| A '''legendary duo''' is a pair of closely related Pokémon, either representing teamwork or opposition. Much like how every region has a [[legendary trio]], every region also has a legendary duo. In the {{pkmn|games}}, they are often found after the {{player}} gets past the [[Elite Four]] but often aren't as important in the main storyline as the trios are. Duos are featured in several of the {{pkmn|movie}}s, either in their respective pairs, or on their own, as a keeper of peace. Sometimes pairs of Pokémon once thought to be legendary duos are revealed to actually be legendary trios upon the release of the third version. A primary example would be {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

| ==Duos==
| |
| Every generation thus far has featured at least one legendary duo. Duos introduced in even generations tend to be opposites, like {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Conversely, duos introduced in odd numbered generations tend to be more closely related, such as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

| ===The Mew duo===
| |

| |
| *[[Kanto]]: {{MS|150|Mewtwo}} {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{MS|151|Mew}} {{p|Mew}}
| |
| {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} make up [[Kanto]]’s legendary duo. They are both psychic type feline-like Pokémon that are very elusive. Mewtwo was cloned from Mew, meaning the two share DNA and abilities.
| |
| | |
| In [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the first Pokémon movie]], {{OBP|Mew|movie 1}} embodied innocence and joy, but {{an|Mewtwo}}'s experiences as he gained consciousness gave him a jaded and cynical view of humanity. The duality expressed between the two characters formed the basis of their conflict, but innocent Mew, with the help of [[Ash Ketchum]], is able to sway Mewtwo's contempt.

| ===The Tower duo===

| |
| *[[Johto]]: {{MS|249|Lugia}} {{p|Lugia}} and {{MS|250|Ho-Oh}} {{p|Ho-Oh}}
| |
| The tower duo is the legendary duo of [[Johto]] that consists of {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} . Lugia and Ho-Oh are often regarded as polar opposites. Lugia represents the moon, sea, storms, the color silver and is the mascot of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} and {{game|SoulSilver}}, while Ho-Oh represents the sun, sky, rainbows, the color gold, and is the mascot of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game|HeartGold}}. Both are also [[trio masters]]; Lugia is the master of the [[legendary birds]], while Ho-Oh is the master of the [[legendary beasts]].
| |
| | |
| Their legend is introduced in [[Generation II]], and states that the two birds each resided on a tower: Lugia on the [[Brass Tower]], and Ho-Oh on the [[Tin Tower]]. When the Brass Tower was destroyed in [[Johto]] (prior to the start of the second generation games), the pair was split up thus creating the [[legendary beasts]]: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

| | |
| ===The Eon duo===
| |
| [[image:Eon Pokemon.png|Latias and Latios|200px|right|thumb]]
| |
| *[[Hoenn]]: {{MS|380|Latias}} {{p|Latias}} and {{MS|381|Latios}} {{p|Latios}}
| |
| The eon duo is a legendary duo of [[Hoenn]] that consists of {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} (sometimes collectively called [[Lati@s]]). They are region's [[roaming Pokémon]] and they share their [[elemental type|typing]], four of their [[base stats]] and even several moves they learn when they level up. Both were featured in the movie ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', where they were revealed to be playful siblings.
| |
| | |
| In the [[Generation III]] games, one can be found {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Hoenn]], depending on the {{player}}'s earlier actions (see {{DL|Legendary Pokémon|Eon Pokémon}}). Also, in the [[Generation IV]] remakes of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}}, Latias (in HeartGold) and Latios (in SoulSilver) are found roaming [[Kanto]] after speaking to [[Steven Stone]]. Also, if the player has access to the [[Mysterious Crystal]], then the oppisite game version may encounter the other twin.

| ===The Lunar duo===
| |
| [[image:DP104.png|Cresselia and Darkrai|200px|left|thumb]]
| |
| *[[Sinnoh]]: {{MS|488|Cresselia}} {{p|Cresselia}} and {{MS|491|Darkrai}} {{p|Darkrai}}
| |
| The lunar duo is a legendary duo of [[Sinnoh]] that consists of {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}. Cresselia and Darkrai are commonly seen as polar opposites, just like the aforementioned Johto bird duo of Lugia and Ho-Oh. Cresselia and Darkrai are also known as the subconscious duo because of how Darkrai is said to give people nightmares, while Cresselia does the opposite (giving people pleasant dreams). Furthermore, Cresselia and Darkrai also appear in {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}} as enemies. They made their anime debuts in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'' where {{p|Cresselia}} battled {{p|Darkrai}}.
