*With the exception of {{p|Metagross}}, the pseudo-legendaries have a double weakness to one type: In the case of {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}} the double weakness is to {{type2|Ice}} moves, whereas in {{p|Tyranitar}}'s case, it is to {{type2|Fighting}} moves. | *With the exception of {{p|Metagross}}, the pseudo-legendaries have a double weakness to one type: In the case of {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}} the double weakness is to {{type2|Ice}} moves, whereas in {{p|Tyranitar}}'s case, it is to {{type2|Fighting}} moves. | ||
*As of [[Generation III]], it is incorrect to think of pseudo-legendaries as having the maximum total base stats attainable by non-legendary Pokémon. This is due to the introduction of {{p|Slaking}}, whose total base stats of 670 matches that of the legendary {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and now {{p|Regigigas}}.

It is also for this reason that Slaking is used by [[Gym Leader]] [[Norman]]. | *As of [[Generation III]], it is incorrect to think of pseudo-legendaries as having the maximum total base stats attainable by non-legendary Pokémon.
