This category mostly consists of [[event Pokémon]], with the exception of Deoxys. Mythical Pokémon were considered to be [[Legendary Pokémon]] prior to Generation V in non-Japanese media, but are now considered a separate, related group of Pokémon. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.

+In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to Generation V, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon (and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused); in non-Japanese media from Generation V onward, the two groups are presented as distinct groups. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.
