The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are 15 notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, and {{p|Terapagos}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. With the exception of {{p|Type: Null}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Kubfu}}, and their respective evolutionary families, Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences|change form]] and are part of a group, such as a [[Legendary group|duo]], a [[Legendary group|trio]], a quartet and even a quintet. | The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are 15 notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Enamorus}}, {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, and {{p|Terapagos}}).

Much like [[ | Much like [[first partner Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Legendary Pokémon typically appear just before the end, with [[Mythical Pokémon]] immediately after them. | ||

In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Legendary Beasts can be found in the [[Scarlet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon". Later, in the game's [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC, [[Paradox Pokémon|Paradox counterparts]] of Suicune, Entei and Raikou are discovered in the form of {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{P|Gouging Fire}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}, that were all brought to [[Area Zero]] at some point by [[Professor Sada]] through her [[time machine]]. | In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch resembling the members of the Legendary Beasts can be found in the [[Scarlet Book]], dubbed "An Imagined Pokémon".

In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the Legendary beasts in a central role, with {{OBP|Entei|M03}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' and {{OBP|Suicune|M04}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on Legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead. | In the anime, the Legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II.
