 In  ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', there is an engraving of Legendary Pokémon, specifically the [[Legendary birds]] {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Zapdos}}, as well as {{p|Arcanine}}. Even though Arcanine is not actually a Legendary Pokémon, this is likely related to Arcanine's {{pkmn|category}} and [[Pokédex]] entries referring to it as one.
+In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is specifically said that {{p|Unown}} is a '''Legendary Pokémon''', and it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon. Unown's power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon. In an early trailer for this movie, the narrator refers to Unown as "more '''legendary''' than {{p|Lugia}}, more mysterious than {{p|Mew}}".
 In ''[[M12|Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', {{p|Arceus}} is said to be a '''Legendary Pokémon'''. This is the only instance of a Mythical Pokémon being called "Legendary" in the English dialogue from a [[Pokémon movie]]. However, both {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Arceus}} are called "Legendary" in the English marketing blurbs for their respective movies (''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' and ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', respectively).
-Even though {{p|Unown}} is not a Legendary Pokémon, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', it is shown in [[Molly Hale]]'s book about Legendary Pokémon. Its power (in large numbers, at least) appears to match that of Legendary Pokémon, and within the canon of the movie, it is specifically referred to as a Legendary Pokémon.
