Legendary leaders

Rayquaza arriving to quell Groudon and Kyogre's fighting

Some Legendary or Mythical Pokémon are known to oversee one or more Legendary groups. For Legendary trios, this Pokémon has often been referred to by fans as a trio master, though some Legendary trios with leaders have since expanded into larger groups.

This Pokémon and its Legendary group may relate in different ways. For example, Lugia is often considered the leader of the legendary birds; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when Lawrence III captures one of them in the second movie, The Power of One.

Sometimes a particular member of a group oversees the other members, serving as what some fans have called an internal master. For example, Rayquaza is the leader of the super-ancient Pokémon; it stopped the other two members' fighting in Pokémon Emerald. Another example is mentioned in the Generation V games; Landorus punishes Thundurus and Tornadus for causing storms as a result of their fighting.

In the games, these Pokémon often require that their subordinates be caught before being encountered.

According to legend, Arceus created all three members of the Pokémon of Myth after creating the universe, with Dialga and Palkia representing matter, and Giratina representing anti-matter. Arceus also created the lake guardians, which each represent different aspects of spirit. The lake guardians check balance with the Pokémon of Myth. Arceus, known as the Original One, was named Almighty Sinnoh by the Celestica people, before the Diamond and Pearl Clans had used the name to refer to Palkia and Dialga instead. Arceus was also shown to be capable of using the Pokémon of Myth's powers at will, manipulating time, space, and anti-matter, even including their signature moves, Roar of Time, Spacial Rend and Shadow Force, as seen in its boss fight.

According to the Malie Library, Necrozma had taken the form of Dusk Mane^US/Dawn Wings^UM Necrozma and taken away Alola's and either Solgaleo's^US or Lunala's^UM light.

Ogerpon and the Loyal Three

Battle between Ogerpon and the Loyal Three

After the Loyal Three gained strength from their toxic chains, they stole Ogerpon's masks, but became mistakenly recognized as heroes of Kitakami, and Ogerpon was seen as a villainous ogre. The trio held a strong grudge against Ogerpon after it slayed them, and Ogerpon appeared to fear and hate them for everything they'd done to it. When Ogerpon is sent into battle against Pecharunt in the Mochi Mayhem epilogue, it will give a similar vicious reaction, as Pecharunt is responsible for the Loyal Three's toxic chains, and accompanied them when they stole Ogerpon's masks.
