* On [[Pokémon.com]], an article about the 2017 Pokémon Video Game Championships rules and regulations [http://archive.is/tIguO originally stated] that no Mythical or Legendary Pokémon are allowed, but was [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/battle-today-using-the-2017-pokemon-vg-championships-format/ updated] to state that Mythical and some Legendary Pokémon are not allowed. As this text was specifically changed to allow certain Legendary Pokémon, this means that some of the Pokémon allowed in the 2017 Pokémon Video Game Championships must be Legendary Pokémon. The only Pokémon that could possibly qualify are these Pokémon. | * On [[Pokémon.com]], an article about the 2017 Pokémon Video Game Championships rules and regulations [http://archive.is/tIguO originally stated] that no Mythical or Legendary Pokémon are allowed, but was [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/battle-today-using-the-2017-pokemon-vg-championships-format/ updated] to state that Mythical and some Legendary Pokémon are not allowed.

* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} onward, when obtained (in the {{pkmn2|wild}} or as a {{pkmn2|gift}}), Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are guaranteed to have three {{IV}}s of 31. (In {{g|X and Y}}, this was instead the case for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.) These Pokémon also all have this property, but it has never been stated that this property must be exclusive to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in Generation VII. | |||
* Japanese-language episode summaries<ref>http://imgur.com/eojk7UE</ref><ref>http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_sunmoon/episodes/</ref> for [[SM019]] explicitly call Tapu Koko a Legendary Pokémon, although the animated canon has made mistakes before; it is unclear if these summaries were provided by an official source or were simply improvised by writers not affiliated with official sources. | |||

* In a screen on the [[Rotom Pokédex]] (which lists only the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola regional Pokédex]]), all Pokémon have one of three background colors: a blue color shared by almost all Pokémon, a yellow/gold color shared by confirmed Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, and a green color shared by these Pokémon<ref>http://imgur.com/a/1xkGy</ref>. It is possible that these Pokémon not having a yellow/gold background color classifies them as non-Legendary, but it is also possible that the green color is intended to be used by non-{{pkmn2|Special}} Legendary Pokémon (as all of the Pokémon with a yellow/gold background are either Mythical Pokémon or Special Legendary Pokémon). However, this is not possible to confirm because the Alola regional Pokédex does not include any of the other known non-Special Legendary Pokémon. | * In a screen on the [[Rotom Pokédex]] (which lists only the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola regional Pokédex]]), all Pokémon have one of three background colors: a blue color shared by almost all Pokémon, a yellow/gold color shared by confirmed Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, and a green color shared by these Pokémon<ref>http://imgur.com/a/1xkGy</ref>.

* When adding a confirmed Legendary Pokémon to the Rotom Pokédex, it will specifically mention that it is a Legendary Pokémon. When obtaining one of these Pokémon, the Rotom Pokédex will comment on its group instead (Land Spirits, Ultra Beasts, or unable to describe Type: Null and Silvally), thus failing to confirm or deny their status. These groups may be considered groups outside of the group of Legendary Pokémon, or they may be considered sub-groups within the group of Legendary Pokémon. | * When adding a confirmed Legendary Pokémon to the Rotom Pokédex, it will specifically mention that it is a Legendary Pokémon.
