What exactly are the "rules" of being a Legendary, now that Phione is considered a legendary? It doesn't seem that there are any anymore, making the whole title pretty pointless. [[User:Buddy Christ|Buddy Christ]] 05:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


Even in the anime, are Entei, Raikou, and Suicune ever thought of as gods? I thought they were spirits or embodiments of their elements.

Is Mewtwo really a Legendary? It's even less related to being a God than Raikou, Entei and Suicune, as it's just a mutant created in a laboratory. Also, in the Symphonic Medley Opening, you don't see Mewtwo coupling with the other Legendaries. Perhaps this article should be made more precise, telling the reader that Mewtwo isn't really a Legendary, but often is mentioned as a Legendary, as it has legendary powers (from mew)? What do you think? --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 21:50, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I personally think it's safe to assume that Mewtwo is a legendary, but a note might be added about that. Also, how do you say legendary in Japanese? More curious than anything, it doesn't have to be added to the page -[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]]

The question is whether ''maboroshi'' and ''densetsu'' are exclusive categories. Are there any Pokémon which are ''maboroshi'' and in ''densetsu''? Some of the ''maboroshi'' Pokémon are present in ''densetsu'', such as Lugia (although a veiled reference); [[Latios]] and [[Latias]] are featured in ''densetsu'', but their species is ''mugen Pokémon'' - perhaps a roundabout self-reference to the nature of legendary Pokémon - but English species name ''Eon'' suggests a pun between 無限 (infinite) and 夢幻 (fantasy) rather than that. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 08:16, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I realy wonder If any trainer ever captured (or already captured) an densetsu or maboroshi? (exept Giovanni he owned mewto for a limited time)


Mewtwo is more of the ''maboroshi'' than the ''densetsu''. Determining weither or not it's 'densetsu' or not depends on which canon we use. In the Anime, the Kanto Bird Trio certainly is ''densetsu'', but in the games, they are barely mentioned, except by a few Bird Keepers. 
Should the message at the bottom about the Regis have info added to include Regigigas or not? I believe that it is the sealed Pokemon that the caves in Hoenn warn about. --[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 15:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
:Interesting.  I always assumed it referred to all three Gen III Regis but in the light of Diamond and Pearl that is a good possibility. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 23:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


An interesting point is that DP itself uses the terms ''maboroshi'' and ''densetsu'', and this is translated into English as ''mirage'' and ''legendary'', respectively. It also seems to suggest that ''maboroshi'' is a subset of ''densetsu''. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 08:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

::Regarding this, should we mention which categories each Legendary falls under? If there's a list somewhere in Japanese? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 02:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that the [[Sinnoh Myths]] article should be merged with this one, or else the entire section on "Myths and Legends involving Legendary Pokémon" might need to be its own article (perhaps called something like "Myths and Legends of the Pokémon World" so it has greater scope?) with the Sinnoh Myths part of that. Just an idea, because I saw that it's a featured article candidate now, and the myths section looks sort of subpar. --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 02:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that Unown should defiantly be considered a lengendary. --[[User:Theryguy512|Ryguy]] 11:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
:Like Arcanine, I suppose it could be considered as having legendary characteristics, but really, it's not legendary. Legendaries are pretty much completely defined by the fact that they are one-per-game Pokémon that are not able to breed and produce offspring that either is or can become the same species. And, of course, how many Unown can you get? A lot. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 01:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes, aren't absol considered legendary?

:I don't think they're ever considered legendary.  They have appeared close to legendaries, because Absol are disaster-sensing Pokémon, and there are no bigger disasters than those caused by legendaries and their interaction with nature ;) --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 02:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

== Giratina ==

Since when was Giratina confirmed to have been created from Arceus?  And even more pertinent, since when have Cresscelia and Darkrai been said to have been created from Giratina? --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 04:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
:According to the games, Arceus is the "Original One." This would mean that everything in the Pokémon world was either created by Arceus or by another Pokémon that was created by Arceus, or another Pokémon that was created by a Pokémon that was created by Arceus, and so on. Giratina is clearly too powerful to have been created by Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Dialga, or Palkia, so by a process of elimination, Giratina was created by Arceus. Also, [[Creation trio|this article]] wouldn't be on Bulbapedia if Giratina wasn't recognized by everyone as being created by Arceus (I didn't start the article).  Now, as for why Cresselia and Darkrai were created by Giraina. First, they were nowhere near powerful enough to be straight from Arceus. Therefore, they must either be from Dialga and Palkia, Giratina, or Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. Due to the fact that they essentially have nothing to do with time and space, they would have to be created by either Giratina or the Lake Trio. Since there is no mention of Cresselia or Darkrai in the legends in the Canalave Library (Giratina isn't mentioned because it was unknown), they can't have been made by the Lake Trio either. Therefore, by a process of elimination, Giratina created Cresselia and Darkrai. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">S</span><span style="color: red">h</span><span style="color: brown">i</span><span style="color: red">n</span><span style="color: brown">y</span> <span style="color: red">N</span><span style="color: brown">o</span><span style="color: red">c</span><span style="color: brown">t</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">w</span><span style="color: red">l</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">T</span><span style="color: red">a</span><span style="color: brown">l</span><span style="color: red">k</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">C</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">n</span><span style="color: red">t</span><span style="color: brown">r</span><span style="color: red">i</span><span style="color:brown">b</span><span style="color: red">s</span>]]</sup> 12:24, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
::That's nothing but original research. None of us get the right to say something isn't "powerful enough" to be created by Arceus. Unless Game Freak/Tajiri/etc. announce any of that, you can't treat it as fact.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 12:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
::That is entirely all speculation on your part.  I'm surprised you didn't try to shove all the other Legendaries into that absurd "family tree".  So did Kyogre give birth to Manaphy or did Lugia mate with Latias? *rolls eyes*  And that article you linked to is about ''fan terminology'', so that isn't confirming it as fact.  --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 19:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
:::That article I linked to says that Giratina is on an equal level (power-wise, not in-game level-wise) as Dialga and Palkia.

If I was going to add an "absurd family tree" as you called it, I would have added [[User:Shiny Noctowl#The legendaries|this]] (some of the sub-relationships ''are'' confirmed, but their relationships with Gen IV haven't been confirmed yet, so I couldn't add them). --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">S</span><span style="color: red">h</span><span style="color: brown">i</span><span style="color: red">n</span><span style="color: brown">y</span> <span style="color: red">N</span><span style="color: brown">o</span><span style="color: red">c</span><span style="color: brown">t</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">w</span><span style="color: red">l</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">T</span><span style="color: red">a</span><span style="color: brown">l</span><span style="color: red">k</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">C</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">n</span><span style="color: red">t</span><span style="color: brown">r</span><span style="color: red">i</span><span style="color:brown">b</span><span style="color: red">s</span>]]</sup> 23:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
::: No, the article you linked to just said that "The Dragon trio is a term used to refer to Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia".  It doesn't say anything about these mysterious "power levels" that seem to only exist in your mind, nor that the three all came from Arceus anymore than Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza do.  Nor does it say anything about Darkrai and Cresselia being siblings or Giratina being their mother.

Yes it is based on stats. Look:

'''Giratina'''

HP: 150

Attack: 100 

Defense: 120 

SpAtk: 100 

SpDef: 120 

Speed: 90

Total: 680



'''Dialga'''

HP: 100

Attack: 120
 
Defense: 120

SpAtk: 150
 
SpDef: 100

Speed: 90

Total: 680



'''Palkia'''

HP: 90

Attack: 120

Defense: 100

SpAtk: 150

SpDef: 120

Speed: 100

Total: 680




Not only do they all have the same total base stats (680) but they have the same distributions (one 150, two 120s, two 100, and one 90). This clearly shows that they are a trio. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">S</span><span style="color: red">h</span><span style="color: brown">i</span><span style="color: red">n</span><span style="color: brown">y</span> <span style="color: red">N</span><span style="color: brown">o</span><span style="color: red">c</span><span style="color: brown">t</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">w</span><span style="color: red">l</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">T</span><span style="color: red">a</span><span style="color: brown">l</span><span style="color: red">k</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">C</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">n</span><span style="color: red">t</span><span style="color: brown">r</span><span style="color: red">i</span><span style="color:brown">b</span><span style="color: red">s</span>]]</sup> 01:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I just noticed something kind of awkward about Palkia. You know it's in-game base HP, 90. Now look at a card scan of Palkia from the Diamond & Pearl TCG set. If you notice, they have the ''exacly the same HP''. Take an example from Shednga. In-game-1-TCG-''up to 50''.-[[User:Groudon465|Groudon465]] 9:40 p.m., 10 October 2007 (CT)

''Having identical stats does not make Pokemon siblings.''  Pokedex entries, flavor text, and cannon stories make Pokemon siblings.  Fan assumptions do not count.  '''End of story.''' --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 04:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Every single legendary trio has the same total base stats with the same distributions between stats. Therefore, my argument is valid until you can find three unrelated Pokémon that have the same base stat total with the same distribution. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">S</span><span style="color: red">h</span><span style="color: brown">i</span><span style="color: red">n</span><span style="color: brown">y</span> <span style="color: red">N</span><span style="color: brown">o</span><span style="color: red">c</span><span style="color: brown">t</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">w</span><span style="color: red">l</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">T</span><span style="color: red">a</span><span style="color: brown">l</span><span style="color: red">k</span>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|<span style="color: brown">C</span><span style="color: red">o</span><span style="color: brown">n</span><span style="color: red">t</span><span style="color: brown">r</span><span style="color: red">i</span><span style="color:brown">b</span><span style="color: red">s</span>]]</sup> 12:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

First of all, please get it through your head that ''stats have no effect on Pokemon background or flavor information''.  Second of all, easily done.  Shaymin.  Manaphy.  Mew.  Jirachi. Celebi.

:I think a more sound argument will note that all of the highest-powered legendaries of a generation typically have their stats sum to 680, as Mewtwo does, too. That doesn't imply lineage, directly anyway.  Also, your argument that power doesn't increase down an "evolutionary" or other chain is disproven by Mewtwo, who is significantly more "powerful" than Mew in every canonical respect save learnset.

:Okay. About Giratina and everything. Go compare Dialga, Palkia and Giratina's stats and level-up moves.

It's obvious that they're related.  And Giratina will be the third version mascot.  However, that's a conclusion and not a fact.  Still, I don't get why doesn't Giratina appear in the article anymore.  Did it start a Shadow Force?  If the trouble is because of classifying it as a "legendary dragon", then let's just place Giratina next to Regigigas and the others, and mention its possible relation to Dialga and Palkia while the third version doesn't appear.  --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 17:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

== Problem ==

Yep, there's a problem with Giratina being part of the Dragon Trio...Guess what? It is '''not''' in the Sinnoh Pokédex! Looking at the before Sister games, you can conclude that the region's Pokédex stays the same until the defeat of the Elite Four. So, in conclusion, Giratina will NOT be in the main storyline of the sister game of Diamond and Pearl. In other words, The only Legendaries left to be the next game's mascot are the Lake Trio and Manaphy! Big Problem, right? At least Rayquaza '''and''' Suicune were in their region Pokédexes! The likeliness of a sister game to DP is low, very low...

Since the regional Pokédex is a game-specific feature and not a file-specific feature, it's possible.

:They're only one of a kind in the games (although I think that can easily be explained as "you'll probably never see such a rare Pokémon more than once).

No, you may CATCH only one, but that doesn't mean that they ARE one-of-a-kind. I mean, even the Games imply that there are multitudes of legendaries, considering how Entei's Pokedex entry said that a new one is born at the same time a Volcano erupts (though pokedex entries are debatable), Brandon has all of the regis (as well as all of the three birds on gold symbol level), The Legendary Beasts were found in Orre, Fiore, and even KANTO (the last one couldn't have been the burnt tower beasts since they were still asleep by that time.), in addition to Johto, the Lati@'s Pokedex articles stated that there was more than one Lati@s, the 3 Birds were seen in Kanto and Orre, Lugia was sighted in Orre, Kanto and Johto. The same applies to Ho-Oh (though, unlike Lugia, it was never a shadow pokemon.), Celebi was seen in Orre, Fiore, and Johto (sort of), Mew was seen on mysterious Island, pokemon Island, Kanto, And Fiore, Manaphy (as well as Phione) were implied to have many in their species due to both of them being introduced as eggs, Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre were all seen in both Hoenn and Fiore, and  Palmer had Regigigas, Cresselia, and Heatran on his team in the second battle against him, despite the fact that Regigigas, Heatran, and Cresselia are most likely still at their places. I mean, the Only legendary pokemon that is explicitly stated to be one of a Kind (Or at least haven't had another of their species appear in the Main Pokeverse yet.) are Mewtwo (Mystery Dungeon doesn't count.), Darkrai (the upcoming Mystery dungeon sequel doesn't count), Sheimi, and Arceus.

~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

I don't think a legendary pokemon has to be strictly native to one region, I see nothing significant about Ho-Oh appearing in both Johto and Orre. There are definitly more then one member of legendary pokemon species, except for special cases like Palkia and such. At the same time, I don't think the fact that Palmer had legendary pokemon is significant, since most games give legendary pokemon to the last enemy trainer at the end of particular modes. (Mt. Battle, Battle Tower, Poketopia, etc.) [[User:Mesprit|Mesprit]] 18:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


Ok, in regards to certain pokemon not being strictly native to one region, While that is technically true, there are holes that need to be explained. ONE, if you capture Ho-Oh in, oh, the Sevii Islands, for example, How is it able to reappear in Johto 3 years later? TWO, How can the 3 dogs be running around Kanto if they are supposed to be asleep in the Burnt Tower for another 3 years? In regards to Palkia and Dialga, let's just wait and see. Hey, we thought Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza were unique as well just because they were viewed as gods, and yet, they reappeared in Fiore, despite their being captured by the protagonist, which hints at their being an entire species (plus, they hinted that Kyogre and Groudon got into a scuffle when you find kyogre (it mentions a wound), and while they DID scuffle in Emerald, it wasn't even much of a scuffle since they were just standing there, and in the FMV depicting Rayquaza's arrival, neither of them had anything that hinted at a wound. Oh, and Dialga and Palkia are pokemon in Pokemon Ranger Batonnage (in extra missions, but still), and taking into account that Palkia or Dialga (depending on whether it's Pearl/Diamond) were most likely captured by the Protagonist, I think it's DEFINITELY certain that these are a different Dialga and Palkia.

Also, in regards to pokemon that haven't appeared in other games yet, I'd better change it to Mewtwo and Arceus, since Darkrai is going to be the main pokemon target in [[Pokemon Ranger Batonnage]]
and Sheimi is ALSO a pokemon that's capturable in Batonnage (I think this is the first event Pokemon since the Mew glitch to be introduced in a game BEFORE it's movie came out.)

::Actually, quite a FEW "side games" are actually more like main games since they tie in with the Main Games quite a bit. In the Colosseum games, the first one had an event that was the only way to legitimately get Celebi into the 3rd gen games/remakes, and since XD was a sequel to the first game, that ALSO ties in as well (Plus, it's also the only OTHER way to get Lugia into the 3rd gen games if you missed the event for Navel Rock). Plus, the first ranger game makes direct references to the main games, AND it's the only way to get Manaphy into Diamond and Pearl, and with Batonnage, That also gives direct linkage to D/P (Also, if you were one of the people who didn't get Darkrai in the original airing of the 10th movie, this is also the only OTHER way to get Darkrai into the D/P games.). the only games that should actually be considered Side Games are [[Pokemon Channel]] (The Jirachi event doesn't count, since it was exclusively in Europe), the Stadium Games, Pokemon Snap (sort of) and the Mystery Dungeon games.

::::Well, even Still, it was one of the only ways to get Manaphy into Diamond and Pearl. Besides, technically, the transfer of Manaphy from Pokemon Ranger/Batonnage to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl is a Mystery gift download as well, since you need the Mystery gift option to be unlocked BEFORE you can transfer Manaphy from Ranger/Batonnage to your D/P pack. Besides, I consider ANYTHING that has direct linkage to the main Gameboy/DS games (either it's one of the few ways [if not the only way] to acquire a pokemon or exclusive item, it references the games explicitly, or it has logical ties to the Pokemon main games, or all of the above {or most of the above}) to be part of the Main Games.

*There definitely seems to be more than one deoxys, think it's mentioned in one of the movies... I'm pretty sure there's only one Lugia and Ho-oh.. they can fly from place to place....... probably multiple of the golems, but judging by how he's described it seems like 1 regigas makes sense.. Also some of the stuff the above poster talked about seems a bit weird.... like the superancient pokemon not being unique simply because their fight wasn't that flashy.. or because you catch them, which seems to be to be noncanonish at least... even more so in Gen4.. catching a pokemon who controls time but.... then you only use it for a couple little battles? <,< .. not sure about the bunch of birds considering how much of a big deal they were in that movie. if all of them were caught a cataclysm would happen? [[User:Sylari|Sylari]] 06:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll prove to y'all that all 35 are legendaries. This is just a bunch of information bunched up, but if you read it and comprehend it, you'll understand it.

'''Gen I''': Mew is obviously a Legendary. Mewtwo is Legendary enough due to in-game stuff and anime stuff. Birds are legendary because 1) Mewtwo is legendary, and all four are similarly treated in RBYG/FRLG, and 2) folklore.

'''Gen II''': Dogs are Legendary with their relationships with Ho-oh (giving a third reason for birds being legendary due to Lugia). Ho-oh and Lugia are obviously treated as Legendaries. Celebi is event-''only'', automatically making it a Legendary.

'''Gen III''': Golems sit in one place, and they're the Legendary Trio of Hoenn. If Dogs and Birds are all Legendary, then the Golems are Legendary, further supported by Regigigas, a surefire legendary. Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are spoken of in myth and such and any version mascot in Gens II-IV main series (save FRLG) is Legendary, Suicune's inclusion fortifying all three trios as Legendaries. Jirachi/Deoxys=event only=Legendary. Latias and Latios roam and they're not pseudo-legendary, and in the Hoenn and National Dex they are in the middle of all the Legendaries, which logically speaking means they are Legendaries.

'''Gen IV''': Lake Trio is a trio. Dialga and Palkia (and Giratina now) are version mascots and key focuses in legends. Heatran is spoken of in myth and is placed with the Legendaries. Also, only Legendaries are not in the Sinnoh Dex in Platinum, and Heatran is in there. Regigigas is the trio master of the Regi trio, making him more Legendary than a standard trio, as already discussed. Darkrai is event-only, and Cresselia is its counterpart. This makes it obvious that Cresselia is Legendary (and, of course, Darkrai). Shaymin and Arceus are event-only (Arceus is '''the''' Legendary). Last but not least, Pokemon.com said it themselves Phione is a Legendary, making Manaphy a Legendary as well. That totals to 35.

That's all. [[User:Gligar|Gli]][[User talk:Gligar|gar]] 21:38, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== Another Giratina Comment ==

:Has it ever occurred to anyone that maybe since Giratina is from another dimension that maybe it's not supposed to really be grouped with the pokemon that we know of? I mean, there could be another dimension with other pokemon, other people, and another pokemon god just as powerful as Arceus, maybe more powerful. For all we know, Giratina could be the weakest pokemon in that dimension, maybe it's the Magikarp of the dimension. But I doubt the world of pokemon is that complicated. 


Palkia and Dialga spend most of their time in that other demension, and since Giratina has the same base stats as them, I believe it can be safely said that he is super-powered, no matter how you look at it. [[User:Mesprit|Mesprit]] 18:31, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

== Mewtwo being related to Lugia and Ho-Oh? ==

Well, I find that subject a bit touchy, and the main convergences were seen on gen II only, but, anyway:

-Their base stats are 106/154/130/110/90/90, in different orders (except HP, being 106 for all 3). They also had the highest BST of the 251 Pokemon present back then.

-All 3 were used by Silver/Rival in both Rounds of Stadium 2.

-In Gen II, the level-up moves were learnt in the levels that are multiples of 11. (Although Lugia and Ho-Oh were closer there, as the only move differences they had were Aeroblast/Sacred Fire, Hydro Pump/Fire Blast, and Rain Dance/Sunny Day.). Mewtwo also had two basic moves instead of one, but it is single type, while the other two have a double type.

-From Gen III onwards, they have had the same ability, Pressure.

So, well, what is your opinion?

[[User:Eriorguez|Eriorguez]] 01:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I think that Lugia and Ho-Oh were created to equal Mewtwo if you were to fight back then, so no player would get disadvantage. So there MUST be a relation of stats and Pokémon skills, yes.

Could sprites be implemented on this page? I notice this page doesn't seem to stand out as much as your average Pokemon article, list article, etc. Especially since it's listing and then describing specific Pokemon. [[User:Gligar|Gligar]] 20:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

== anime multiples.. ==

the section at the bottom says that in the anime 'multiples of most legendaries have been seen' .... which legendaries from the anime have there been confirmed to be multiples of.. just wondering, I can't think of any off the top of my head... [[User:Sylari|Sylari]] 05:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
:{{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Registeel}}.

:It also strongly implies {{p|Suicune}}, but doesn't outright confirm it. [[User:Sailorleo|Sailorleo]] 08:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
:Movie 1 and Movie 8 Mews. Also, there are three different Deoxys (two movie, one anime episode). [[User:Gligar|<font color="green">'''Gli'''</font>]][[User talk:Gligar|<font color="blue">'''gar'''</font>]] 15:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
::there's also Zapdos, and Moltres. Entei might also have multiples, as well as Raikou (If Suicune is implied to have multiples, they do as well.), it was stated that there are multiple Manaphy. Also, the Darkrai in [[DP104|the upcoming episode]] is most likely different from the Darkrai of Alamos town. There's also Latias and Latios, of course. Rayquaza probably has multiples as well (the intro to the 9th movie kinda hints at this.), and Kyogre and Groudon most likely have multiples (with Kyogre, 9th movie. for Groudon, if Kyogre has multiples, so does Groudon).

== Spiritomb ==

Should we add spiritomb in the Other Pokémon of myth section? Its Pokédex states that it was formed by 108 spirits and is bound to a fissure in an Odd Keystone because of misdeeds 500 years ago, so it makes sense. --'''[[User:Kevzo8|<font color="silver">keb</font>]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|<font color="gray" size="small">s.</font>]]''' 11:19, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

== Egg forms may not equal to reproduction ==

As I have also stated in another section, I do not believe that the eggs of the Legendary Birds shown in Pokémon Snap necessarily represent offspring.

While I partially agree on the fact that Legendary Pokemon may not be "one of a kind" in the literal sense, I also believe that the eggs that the Legendary Birds hatched from (specific to Pokémon Snap) are not of newborn offspring, but may just be a form of hibernation for any reason whatsoever (e.g. recovering from damages, hiding, long-term rest, etc).

In short; I believe that the egg states of the Legendary Birds shown in Pokémon Snap are not of offspring, but simply the birds emerging from a deep rest or recovery period.
