A Pokémon that is a trio master is one who, in some way, oversees a legendary trio of Pokémon.

The trio master and the trio itself may relate in different ways. For example, Lugia is the trio master of the legendary birds; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when Lawrence III captures one of them in The Power of One.

Capturing Trio Masters

In the games, the trio master sometimes will require that the members of its legendary trio be captured beforehand.

Pokémon Crystal

In Crystal, Ho-Oh cannot be captured until all three of the legendary beasts have been captured.

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Regigigas will not awaken unless the player has the legendary golems in his or her party. Conversely, an event Reigigas unlocks the legendary golems in Platinum.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Rayquaza is only obtainable after both Kyogre and Groudon have been obtained.

Trivia

  • Arceus is the only trio master that is related to more than one legendary trio.
  • Rayquaza is the only trio master that is also a part of a trio. In the case of Rayquaza, it is the master of its own trio.
  • The weather trio may be a reference to the three Jewish creatures, the Behemoth, Ziz, and Leviathan. As these Pokémon fit the description of them and have a similar role.
