Each legendary event featured a Legendary Pokémon from a different [[core series]] region, which normally formed a sync pair with a Trainer from that region. There was one legendary event corresponding to each core series region from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]].

Originally, legendary events were structured similarly to most [[story event]]s, consisting of several story areas and several battle areas that were unlocked in an alternating fashion, as well as an exchange shop where players could exchange event items for rewards. The earliest legendary events also featured co-op battles, which allowed players to earn rewards in greater quantities than single-player battles. However, in these events, the final story area of the event – which, when completed, would allow players to team up with the featured sync pair – was only unlocked after obtaining a certain number of event vouchers. After completing this story area, players could exchange event vouchers for Custom ★ Power-Ups and additional copies of the featured sync pair, allowing them to maximize the pair's potential and move level.

These items cost hundreds or thousands of event vouchers, forcing players to spend a significant amount of time grinding event stages to obtain all items in the event. However, unlike other events, these legendary events were planned to rerun periodically. So, event items were not automatically exchanged for coins at the end of the event period, and instead remained in players' inventories to be used when the event next returned. When these events reran, the status of area info was not reset, meaning that areas unlocked in the initial run did not have to be unlocked again, but first-time rewards could not be obtained again.
