Pseudo-legendary is a term used to refer to Pokémon that have a three-stage evolution line; have two types; and, in most cases, have a double weakness. Pseudo-legendaries are more powerful than other Pokémon and have an outstanding Attack stat. They also have incredibly diverse movepools and can usually be found only in their first form. Due to this, raising them is difficult since they require a lot of experience to level up. These Pokémon are often located near the legendary Pokémon in their regional Pokédexes.
List of pseudo-legendary Pokémon
There are 6 Pokémon considered to be legendary Pokémon, and there are several more with certain characteristics of Legendary Pokémon.
Generation I
Generation II
Generation III
Generation IV
Other Pokémon with legendary characteristics
- Arcanine's species classification is Legendary.
- Rapidash may possibly have "Legendary" status, as it was seen in the first opening of the anime running along with Arcanine, the "Legendary" Pokémon, and the Legendary Birds. This may be because, like many legendary Pokémon, it is based on a mythical creature, the unicorn.
- In the world of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Ninetales is considered a Legendary Pokémon due to it being elusive, incredibly long-lived, and posessing the ability to cast powerful curses against anyone that touches its tails.
- Unown are a mysterious species of Pokémon based on the Latin alphabet. Professor Oak referred to them as Legendary, probably because they were featured heavily in ancient myths and legends and because they can display large amounts of otherworldly power in swarms. Also, like legendaries, they cannot breed.
- Lucario and its master Sir Aaron were forever revered because of their help pacifying an ancient battle, as seen in the eighth movie. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, a Lucario was regarded as a legendary Rescue Team Leader in the distant past, and "Lucario Rank" is the highest attainable team rank in the game.
- Ancient Pokémon, such as Aerodactyl, Kabuto and Omanyte are extinct and therefore are among myth. Although it is not extinct, Relicanth is sometimes considered an ancient Pokémon since it has survived unchanged since ancient times.
