A direct counterpart to the [[Legendary birds|Generation I trio]], the beasts find their [[Legendary group|master]] in {{p|Ho-Oh}}, who revived them when [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned. They are said to embody the three events that happened to the tower: the {{t|Electric|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{t|fire}} that burned in the tower, and the {{wp|wind}}s and {{t|Water|rain}} that put it out. It is unknown whether these three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei before they were revived, or whether Ho-Oh actually {{wp|reincarnated}} them from three non-Legendary Pokémon.
In the [[Johto]] [[region]], 150 years ago, [[Disputed Pokémon#Original Legendary beasts|three unnamed Pokémon]] (either {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}} already or different Pokémon entirely) were present inside the famous [[Brass Tower]]. One day, a lightning bolt hits the tower, starting a huge fire in it, which would be later put out by a sudden downpour. The three Pokémon perished in the fire, but as sun rose, the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} appeared, granting the trio new life as the now known, Legendary beasts.
 
Of the three beasts, Suicune has been the most prominent, appearing as a [[game mascot]] on the box art of {{v2|Crystal}}, and taking an expanded role in that game. Suicune also appears in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' as a protagonist, while Entei was the first of the three to have a movie appearance (albeit as an illusion), in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. Raikou was delegated to a more minor role, appearing as the central character in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where {{Jo|Jimmy}} encountered it. However, [[Misty's Togepi]] and a {{p|Houndoom}} did see the silhouette of a Raikou in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. The [[Legendary beasts (M13)|Legendary beasts]] made their first group appearance in the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', albeit in {{shiny}} form. By transferring the Shiny Legendary beasts given away by promotional events to {{game|Black and White|s}}, players are able to battle and capture the Pokémon {{p|Zoroark}}, who will transform into a member of this trio during the battle.


In [[Pokémon Scarlet]]'s version of the [[Area Zero]] Expedition, the sketch artist was inspired by the [[Paradox Pokémon]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] and drew an imaginary Pokémon resembling all three legendary beasts, as well as {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}. This took place 200 years prior to Pokémon Scarlet, apparently predating the burning of the Brass Tower, which was 150 years before the Johto games. The [[Violet Book]] instead depicts a creature resembling the [[Swords of Justice]].
