There are several groups of closely related {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]]. Depending on the number of Pokémon in these groups, they are often referred to by fans as '''Legendary duos''', '''Legendary trios''', or even '''Legendary quartets''' and '''Legendary quintets'''—or generically, '''Legendary groups'''. | |||
Several Legendary | Several groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon also have a close relationship with another Legendary or Mythical Pokémon who may be considered their leader or creator. There are also other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that are closely associated with a Legendary group, but are not considered a leader or member of that group. Additionally, there are some Legendary Pokémon that are closely related but not officially or commonly recognized to be part of their own distinct group. | ||
Members of Legendary | Members of groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon often, but not always, share a [[type]], [[Ability]], or [[Base stats|base stat]] total. | ||

A Legendary trio is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Legendary trios can be subdivided into two tiers: normal trios and {{pkmn2|Special}} trios. Sublegendary trios, which are always the first Legendary Pokémon that appear in any [[Pokédex]] order, are allowed into the many [[Battle Tower]]s and other [[Battle facility|battle facilities]]. They are also the only Pokémon with [[base stats|base stat]] totals of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 580|580}}, besides the [[Swords of Justice]]. Special trios, whose name comes from the fact that all of them are [[Special Pokémon]], are not allowed in the [[Battle Tower]] and are found closer to the end of the Pokédex in the generation of their release. | A Legendary trio is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related [[Legendary Pokémon]].

According to legend, {{p|Arceus}} created all three members of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] after creating the universe, with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} representing matter, and Giratina representing anti-matter. Arceus also created the [[lake guardians]], which each represent different aspects of spirit. The lake guardians check balance with the Pokémon of Myth. Arceus, known as the Original One, was named Almighty Sinnoh by the Celestica people, before the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s had used the name to refer to Palkia and Dialga instead. Arceus was also shown to be capable of using the Pokémon of Myth's powers at will, manipulating time, space, and anti-matter, even including their [[signature move]]s, {{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}, as seen in its boss fight. | |||

[[File:Tapu Koko battling Necrozma.png|right|thumb|Necrozma battling Tapu Koko]] | |||
According to the [[Malie City|Malie Library]], {{ga|Necrozma}} had taken the form of {{fd|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{fd|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma and taken away [[Alola]]'s and either Solgaleo's{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala's{{sup/7|UM}} light. This pillager of light had fought against a young kid along with the [[guardian deities]] using [[Z-Power]] and [[Sparkling Stone]]s defeating Necrozma. This resulted in Alola's tradition of the [[island challenge]]. As the pillager's goal is to steal Alola's light, shrouding it in darkness and the goal of the guardians is to protect it, this makes them eternal enemies along with the [[Ultra Beasts]]. | |||

Latest revision as of 17:14, 27 May 2024
There are several groups of closely related Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. Depending on the number of Pokémon in these groups, they are often referred to by fans as Legendary duos, Legendary trios, or even Legendary quartets and Legendary quintets—or generically, Legendary groups.
Several groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon also have a close relationship with another Legendary or Mythical Pokémon who may be considered their leader or creator. There are also other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that are closely associated with a Legendary group, but are not considered a leader or member of that group. Additionally, there are some Legendary Pokémon that are closely related but not officially or commonly recognized to be part of their own distinct group.
Members of groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon often, but not always, share a type, Ability, or base stat total.
Terminology
Legendary duo
From Generation VII onwards, "Legendary duo" has been officially used on the Pokémon.com website.
In particular, this term was used at one point referring to Primal Groudon and Lunala together, in the context of their use in Double Battles:
- "Up next we have the winning restricted pairing from the 2019 Pokémon World Championships, Primal Groudon and Lunala. [...] Opponents will be better prepared for this pairing with the knowledge of how the team operates, meaning it’s only going to get more difficult for this Legendary duo to continue with its recent success."[1]
Another example:
- "In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, the story centered heavily around the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, a new story unfolds featuring Necrozma alongside the Legendary duo."[2]
Legendary trio
From Generation IV onwards, "Legendary trio" (originally as legendary trio in lowercase) has been officially used on the Pokémon.com website:
- "Catch up with the legendary trio of Entei (4/132), Raikou (16/132), and Suicune (19/132)!" (referring to Diamond & Pearl—Secret Wonders from the Pokémon Trading Card Game)
- "The Legendary trio of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are majestic, ferocious, and really hard to catch." (referring to the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console version of Pokémon Gold and Silver)[3]
- "Each of these battles has a five-minute time limit, so you'll need to be efficient as you take on this Legendary trio." (referring to Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)[4]
Other terms
Some terms have been used by fans but are not known to be officially used: "Legendary group", "Legendary leader", "Legendary quartet", and "Legendary quintet".
List of groups
Legendary duos
A Legendary duo is a pair of closely related Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, either representing teamwork or opposition.
In the games, Legendary duos are often found after the player enters the Hall of Fame but they usually are not as important to the main storyline as the trios are. Duos or their component parts are featured in several of the movies as keepers of peace.
Sometimes, pairs of Legendary Pokémon once only presented as duos are revealed to actually be Legendary trios in a subsequent game or games of the same generation. However, even within trios, the dynamic between two of the members is often very close to that of a duo: Kyogre and Groudon, Dialga and Palkia, Reshiram and Zekrom, Xerneas and Yveltal, and Solgaleo and Lunala are all examples of this.

Legendary trios
A Legendary trio is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related Legendary Pokémon. Legendary trios can be subdivided into two tiers: normal trios and Special trios. Sublegendary trios, which are always the first Legendary Pokémon that appear in any Pokédex order, are allowed into the many Battle Towers and other battle facilities. They are also the only Pokémon with base stat totals of 580, besides the Swords of Justice. Special trios, whose name comes from the fact that all of them are Special Pokémon, are not allowed in the Battle Tower and are found closer to the end of the Pokédex in the generation of their release.
Before the introduction of new members to some Legendary groups, the Forces of Nature and legendary giants used to be Legendary trios. The Swords of Justice are also sometimes treated as a trio when Keldeo is excluded.
The term fell into official usage with the Shiny Legendary beasts' Wonder Cards.
Legendary quartets
A Legendary quartet is a term used to describe a group of four closely related Legendary Pokémon. Legendary quartets are mainly sub-Legendary, Keldeo being the only exception. Legendary quartets are usually the first Legendary Pokémon that appear in any Pokédex order and are allowed into the many Battle Towers and other battle facilities. The only exception is Keldeo due to being a Mythical Pokémon. They tend not to have leading story roles and are mainly optional captures.
Legendary quintets
The legendary giants in the anime
A Legendary quintet is a term used to describe a group of five closely related Legendary Pokémon. So far, the only Legendary quintet is a Legendary trio that has received new members several generations after their debut.

Other relationships
Legendary leaders
Some Legendary or Mythical Pokémon are known to oversee one or more groups of Legendary Pokémon. For Legendary trios, this Pokémon has often been referred to by fans as a trio master, though some Legendary trios with leaders have since expanded into larger groups.
The leader Pokémon and its corresponding group may be related in different ways. For example, Lugia is often considered the leader of the legendary birds; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when Lawrence III captures one of them in the second movie, The Power of One.
Sometimes a particular member of a group oversees the other members, serving as what some fans have called an internal master. For example, Rayquaza is the leader of the super-ancient Pokémon; it stopped the other two members' fighting in Pokémon Emerald. Another example is mentioned in the Generation V games; Landorus punishes Thundurus and Tornadus for causing storms as a result of their fighting.
In the games, these Pokémon often require that their subordinates be caught before being encountered.
- Lugia and the legendary birds
In The Power of One, Lugia is the only one who can end the legendary birds' conflict and save the world, which was in chaos due to the never-ending territorial battle between the three birds.

- Ho-Oh and the Legendary beasts
150 years ago, the three beasts perished in a fire in the Brass Tower, but Ho-Oh appeared as the sun rose, granting the trio new life, now representing the three forces that transformed the now Burned Tower, the lightning, the fire, and the rain respectively.

- Regigigas and the legendary giants
Regigigas will be awakened when the legendary giants are brought to its residence or the Giant's Bed. It is aso said that in the past, it built statues made of clay, ice, and magma. It has also created two additional ones made from both electric and dragon elemental energies. These statues turned out to be the five giants that were sealed hundreds of years ago just like their creator.

- Rayquaza of the super-ancient Pokémon
Due to it ending Kyogre and Groudon's battles throughout the ages, Rayquaza is often seen as the leader amongst the super-ancient Pokémon, being powerful enough in its base form to overpower both of them, even in their Primal forms.

- Arceus, the Pokémon of Myth, and the lake guardians
According to legend, Arceus created all three members of the Pokémon of Myth after creating the universe, with Dialga and Palkia representing matter, and Giratina representing anti-matter. Arceus also created the lake guardians, which each represent different aspects of spirit. The lake guardians check balance with the Pokémon of Myth. Arceus, known as the Original One, was named Almighty Sinnoh by the Celestica people, before the Diamond and Pearl Clans had used the name to refer to Palkia and Dialga instead. Arceus was also shown to be capable of using the Pokémon of Myth's powers at will, manipulating time, space, and anti-matter, even including their signature moves, Roar of Time, Spacial Rend and Shadow Force, as seen in its boss fight.

Cobalion radiates the air of a leader since birth, allowing its glare to make even unruly Pokémon to obey it. In Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, it is portrayed as the leader of the Swords of Justice, leading them with determination and a strong will.

- Landorus of the Forces of Nature
Landorus punished Thundurus and Tornadus for bringing mass destruction with their thunder and wind storms. As such, it is sometimes viewed as the leader of the three. It cannot be battled until both of the latter are brought to the Abundant Shrine, and it can bring out Enamorus when all three are together.

- Zygarde of the Aura trio
Being the protector of the ecosystem, Zygarde keeps watch on the planet and on Xerneas and Yveltal so that the equilibrium of the planet and the cycle of life and death are kept in check. In its Complete Forme, it is said to exceed Xerneas and Yveltal in power, even capable of replacing their Abilities, Fairy Aura and Dark Aura respectively using its own, Aura Break. In Pokémon Adventures, when Zygarde awakens to stop Xerneas and Yveltal from using their powers, the only way to stop it is having the two Legendary Pokémon return to their slumber.

- Pecharunt and the Loyal Three
Pecharunt had tamed and bound the the Loyal Three with Binding Mochi and toxic chains, chaining them to its will with its toxins. This granted them their wishes for strength, intelligence, and beauty. Hundreds of years ago, Pecharunt led them to Oni Mountain's Dreaded Den to fight Ogerpon and its companion and steal their masks to please an old couple that Pecharunt lived with.[5]
