#REDIRECT [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]]
A '''Legendary duo''' is a pair of closely related Pokémon, either representing teamwork or opposition. Much like how every region has a [[legendary trio]], every region also has a legendary duo. In the [[Pokémon games|games]], they are often found after the {{player}} gets past the [[Elite Four]] but often aren't as important in the main storyline as the trios are. Duos are featured in several of the [[movies]], either in their respective pairs, or on their own, as a keeper of peace.
 
==Duos==
[[Image:mewtwo_mew.jpg|Mew and Mewtwo as seen in the anime|200px|right|thumb]]
===The Mew duo===
*[[Kanto]]: {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}
{{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} make up [[Kanto]]’s legendary duo. They are both psychic type feline-like Pokémon that are very elusive. Mewtwo was cloned from Mew, meaning the two share DNA and abilities.
 
In [[Movie 1|the first Pokémon movie]], [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|Mew]] embodied innocence and joy, but {{an|Mewtwo|Mewtwo's}} experiences as he gained consciousness gave him a jaded and cynical view of humanity. The duality expressed between the two characters formed the basis of their conflict, but innocent Mew, with the help of [[Ash Ketchum]], is able to sway Mewtwo's contempt.
 
===The Bird duo===
*[[Johto]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}
The bird duo is the legendary duo of [[Johto]] that consists of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.  Ho-Oh and Lugia are often regarded as polar opposites. Lugia represents the sea, the color silver and is the mascot of {{game|Silver}} while Ho-Oh represents the sky, the colors gold/rainbow, and is the mascot of {{game|Gold}}. Both are also trio masters; Lugia is the master of the [[legendary birds]] while Ho-Oh is the master of the [[legendary beasts]].
 
Their legend is introduced in [[Generation II]], and states that the two birds each resided on a tower: Lugia on the [[Tin Tower]], and Ho-Oh on the [[Brass Tower]]. When the Brass Tower was destroyed in [[Johto]] (prior to the start of the second generation games), the pair was split up thus creating the [[legendary beasts]]: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.
 
===The Eon duo===
*[[Hoenn]]: {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}
The eon duo is a legendary duo of [[Hoenn]] that consists of {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}. They are region's [[roaming Pokémon]] and they share their [[type|typing]], four of their [[base stats]] and even several moves they learn when they level up. Both were featured in the movie ''{{g|Heroes}}'', where they were revealed to be playful siblings.
 
In the [[Generation III]] games, one can be found [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Hoenn]], depending on the [[player|player's]] earlier actions (see {{DL|Legendary Pokémon|Eon Pokémon}}).
 
===The Subconscious duo===
*[[Sinnoh]]: {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}}
The subconscious duo is a legendary duo of [[Sinnoh]] that consists of {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}}. Darkrai and Cresselia are commonly seen as polar opposites, just like the aforementioned Johto bird duo of Ho-Oh and Lugia. Darkrai and Cresselia are known as the subconscious duo because of how Darkrai is said to give people nightmares, while Cresselia does the opposite, and give people pleasant dreams. Furthermore, Cresselia and Darkrai also appear in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}} as enemies. They made their anime debuts in [[DP104]] where {{p|Cresselia}} battled {{p|Darkrai}}.
 
==Trivia==
* Both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were seen in the anime before [[Generation II]] was introduced; Ho-Oh was seen in the [[EP001|first episode]] and Lugia was seen in ''[[The Power of One]]'', the second movie.
* Like Lugia and Ho-Oh, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} were seen before [[Generation III]] was introduced. Both were seen in ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', the fifth movie.
* Darkrai and Cresselia are the only Legendary duo that made their anime debut at the same time.
