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. The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} is the exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon in the Pokédex.
