Due to being the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} stat than {{stat|Attack}}, Sazandora's stats give it a number of unique characteristics from the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Consequently, it has the highest base Special Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and likewise, the lowest base Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Similarly, it is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat over 125, but it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat under 90. | Due to being the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} stat than {{stat|Attack}}, Sazandora's stats give it a number of unique characteristics from the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lance uses a {{p|Dragonite}}, but when he is battled again, he replaces two of his three Dragonite with the two other {{type2|Dragon}} pseudo-legendary Pokémon, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}}. {{p|Tyranitar}} is also used by Lance in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (both Round 1 and 2), as well as by {{ga|Blue}}, the Champion, but only in the second round of the Elite Four in FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Salamence}} is used by {{EF|Drake}}, the final Elite Four member in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Steven Stone]], the Champion in Ruby and Sapphire, and ex-Champion in {{v2|Emerald}}. {{p|Garchomp}} is used by [[Cynthia]], the Champion in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. {{p|Sazandora}} is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have not been used by a {{pkmn|Champion}}; however, it is used by [[Geechisu]], who serves as the final boss in the Unova games. | ||

[[Dragon Tamer]] Darien, who is located outside of [[Stark Mountain]], uses a Dragonite, but is not related to any movies. | ||
Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form for the first two games of their Generation. However, {{p|Dragonair}} is obtainable in the wild in most games where {{p|Dratini}} is (all but {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}). Likewise, {{p|Pupitar}} is available in the wild in {{v2|Crystal}} and {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. {{p|Gabite}} is also found in {{si|Victory Road}} in {{v2|Platinum}}. {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Shelgon}} can also be found in the {{jo|Safari Zone}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Shelgon}}, {{p|Salamence}}, the entire {{p|Garchomp}} line, {{p|Jiheddo}} and {{p|Sazandora}} are the only stages that cannot be caught in the wild.

Another commonality is that all four pseudo-legendary Pokémon have {{m|Shadow Rush}} as one of their Shadow moves. | ||
