-'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
-While most are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there is another term in the English version and two more in the Japanese version. The first is '''legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''伝説のポケモン''' ''legendary Pokémon''), which refers to Pokémon who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. The second is '''mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''幻のポケモン''' ''illusory Pokémon''), which refers to Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence. The third term only exists in the Japanese version and is known as (Japanese: '''神話のポケモン'''), literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.
+'''Legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''伝説のポケモン''' ''Legendary Pokémon'') are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.
+While most Pokémon in this group are referred to as simply "legendary", there exist two other groups that can be considered subsets of legendary Pokémon. The first, '''mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''幻のポケモン''' ''illusory Pokémon''), refer to Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence. Most [[Event Pokémon]] fall into this category. The second term, (Japanese: '''神話のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon''), lacks an official English equivalent and refers to the specific Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.
