Pokémon of Myth: Difference between revisions

The '''Pokémon of Myth''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|神話|しんわ}}のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon'') is a term used in [[Pokémon HOME]] to refer to three powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. The trio has also been called the '''creation trio''', the '''deity trio''', and the '''dragon trio''' by fans.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}} only, Dialga and Palkia are referenced as '''mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|神話|しんわ}}のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon'') with a lowercase ''M'', seemingly a subset of rather than a distinct group from Legendary; it should be noted that this was initially prior to the use of the term {{pkmn2|Mythical}} with a capital ''M'' starting in Generation V, and was a translation of '''{{tt|神話|しんわ}}のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon'' rather than '''{{tt|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'', the latter of which is referenced by the currently-used English term Mythical. This term is also used to describe {{p|Kyogre}} in its {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} [[Pokédex]] entry and {{p|Arceus}} in {{p|Type: Null}}'s {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}} Pokédex entry.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]'s [[Eternal Battle Reverie]], the challenge to battle against Dialga and Palkia is called "Space and time" (Japanese: '''時空''' ''Spacetime'') while the challenge to battle against Giratina is called "The banished Pokémon" (Japanese: '''暴れ者''' ''Aggressor''). The challenge to battle against the Origin Formes of all three of these Pokémon is called "Primordial chaos" (Japanese: '''根源''' ''Origin''). If Primordial chaos is chosen earlier on, only Dialga and Palkia's Origin Formes will appear.

Much like members of other Legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their secondary type, as well as a [[base stats|base stat total]] of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}}, divided among the stats as 150-120-120-100-100-90, in different orders.

The three members of this trio share the Ability {{a|Pressure}}, as well as the Hidden Ability {{a|Telepathy}}—however, Giratina's {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} has {{a|Levitate}}. Likewise, the three are the [[game mascot]]s of the three [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]]-based games, and have similar level-up learnsets.

The trio has two distinct formes that are unique to them. Their primary forme, which for Giratina is called its '''Altered Forme''', is a forme the trio assumes when outside their home dimension with which humans are most familiar. The '''Origin Forme''', on the other hand, is considered to be their true formes at their full power, which they transform into through the use of a special item. Giratina's may also be transformed when in the [[Distortion World]].

During the ancient times of [[Hisui]], the Celestica worshiped Arceus and the trio, with statues in their honor. The statues were made based on their primary formes when the trio first appeared to the humans living there; however, Giratina's statue was destroyed after its banishment, and people tried to cover up its existence. Years later, both Dialga and Palkia were seen by the respective leaders of both the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s, believing this was the "almighty Sinnoh"—the former residents, the Celestica, worshipped Dialga and Palkia instead of {{p|Arceus}}. However, both clans accused the other of worshipping a false god, which lead to a bitter quarrel until both sides lacked enough manpower, leading to an uneasy truce.
