'''Special Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特別|とくべつ}}なポケモン''' ''Special Pokémon'') is a term referring to a group of [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] games and side games that are restricted or banned from certain official tournaments, battle facilities, and link battle formats. With the exception of {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Zygarde}}, they are all [[game mascot]]s (but not all game mascots are Special Pokémon). While the concept exists in all generations, the term was not used until [[Generation IV]].

Whenever special Pokémon are restricted or banned, Mythical Pokémon are banned. While often only special Pokémon are mentioned to be banned when both special Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are, the description of the [[GS Cup]] indicates that Mythical Pokémon are not special Pokémon.
