Artwork from the Late Bloomers collection, depicting several pseudo-legendary Pokémon and their pre-evolutions

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon is a fan term referring to a group of Pokémon that meet the following criteria:

The Pokémon is the final stage of a three-stage evolution line.
The Pokémon has a base stat total of exactly 600 (before Mega Evolving).
The Pokémon levels up at a slow rate (requiring 1,250,000 experience points to reach level 100).

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than most other non-Legendary or Mythical Pokémon due to their high base stats. Due to their slow leveling rates and their relatively high evolution levels, they also tend to be difficult to raise.

The pseudo-legendary Pokémon were featured in the "Late Bloomers" (Japanese: 大器晩成 Taiki-Bansei) and "Powerhouse Pokémon" collections of Pokémon Center merchandise.

In Japanese fan communities, especially in the competitive scene, the similar term 600族(ぞく) 600 club refers to all Pokémon that have a base stat total of 600 that are not Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon, or Mega Evolutions. This classification includes all pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but it also includes Archaludon, which is excluded from the definition of pseudo-legendary Pokémon among western fans.

Trivia

All pseudo-legendary Pokémon share the same base number of Egg cycles, 40, which is the highest number of Egg cycles for any Pokémon (excluding Pokémon in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group).
Generation II is the only generation to not introduce a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Generation III is the only generation to introduce more than one pseudo-legendary Pokémon, as it introduced both Salamence and Metagross.
- However, in Generation VIII, a new regional form for Goodra was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, alongside Dragapult's introduction in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
The unevolved forms of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon (that existed at the time) are available in the Johto Safari Zone.
Among Pokémon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendary Pokémon are Slaking, Aggron, Flygon, Haxorus, Volcarona, and Archaludon. For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria to be classified as pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
