Legendary Pokémon
What Are Legendary Pokémon?
Throughout the years, there has been much talk of Legendary Pokémon. Starting with just the 5 Legendary Pokémon in
Generation 1, as of Generation VII there are 81 different Legendary Pokémon. Legendary Pokémon are typically rare and hard to
get, usually being restricted to one or two of each species in each game they're available in. Each Legendary Pokémon has an
aspect of lore behind it that you can discover in the game. Before Generation IV, there were no Legendary Pokémon that could
breed, before adding Manaphy and Phione. Before Generation III they couldn't have gender, and before Generation VII there
were no Legendary Pokémon that could evolve. They also started to get alternate forms in Generation III and Generation IV that
allowed for even more variety and lore-building.
While many people group segments of Legendary Pokémon together, there are in fact three categories of Legendary Pokémon
within the game. These help determine how and when a Legendary Pokémon is used and its appearance.
In Generation 9, these categories were spread out further into Special Pokémon
Sub-Legendary Pokémon | Legendary Pokémon | Mythical Pokémon
Sub-Legendary Pokémon
Sub-Legendary Pokémon are the group of Legendary Pokémon that typically get no restrictions. They're allowed in Battle
Facilities such as the Battle Tree, Battle Frontier, Battle Spot, Online Competitions and the Video Game Championships. They
have stats that range from 534 up to 670. Their category exists within the game code for the purpose of battle regulations and
display in the Alola Pokédex, but has no official name. This subcategory includes the Ultra Beasts. These are officially Legendary
Pokémon in the code until Generation 9 when Special Pokémon were split into further groups, but are sometimes categorised
separately in other material

of the video games, as well as any counterparts. The first one to exist was Mewtwo but they soon became more entrenched into
the lore of the games. These Pokémon are banned from Battle Tree, Battle Frontier and similar facilities, as well as the Rating
Battles in Battle Spot. Several instances of the Video Game Championships and Online Competitions have allowed for the use of
these Pokémon, typically with restrictions as to how many you can use. They have stats that range from 600 up to 720, and
some even have Form Changes, Mega Evolutions or Primal Reversions.

Mythical Pokémon
Mythical Pokémon were originally known in common conversation as "Event Only Pokémon" for a reason. These Pokémon are so
rare that they are typically only available through going to an event distribution and either receiving the Pokémon itself, or an
item to go get the Pokémon within the wild. Due to the fact that these are typically only from events and have limited
distributions, these Pokémon are banned from Battle Tree, Battle Frontier and similar facilities, as well as the Rating Battles in
Battle Spot & the Video Game Championships . Several instances of Online Competitions have allowed for the use of these
Pokémon. They have typically have base stats that sit around 600, and some even have Form Changes or Mega Evolutions
causing stat increases.
The Generation 7 Pokémon games also introduced the first evolving Mythical Pokémon
