The ''[[Pokémon Ultimate Handbook]]'' predates the split between Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in English, therefore all those Pokémon are classified as "'''Legendary Pokémon'''". Additionally, {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Rotom}} are said to be Legendary Pokémon as well.

Most pages are about multiple Pokémon, except the Legendary Pokémon, as well as {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, each having its own page with a starry background and a glow around the box stating its species name and {{pkmn|category}}. However, Spinda and Spiritomb are not claimed to be Legendary Pokémon. Even though Delibird is claimed to be a Legendary Pokémon and it has the glow around the species box, it shares a page with another Pokémon ({{p|Delcatty}}, which is the preceding Pokémon in alphabetical order) and it lacks the starry background.
