'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' | '''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' is a [[Appendix:Fan terminology|fan term]] referring to a group of [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] that meet the following criteria: | ||
*The Pokémon is the final stage of a three-stage [[evolution]] line. | |||
*The Pokémon has a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}} (before [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]). | |||
*The Pokémon [[level]]s up at a [[Experience#Slow|slow rate]] (requiring 1,250,000 [[Experience|experience points]] to reach level 100). | |||
The pseudo-legendary Pokémon were featured in the "[https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon.official.Singapore/posts/2430759250584323 Late Bloomers]" (Japanese: '''大器晩成''' ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20191208020557/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2019/10/191011_p02.html Taiki-Bansei]'') | Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than most other non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] due to their high base stats. Due to their slow leveling rates and their relatively high [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|evolution levels]], they also tend to be difficult to raise. | ||

In Japanese fan communities, especially in the competitive scene, the similar term {{ja|600族|'''600{{ruby|族|ぞく}}''' ''600 club''}} refers to all Pokémon that have a base stat total of 600 that are not Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon, or Mega Evolutions. This classification includes all pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but it also includes {{p|Archaludon}}, which is excluded from the definition of pseudo-legendary Pokémon among western fans. | |||
