important role in the story, after [[Lillie]]'s Cosmog, [[Nebby]], evolves into Cosmoem, she brings it the altar, along with the player character, in order to summon the legendary, who turns out to be Nebby. Nebby takes the two to the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] so Lillie can confront [[Lusamine|her mother]]. The Legendary Pokémon is then caught by the protagonist under Lillie's direction.

[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Dusk Mane Dawn Wings.png|thumb|left|225px|Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma]]
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. In the story of the games, Lusamine and the Aether Foundation, with help from the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], have done research on Necrozma, swearing that she would protect Alola from Necrozma or any involved Ultra Beasts. At Poni's altar, Necrozma comes out from an Ultra Wormhole, along with Lusamine, who begs the player and Lillie to get away. Necrozma takes over the body of Nebby, who had just evolved into either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} and flees back to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], where the player must defeat it and return light back to the Alola Region. In the original Sun and Moon, Necrozma can be found in the post game, it's described as being similar to an Ultra Beast, however the [[International Police]] did not see it as such. [[Z-Power]] is known to have come from light produced by Necrozma,<ref>[[Dulse]], {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}: ''"These...auras...must have been particularly strong at the trial locations. And the Z-Power for the Z-Moves... It is also similar to the auras of the Totem Pokémon. Both came to Alola as Necrozma's light!"''</ref> while [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s (and [[Z-Ring]]/[[Z-Power Ring]]s by extension) are pieces of Necrozma that channel the Z-Power in order to produce a Z-Move.

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. All three have their own unique Z-Crystals, the [[Solganium Z]], the [[Lunalium Z]] and the [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Necrozma, while transformed into either Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings, can make use of the other two's Z-Crystals.

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]], five were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]], and one was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Additionally, The Crown Tundra introduced [[regional form]]s of three Legendary Pokémon from Generation I.

====Legends of Galar====
{{main|Hero duo}}
[[File:JN045.png|thumb|left|250px|Crowned Sword {{p|Zacian}} and Crowned Shield {{p|Zamazenta}} in the anime]]
[[File:Victor Eternatus Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Eternatus}} in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
{{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and {{p|Eternatus}} are Legendary Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Zacian and Zamazenta work together to protect the [[Galar]] region from any great calamity. 3000 years ago, a cataclysmic event known as the [[Darkest Day]] was caused by Eternatus' awakening, Zacian and Zamazenta awakened as well to defend the region with the help of two human heroes. Together, they managed to take Eternatus down, with Eternatus' defeat and the Darkest Day stopped, the two wolves retreated to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to return to their slumber as the two human heroes became Galar's new kings.

As the years passed, the two Pokémon were nearly forgotten by history, fake stories were made overtime; at the hall of the Budew Drop Inn, a statue of a single young hero, bearing a sword and a shield was built, said to be the one who defeated all gigantic Pokémon and saving the region, but in Hammerlocke Vault, four tapestries were made, depicting two young men using a sword and a shield to reverse the storm above them and afterwards, being crowned as kings. In the present day though, the truth behind the legend was finally discovered by [[Sonia]], after [[Bede]] destroyed a colorful ancient mural, revealing the stone statues of Zacian, Zamazenta and the two ancient kings of Galar. Sonia eventually published the truth of the legend in [[Sonia's Book|a book]], and became a point of contention from two brothers, [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who claimed to be the descendants for the old kings.

Eternatus is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] that crash-landed 20,000 years ago. 3000 years ago, it awakened for the very first time, threatening to destroy the whole region with its power, in the event known as the Darkest Day, but it was stopped by Zacian, Zamazenta, and the two Galarian kings. In the present day, president [[Rose]] tried to reawaken this Pokémon and bring about the Darkest Day once again, hoping it can fill the region for more years to come, Eternatus escaped though and thanks to [[Leon]], [[Hop]] and the player, Eternatus was stopped once again in its Eternamaxed form with the help of the Hero Duo as the player catch the Legendary dragon once and for all, so it causes no more harm to the Galar region.

====Kubfu and Urshifu====
[[File:2020 Legendary Pokemon Gen VIII 2.jpg|thumb|150px|{{p|Kubfu}} and two {{p|Urshifu}} in their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Urshifu|Rapid and Single Strike Styles]], drawn by [[HYOGONOSUKE]]]]

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.

Both were said to be created by Regigigas as well, using pure {{t|Electric}} energy and crystallized {{t|Dragon}} energy, they're seen as the most powerful of all giants, with Regieleki being capable of creating the electricity of a whole [[Galar|Region]] while Regidrago possess the power of every Dragon Pokemon. Like their "siblings" and creator, they were sealed away as well by ancient people in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] due to how dangerous they were. They can be encountered in the ruins they were sealed in after bringing and capturing the original three [[Legendary giants]]. However, only one of the giants can be captured, while the other one becomes unavailable to the player, in the anime though, Goh and Gary managed to catch both of them in the same ruins.

In the [[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, but they don't appear to have such a strong rivalry like their Kantonian counterparts have. 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.

It's still unknown what their true origins are, but it's confirmed that their names don't come from their first-discovered counterparts, but were thought due to their characteristics that possess similarities to the ice, electric and fire Types, making the true connection between both bird trios, mysterious. 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]].

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 attacked 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, its steed abandoned it and was forgotten as well.

According to legend, one of the steeds had been terrorizing [[Freezington]] for ages until Calyrex, after being nursed back to health by Freezington's citizens, defeated it and gained its loyalty, then becoming the king's servant and steed.

However, in time, people began to forget about Calyrex and it slowly lost most of its powers, and {{p|Glastrier}}/{{p|Spectrier}} abandon it as a result. Calyrex remains alone and forgotten until encountered by the player.

After fixing its statue in [[Freezington]], it shows up to the player and uses [[Peony]] to communicate with them. After accepting it has been completely forgotten by the residents of the town, it decided to try and tame its steed once again using the [[Reins of Unity]] to regain most of its old power. After succeeding, Calyrex thanks the player and battles them in its Ice/Shadow Ride form, allowing itself to be caught afterwards.

The first Koraidon/Miraidon can be used for riding along Paldea and battling, while the second Koraidon/Miraidon serves as the final boss of the main story before becoming able to be caught during the post-game.

====Loyal Three====
[[File:The Loyal Three.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} at [[Loyalty Plaza]] after being resurrected]]
{{main|Loyal Three}}
The Loyal Three was first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]], the first [[DLC]] package for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. They were believed to have protected [[Kitakami]] from {{p|Ogerpon}}, whose appearance frightened the villagers. In doing so, they were worshipped as heroes. After the truth about them was revealed, [[Carmine]] renamed them the '''Lousy Three''' or '''"Loyal" Three'''.

In truth, the Loyal Three were among many ruffians who traveled to Kitakami after hearing of Ogerpon and its partner's masks. They snuck into the cave they settled in and stole the Wellspring, Hearthflame, and Cornerstone Masks, leaving only the Teal Mask behind. Upon returning to its cave, an enraged Ogerpon donned the mask and went out to the village, cudgel in hand, to search for its friend. Upon meeting the Loyal Three, gloating over their stolen masks, Ogerpon attacked and defeated them, before leaving. The villagers, misunderstanding the situation, believed that the Loyal Three were protecting the village, creating a shrine and festival to celebrate their perceived heroism.

The player encounters the trio after they are revived, following [[Kieran]] punching the shrine in a rage. Later on, the player faces off against each member alongside [[Carmine]] as [[Titan Pokémon]]. When they are defeated, each member drops a stolen mask, allowing Ogerpon to recover it. They can be caught after clearing The Teal Mask storyline.

====Ogerpon====
[[File:1017Ogerpon 2.png|thumb|left|150px|{{p|Ogerpon}} peeking from behind its [[Teal Mask]]]]
{{p|Ogerpon}} is a Legendary Pokémon first introduced in [[The Teal Mask]]. It has four forms, Teal Mask, Wellspring Mask, Hearthflame Mask, and Cornerstone Mask, each form possessing an unique form while in its {{Tera}}stallized state. It is said to have terrorized the land of Kitakami before being stopped by the [[Loyal Three]], {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}} and {{p|Fezandipiti}}. However, it was later revealed to be only a misunderstanding, as it defeated the trio for stealing three of its mask and hurting its human companion, however, the villagers watching it, assumed it had come to attack the village, now seeing it as a terrible ogre, meant to be avoided. Only one knew the true story though, that being the mask maker who made Ogerpon's masks to begin with, telling the real story to his descendants ever since.

[[Florian]]/[[Juliana]] and [[Carmine]] encounters Ogerpon during the events during Kitakami's Festival of Masks, it loses its Teal Mask during the Festival and as the duo fixes it up, the Loyal Three are somehow revived and go to take revenge on Ogerpon with the three masks they had still. Eventually the three are beaten and Ogerpon's remaining masks are retrieved, as Ogerpon's true identity was revealed up by [[Kieran]], allowing the villagers to apologize for their mistakes and declare it as the true hero of [[Kitakami]] instead of the Loyal Three. Florian/Juliana can then capture it at the [[Dreaded Den]] after fighting Kieran who couldn't just let them have it instead of him.

====Terapagos====
[[File:The Indigo Disk Key Art 2.png |thumb|250px|Terastal Form {{p|Terapagos}}.]]
{{p|Terapagos}} is a Legendary Pokémon first introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]]. It is the origin of the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and was seen as only fiction by many in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}, the only ones knowing about its existence being [[Heath]] and [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. Terapagos has three {{fd|Terapagos|forms}}: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form.
{{-}}

==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}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, and {{p|Terapagos}} are the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either gender.
** Heatran and Terapagos have an equal chance of being either gender, while Kubfu and Urshifu both have a 7:1 chance of being male.
*** While Terapagos is coded to have an equal chance of being either gender, the one Terapagos you catch in [[The Indigo Disk]] will always be male.
* 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}}, {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{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 twenty 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]], {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!}}, [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl,]] [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]).
* Every Legendary Pokémon has slow [[List of Pokémon by experience type|leveling rate]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|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}}.
* Rotom happens to be the only non-Legendary Pokémon to have the battle music of a Legendary Pokémon during at least one of its encounters, this encounter being in the [[Old Chateau]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
** In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Rotom has only one exclusive item that is found behind a locked door in a specific dungeon. It and {{p|Spiritomb}} are the only Pokémon that are neither Legendary nor Mythical that do this.
* So far, there is at least one Legendary Pokémon directly or indirectly related to each "battle gimmick" introduced in their respective regions:
** The [[Aura trio]] (specifically Xerneas and Yveltal) are theorized to be indirectly responsible for creating [[Mega Evolution]] in the [[Kalos]] region, while {{p|Rayquaza}} is believed to be responsible for Mega Evolution occurring in the [[Hoenn]] region.
** The [[Light trio]] and [[Guardian deities]] are directly related to [[Z-Move]]s.
** Eternatus is directly responsible for [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]].
** Terapagos is directly responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

Ancient hero

2023-11-26T09:57:36Z

Peterchong: /* Pokémon Legends: Arceus */ Grammar

The '''ancient hero''' (Japanese: '''古代の英雄''' ''Ancient Hero'') is a character from the backstory of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
The ancient hero, long before the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan|Pearl]] Clans ever arrived, had befriend a group of ten Pokémon, who were the ancestors of the [[Noble Pokémon]]: {{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Electrode}}, and {{p|Avalugg}}, and of Hisui's [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|Ride Pokémon]]: {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, {{p|Sneasler}}, and {{p|Braviary}}.

In the [[Old Verse]]s, it is implied that the hero was part of the Celestica people. Legends say that he, along with his ten companions, soon started to seek out all of [[Arceus (game)|Arceus]]'s [[Plate|Plates]] to meet the deity himself. After finally finding them all, he managed to meet and battle Arceus, defeating it and receiving not only the being's respect, but a blessing given to all of the hero's Pokémon: that not only them but their descendants would keep Arceus' blessing and would be worshipped by the people of Hisui as the hero himself, would be remembered as the greatest Pokémon wielder of all.

Statues of all of his partners were built at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], until during the battle between {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, not only most of the temple, but all of the statues were completly destroyed.

==Pokémon==
===Befriended===
The Pokémon the hero had befriended during his travels and that as years passed, became the ancestors of the [[Noble Pokémon|Noble]] and [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|Ride Pokémon]] the present of the [[Hisui]] region.

The '''Forces of Nature'''<ref>''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' — ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''</ref><ref>Pokémon TCG: {{DL|Black & White TCG Series merchandise|Forces of Nature Collection}}</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/forces-of-nature-gx-premium-collection/ Pokémon TCG: Forces of Nature GX Premium Collection]</ref> (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 [[Legendary Pokémon]] 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'''. They were originally a trio when first introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}} before the introduction of Enamorus in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The [[Reveal Glass]], introduced in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, causes them to switch between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]].

==History and 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 {{g|Dream Radar}}, they are known to inhabit their Therian Formes in the [[Interdream Zone]], changing form to suit their environment. [[Professor Burnet]] suspects they may have been born here. The name "Therian Forme" was also created by Professor Burnet.<ref>[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]: 'it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme!"</ref>

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 uncertainty on whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] theorizes that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature. Their Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas, while they assume their 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 the [[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 Wastes]] 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 [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], being {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Monta]] in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'' in order to add his data to the [[Pokédex]].

===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 {{MangaArc|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 and flew away.

==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 of the Forces of Nature cannot be traded.
* All of the Forces of Nature are weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially designed as red and blue demons, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also later redesigned to distance them further. 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 name=LavaCutInterview>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the Forces of Nature appear to be based on {{wp|kami|deities}} from Japanese mythology. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and Landorus is based on a deity of the land,<ref name=LavaCutInterview/> perhaps specifically referring to {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests. Enamorus appears to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility. The Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}:<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> Tornadus represents the {{wp|Vermillion Bird}}, Thundurus represents the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}, Landorus represents the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}, and Enamorus represents the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}.

The original trio 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).

Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}. Landorus may be based on the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who isn't directly connected to autumn, but is sometimes depicted with crops and sometimes said to bring dry winds (like Landorus' move [[Sandsear Storm]]), or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.

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.

The '''Celestica Flute''' (Japanese: '''カミナギのふえ''' ''Kaminagi Flute'') is a type of [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==In the core series games==

===Description===

==Trivia==
*The Celestica Flute's sound is the same as the title screen jingle in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which is also the sound played by the unobtainable [[Azure Flute]] in those games.
**Once the player obtains all of the [[Plate]]s, the Celestica Flute becomes the Azure Flute.
