In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, [[Professor Rowan]] refers to {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} as '''mirage Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''まぼろしのポケモン''' ''Mythical Pokémon'') using the Japanese term for [[Mythical Pokémon]].

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (as well as in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}), [[Cyrus]] refers to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} as "'''[[Pokémon of Myth|mythical Pokémon]]'''" (Japanese: '''{{ruby|神話|しんわ}}のポケモン''' ''Mythical Pokémon'').

However, this predates the primary use of the term Mythical Pokémon in English and has a different name to "Mythical Pokémon" in all languages other than English.
