Legendary and Mythical Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the games and anime. For example, their {{wp|deity|godlike}} status is expressed in both the anime and the games, though in the anime they are shown to be able to breed, whereas in the games they cannot (though some, such as {{p|Latias}}, are implied to be ''able'' to breed and simply choose not to do so) | Legendary and Mythical Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode.

In the anime they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], and other people who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, due both to their rarity and their superior power. | ||
Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon via [[Poké Ball]]s or even as a non-owned Pokémon is not unheard of. An example of this is the fact that {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Likewise, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three {{TP|Brandon|legendary golems}} in Poké Balls and trained them. {{si|Tobias}} is another Trainer who has been shown to have a Legendary Pokémon in a Poké Ball, and is also the first Trainer shown to own a Mythical Pokémon, having a {{p|Darkrai}} and a {{p|Latios}}. Another Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] owned a {{p|Heatran}}. Finally, a [[Nurse Joy]] who visited the Pewter Gym under assignment of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] kept a {{p|Latias}} in a Poké Ball. | Trainers using Legendary and Mythical Pokémon via [[Poké Ball]]s or even as a non-owned Pokémon is not unheard of.
