Cosmog has a major role in the plot as a Pokémon being studied by the [[Aether Foundation]]. [[Lillie]], the daughter of Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], spirits Cosmog away and nicknames it [[Nebby]], hiding it in her bag as she tries to learn more about it by visiting the [[guardian deities]]. Over the course of the game, Nebby evolves into {{p|Cosmoem}}, another Legendary Pokémon, and eventually the [[version mascot]] of the game: the {{2t|Psychic|Steel}}-type {{p|Solgaleo}} in Pokémon Sun and the {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}-type {{p|Lunala}} in Pokémon Moon. Another Cosmog can be obtained by the player in the post-game. | ||

* In the game data, an unnamed list speculated to be used for tournament restrictions consists of these Pokémon, all confirmed non-{{pkmn2|Special}} Legendary Pokémon, and no other Pokémon (implying that these Pokémon are also non-Special Legendary Pokémon). | |||
* On [[Pokémon.com]], an article about the 2017 Pokémon Video Game Championships rules and regulations [http://archive.is/tIguO originally stated] that no Mythical or Legendary Pokémon are allowed, but was [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/battle-today-using-the-2017-pokemon-vg-championships-format/ updated] to state that Mythical and some Legendary Pokémon are not allowed. As this text was specifically changed to allow certain Legendary Pokémon, this means that some of the Pokémon allowed in the 2017 Pokémon Video Game Championships must be Legendary Pokémon. The only Pokémon that could possibly qualify are these Pokémon. | |||
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} onward, when obtained (in the {{pkmn2|wild}} or as a {{pkmn2|gift}}), Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are guaranteed to have three {{IV}}s of 31. (In {{g|X and Y}}, this was instead the case for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.) These Pokémon also all have this property, but it has never been stated that this property must be exclusive to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in Generation VII. | |||
* Japanese-language episode summaries<ref>http://imgur.com/eojk7UE</ref><ref>http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_sunmoon/episodes/</ref> for [[SM019]] explicitly call Tapu Koko a Legendary Pokémon, although the animated canon has made mistakes before; it is unclear if these summaries were provided by an official source or were simply improvised by writers not affiliated with official sources. | |||
===Evidence against=== | |||
* In the Alola Friendly online competition, according to the [https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/173540c6-ac2a-4d47-b5db-b9a2a197607e English Pokémon Global Link] and download rule description, all Mythical and Legendary Pokémon are not allowed. All confirmed Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are not allowed in this competition; but these Pokémon are permitted. | |||
=== | ===Other=== | ||
*In a screen on the [[Rotom Pokédex]] (which lists only the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola regional Pokédex]]), all Pokémon have one of three background colors: a blue color shared by almost all Pokémon, a yellow/gold color shared by confirmed Legendary Pokémon (all of which are {{pkmn2|Special}}) and Mythical Pokémon, and a green color shared by these Pokémon<ref>http://imgur.com/a/1xkGy</ref>. The meaning of the green color is unclear. | |||
*When registering a confirmed Legendary Pokémon in the Rotom Pokédex, it will specifically mention that it is a Legendary Pokémon. When obtaining one of these Pokémon, the Rotom Pokédex will comment on its group instead (Land Spirits, Ultra Beasts, or be unable to describe Type: Null and Silvally), thus failing to confirm or deny their status. | |||

* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else.
