The [[gender]] of most Legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions: {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}). In the [[core series]] games, no Legendary Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] or hatch from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. With the exception of {{p|Type: Null}},  {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Kubfu}}, and their respective evolutionary families, Legendary Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], although many are able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences|change form]] and are part of a [[Legendary duo|duo]] or [[Legendary trio|trio]].

Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them.

In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity.

====Galarian Legendary birds====
In [[The Crown Tundra]], the [[Regional form]]s of the Legendary Birds are introduced. These variants migrate every several decades to a mysterious tree in the [[Crown Tundra]] and appear to fight each other over it. For a time the Galarian Legendary Birds were believed be the same as the Kantonian [[Legendary birds]] due to them possessing similar characteristics to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fire}} respectively. The trio shares the same secondary [[Type]] as their Kantonian counterparts but have a different Primary Type and [[Abilities]] each.

<!--Don't add the remaining Gen VI and VII Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two. Generation III-V legendaries are also not notable since there are still a few that haven't had a movie, rather than just one.-->

* 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. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon that have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently 21: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], the [[Forces of Nature]], {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}, the [[guardian deities]], {{p|Eternatus}}, {{p|Kubfu}} and {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Calyrex}}, and—in [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] only—the [[Mew duo]]).
