'''Titan Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ヌシポケモン''' ''Leader Pokémon'') are a type of [[variant Pokémon]] encountered in the "Path of Legends" storyline of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They appear much {{pkmn2|giant|larger}} than other Pokémon of their kind, and are guardians of the [[Herba Mystica]], rare ingredients said to be able to restore health instantly when eaten.<ref name=SVsite>(September 7, 2022).

==History==

200 years ago, the Area Zero exploration team, led by [[Heath]], discovered the [[Herba Mystica]] hidden deep within [[Area Zero]], in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], located in the center of the [[region]]. They recorded information on the herbs in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} and gave the Herba Mystica their proper name. They subsequently discovered that the Herba Mystica comes in five different flavor varieties with separate healing effects. Due to this discovery, the team attempted to grow the herbs outside of Area Zero, in different sites around [[Paldea]], but before they were able to harvest them, the herbs were eaten by Pokémon, leading to the first appearances of Titan Pokémon. As a result, the project was abandoned.

====The False Dragon Titan====

The False Dragon Titan includes three battles, instead of two. Once the player finds Titan Tatsugiri, a {{p|Dondozo}} will suddenly appear and swallow the Tatsugiri, and a battle against Dondozo immediately begins. Once Dondozo's HP is low, it will retreat to its Herba Mystica location, where the player must battle it again, teaming up with [[Arven]]. Dondozo does not have stat boosts from Tatsugiri's {{a|Commander}} Ability in either of these battles. Once Dondozo is defeated, Titan Tatsugiri will reappear and battle; the player's party will be healed and their [[Tera Orb]] restored before this battle.

* The Quaking Earth Titans are the only [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] Titan Pokémon, and the only Titan Pokémon that are [[Paradox Pokémon]].
