'''Misty's Politoed''' (Japanese: '''カスミのニョロトノ''' ''Kasumi's Nyorotono'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Misty}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Orange Islands]], and her seventh overall.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Misty Poliwag salveyo weed.png|thumb|left|220px|Poliwag helping to collect Salveyo weed]]
Politoed first appeared as a Poliwag in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', after {{Ash}} and {{Tracey}} were {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} by a {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}} attack. Misty was left to fetch the cure, [[Salveyo weed]], a special type of aquatic plant found at the bottom of lakes on which {{p|Poliwag}} feed. A friendly {{pkmn2|wild}} Poliwag helped her gather the special plant out of thanks for Misty protecting it from {{TRT}}. Poliwag obviously liked Misty, because it insisted on coming along with her, and Misty added it to her team.

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', Poliwag was called out, along with Misty's {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and [[Ash's Squirtle]], to help defeat the pirate poachers attempting to capture {{AP|Lapras}}'s mother and family. It joined the other Pokémon in destroying the pirates' cannons with its {{m|Water Gun}}. Then it gave [[Captain Crook]] a point-blank Water Gun to the face when he refused Misty's demand to call off his {{p|Tentacruel}} from their ordered attack on Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Lapras.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash and Misty both used [[Lure Ball]]s on a wild {{AP|Totodile}}. One of the Lure Balls caught the Big Jaw Pokémon out of sight, so Ash and Misty had a tournament to see who got the {{t|Water}} type. During a battle against {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, Misty's Poliwag [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Poliwhirl}}. Although Misty still lost, she concluded that she preferred the Poliwhirl who was willing to evolve to help her, rather than the Totodile who essentially did whatever he wanted.

In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', Poliwhirl was sent out alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and Totodile to stop [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s fake {{pkmn|Day Care}} scheme.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty used Poliwhirl in the [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. During the competition, Misty and Poliwhirl formed a rivalry with [[Andreas]] and his {{p|Poliwrath}}. Poliwhirl and Misty hooked a {{p|Seaking}} just as time ran out for the competition. Andreas and Misty both had a 55-kilogram Seaking, meaning they had to battle each other to decide the winner. The battle started with Poliwhirl getting overwhelmed due to battling its evolved form. It lost its confidence and hid behind Misty. [[Misty's Psyduck]], {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} then popped out of their Balls to encourage Poliwhirl, and it decided to resume the match. Poliwhirl then beat Poliwrath, winning the competition for Misty.

In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Poliwhirl was sent out alongside Misty and Brock's Pokémon to stop {{an|Giovanni}} and the rest of [[Team Rocket]] from recapturing {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Their distraction gave Ash the time he needed to take Mewtwo to the top of [[Mount Quena]] so it could be healed.
[[File:Ash Totodile vs Misty Poliwhirl.png|thumb|220px|Poliwhirl in the Whirl Cup]]
Misty used Poliwhirl in the second and third rounds of the [[Whirl Cup]] in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. In the second round, Poliwhirl went up against Ash's Totodile. Ash started the battle by having Totodile use Water Gun, but Poliwhirl dove underwater to evade it. Poliwhirl jumped out of the water and attacked with Bubble, dazing Totodile for a while. Poliwhirl attempted to use {{m|Double Slap}}, but Totodile dodged and headbutted it back into a pillar. However, Poliwhirl kicked off the pillar and dove towards Totodile, using Double Slap again, and [[fainting|knocking Totodile out]]. Ash recalled Totodile and sent out {{AP|Kingler}}. Misty again commanded Poliwhirl to unleash another Bubble, but Kingler used {{m|Crabhammer}} first. An energy sphere was sent across the arena, causing whirlpools to form. The attack knocked Poliwhirl into the whirlpools, and another Crabhammer attack knocked Poliwhirl out.
[[File:EP247.png|thumb|left|220px|The King's Rock Poliwhirl used to evolve]]
Misty again started with Poliwhirl in the third round against [[Trinity]] and her {{p|Gyarados}}. Misty told Poliwhirl to use Bubble, but Trinity responded with Gyarados's {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Gyarados quickly charged up and fired the Hyper Beam, knocking the Bubble away and defeating Poliwhirl.

In ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'', on the way to [[Blackthorn City]], Misty fought [[Delaney|a Trainer]] with a Poliwrath and lost. Misty started to consider evolving Poliwhirl. Misty took Poliwhirl to the local [[Pokémon Center]] to be healed, with Poliwhirl picking up the [[King's Rock]] that Ash had won in a tournament on the way. Misty did not notice this and simply gave Poliwhirl to [[Nurse Joy]] for treatment. Shortly afterward, in a battle against {{TRT}}, Misty recovered her Poliwhirl via transfer machine from another Pokémon Center and let it out. It was summoned wearing the King's Rock, surprising Misty when it evolved into Politoed before her eyes. Although it wasn't the Poliwrath she wanted, Misty was thrilled with her newly evolved Pokémon.

In ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So!]]'', Politoed was mistaken by {{OBP|Tammy|EP249}} for her Politoed, Bean. She took Politoed to her dance school and quickly figured out Politoed wasn't hers, but was impressed by its clapping and excellent rhythm. While practicing, Misty found them and insisted she be given Politoed back. Tammy believed Politoed was key to winning the National Cheering Competition and begged Misty to let her use Politoed. While deciding what to do, Team Rocket arrived to steal the dancing troupe. Politoed teamed up with Bean to send them blasting off and, finding that Bean had discovered its sense of rhythm, Tammy agreed to let Politoed return to Misty.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Politoed defeated [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Kim]]'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} with Bubble, while [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Brock's Forretress]] handled the other brothers' Pokémon.

===={{g|Chronicles}}====
In ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', Politoed was sent out of its Poké Ball to calm down a rampaging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Politoed was used in Misty's battle against Ash to decide who would get to catch a {{P|Clauncher}} they were both trying to get. Politoed battled against {{AP|Corphish}}, and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} to her team. During the battle, Misty revealed that Politoed had become the guardian deity of the [[Cerulean Gym]].

In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Politoed was called out alongside {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and Clauncher to help the [[Squirtle Squad]] stop a rampaging fire.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Misty and Politoed.png|thumb|left|250px|Politoed and Misty]]
[[File:Misty Politoed clap.png|thumb|220px|Politoed's habit of clapping]]
As a {{p|Poliwag}}, it was very friendly, cheerful, and liked to help people, as shown when {{an|Misty}} first caught it in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''. It was shown to be highly affectionate toward Misty even before its capture, as shown by it nuzzling up against her after Misty used some Pokémon cream on it. After it evolved into a Poliwhirl, Misty began to use it in many of her battles as it developed more stability on land. Poliwhirl, however, also had a bit of a confidence problem, where it tended to hide behind Misty's legs to avoid confrontation. In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Poliwhirl overcame its fears after Misty's other Pokémon offered support. In its future battles during the [[Whirl Cup]] and against [[Delaney]], Poliwhirl leaped into the rounds with visible determination.

After evolving into Politoed, it became particularly cheerful. Its habit of clapping, even at inappropriate moments or when being scolded, often irritated Misty. However, its excellent rhythm proved useful in ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So!]]'', where it took up cheerleading with {{OBP|Tammy|EP249}}'s Pokémon cheer squad. Tammy rekindled her interest in entertaining audiences with cheers rather than winning tournaments, while her own Politoed, [[nickname]]d Bean, learned Misty's Politoed's clap routine. Politoed also continued to show its affection toward Misty in that same episode, running joyously toward her when she had found it at Tammy's home.

Since Misty stopped traveling with Ash, Politoed has become one of her most trusted Pokémon as of ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]''. Its improved strength has made it the current guardian of the [[Cerulean Gym]].

'''AZ's Floette''' (Japanese: '''AZのフラエッテ''' ''AZ's Floette'') is an {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} {{p|Floette}} befriended by [[AZ]]. Unlike others of its species, she has a unique color scheme and holds a flower known as the Eternal Flower. She cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], but can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Floette''' using the [[Floettite]]. She first appeared in {{g|X and Y}}, but played a larger role in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==In the core series games==

[[File:AZ's Floette Resurrected.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette being resurrected by [[AZ]]'s [[Ultimate weapon|machine]]]]
</div>
At some point prior to {{g|X and Y}}, Floette was gifted to AZ by his mother. 3,000 years ago, Floette was forcefully conscripted into a war in [[Kalos]], where she died after years of fighting. Her body was given to AZ, who, out of unspeakable grief, built a machine that would restore her to life, making her immortal in the process. The machine was powered by the energy of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}}.

Although successful, he was still consumed by despair and turned the machine into a weapon, destroying both sides and ending the war. Floette learned that AZ had stolen the life forces of other Pokémon in order to revive her and left him in disgust.

After being exposed to the energy of the ultimate weapon, AZ grew much taller and gained an extended lifespan, letting him live for thousands of years. He took to traveling the world in a fruitless search for Floette, witnessing many cataclysmic events and researching Mega Evolution. 2,000 years ago, AZ was approached by a powerful man and asked to help protect Kalos. He decided to build [[Ange|another machine]] that would share the eternal life he had given to Floette. He planned to use it once they were reunited, but it laid dormant until the present day.

</div>
3,000 years after the Kalos war, the ultimate weapon is reactivated by [[Lysandre]], who has imprisoned AZ and stolen the activation key from him. The player encounters him in his cell and learns about the history of Kalos, then later battles him at a parade celebrating them becoming the Kalos {{pkmn|Champion}}. After the battle, AZ smiles and thanks them for teaching him what it is to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and freeing him from his endless torment.

Sensing that his heart is at last liberated from anger and despair, Floette returns to him, gently floating down from the sky into his waiting hands. Disbelieving, he sinks onto his knees, overjoyed to finally see her again.

<div style="float:left; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:AZ Floette Z-A.png|thumb|left|250px|Floette's first introduction to the {{player}}]]
</div>
Five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}, Floette now lives with AZ in [[Hotel Z]]. Due to Lysandre's actions, a disturbance in [[Prism Tower]] occurs and releases a flood of [[Mega Power]] that forces Pokémon to undergo [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], signifying the reawakening of [[Ange]]. AZ tasks [[Vinnie]] and [[Jett]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] to find a Trainer who is strong enough to Mega Evolve his Floette, who is the only one capable of controlling and deactivating the device.

Two years pass as they search for the right Trainer, closing off Prism Tower and establishing the [[Z-A Royale]]. Meanwhile, AZ befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]], who form [[Team MZ]] in an attempt to attract more guests to the rarely visited hotel. Upon meeting the {{player}} and seeing a [[Zygarde Cell]] slip out of their bag, AZ informs them that their arrival is fated and is happy that they've joined the Z-A Royale. As time passes, AZ appears to grow sick, coughing irregularly and reflecting on his past and aging body.

Floette alerts him when the player and [[Emma]] are led by {{p|Zygarde}} to a Rogue Mega {{p|Absol}}. AZ gives the player a [[Mega Ring]] and loans them his {{p|Lucario}}, urging them to Mega Evolve it. The player then joins Team MZ in their attempts to subdue the Rogue Mega Pokémon appearing throughout [[Lumiose City]].
<div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
[[File:Hyperrogue Ange Floette.jpg|thumb|right|250px|{{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}]]
</div>
Later, AZ fills the player and Team MZ in on Ange and his plans to stop it. The player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A in the Z-A Royale, but that night, Ange breaks free from Prism Tower. Floette is given to the group and Mega Evolves at Ange's base. She carries Urbain/Taunie in a bubble up to Ange's control room, where she attempts to absorb the Mega Power emanating from the device. Instead of shutting down, Ange goes out of control and fuses with Mega Floette to become {{DL|Ange|Hyperrogue Ange Floette}}. Its immense power causes enormous roots and giant Eternal Flowers to grow all over the city, forcing even more Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

The player, with the help of the city's citizens, manages to earn Zygarde's trust and works together with it to defeat Hyperrogue Ange Floette. Not yet down, Hyperrogue Ange Floette unleashes a power-boosted {{m|Light of Ruin}} on the city. The player Mega Evolves Zygarde and commands it to use its {{m|Nihil Light}}, releasing Eternal Flower Floette from Ange's control and destroying the machine.

In the aftermath, AZ quietly passes away, leaving Urbain/Taunie to take ownership of Floette and use her against the player in their 15th [[Z-A Royale|Infinite Z-A Royale]] reward. After the match, they give Floette and the [[Floettite]] to the player due to becoming the new CEO of Quasartico Inc. in Jett's place.

=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Right before the battle with {{p|Darkrai}}, AZ and Floette appear to the player, Urbain/Taunie, and [[Korrina]] in [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], taking the form of a dream-like manifestation. After reaffirming his belief in them and waving goodbye, he and Floette fade away.

===Personality and characteristics===
Floette is a kind and caring Pokémon that is loyal to her partner, [[AZ]]. She was willing to leave him for a time because of AZ's all-consuming hatred and the destruction he caused in order to revive her from death. Floette was shown to be patient, waiting 3,000 years for him to return to his original self before reuniting with him. She is brave in protecting those she cares about, as seen when she defended [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] from [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon]].

She is the only known Floette who is capable of Mega Evolving, possibly as a result of being revived by [[Infinity Energy]]. This may also be why she is unable to evolve.<ref>[[AZ]]: ''"My Floette cannot [[Evolution|evolve]]... Perhaps because she is such a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, having received the lives of so many others... Though that is only my conjecture."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>

===Obtainability===
Game data exists for Eternal Flower Floette in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, although she cannot be legitimately obtained in those games. Eternal Flower Floette's stats are notably higher than a regular Floette and sit more closely to those of {{p|Florges}}. Her [[cry]] is different from a regular Floette's. She has a base [[experience]] yield of 243.

She cannot breed, as she is in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} [[Egg Group]]. She also cannot evolve and is unaffected by the [[Eviolite]]. She has her own signature move, {{m|Light of Ruin}}, which she learns at level 50.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Eternal Flower Floette was finally made obtainable, being obtained after defeating [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] in the 15th Infinite Z-A Royale reward match after the [[Game credits|credits]].

===Pokémon Generations===
AZ's Floette appeared in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', where she was a Pokémon AZ befriended 3,000 years ago. One day, Floette perished after being forced to participate in a war. Out of grief, AZ built a machine to revive his fallen friend, but Floette left him after learning that he sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine. She later returned to AZ in the modern day.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:AZ Floette Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Floette in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
==== {{MangaArc|X & Y}} ====
Floette first appears in a flashback in ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]''. AZ [[PS580|later]] explained that he created a machine to revive his dead Floette. AZ then wanted the war Floette was killed in to end, so he turned the machine into the [[ultimate weapon]] and fired it. The war ended, but Floette realized that AZ sacrificed the lives of many Pokémon to power the machine, so she left him.

in the ''[[PS594|Epilogue]]'', AZ teaches {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}} to not be disappointed in the fact that no one is thanking them for defeating [[Team Flare]], as that same feeling was what caused [[Lysandre]] to start Team Flare in the first place. After showing that he's truly changed, Floette returns to AZ after 3,000 years apart.

'''AZ's Tranquility''' is a {{TCG|Supporter card}} introduced in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). A {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version with artwork by [[OKACHEKE]] was released including Floette. This card allows the player to switch their Active Pokémon with 1 of their Benched Pokémon — if the Pokémon that was moved to the Bench is a {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}, the player heals 80 damage from it. This card's illustration features AZ and Floette as they appear in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Trivia==
* Eternal Flower Floette is the only known Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]] whose species has a known [[Evolution]].
* Despite only Eternal Flower Floette being able to Mega Evolve, Mega Floette's [[cry]] is based on that of regular Floette.
* Despite being present in the data of all of the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, as well as {{g|HOME}}, the form name "Eternal Flower" was not officially revealed until [[Pokémon Day#2025|Pokémon Day 2025]], 4,156 days (over 11 years) after the release of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1895129369539969220 Post by the official Pokémon account on X], "Eternal Flower Floette is said to have lived for 3,000 years."</ref>
* Even though she was unobtainable in the games at the time, Eternal Flower Floette appears on the cover of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official National Pokédex]].

Beast killer project

2026-04-30T11:00:48Z

Taupe: /* Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon */

[[File:Gladion with Silvally.png|thumb|250px|[[Gladion]]'s {{tp|Gladion|Silvally}} was originally created as a beast killer<br>Illustrated by [[Hitoshi Ariga]] for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
The '''beast killer project''' (Japanese: '''Ｂｅａｓｔ　Ｋｉｌｌｅｒ　開発　プロジェクト''' ''Beast Killer development project''), also abbreviated as '''BKP''' (Japanese: '''ＢＫＰ'''), was a project ran by the [[Aether Foundation]]. Under the direction of Aether's president, [[Lusamine]], it was an attempt to create an "Anti-UB Fighting life-form", a [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon]] designed to fight against the [[Ultra Beast]]s.

==In the core series games==
Research for the BKP was developed with data collected on myths and legends involving a {{p|Arceus|Mythical Pokémon}} found from [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. This research resulted in creating a Pokémon dubbed a '''beast killer''' (often shorted to '''BK''') that could shift to any of the 18 [[type]]s that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} could have, using a special [[Ability|program]] called the {{a|RKS System}}. The RKS System would require the usage of special [[Memory|memories]] to achieve this. After its creation, the BK's was named '''Type: Full''' (Japanese: '''タイプ：フル''' ''Type: Full''). Three models of Type: Full were created: '''serial number 01''' (Japanese: '''Ｓ／Ｎ―０１'''), '''serial number 02''' (Japanese: '''Ｓ／Ｎ―０２'''), and '''serial number 03''' (Japanese: '''Ｓ／Ｎ―０３'''). All three models rejected their RKS System during testing and went berserk. Without the president's knowledge, [[Faba]] created a control mask to reduce the effects of their rejection of the RKS System. All three Type: Full were placed into cryogenic stasis and were renamed {{p|Type: Null}}. After [[Gladion]] stole a [[Gladion's Silvally|Type: Null]] and eventually [[Evolution|evolved]] it (allowing it to destroy its control mask), he renamed it {{p|Silvally}}.

The Pokémon and the project were created in order to kill [[Ultra Beasts]], a group of highly dangerous and unknown [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]]. Though implied by the project's name, this information was not explicitly confirmed until {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, where [[Wicke]] claims that Type: Full were created as potential weapons to fight against Ultra Beasts. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Gladion states "''My partner Null was born to be a beast killer!''", further mentioning in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon that he had trained his Type: Null to be able to take down Ultra Beasts that may appear from the other side of the [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The beast killer project was developed concurrently with the creation of [[Beast Ball]]s, a specialized type of [[Poké Ball]] designed specifically for capturing Ultra Beasts.

The research documents of the beast killer project were eventually made public some time before the events of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon according to Faba's blog. A fourth model made from stolen documents was also developed in the [[Galar]] [[region]], with the model being given to the {{player}} in {{g|Sword and Shield}} by a [[Macro Cosmos]] employee.

===Pokémon created===
A total of three Type: Full models were produced for the beast killer project. Two of the models were seen in-game, with the third being left in an unknown state. All known {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}} were put in [[Poké Ball]]s.

====Gladion's Silvally====
{{main|Gladion's Silvally#In the games|Gladion's Silvally}}
[[Gladion's Silvally]] was among the three produced. [[Gladion]] had stolen the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} without his [[Lusamine|mother's]] knowledge, only telling [[Wicke]] of his plans. Gladion sympathizes with Type: Null, hoping to break the control mask. The player comes across this Pokémon numerous times. Silvally's form will change depending on the [[first partner Pokémon]] the player originally chose.

====Pokémon Sun and Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player can visit [[Aether Paradise]] in their post-game adventure. [[Gladion]] will be waiting there to tell the player about the effects they had on him and his family, and thanking them with a Type: Null in hopes they can achieve the same as he did with his Silvally. He provides the player with all memory drives that are required for Silvally's RKS System.

Type: Null can be {{shiny}}.

}}

====Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, after the player has become the Champion, they can meet with [[Wicke]] at [[Poni Grove]]. On [[Gladion]]'s behalf, due to his departure to [[Kanto]], she will give the player a Type: Null and its memory drives. If the player is unable to collect the Pokémon at Poni Grove, Wicke will instead be at [[Aether Paradise]].

Type: Null can be {{shiny}}.

===Faba's blog entries===
In the same room, [[Faba]]'s blog entries can be read on a computer, providing insight on the before and after of his involvement with the project.
; First entry
:''"This is the blog of F, a branch chief working in the [[Alola]] region."''
:''"Title: Introduction"''
:''"Are you interested in success, dear readers? Then allow me to introduce myself. My name is F, and I am an elite, self-made man. Here on my blog, I will show you the way to succeed."''
; Second entry
:''"This is the blog of F, a branch chief working in the Alola region."''
:''"Title: Multitasking"''
:''"Currently I am working on the development of a special sort of [[Beast Ball|ball]], which I took over from my [[Mohn|predecessor]], in parallel with another project. Seeing how well I multitask impresses my subordinates and increases their motivation. Showing how skillful you are is a kind of on-the-job training for your underlings."''
; Third entry
:''"This is the blog of F, a branch chief working in the Alola region."''
:''"Title: Hedging risks"''
:''"I once ventured to undertake a project without notifying my [[Lusamine|superior]]. I developed a device to restrain a {{p|Type: Null|dangerous life form}}, in case it became necessary to do so. I had it made for hedging risks to protect myself, but for better or worse, it was made public. It is always essential to consider the risks before one takes action."''

'''Casey's Meganium''' (Japanese: '''ナナコのメガニウム''' ''Nanako's Meganium'') is {{an|Casey}}'s [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. She obtained it as a Chikorita the day before {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} arrived at [[Professor Elm]]'s lab.

==History==
==={{aniseries|GS}}===
[[File:Casey and Meganium.png|left|thumb|220px|Meganium and Casey]]
Meganium first appeared as a Chikorita alongside its trainer in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. It had just helped her to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Rattata}} when she met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. She challenged Ash to a [[Pokémon battle]]. Ash defeated all three of her Pokémon including Chikorita with his {{AP|Charizard}}. Later, Casey used Chikorita again to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] and, thanks to the [[type]] advantage, Chikorita was able to resist {{type|Electric}} attacks. The battle ended without a winner being declared, however, because {{TRT}} attacked both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s during the match and captured all of the Pokémon. In the end, Chikorita joined {{p|Pidgey}}, Rattata, and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} to send Team Rocket blasting off.

Chikorita reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''.

In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Chikorita was used during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], despite having a disadvantage in the competition. Throughout the episode, Casey pushed Chikorita too hard and failed to notice when it became too tired to continue battling, forcing Ash, Misty, and Brock to call her out for this. When they were attacked by {{TRT}}, Casey used her Chikorita again, and during the battle, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Bayleef}} and sent Team Rocket blasting off. Despite everything, Casey and Bayleef were unable to win the competition.

When Ash and {{ashfr}} met up with Casey again in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]'', her Bayleef was now fully evolved into a {{p|Meganium}}. During the search for [[Ash's Larvitar]], Meganium was one of the Pokémon affected by the power of [[James]]'s newly acquired {{p|Weepinbell}}. Casey used Meganium to defeat [[Jessie's Arbok]], but despite its efforts, it was no match for [[Jessie]]'s Pokémon. Later, Casey used Meganium in a battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Elekid}}. Although Elekid was powerful, it was defeated by Meganium, allowing Casey to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.

===[[Pokémon Chronicles]]===

In ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]'', Meganium was beside Casey as she was trying to find out about a mysterious note that Misty received. Later, Meganium was used alongside [[Misty's Corsola]] in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Butch]]'s {{p|Mightyena}} and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Sableye}}. Meganium and {{p|Corsola}} proved to be very powerful and easily defeated their opponents.

In ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'', Meganium joined [[Casey's Beedrill]] and {{p|Elekid}} to stop a runaway {{p|Charizard}} from advancing. Despite their strength, the trio couldn't keep the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon from away. Meganium later appeared with the other Pokémon to cheer on and help train [[Corey Demario]]'s own Pokémon.

==Personality and characteristics==
Meganium shares a close bond with Casey, often being seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]]. It appears to share Casey's fighting spirit and enjoys her renditions of the Electabuzz fight song. Meganium is also a fierce battler, evolving into a Bayleef just so that it could help Casey during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]].

'''Gladion''' (Japanese: '''グラジオ''' ''Glazio'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He works for [[Team Skull]] as an enforcer, and serves as a [[rival]] character to the player in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Skull''' (Japanese: '''スカルだん''' ''Skull Gang'').

==In the core series games==
[[File:Gladion Silvally Postcard 2 Front.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Gladion and his Silvally in artwork by [[Megumi Mizutani]]]]
===Character profile===
Gladion is a young boy who has made his debut in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, who serves as a [[rival]] to the {{player}}. As a part of [[Team Skull]] in the [[Alola]] [[region]], he lends them their strength as an enforcer, often performing small tasks for the group. Other members of the organization don't often consider Gladion to be a true member of Team Skull, and will often antagonize him. Gladion starts off as quite rebellious, and along with his partner, a [[Gladion's Silvally|Type: Null]], wishes to get stronger. Due to this behavior, Gladion comes off as unfriendly, telling others how and when to be serious and often doing things on his own. Despite this, Gladion cares deeply about his friends, family and Pokémon, thriving to get stronger to protect them. Gladion has many skills, including strength in [[Pokémon battle]]s, often participating in [[Battle Royal]]s. His English concept art describes the character as having middle-school arrogance. According to [[Pokémon Masters EX]], Gladion taught himself how to sew.

Over the course of the games, Gladion warms up to doing things as a group and appreciative of the people he has met in Alola, such as [[Hau]] and the {{player}}. In Sun and Moon, Gladion acts as the president of the [[Aether Foundation]] in his [[Lusamine|mother]]'s place as she has gone to [[Kanto]] to be cared for.

Gladion also appears to be quite knowledgeable about Pokémon, including {{p|Cosmog}}, the {{p|Type: Null}} line and the [[Ultra Beast]]s, Pokémon being researched by the [[Aether Foundation]]. He had named the {{p|Silvally}} species.

Gladion's known relatives include his parents, [[Lusamine]] and [[Mohn]]; he also has a little sister by the name of [[Lillie]]. Gladion's grandfather, and Lusamine's father, goes unnamed, but he was known as a wealthy man who had loved Pokémon, creating the [[Aether Foundation]]. He had originally lived on [[Aether Paradise]] with his family before leaving with {{p|Type: Null}}. Like his sister, Gladion had been treated poorly by his mother, being told to dress and act the way she had wanted. Gladion compares himself to Null in this instance. Despite prioritizing Type: Null over Lillie, Gladion appears to have a good relationship with his sister and had worried for her.

===Appearance===
[[File:Gladion SM concept art.png|thumb|250px|right|Gladion's concept art from {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Gladion is a young teenage boy. Like his family, he has blonde hair and green eyes. His hair is mainly short, but he has long bangs that cascade over his right eye and the right side of his face. Gladion has sharp angular eyes and thick eyebrows that are the same color as his hair. Gladion has four cuts in his hair that show his skin—two on each side of his head. He has two metal piercings on the top side of his left ear.

Gladion wears a black, sleeveless sweatshirt. It has a large, spiked hood with two gray draw strings. A giant red gash goes through the middle. Underneath, Gladion wears a darker tight-fitting black shirt. Its long sleeves reach down to his wrists and also contain multiple cuts. Gladion has black pants that reach down to his shins, with multiple cuts and gashes as well. These scrapes are likely due to his Type: Null creating holes in his outfit. Gladion's red shoes have gray soles and black laces. He has a red waist bag with a single flap. A gray button is seen on the front of the flap, containing a 3 oval symbol. This symbol also appears throughout both of Lillie's outfits.

===History===
====Background====
'''Website blurb''': ''This young man lends his strength to Team Skull as an enforcer. He places a high value on being strong in Pokémon battles. His partner Pokémon is the mysterious Type: Null.''

Gladion used to live a happy life in [[Aether Paradise]] alongside his family: his mother [[Lusamine]], his father [[Mohn]], and his younger sister [[Lillie]]. This all changed when Mohn disappeared within an [[Ultra Wormhole]], leaving a weakened [[Nebby|Cosmog]] behind. Since then, his mother became abusive and controlling of her children, even choosing the clothes they wore. Over time, he noticed his mother's growing obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s and realized that she could harm [[Alola]] if she let Ultra Beasts into the [[region]]. He decided to leave Paradise, only telling [[Wicke]] of his departure. Before leaving, he stole one of the three {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}, Pokémon [[artificial Pokémon|created]] to be weapons to attack Ultra Beasts, having felt bad for it and hoping to get stronger.

Upon leaving the Aether Foundation, Gladion had two goals: to stop his mother and to free Type: Null from the helmet that was meant to subdue it. He eventually worked as an enforcer for [[Team Skull]] but was never considered an actual member of the [[Villainous team|team]].

===={{g|Sun and Moon}}====
Gladion first meets the {{player}} on {{rt|5|Alola}} as a Team Skull member, but he does not seem to be interested in Team Skull's affairs, unlike the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt|Grunts}} near him. In this interaction, he seems to be berating [[Hau]] for not treating Pokémon battles with seriousness. The player encounters him again at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], to which he has a battle in a [[Battle Royal]] against the player, [[Hau]] and the [[Professor Kukui|Masked Royal]]. The player can meet him again in a motel on {{rt|8|Alola}}, but he will tell them to leave. Gladion won't appear again until he encounters the player with Hau on {{rt|13|Alola}}. At this moment, he informs the player to avoid letting anyone know about a {{p|Cosmog}} if they happen to know of it, as this could threaten the safety of the region. At [[Aether House]] on {{rt|15|Alola}} Lillie gets captured by Team Skull while the player is battling [[Guzma]] in [[Po Town]]. Gladion appears before the player upon their return to the Aether House and battles them to express his frustration. There, he finds out that Lillie had stolen [[Nebby]] from Aether, prompting him to take the player and [[Hau]] to [[Aether Paradise]] to face Lusamine and save Lillie.

On Aether Paradise, Gladion, Hau and the player meet [[Faba]], who has already alerted the organization of their presence, After battle, he takes the two to Paradise' secret labs, going into Secret Lab A while they take Secret Lab B. Gladion reveals that Secret Lab B was where the Type: Null were originally created, and he relates to them, being told to act and behave a certain way. After the player learns more about Cosmog, they make it back upstairs and he battles alongside the player in a multitude of battles against the Aether Foundation, including against another battle with Faba. Gladion and Hau battle a group of [[Team Skull Grunt]]s as the player make their way to Lusamine's mansion. After the player has met up and protected Lillie from Lusamine, Gladion and Hau catch up, and it is revealed that he and Lillie are Lusamine's children. Lusamine has kept Nebby in a cage since Lillie's kidnapping, in hopes to use the Pokémon's power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Gladion and his sister plead to Lusamine to not use Nebby's power. Lusamine ignores their pleas, saying that despite all the love she had given them, they had rejected her and didn't deserve to listen after stealing Type: Null. Lusamine opens Ultra Wormholes around Alola, including in the trophy room they are currently in. This has caused Nebby to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Cosmoem}} (but nobody seems to be aware of this). During this time, Gladion fights against any Ultra Beats that may come from the wormhole. Lusamine and Guzma leave for [[Ultra Space]]. The group resides in Aether Paradise for the night under the protection of Wicke. Gladion provides the player with a [[Master Ball]] and Lillie with the [[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|M}} before taking them to [[Seafolk Village]] on [[Poni Island]].

At Seafolk Village, Gladion and his sister have a conversation about each other and their mother, apologizing for leaving Lillie alone while Lusamine had treated her horribly. Gladion leaves to train, and trusts the player and Lillie with saving his mother. Gladion isn't encountered again until the player makes their way to the newly finished {{al|Pokémon League}} on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He thanks the player for stopping Lusamine and reveals that not only has he received a [[Z-Ring]], but also managed to release his Type: Null from its restraint, evolving it into {{p|Silvally}}. His Silvally will be holding the [[memory]] of the type that is strong against the player's first partner Pokémon's type. After defeat, he also explains that he came to relay a message from his sister, to tell the player that they are the best Pokémon Trainer in the world, and provides them with 3 [[Max Ether]]s.

Gladion appears at the festival in [[Iki Town]] after the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}. Gladion appears with his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} in a photograph, in Sun and Moon's credits sequence.

After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Alola region, Gladion has taken over as acting president of the Aether Foundation while Lusamine is away. He may be spoken to at Aether Paradise's conservation area, where he will give the player a Type: Null of their own, along with all of Silvally's [[memory]] drives. He thanks the player for helping out his family, especially for Lillie who he claims has never seen such a smile on her before. Gladion then explains to them that the cause for Lusamine's actions were likely a result of his father's research on {{p|Nihilego}}.

Gladion is one of the possible challengers who may appear at the Pokémon League as the player [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defends their title as Champion]].

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
Gladion's role is mostly similar as in Sun and Moon, although with several changes. As Lusamine is not obsessed with Ultra Beasts in this continuity, he instead left Aether Paradise with Type: Null due to [[Mohn]]'s disappearance, seeking to become stronger to protect Lillie and Lusamine. After the player becomes Champion, Gladion leaves the Alola region to train at [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Before leaving, he leaves a Type: Null and a set of memory drives in the possession of [[Wicke]], who gives them to the player at [[Ancient Poni Path]] during the post-game.

A month after {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{p|Necrozma}}'s defeat, Gladion returns to Alola and can be faced in a Pokémon League Title Defense battle, where he will wield the fully evolved form of a Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]], whose type matches the player's first partner Pokémon's type. After Gladion has been defeated in a Title Defense battle, the player can visit Aether Paradise to see Gladion witnessing a meeting between Lusamine and Mohn, with Lusamine letting her amnesiac husband continue his life of running [[Poké Pelago]]. Gladion asks Lusamine if she's sure about wanting to leave him in his current state, but Lusamine is simply satisfied to see Mohn being happy with his life.

===Pokémon===
Gladion has a {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} that evolves into a {{p|Silvally}}, having stolen it from his mother at Aether Paradise. Silvally's [[type]] and [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Silvally|form]] will change to the type that is stronger against the player's [[first partner Pokémon]].

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Gladion will gain an additional Pokémon when the player is [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|defending their title]] as Champion after exploring [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Here he will have either {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} or {{p|Blastoise}}, whichever is the same type as the player's first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

{{main|Gladion (anime)}}
In {{aniseries|SM}}, Gladion is a recurring character and {{Ash}}'s [[rival]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. He first made a cameo appearance in a [[Photography|photo]] along with his mother {{an|Lusamine}} and sister {{an|Lillie}}. His first proper appearance was in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''.

===GOTCHA!===
Gladion briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Gladion appeared in a flashback in ''[[PE02|The Eclipse]]'', in which he, [[Lillie]], {{ga|Selene}}, [[Hau]], and [[Guzma]] witnessed [[Lusamine]] use [[Nebby]]'s power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]] in [[Aether Paradise]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Gladion Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Gladion in Pokémon Adventures]]Gladion debuted in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]''. He first appeared as a participant at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. He was absent when the tournament roster was being determined, but returned by the time the tournament started. He explained he was away checking an [[Ultra Wormhole]] his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}} had sensed.

In ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', Gladion faced against [[Hau]]. When Hau mentioned he joined the tournament because he thought it'd be fun, Gladion called him weak and won the battle. In ''[[PASM06|The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer]]'', Gladion's next opponent was Moon, who wanted to know about the Ultra Wormhole. Gladion agreed to tell her about it, but only if she managed to defeat him. Despite Moon's skill, Gladion eventually won the battle through luck.

In ''[[PASM07|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'', Gladion and {{adv|Sun}} faced each other in the finals. During the battle, Sun's attitude annoyed Gladion, who questioned the boy's motivation for joining the tournament. Gladion's words angered Sun, who accidentally activated a powerful {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} that defeated Type: Null before passing out from exhaustion. Though Gladion still had an active Pokémon, Sun was declared the winner. Afterward, Gladion left to find a place to train so he may prepare to face the [[Ultra Beast]]s, mentioning that he lost his chance to meet the [[guardian deities|tapu]].

In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Gladion traveled to the [[Ruins of Conflict]] to meet {{p|Tapu Koko}}. There, he met [[Guzma]], who praised Gladion's performance in the Iki Town tournament and offered him a job as an Enforcer for [[Team Skull]]. Gladion immediately accepted, but asked to know about the person Guzma mentioned when he left during the tournament. Guzma feigned ignorance about his earlier statement and had Gladion follow him to [[Po Town|Team Skull's hideout]].

In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', Sun and Moon found an injured [[Kiawe]], who was attacked by Gladion in order to learn where the [[Ruins of Life]] were located. After healing Kiawe, the three traveled to the ruins, where they found Gladion trying to take {{p|Tapu Lele}}, who was healing from injuries it sustained from an earlier clash with a {{p|Xurkitree}}. Realizing Gladion wanted Tapu Lele to help fight off the Ultra Beasts, Moon suggested they work together. Sun refused to team up with someone who works for villains and decided to defeat him with his newly-mastered Z-Move. Due to not having a Z-Ring, Sun attempted to borrow Kiawe's, but it was destroyed by Type: Null before he could take it. Although Gladion claimed Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appeared, claiming that Gladion wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring if he believed that. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who has her Pokémon distract Type: Null before delivering Sun his own Z-Ring.

In ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]'', Sun and Dollar fired a perfected Inferno Overdrive at Type: Null, causing its mask to crack. After switching for {{p|Porygon}}, Sun tried the Z-Move again, but failed, leading to Dollar's defeat. Gladion gave up on Tapu Lele, declaring it too weak to help him with the Ultra Beasts. As he left, Gladion revealed that something must be trying to break into their world through the wormholes.

In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Gladion arrived at [[Po Town]]. There, he was attacked by the Team Skull Admin, [[Plumeria]], who wanted to see if Gladion was skilled enough to be an Enforcer. Though Gladion proved himself, his negative attitude angered Plumeria to the point where she refused to accept him as a true member of Team Skull. When Plumeria told Gladion to follow her, Gladion complied, but was momentarily distracted when a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} jumped past him.

In ''[[PASM19|Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull]]'', Gladion appeared at Po Town to battle the Ultra Beasts that Guzma summoned with the {{p|Cosmog}} he received from the [[Aether Foundation]]. Gladion revealed Guzma was being used by the Aether Foundation president, [[Lusamine]], so she could create a paradise for herself and the Ultra Beasts she covets. Guzma rejected Gladion's accusation, but was captured by a {{p|Nihilego}} and dragged into a wormhole. The other Ultra Beasts escaped from Po Town's barriers, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of [[Ula'ula Island]]. When the Captains asked Gladion how they could help, Gladion refused to help and said they wouldn't be of any use before riding off with Type: Null.

In ''[[PASM22|The Truth and Island Kahuna Hapu]]'', Gladion, [[Professor Kukui]], [[Molayne]], [[Sophocles]], and [[Acerola]] fought off a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} at {{rt|10|Alola}} to prevent them from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], which was being used as a shelter for those caught up in the Ultra Beasts' rampage. While Type: Null easily defeated Celesteela, Gladion was momentarily distracted when [[Lillie]] appeared and called out to him. Taking the opportunity, Guzzlord leapt in to attack Lillie, only to be easily swatted away by Type: Null, who [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Silvally}} while doing so. Lillie revealed that three months ago, she stole [[Nebby]] and ran away from [[Aether Paradise]] after Lusamine tried to use Nebby's power for her own goals. When Lillie revealed she also stole a [[Sun Flute]] from Lusamine, Gladion decided that they should head towards the [[Poni Altar]].

In ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]'', Gladion and Lillie traveled through [[Poni Island]]. Gladion revealed he planned on getting the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} to help him destroy the Ultra Beasts. As they traveled, a {{p|Xurkitree}} appeared and attacked them. Gladion and Silvally fought Xurkitree, but Nebby flew out of his hands and met with another {{p|Cosmoem}}. After Xurkitree was defeated, Lillie and Gladion met with Sun and [[Hapu]]. They learned that the Sun and [[Moon Flute]]s were a pair meant to played at the Poni Altar. The guardian deities of Alola appeared and took Sun and both flutes to the Poni Altar while Lillie, Gladion, and Hapu chased after them.

In ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', Gladion and Lillie helped [[Anabel]] corner and capture [[Faba]]. At the Altar, Gladion and the others found that Sun and Moon managed to evolve Nebby and the other Cosmoem into Lunala and Solgaleo, respectively. Anabel received a call from {{adv|Looker}}, who told her that a large number of Ultra Beasts made their way to Poni Island. While Moon, Gladion, Anabel, and Hapu fought off the beasts, Solgaleo was possessed by a {{p|Necrozma}} that appeared from a wormhole. Necrozma grabbed Sun and dragged him into the wormhole, forcing Moon and Lunala to chase after them.

Six months later, in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', Lusamine disappeared while Faba had managed to take control of the Aether Foundation, running it like a dictatorship. At the [[Aether House]], [[Wicke]] told Gladion and Lillie that Lusamine was found on Poni Island playing with a group of Ultra Beasts. Gladion suggested going to get Lusamine, but was told to stay behind as he hadn't fully recovered from the injuries he sustained from being exposed to the energy from Silvally's Evolution. Wicke decided the best option was for her to return to Aether Paradise and gather information before making their next move.

In ''[[PASM31|Ray of Light!! Through the Crack in the Sky!]]'', Lillie told Gladion that their father, [[Mohn]], was still alive in Alola somewhere. Hoping that telling Lusamine the information would convince her to return to her old self, Lillie decided to go and meet with their mother. Before Lillie left, Gladion suggested she do so dressed in the clothes she picked for herself, not the ones Lusamine picked for her.

Later, Gladion traveled to Aether Paradise, where he found Moon locked in a cell after Faba captured her. After freeing her, Gladion and Moon confronted Faba, telling him that his plans were over. Faba retaliated by tricking [[Ryuki]] into battling Gladion and Moon, buying him enough time to try and escape. Gladion allowed Moon to use Silvally in place of her actual Pokémon, which were taken by Faba and hidden away. While Gladion kept Ryuki busy, Moon went ahead to retrieve her Pokémon and make medicine for Gladion's injuries. After taking down Ryuki's first Pokémon, Gladion called off the battle, revealing Faba was using it as a distraction so he could flee. Once he learned others were fighting the Ultra Beasts elsewhere in Alola, Ryuki ran off to join them. When Silvally returned, Moon was absent, having gone elsewhere with Lunala. Gladion then left to stop Faba from escaping, only to find the man cornered by Sun's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], who aimed to make Faba pay for his crimes. Faba's intense fear attracted several Nihilego that emerged from a nearby wormhole. Gladion and Cent were forced to watch as Faba was dragged into the wormhole, his fear turning into happiness as he was affected by the Nihilego's neurotoxins.

Months later, Gladion teamed up with [[Dulse]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] to traverse through Ultra Space and rescue Faba. Ryuki chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.

==Trivia==
* Gladion shares some similarities with {{ga|Silver}}: both are [[rival]]s who stole their first Pokémon, are children of main antagonists and are initially cold to those around them until they go through character development and become warmer to others.
* Only in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if the [[player character]] picks Litten as their [[first partner Pokémon]], Gladion's Lucario will be level 55 during the battle at Mount Lanakila, while it will be level 53 if either Rowlet or Popplio was chosen.

==Names==
The Japanese names of all important members of the [[Aether Foundation]] and the members of [[Lusamine]]'s family are based on German words for plants.

'''Hau''' (Japanese: '''ハウ''' ''Hau'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He is the grandson of the [[island kahuna]] for [[Melemele Island]], [[Hala]]. He serves as one of the player's [[friend]]s and [[rival]]s in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Hau is a young, big-hearted boy that quickly becomes the {{player}}'s friend as soon as they move to the [[Alola]] [[region]]. At the start of the story, the Pokémon loving boy is often laidback and enjoys Pokémon battles for fun, but over the course of his [[island challenge]], he begins to feel more serious. Hau has a huge appeite, especially for Alola's famous [[Pokémon food#Local specialties|local specialty]], [[malasada]], always looking for nearby malasada shops. Hau is typically excited about the Pokémon, people and locations he finds, stating that he took the island challenge the moment he had the chance to.<ref>'''Hau''': "''Yeah, I took the first chance I had to join in the island challenge once I turned 11!''" ({{game4|SMUSUM}})</ref> He loves Pokémon battles and battles the player at almost any opportunity, but remembers to heal up the player's [[party]] before any begin. Hau often means well, but his sense of curiosity and excitement can irritate others and cause himself to struggle in certain actions and consequences. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Hau (Masters)|his character]] description claims that he's often optimistic and his smile can be infectious.<ref>''"An optimist whose constant smiling is infectious, he loves malasadas and fun. He takes Pokémon battles where Trainers are in sync with their Pokémon very seriously."'' ([[Pokémon Masters EX]])</ref> Hau has a sense of humor that others such as [[Lillie]] may not respond to very well. In response, this has lead to playful name calling, telling Lillie that she is a "stick in the sand."

Over the course of the [[Alola]]-based games, despite knowing that its okay to have fun with Pokémon battles, Hau begins to take his strength and training more seriously. All of Hau's Pokémon battles with the player can be lost without consequences of losing with the story progressing in either direction, with exception of his final battle in either game, where the player must win to progress. Hau learns from the player and [[Gladion]] and trains with his grandfather, [[Hala]], who provides Hau with a [[Z-Ring]] partway through the story. Hau takes great notice of his strength, wishing to get better to help others when necessary. He enjoys the company of his friends, the player and [[Lillie]], who he travels with throughout the story.

Hau lives in [[Iki Town]] on [[Melemele Island]]. His currently known relatives include his grandfather, [[Hala]], the [[island kahuna|kahuna]] of the island, who he lives with. He affectionately calls Hala ''"Tutu."'' One of the villagers in [[Iki Town]], where they live, comments that as a boy, Hau had once witnessed Hala in a rage, which frightened him to the point of tears. Nothing Hala did could comfort him, which he claims is the reason why Hala is "too soft" on Hau. Both of Hau's parents are mentioned but go unnamed. Hau mentions that his father is not in Alola, and is likely on his own adventure, presumably in [[Kanto]], with context saying that he will look for him and Lillie across the [[Pokémon world|world]] after he asks the player about the region (to which Lillie left to, and the player is from).<ref>'''Hau''': ''"All right! Then it's decided! I'm gonna get stronger and stronger, and then I'm gonna travel the world with my Pokémon! I'm gonna go find Lillie! And my dad, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

===Appearance===
[[File:Hau SM concept art.png|thumb|left|250px|Hau is big-hearted and constantly has a smile on his face]]
Hau is a young Alolan boy at around the age of 11. Hau has long dark green hair that he keeps tied up in a ponytail. His bangs are pulled back and two side bangs fall down to chin length. He wears two orange hair clips on the top of his head on opposite sides. This hair style gives him some resemblance to his grandfather, [[Hala]], who wears his hair in a similar way. Hau has rounded eyes with no distinct eyelashes, his irises being completely black, leaving only a white glare in them.

Hau's outfit remains consistent throughout the whole game and between versions. He wears a large, slightly baggy black t-shirt with short sleeves that end at his elbows. His shirt's collar is white that goes all the way around his collar bone, this collar is slightly larger than it looks, and has an orange button on the front to make it smaller, leaving a smaller open loop. Hau wears large orange swim trunks, ending at his knees. The shorts have a floral decoration to them, leaving darker red-orange leaves and white flowers, this pattern is reminiscent of the Pokémon, {{p|Florges}}. Hau wears a pair of orange sandals, the same color as the darker orange flowers. The shoes are mainly open, but cover the toes, and has a singular strap that wrap around his ankles. He has a round orange multi-layered backpack that is the same colors as his pants, a light orange handle connects to the top of it. Two white zippers connect to the largest opening, and a single white zipper connects to a smaller opening. The middle has a darker orange divider going through the middle. Darker orange streaks go around his shoulders like a schoolbag and connect to the bottom.

Hau's only difference in design between versions is that he wears a white [[Z-Ring]] created by Hala on his left wrist in Sun and Moon, while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, he wears a black [[Z-Power Ring]] instead.

===[[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version]]===
In the Special Demo, Hau appears as part of the story. After the {{player}}, [[Elio (game)|Sun]], arrives in Hau'oli City, he introduces himself. In the Tourist Bureau, Sun's mother suggests that they take a look around the city's shopping district. Sun and Hau then get into a fight with Team Skull. After which, Hau directs the player to a [[Pokémon Center]] where he provides the player with a [[Super Potion]].

On Sunday nights, Hau will appear near the Malasada Shop.

===[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]===
[[File:Sun Moon Hau.png|thumb|right|150px|Hau's appearance from {{g|Sun and Moon}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
====Background and pre-game====
'''Website blurb:''' ''"Hau is a Pokémon-loving young boy with a big appetite! He's the same age as your character. When you move to the Alola region, he makes friends with you right away. He has a real weakness for malasada, a famous treat in the Alola region, and he is always in search of malasada shops. He is a big-hearted boy who really loves Pokémon."''

====On Melemele Island====
Hau first meets the player after they have chosen their [[first partner Pokémon]], revealing that he already has one. Hau will challenge the player using the first partner Pokémon weak to that of the player's choice. Upon losing, he quickly shrugs off his defeat as he says that he is having fun. Hau's happy-go-lucky attitude affects most of his early {{pkmn|battle}}s as he didn't mind losing and just wants to enjoy his adventure. He embarks on the [[island challenge]] at the same time as the player, and completes the challenges at around the same pace. He travels along with the player, [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] through Melemele Island. After the player goes through the {{al|Trainers' School}}, Hau brings the player and Lillie to [[Hau'oli City]], where he helps the player upgrade their [[Rotom Pokédex]] with the Poké Finder at the Alola Tourist Bureau. After this, the group of three meet back up and take group picture using Rotom Dex's new feature. While Hau does most of his trials at around the same time as the player, he tends to relax first, preferring to explore cities such as local shops first, often doing his trials and tasks after the player. In Sun and Moon, Hau rides on the boat with the player, Lillie and Professor Kukui to [[Heahea City]] on [[Akala Island]], showing exciting of reaching a new location and wanting to hurry. In contrast to Lillie, he tends to take things less serious.

====On Akala Island====
Hau occasionally meets up with the player throughout Akala Island, doing the same trials as them. He frequently asks the player to battle with them, such as in [[Paniola Town]], where he tells them how he wishes to be strong like his grandfather, who has provided him with a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}} of his own. The two travel to {{rt|5|Alola}} and have another encounter with [[Team Skull]], this time with another member by the name of [[Gladion]]. Gladion defeats Hau in battle, telling Hau that his Pokémon aren't weak, but Hau doesn't tend to take things too seriously, irritating Gladion. Hau meets up with the player again at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], along with Gladion who once again, have conflicting thoughts on Pokémon battles. Hau makes it back to [[Heahea City]] catching up with the main group at [[Professor Burnet]]'s Dimensional Research Lab and walks with the player through [[Diglett's Tunnel]] to meet up with [[Olivia]] for his grand trial. Sometime along the way [[Faba]] from the [[Aether Foundation]] invites Hau to go with the player to [[Aether Paradise]]. Hau invites Lillie with them, who rejects and chooses to watch Hau's grand trial with Olivia instead. At Akala Island's sea port, he seems impressed the man-made island of [[Aether Paradise]] and is excited to talk about it with the player.

====Tour of Aether Paradise====
On the tour through Aether Paradise, Hau meets [[Wicke]], who recognizes that he is a trial-goer at the age of 11. Meeting up with [[Lusamine]], at the conservation area, he converses with her and the player about how cruel nature can truly and it's the job of the Aether Foundation to protect Pokémon without harming the natural course. Hau is shocked to hear from Lusamine that she is over forty years old. Lusamine makes the quick comment that the right outfit can make someone look much better. Hau makes an off-handed statement that nobody could probably pull off the president's looks, except for Lillie, invoking a non-verbal response in Lusamine. An [[Ultra Wormhole]] appears in front of the group and out comes an [[Ultra Beast]], Hau tells the player to fight and distract {{p|Nihilego|the creature}} as he protects Lusamine from harm. Afterwards, Lusamine tells Wicke to bring them back on their island challenge and boat them to [[Ula'ula Island]].

====On Ula'ula Island====
On the island of Ula'ula, Hau meets up with Kukui and the player at [[Malie Garden]], who tells them that their next trial is on top of [[Mount Hokulani]] at the [[Hokulani Observatory]]. Hau does not seem to recognize what an observatory is, but is excited to find out. He splits paths with the player, preferring to find other things to do before challenging the trial. He does his trial off-screen, meeting up with the player again at {{rt|13|Alola}}, where they butt heads once again with Gladion. Gladion tells them both that if they know about a Pokémon by the name of {{p|Cosmog}}, they should keep it safe at all costs, as it could bring disaster to the Alola region. Hau starts to worry if Lillie is going to be okay. Hau and Lillie stay at the [[Aether House]] for the time being while the player does their trial and saves a {{p|Yungoos}} at [[Po Town]]. While the player is gone, Aether House is raided by Team Skull, Hau manages to win a battle against a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}, but says that battles he can't afford to lose aren't any fun. Before the player returns, Hau loses a critical battle against Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]] when she and her grunts kidnaps Lillie, and is left depressed and in doubt of his own skills because of this. He feels weak for being unable to save Lillie, who in turn, willingly went with Team Skull to protect Hau, [[Nebby]], and any children involved. Gladion overhears this conversation, and berates both Hau and the player for being unable to protect Nebby and Lillie, telling them to go to Aether Paradise with him.

====Rescue at Aether Paradise====
Hau joins the player and Gladion in their attempt to rescue Lillie and Nebby from the Aether Foundation. Although he starts to doubt about himself and at first hesitates to accompany them because he would probably feel like a burden. During the infiltration in Aether Paradise, he is constantly irritated by Gladion's orders and lack of explaining, both constantly end up arguing. He goes with the player to Secret Lab B to learn more about Cosmog. Hau manages to take down several {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s with Gladion and the player before reaching Lillie, glad to hear that she is unharmed. He ends up surprised when Lusamine reveals that Lillie and Gladion were her children. Lusamine attempts to open up [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola using the captured Nebby. At this time, Gladion orders Hau to keep [[Guzma]] busy while he deals with the recently arrived {{p|Nihilego}}, but Lusamine and Guzma manage to achieve their objective and escape.

The group takes rest at Aether Paradise for the night, under the protection of Wicke. The following morning, Lillie takes on a new appearance, to which Hau compliments her new look. In parallel to Lillie, who wishes to change herself, Hau expresses his intention to hold back the island challenge and train himself with Hala instead. After everything that happened, Hau has realized how weak he is, especially when compared to the player or Gladion. So he must get his act together if he wants to achieve his goals. Hau stops his journey and island challenge and sets out to train with Hala.

====Ending====
When the player is about to enter the {{al|Pokémon League}} building, Hau catches up to them and challenges the player to another battle to decide who will face the league first. This time, Hau takes the fight more seriously and asks the player to use all their strength. Upon losing, Hau reveals that this time he really wanted to beat the player and reaffirms his determination to get even stronger. He finally takes battles more seriously. Hau says goodbye to the player and spurs them on for his Pokémon League challenge. The day after the player becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, Hau decides to spend time with the player and everyone else at the festival. The following day, Hau runs into the player's house, telling them about a disaster and that the two of them need to go to the Hau'oli's Marina immediately. As it turns out, Lillie is leaving for [[Kanto]] without having been able to say it to either the player or Hau, who is devastated by this. Hau tells her that he will write the biggest of letters for when she leaves, and in response, Lillie offers Hau an unknown present. Hau, the player and Kukui say goodbye to Lillie as she takes off on the back of the ferry, leaving Hau in tears. The group of three sit down, and Hau talks about his emotions, Kukui saying that it is okay, and it's best to give people one last smile as they leave. Professor Kukui takes the two kids home back to their parents.
[[File:SM Ending Screen 1.png|thumb|right|250px|Hau and his grandfather in Sun and Moon's credits]]

In the credits sequence, Hau can be seen in two different photographs. The first of his photographs shown, and the first one to appear as a whole, has Hau using {{p|Tauros}} [[Poké Ride|Charge]], having a race with his grandfather and Tapu Koko. The second photograph has him pictured alongside the player and Lillie in Hau'oli City, being the one that the three of them took at the start of their journey. The last of the images are shown after the credits. The photograph is shown as part of an opened package sent to Lillie with other photographs and a letter with imagery drawn on it. The words "The End" slowly appears on screen.

====In the post-game====
At the start of the post-game, Hau appears at the [[player's house]] to give them the [[Z-Crystal]]s to the first partner Pokémon they didn't choose at the start of the game, saying that he got them as rewards after having finally had a serious battle with his grandfather. After asking the player and their {{al|mom}} about Kanto, he decides to train hard to one day travel there to find both Lillie and his father, who is a strong Trainer who had hated being the son of a kahuna and thus had moved out of Alola. Hau also warns that he will try to beat the player and snatch them their Champion title, now that he is strong enough. Afterwards, Hau can be found at Iki Town, training a pair of reformed Team Skull Grunts in Alolan {{wp|sumo}}.

Hau is one of the possible NPCs who can [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|challenge the player for the title of Champion]], implying that he has completed all his island trials. He will always be the first challenger to appear after the player has defeated the [[Elite Four]] for the second time. There, Hau has achieved everything he wanted, but he warns that he still has an opponent to defeat, the player.
{{-}}
===[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]===
'''Website blurb:''' ''"Hau is a boy who becomes your friend as soon as you move to Alola. He’s the same age as you. Hau is known to be a laid-back guy, but through the island challenge, he will come to terms with his reasons for participating in Pokémon battles."''

After the player has obtained their first partner Pokémon from Professor Kukui on {{rt|1|Alola}}, Hau will appear and choose his own first partner Pokémon from the remaining two (which is always the one weak to the player's choice) before challenging the player into their first Trainer battle. When his grandfather shows up late in Iki Town, Hau berates him for his lateness. After the player has defeated Hala, instead of boarding Kukui's boat, Hau will invite the player to [[Mantine Surf|ride Mantine]] to Akala Island.

On Ula'ula Island, Hau will give the player a [[Lycanium Z]] after battling them after their arrival on the island. After the player defeats Guzma at Malie Garden, Guzma notices Hau and tells him that he shouldn't take the island challenge just because he's a kahuna's grandson. After the Aether Paradise incident, Hau realizes that he keeps failing to protect those he cares about, and becomes even more determined to become stronger.

When {{p|Necrozma}} fuses with [[Nebby]] during the game's climax and [[Ultra Beast]]s start appearing around Alola, Hau and Hala are seen coming face to face with a {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Mahalo Trail]]. Hala chooses to entrust the battle to his grandson, who is soon joined in the battle by {{p|Tapu Koko}}. After the Necrozma crisis is over and the player starts taking on [[Mina]]'s trial, the player encounters Hau and his fully evolved first partner Pokémon at [[Hau'oli Cemetery]], also taking on Mina's trial. He then tells the player that they should have a serious battle once they're both done with their island challenge. Later during Mina's trial, he also shows up outside the Aether House, encountering the player and Guzma there. He encourages Guzma to become something no one's ever been before, before giving the player one last warning of their upcoming serious battle. After the player has cleared Mina's trial, Hala will show up and reveal that he and Hau had finally had an all-out battle, in which Hau had managed to defeat his grandfather.

After the player has defeated the Elite Four, instead of Professor Kukui challenging them to test the player's worthiness, Hau will appear to face the player as their final challenger at the Pokémon League to determine the Alola region's first Champion. This time, Hau takes the fight much more seriously and asks the player to use all their strength. He also once again appears in the Title Defense battles, now being the strongest possible challenger.

During the post-game, Hau will accompany the player to [[Poni Grove]] to help the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] deal with a group of Blacephalon{{sup/7|US}}/Stakataka{{sup/7|UM}} that have appeared there. Regardless of how the player fares against the Ultra Beasts, Hau eventually manages to catch one, giving it to the Ultra Recon Squad for research purposes.

After the Ultra Beast incident at Poni Grove has been solved, Hau can be found at Iki Town, going through the memories of his island challenge with his first partner Pokémon. The Z-Crystals he gave to the player in Sun and Moon are now obtained from Hala instead.

===Pokémon===
Hau's team slightly differs based on the player's [[first partner Pokémon]] choice. He chooses the first partner Pokémon that is weak to the player's first partner Pokémon, while his {{p|Eevee}} evolves into the [[Eeveelution]] with a type advantage over the player's chosen first partner Pokémon. As seen throughout Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, he tends to release his Alola first partner from its [[Poké Ball]], and mentions it by name frequently as the story progresses.

While Hau has an Alola first partner Pokémon that evolves over time and is seen in every battle, he also has a {{p|Pichu}} that also evolves over time. This Pichu eventually evolves into an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}. Raichu is seen in numerous other pieces of media and cross-canon counterparts, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], {{aniseries|SM}}, and [[Pokémon Masters EX]], being seen as his main partner. In his second battle and onward, Pichu, {{p|Pikachu}} or Raichu can be seen participating in all battles involving Hau.

Hau owns a {{p|Tauros}} in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, which has also made appearances outside the core series, such as Pokémon Masters EX. In Sun and Moon's end credits, a Tauros can be seen ridden on by Hau in a photograph. In this image, Hau is wearing Ride Gear and Tauros is wearing gear itself that resembles the same one used by the player for [[Poké Ride]], implying that this Tauros was summoned through the Ride Pager.

The player will not [[black out]] in battles against Hau and the story will progress regardless of the outcome, except for battles taking place at [[Mount Lanakila]]{{sup/7|SM}} or the [[Pokémon League (Alola)|Pokémon League]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Hau anime.png|thumb|250px|Hau in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
Hau debuted in ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]'', where he and his father had just returned to [[Alola]] after a long time away. He was {{pkmn|training}} with {{p|Dartrix}}, only for its attacks to accidentally hit {{Ash}}, {{Rotom}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Hau became excited upon seeing Ash's [[Z-Ring]] and asked if he had taken part in [[Hala]]'s grand trial. Hau then had a {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash, using Dartrix against {{AP|Rowlet}}. Hau ended up winning when Ash dropped his [[Grassium Z]]. Ash suggested they have another battle, but Hau was about to have a meeting with his father, so he declined but promised to meet up the next day for a [[rematch]]. The next day, they conducted their rematch after Rowlet learned how to use {{m|Seed Bomb}}, but it was still not enough to defeat it. In a last-ditch effect, Ash and Rowlet performed the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Bloom Doom}}, which was able to defeat Dartrix.
[[File:Ash and Hau.png|thumb|left|250px|Hau and Ash]]
In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Hau caught up with Ash and met {{ashcl}} for the [[Manalo Conference]]. He later assisted in the battle against [[Team Skull]], defeating [[Rapp]] and her {{p|Zubat}}.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Hau competed in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the Manalo Conference with his {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}} and was able to progress to the Top 16. The match-ups revealed that he would be battling [[Samson Oak]]. In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Hau went up against Samson in the first round of the Manalo Conference. He used his Raichu against Samson's Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} and eventually won, advancing to the second round.

In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', Hau approached Ash with his Decidueye upon learning that they would be battling each other in the next round of the Manalo Conference. In ''[[SM132|Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!]]'', Hau went to search for Ash, who was late for their battle due to his training with Rowlet. After finding him and making it to the battlefield with him, Hau and Ash began their battle. During the battle, Decidueye was able to dodge Rowlet's Bloom Doom, before using its own Z-Move, {{m|Sinister Arrow Raid}}, which was barely avoided by Rowlet. The battle concluded in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]'' after Decidueye was defeated by Rowlet's {{m|Brave Bird}}, thus eliminating Hau from the tournament. Though he congratulated Ash for his victory, Hau was left dismayed by his loss, but he was comforted by Hala, who complimented him for the battle.

From ''[[SM135|The Final Four!]]'' to ''[[SM137|The Wisdom Not to Run!]]'', Hau watched the battles between {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Gladion}}, and Ash and [[Guzma]]. He then reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]''.

In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Hau attended the award ceremony for the Manalo Conference victor, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. In [[SM140|the following episode]], Hau helped evacuate innocent civilians to safety, only for another, {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} to emerge from another wormhole at the shopping area. By combining their Z-Moves, Hau, Gladion, Kiawe, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Mallow}} managed to successfully knock the Shiny Guzzlord back into [[Ultra Space]].

From ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' to ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', Hau watched the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} between Ash and {{an|Professor Kukui}} alongside Decidueye.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Hau was briefly seen battling [[Nanu]] in the [[Ula'ula Island]] grand trial, though the outcome of the battle wasn't shown.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Hau and Decidueye watched the [[Battle Royal]] match between Ash, Kukui, {{an|Gladion}}, and {{an|Kiawe}}.

====Character====
Hau is an energetic young {{pkmn|Trainer}} keen to take on the [[Island challenge]]. His inexperience showed during his debut appearance in ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]'', where he was confident though lacked direction in his battle style. Hau's focus and ability to foresee his opponent's strategy had improved by the eve of the [[Manalo Conference]], which enabled him to advance to the Top 8 before he was defeated by {{Ash}} in their match in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]''. He is still learning to cope with defeat, though quickly calms himself down. He also values the experience of others as inspiration, especially {{Ash}} and his grandfather [[Hala]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Hau Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Hau in Pokémon Adventures]]
Hau debuted in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]''. He first appeared as a participant at an [[Iki Town]] festival tournament.

In ''[[PASM05|The Announcement and the Prize]]'', Hau faced [[Gladion]] in the first round. During their battle, Gladion asked why Hau joined the tournament and assumed he wanted to surpass his grandfather [[Hala]]. When Hau replied that he thought it would be fun, Gladion called him weak and won the {{pkmn|battle}}.

In ''[[PASM16|A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart]]'', Hau met [[Ilima]] at the [[Melemele Island]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] and requested to join him and the other [[Trial Captain]]s in confronting [[Team Skull]] at their hideout in [[Po Town]]. Hau wanted to meet [[Guzma]], who was a student of Hala's, but ended up believing that only victories mattered in battles. After Ilima accepted, Hau went off to buy [[malasada]]s, as he believed that with food, everyone might get along easier. Later that day, Hau and Ilima met with [[Lana]], [[Kiawe]], [[Mallow]], and [[Acerola]] at Po Town. Their presence alerted Guzma, who demanded to know why his base was being invaded. When Hau and the Captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first. He then summoned a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}}; and had them attack Hau and the Captains. Despite their best efforts, Hau and the others were completely outmatched by the rampaging [[Ultra Beast]]s.

In ''[[PASM18|Confusion and Monsters from Another World]]'', {{adv|Sun}} arrived at Po Town, only to get caught up in the commotion. Annoyed Hau and the Captains were still fighting, Guzma revealed a {{p|Cosmog}} and had it open more [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Gladion appeared, demanding to know where Guzma got the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. Revealing his true aim is to destroy Ultra Beasts, Gladion battled the beasts Guzma summoned with his {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}. To everyone's shock, Gladion also revealed the [[Aether Foundation]]'s president, [[Lusamine]], was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the Ultra Beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc across [[Ula'ula Island]].

Six months later in ''[[PASM32|Shock!! Father in the Pendant!]]'', Hau traveled to [[Exeggutor Island]], where the Trial Captains and [[island kahuna]]s had been {{pkmn|training}} in preparation to face the Ultra Beasts. Despite Hala initially refusing to let him join the others in training, Hau requested to participate in the battle to protect Alola, revealing that he had been training by himself while traveling around Alola and unknowingly obtained a [[Sparkling Stone]], which was made into a [[Z-Ring]] by [[Olivia]]. Seeing the Z-Ring and Hau's determination, Hala agreed to train his grandson.

Hau was taken to [[Resolution Cave]], where he sparred with Hala until his {{p|Brionne}} evolved into a {{p|Primarina}}. After finishing their training, Hala decided they should join the others on [[Mount Lanakila]], only to be interrupted by a battle between {{p|Tapu Fini}} and a {{p|Buzzwole}}. After learning the others were also battling the Ultra Beasts, Hau and Hala teamed up to assist Tapu Fini.

Several months later, Hau decided to open a malasada and Tapu Cocoa shop. He was assisted by a reformed Guzma and received recipe tips from [[Mallow]].

==In the TCG==
[[File:HauGuardiansRising144.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Hau]]
{{main|Hau (Sun & Moon 120)}}
'''Hau''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Sun & Moon Starter Set}} with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], the Hau card later debuted in English in the {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} expansion. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Cheren|91}} from the {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion and {{TCG ID|Kalos Starter Set|Tierno|39}} of {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Hau allows the player to draw three cards from their deck. Hau was also featured on the [[Friends in Alola (SM-P Promo 401)|Friends in Alola]] card included in the {{TCGMerch|Sun & Moon|Era|Limited Collection Master Battle Set}}, which has the same effect.

'''Hala''' (Japanese: '''ハラ''' ''Hala'') is a character introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. He is the grandfather of [[Hau]] and the [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and grants the [[Trainer Card (game)#Stamps|Melemele stamp]] to Trainers who defeat him. In Sun and Moon, he also becomes a member of the [[Alola]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
As kahuna of [[Melemele Island]], Hala is considered one of the island's strongest {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. [[Hau]] is his grandson.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Hala gives the {{player}} their [[first partner Pokémon]]. The next day, he leads a ceremony celebrating the beginning of the player and Hau's careers as Pokémon Trainers. The player eventually battles him in the grand trial of the Melemele [[island challenge]].

When [[Ultra Wormhole]]s begin appearing across [[Alola]], Hala encounters UB-02 {{p|Buzzwole|Absorption}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Pheromosa|Beauty}}{{sup/7|M}}. Before he can send out a Pokémon to battle, {{p|Tapu Koko}} appears to battle the [[Ultra Beast]]. Hala agrees to work together with the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]], and together, they fend off the intruder.

Later, Hala is re-encountered at the newly founded Alola {{al|Pokémon League}}, having been invited by [[Professor Kukui]] to be a member of the [[Elite Four]].

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Hala's role is slightly altered. The player now receives their first partner Pokémon from Professor Kukui instead, although they still technically belong to Hala. When Ultra Beasts start appearing in Alola, Hala comes face to face with a {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}}, but this time, he's accompanied by Hau, and decides to leave the fight to his grandson, who is soon joined by Tapu Koko.

At the Pokémon League, Hala's position as an Elite Four member is instead taken up by [[Molayne]]. Despite this, Hala can still be challenged to a [[rematch]] once during the post-game. Upon defeating him in the rematch, Hala will award the player with the two [[Z-Crystal]]s for the final Evolutions of the other two Alolan first partner Pokémon that the player did not pick at the beginning of the game.

===Pokémon===
Hala's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
[[File:Hala anime.png|thumb|250px|Hala in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
As revealed in ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Hala was once {{an|Professor Kukui}} and [[Guzma]]'s mentor. He attempted to keep the peace between the pair, but Guzma became disillusioned with Hala's teachings and decided to become strong on his own without using a [[Z-Ring]] or [[Z-Crystal]]s.

Hala debuted in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', where he was revealed to be the one who made the Z-Ring that {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} gave to {{Ash}} in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. He tasked Ash with finding a nonviolent way to drive out a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}}. After Ash gave him the answer, he led Ash to [[Verdant Cavern]], a trial site inhabited by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}}, so that Ash could start his [[island challenge]]. Following Ash's victory, he became qualified to take on Hala's grand trial.

In ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', Hala was Ash's opponent in his Melemele grand trial. After a tough battle, Ash emerged victorious. Hala was about to give Ash a [[Fightinium Z]] as a reward, but suddenly, Tapu Koko swooped in and swapped it with an [[Electrium Z]], which Hala gave to Ash instead.

In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Hala informed Ash and {{ashcl}} of the legend of {{p|Solgaleo}} and the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', he attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet}}.

In ''[[SM060|Getting a Jump on the Competition!]]'', Hala visited [[Mount Lanakila]], where he and his {{p|Crabrawler}} battled a {{p|Sneasel}} and won, allowing Crabrawler to evolve into {{p|Crabominable}}. Later, along with Crabominable, he entered the [[Pokémon Sled Jump Games]] and won.

He reappeared in the [[Poké Problem]] segment of [[SM079]], where he was watching a {{p|Minior}} shower with Hariyama.
[[File:Hala younger anime.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Hala]]
In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Hala and Hariyama watched the battle between {{an|Lunala}} and {{an|Necrozma}}. Because of Necrozma's presence, he became tired and lacked motivation, but he was eventually restored when Necrozma disappeared. He later prayed at the Ruins of Conflict while he waited for the [[Manalo Festival]] to begin. In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Hala joined the rest of Alola in restoring Necrozma to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}} by lending it some of his [[Z-Power]].

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]''.

In ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]'', Hala was working on a Z-Ring when {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Pheromosa}} arrived at his house. He and Hariyama attempted to battle it, but Pheromosa managed to steal his Fightinium Z before fleeing when the [[Ultra Guardians]] arrived on the scene.

In ''[[SM115|The Dealer of Destruction!]]'', Hala, his fellow kahunas, and {{an|Lusamine}} helped Professor Kukui reveal the [[Alola League]] to the public.

In ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess!]]'', {{an|Lillie}} visited Hala after she came across [[Mohn|her father]]'s Z-Ring, which he earned from the island kahuna himself years prior. She sought his permission to use the Z-Ring, and Hala accepted on one condition: that Lillie be able to perform a [[Z-Move]] with [[Snowy]]. Lillie took up the challenge, but the Z-Power failed to completely charge up. Even so, Hala was touched by Lillie's ambition to train hard and connect with her father. As a result, he allowed her to keep the Z-Ring temporarily.

In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Hala appeared in a flashback, where he defeated an {{tc|Ace Trainer}} while being watched by a young Professor Kukui.
[[File:Hala and Hau.png|250px|thumb|Hala and Hau]]
In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Hala appeared alongside his fellow kahunas, acting as a [[Battle judge|referee]] during the [[Battle Royal]] round of the [[Manalo Conference]]. In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Hala refereed the first pair of first-round matches: one between Ash and {{an|Faba}}, and the other between Guzma and [[Ilima]]—before watching Hau's match against [[Samson Oak]].

In ''[[SM132|Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!]]'', Hala watched the battle between Hau and Ash. In [[SM133|the next episode]], [[Nanu]] declared Hau the winner when Hau's {{p|Decidueye}} stood up after a clash with [[Ash's Rowlet]]. However, the verdict was overruled by Hala after he pointed out that Rowlet had fallen asleep instead of being knocked out. Hala later comforted Hau after the latter's loss to Ash. Afterwards, he refereed the battle between {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Then, from ''[[SM134|The Road to The Semifinals!]]'' to ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', he watched the rest of the battles in the stands for the remainder of the tournament. After the final battle ended, Hala attended the award ceremony for the winner, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through an [[Ultra Wormhole]].

In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Hala and the other island kahunas joined forces to battle Guzzlord. The guardian deities later came to their assistance, using their powers to keep Guzzlord in place long enough for Hala and the others to fire off their Z-Moves. The combined attacks launched Guzzlord back into the wormhole it came out of, successfully sending it back into [[Ultra Space]].

From ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' to ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', Hala refereed the {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} between Ash and Professor Kukui.

Hala appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]''.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Hala acted as the referee of Hau's grand trial battle against Nanu and his {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Hala hosted a party to welcome {{an|Lillie}} and her family back to Alola after they found Mohn. The next day, Hala watched a [[Battle Royal]] match between {{Ash}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Gladion}}, and {{an|Professor Kukui}}.

====Character====
Hala is a carefree individual. He is also respected for his knowledge, experience, and adherence to [[Alola]] traditions. As such, many characters often seek out Hala for advice, like {{an|Lillie}} in ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess!]]''. He holds his position of [[island kahuna]] with immense pride and uses it to instill patience within the younger generations.

===GOTCHA!===
Hala briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Hala Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Hala in Pokémon Adventures]]
Hala debuted in ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]''. He was first seen with his fellow kahunas, [[Olivia]] and [[Nanu]], at [[Malie Garden]], where they discussed the sightings of the [[guardian deities]] around Alola. They speculated that the normally reclusive guardian deities appearing before people must have been caused by them being angered by something.

In ''[[PASM03|Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui]]'', Hala refereed a {{pkmn|battle}} between Nanu and Olivia in order to test a stage to be used in an upcoming festival. During the battle, Nanu angered Olivia into using her [[Z-Power]]. When Nanu retaliated with his own [[Z-Move]], Hala interrupted the battle. The kahunas decided that they will use the festival to have Alolan youths battle against each other. The strongest participants would travel around Alola's four islands, imitating the [[island challenge]], in order to calm the guardian deities' rage.

In ''[[PASM04|The Final Match and a Surprising Finale!]]'', the Iki Town festival officially began. Once sundown had arrived, Hala referred the festival tournament alongside [[Samson Oak]].

In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', [[Professor Kukui]] received a call from Hala on his yacht as he transported {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}} to [[Akala Island]]. Hala talked to Sun, who had won the tournament, and revealed that the boy is now eligible to take part in the island challenge. Although Sun is initially reluctant to take part in the challenge due to needing to obtain a large sum of money, he immediately accepted once he is told that he would be paid for participating. Hala also revealed that he took Sun's [[Sparkling Stone]] so that he may work on it.

In ''[[PASM10|Defeat and the Commander of the School of Fish]]'', Hala was visited at his home by [[Kahili]], who he had requested return to Alola from abroad in order to aid in helping stop the guardian deities' rage. Kahili revealed that shortly after arriving in Alola, she began investigating Melemele Island and was attacked by a {{p|Buzzwole}} and {{p|Kartana}} at [[Melemele Meadow]]. While the two [[Ultra Beasts]] disappeared shortly after she tried fighting back, Kahili speculated that they may be the source of the guardian deities' rage. Eventually, Hala successfully turned Sun's Sparkling Stone into a [[Z-Ring]], which he gave to Kahili so that she may deliver it to Sun.

In ''[[PASM21|Thieving and Boss Crabominable]]'', Hala, Olivia, and Nanu met at Hala's house, where they decided to make [[Hapu]] the next kahuna of [[Poni Island]]. Afterward, Olivia and Nanu decided to head back to their respective islands to assist the [[Trial Captain]]s fend off the Ultra Beasts that appeared in Alola. Just before Nanu could open the door to leave, the Kartana and Buzzwole that had attacked Kahili before burst into the building. Olivia and Nanu offered to help Hala battle the two beasts, but he refused and told them to defend their islands instead.

In ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', the island kahunas and [[Trial Captain]]s were revealed to have spent six months on [[Exeggutor Island]] {{pkmn|training}} to prepare for another clash with the Ultra Beasts. Later, Hala was asked by [[Hau]] to participate in the battle to protect Alola. Though Hala had already refused a previous request, Hau revealed he had been training by himself while traveling around Alola and unknowingly obtained a Sparkling Stone, which was made into a Z-Ring by Olivia. Seeing the Z-Ring and Hau's determination, Hala agreed to train his grandson.

Hala took Hau to [[Resolution Cave]], where they sparred until Hau's {{p|Brionne}} evolved into a {{p|Primarina}}. After finishing their training, Hala decided they should join the others on [[Mount Lanakila]], only to be interrupted by a battle between {{p|Tapu Fini}} and a Buzzwole. After learning the others were also battling the Ultra Beasts, Hau and Hala teamed up to assist Tapu Fini.

===Pokémon Horizon===
Hala appeared in ''[[HOR04|Mastering the Z-Move!]]''. {{OBP|Akira|Horizon}} and [[Mana]] sought his help in order to grow stronger during their [[island challenge]], so he demonstrated them how to use a [[Z-Move]]. However, since Akira was unable to perform a Z-Move, Hala deduced that he wasn't one with nature yet and decided to put him through a trial: if he could make a {{p|Wimpod}} drop its guard and approach it without it running away, it'd be a sign that he had become one with nature. Once Akira had succeeded in the given task and successfully used a Z-Move against a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lucario}}, Hala declared that he had passed the trial.

Legendary Pokémon

Taupe: /* List of Legendary Pokémon */

:''"Legendary" and "Legend" redirect here. For other uses, see [[Legendary (disambiguation)]].''

'''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]].

====Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf====
{{main|Lake guardians}}
The lake guardians—{{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. They each represent the spirit of consciousness, with Uxie embodying knowledge, Mesprit embodying emotion, and 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.

<gallery class="c" heights="200" widths="200">

====Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina====
{{main|Pokémon of myth}}
{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. Each represents an aspect of universe: {{p|Dialga}} represents time, {{p|Palkia}} represents space, and {{p|Giratina}} represents antimatter.

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]].

===Generation V===
Nine additional Legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]], totaling 35 Legendary Pokémon in all. {{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.

====Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion====
{{main|Swords of Justice}}
The Swords of Justice—{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}—are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. 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}}.

====Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem====
{{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.

===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.

====Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde====
{{main|Aura trio}}
{{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are a trio of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kalos]] region. Xerneas and Yveltal are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|X and Y}}. 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 {{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. 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 {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Zygarde gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]], [[Zygardite]]. Mega Zygarde is said to have been born as a result of people's emotions during [[Ange#Hyperrogue Ange Floette|Hyperrogue Ange Floette]]'s final {{M|Light of Ruin|shot}} to destroy [[Lumiose City|Lumiose]], allowing Zygarde to stop it and calm the situation with its unmatched power.

===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 [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]].

====Type: Null and Silvally====
{{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.

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

====Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres====
Galarian {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are the [[Galarian form]]s of the [[legendary birds]]. They were {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Crown Tundra]] of the [[Galar]] region. The Galarian forms have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type, but they have a different primary type to their [[Kanto]]nian counterparts.

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.

The legendary heroes—{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}—are a duo of Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Galar]] region. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

According to legend, 3,000 years ago, a cataclysmic event known as the [[Darkest Day]] was caused by {{p|Eternatus}}'s awakening. Zacian and Zamazenta worked together to defend the region with the help of [[First kings of Galar|two human heroes]]. Together, they managed to take Eternatus down, forcing it back into another slumber, with Eternatus's defeat and the Darkest Day stopped, the two Legendary Pokémon retreated to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to return to their slumber, turning into statues while the two human heroes became Galar's new kings.

====Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier====
{{p|Calyrex}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, and {{p|Spectrier}} are three Legendary Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Crown Tundra]] of the [[Galar]] region. They were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]] for {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

Calyrex can take on one of two alternate forms by combining with Glastrier or Spectrier using the [[Reins of Unity]]. When riding Glastrier, it becomes Ice Rider Calyrex; when riding Spectrier, it becomes Shadow Rider Calyrex.

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. It was renowned for its graceful and regal movements.

In [[Hisui]], it and {{p|Landorus}} were worshipped as the gods of field and spring who brought life to the region and signaled the end of winter, hence its title as the "Herald of Spring". According to legend, while it is known to be kind with its love, it will not hesitate to punish those who disrespect life.

According to legend, these four Legendary Pokémon were once four ancient treasures, but were corrupted by negative human emotions. They came into the possession of an ancient king of Paldea. 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.

====Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti====
{{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.

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 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 600. 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==
===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.

==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 game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2024, at 14:00 UTC, through a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', released at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] was revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on September 12, 2025.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]], five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>'''NPC:''' "The incident with [[Team Flare]] five years ago sent shock waves through the whole of [[Kalos]]." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)</ref> A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.

Six months prior to the events of the game, the first instance of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], a phenomenon where Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] without a Trainer, occurs in Lumiose City. In the aftermath, Quasartico Inc., following words of advisement from [[AZ]], creates the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to find the strongest Mega Evolution user.

The {{player}} arrives in Lumiose City and is immediately introduced to [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who allows them to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]], guides them through a night of [[Z-A Royale]], and leads them to [[Hotel Z]], where the player officially becomes part of [[Team MZ]]. As the player rises through the ranks of Z-A Royale, they also are tasked with dealing with the instances of Rogue Mega Evolutions popping all throughout Lumiose City.

After the player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A, Team MZ attempts to quell [[Ange]], a special device built by AZ 2,000 years ago inside of [[Prism Tower]], which was improperly activated due to the previous usage of the [[ultimate weapon]]. Urbain/Taunie Mega Evolve {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} {{p|Floette}} in order to control Ange, but this works only momentarily, as the device turns into Hyperrogue Ange Floette, destroying Prism Tower in the process. The player, assisted by other Trainers they met in the Z-A Royale and {{p|Zygarde}} {{form|Zygarde|Complete Form}}, finally stop Ange, protecting Lumiose City from the threat of Rogue Mega Evolution.

After Ange has been stopped, AZ dies and together, the player and Urbain/Taunie together wish for an Infinite Z-A Royale. Eternal Flower Floette also goes under the care of Urbain/Taunie until they gift it to the player upon becoming the CEO of Quasartico when [[Jett]] steps down.
{{endspoilers}}


==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space which adapts various gameplay features from {{g|UNITE}}.

The similar features presented here along with new mechanics include precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and a [[cooldown]] feature in place of [[PP]], with a different length of time for each move. The moves now use precise button commands with the A, B, X, or Y buttons when locked on to a target, which can be customized.

[[Status move]]s that affects stats are now only limited to a one level change and will wear off after a short time, which the aura that it represents disappearing once the time limit is reached.

Unlike in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[held item]]s, including {{Berries}}, are present in the game.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch. The player is seen using modern {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

A new mechanic is featured where if the wild Pokémon runs out of HP, it will become briefly stunned, allowing the player a few seconds to catch it before it vanishes. If the catch fails, the wild Pokémon will vanish.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use both of the Pokémon that the player did not choose as their first partner.

Later in the story, Taunie/Urbain will invite the player to join [[Team MZ]], who aim to protect Lumiose City and have been tasked with battling the Rogue [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon running wild around the city.

===Rogue Mega Evolutions===
{{main|Rogue Mega Evolution}}
The battles against the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s use a similar system as the [[noble Pokémon]] battles from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The player has to dodge attacks from Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon in real time and launch attacks to deplete the Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon's health bar and cause them to drop orbs of Mega Power. Gathering Mega Power will fill its meter and allow the player to induce Mega Evolution on their own Pokémon. The meter will then slowly drain, but the player is able to gather more Mega Power to keep the meter from draining; the meter will enter a cooldown mode once it has been drained.

===Z-A Royale===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other Trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.

===New Pokémon and forms===
[[Eternal Flower Floette]] is available for the first time. Additionally, 26 Pokémon gained new [[Mega Evolution]]s, those being {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Excadrill}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{P|Eelektross}}, {{p|Chandelure}}, {{p|Chesnaught}}, {{p|Delphox}}, {{p|Greninja}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, {{p|Floette}} (exclusive to Eternal Flower Floette), {{p|Malamar}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Zygarde}} (exclusive to Complete Forme), {{p|Drampa}}, and {{p|Falinks}}.

===Pokémon mechanics===
[[Mega Evolution]] returns for the first time in a [[core series]] game since {{LGPE}}.

{{pkmn2|Wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]] make their return from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, behaving and looking similarly to as they did in that game.

{{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|breeding}}, and {{pkmn|Egg}}s are not available in this game.

===Connectivity===
The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility at some point in 2026. However, Pokémon caught or transferred to Pokémon Legends: Z-A cannot be sent to previous Nintendo Switch titles. Similar to previous Pokémon titles on the Nintendo Switch, only Pokémon available in this game can be transferred into it.

==Reception==
{{Outdated|section|needs=Newer sales data would be good}}
The game sold 5.80 million copies in its launch week.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-legends-z-a-has-super-effective-start-already-selling-5-8-million-copies/1100-6535676/ Pokemon Legends: Z-A Has Super-Effective Start, Already Selling 5.8 Million Copies - GameSpot]</ref>

==Version history==
The game file size for the download version is dependant on the system that the game is downloaded on, irrespective of the edition owned. In other words, downloading the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game on a [[Nintendo Switch 2]] will still consume the same amount of storage space as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack only consumes approximately 3 MB of additional space.<ref name="Nintendo eShop AU">https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/aocs/70050000058351</ref>

|'''Fixes Applied for the Following Issues'''
* If your Pokémon Boxes became full before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and the Boxes menu had not been opened at any point prior to being filled, Pokémon catch attempts would always fail. Additionally, if a side mission that allows you to receive Pokémon was attempted under these conditions, the mission would be completed without granting the Pokémon.
* In certain side missions, if the time of day switched between daytime and nighttime at the exact moment that a move hit its target, it became impossible to hit the target afterward, rendering the side mission incapable of being progressed further.
* In Trainer battles, if the opposing Trainer switched Pokémon and the player simultaneously activated Mega Evolution, the game may have become unplayable because the opposing Trainer failed to send out a new Pokémon.
* Other minor issues have also been fixed.

'''Ranked Battles Balance Adjustments'''
* To prevent points from decreasing based on match outcomes, points awarded according to ranking have been adjusted.
* Battle rewards have been partially increased and added to the rewards received after each match.
|
|}

If the physical Nintendo Switch version is played on a Nintendo Switch 2, then the patch downloads will also contain the data for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack, resulting in an extra 3.6 GB of data being downloaded. If the physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is inserted into the Switch 2 console instead, then the Upgrade Pack contents will not be downloaded, and the update files will only take up roughly 70 MB.

==Trivia==
* This is the first core series game:
** To be rated E10+ by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}}.
** To use real-time combat.
** To include letters from the Latin alphabet in its official Chinese name, as {{g|X and Y}} were never officially translated to Chinese.
** To have its [[Mega Dimension|DLC]] be revealed before the release of the base game and also the first instance of [[core series]] DLC releasing in the same calendar year as the base game.
** In which there is no way for the player to travel directly across water. Previous games featured methods such as {{m|Surf}} or [[Poké Ride]]. Instead, the player must use Pokémon moves to create bridges from ice.
** In which the main [[rival]] gets both [[first partner Pokémon]] that the player does not pick.
** Released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] family of systems to not give or get a [[save data bonus]].
** To receive an [[upgrade pack]] and accompanying [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition.
** In which a Pokémon can legitimately exceed [[level]] 100.
** In which {{p|Mewtwo}} is present without {{p|Mew}}.
* This is the first original core series game since {{B2W2}} to not introduce any new Pokémon species at the time of its release, and, if {{B2W2}} are counted as a single game, the second in the series overall.
* All Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] are in the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. No new Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IX]] appear in the game until the release of the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.
* With the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, every Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] is present in at least one of the Nintendo Switch core series games.
** Before this game, the {{p|Patrat}} [[evolution]]ary line, the [[elemental monkeys]] and {{p|Furfrou}} were the only remaining Pokémon to have not been present in a Nintendo Switch core series game.
** Despite this, the National Pokédex in [[Pokémon HOME]] still cannot be completed using the Nintendo Switch games alone, since {{p|Spinda}} cannot be moved in or out of {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to the [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|spot pattern glitches]] and therefore has to be [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]].
