Some Legendary Pokemon may be less rare than you think! Today we look into which ones are actually quite numerous. (Note: This video was made before the Crown Tundra and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, but Dynamax Adventures and Ramanas Park do not affect any pre-existing Pokemon.)
Music used in this video:
-Mezase Pokemon Master 1998 (Intro Theme)
-Slumbering Weald
-Bell Tower
-Latios Battle (Pokemon Masters)
-Mewtwo Battle (Pokemon Origins)
-Lake Trio Battle
-Ho-Oh Descends (Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You)
-Xenoblade Final Boss (Spoilers) - เกม
Who else thought for the longest time that there was only one of each legendary canonically?
It’s not a far fetched game theory considering encountering multiple Pokémon of the same legendary species is very rare
Me
I questioned that when I played gen 6
It seems they want it to be that way, for example what if multiple cresselia appear at the same time at skyarrow in unova, or multiple latias coming to Steven
same
It's kinda weird how we consider Xerneas and Yveltal as "relatively new" given X and Y came out the better part of a decade ago. Lol
It still feels new for some reason.
It still feels like it since when barly know about it
Probs cuz some people like me have been playing since the Ogs, so now pokemon time just feels like they're flying by i still think 5th gen is relatively new
I still think black and white is new tbh
Gonna be honest I class gen 1 2 3 as old gen 4 5 as relatively old gen 6 as relatively new and gen 7 as new and gen 8 as really new
Regarding why Porygon isn't Legendary while Type:Null is, it could be due to the fact that Porygon is mass-produced, whereas Type:Null theres only 3 of them. It wouldn't surprise me if Type:Null is only known to most people by word of mouth, he say she say, hence giving it the Legendary Pokemom status
@ToasterOvenFilms It's not confirmed that Macro Cosmos is the company that stole Type: Null data. Though I suppose it is likely, since a Macro Cosmos employee is the one that gives you a Type: Null.
Porygon is a PC software and Type Null is a Mod lol
Also, Porygon is capable of breeding together with a Ditto. Typ Null/Silvally aren't, what so ever.
Silvally also has origins in the Chimera, a hybrid beast with enhanced power. Silvally was made as a manade copy of Arceus and as a beast that could slay stronger, possibly legendary otherworldly beings.
Porygon meanwgile ist basically just some programing code. Impressive on its own and Porygon2/Z def have their strength. But lore wise don't quite reach Silvallys powers. Nor dp they play such a "meaningful" role as Silvally. One could argue, Silvally and Mewtwo are somewhat similar/ both being man-made creatures for combat reasons
Sylvally is the same case as Mewtwo and Genesect.
They are all man-made creations, that in theory should be replicable. But unlike other mand-made mons, they are also extremely powerful (both in-game and Lore-wise).
Mewtwo was made with the purpose of creating the most powerful Pokemon ever.
Genesect as Plasma's counter to Mewtwo.
Sylvally as a weaponized Mini-Arceus capable of defeating threats from another Dimension.
Anyone could replicate them, assuming, of course, you have the materials, data, blueprints and facilities + resources for such a task.
You found Genesect's DNA, and know how to build it's Cannon and Drives? Then you can make your own Genesect.
You found Mew's DNA, and know what modifications it had?
Then you can make a new Mewtwo.
You found the blueprints for Type: Full, how to build the RKS Systems plus all Memories, and the exact Pokemon body parts used, plus the Mask for if it goes out of control?
Then you can create another Type: Full.
@ToasterOvenFilms yes 3 exist in pokemon lore, the one gladion owns, he also gives one to the player character. And since we know there is a third, yet it doesn't work like the other two and was frozen. I assume macro cosmos and the ather at some point before the events of gen 8 worked together and gave macro cosmos the last type null they had.
Though thats a theory.
I Would consider bumping dialga, palkia and giratina a tier, with the sinnoh lore it makes sense to consider that they are one of a kind until arceus makes another in the event
Arceus could probably make eggs of any legendary
The argument he made for the creation trio was honestly extremely poor
I'm talking about the youtuber
Surely multiples of the creation trio would break the universe plus the way they’re spoken about in the Arceus movie implies there’s only one of each
@@shadowduke1535 Exactly.
Maybe we should just never mention the Five Star Raids in pokémon go, or he may have a nervous breakdown of how many Heatrans and Cobalions I own
I have 8 reshirams 😂😂
Rubén Sáez can I have one? Lol
Rubén Sáez me to
And don't mention the max lair
I just have a Articuno from before they were not in breakthroughs and a mewtwo from Giovanni ;-;
Imagine being literal god and still not considered a legendary
The divide between Mythic and Legendary has always been weird. Mythics are usually summed up by "They're the ones only available through events" but that doesn't prevent some of them from feeling like they should be Legendary while some Legendaries feel like they should be Mythics. I think the idea is the Pokemon with Legendary status are Legendary because people are aware of their existence and have notable proof while Mythics are usually like folklore or **hint hint** myths to the average person with more or less no solid evidence to prove their existence. And no the PC doesn't count lmao xD
Yeah because he's a mythical which is far rarer than legendarys
Mythicals are mythical because they're not as strong as legendaries
@@dimitrijames00001 so you are saying Arceus is not as a strong as legendaries?
@@josuegarro5437 yes. Despite being able to have every typing his stats are not as superior as something like giritina. I bet you're going to throw in someone like zappos in but it's bottom line still hits high enough stat by instead of it being good at all around attacking like giritina or very good at defending like kyroge it's special attacker with insane speed that still in ways are more superior than arceus
I think with the Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Arceus you are catching an avatar of them because the fundamental forces they represent would turn to chaos if some random 10 year old captured them. So they can be explained away to being as many avatars that they want to create
Looking back at this
You were at something
@@Oreca2005yeah bro cooked
Somewhere in Sinnoh, I remember and NPC saying something along the lines of: legendary Pokémon’s power is shrunk so it can fit into the reality of a poke ball, thus making it significantly weaker than when it’s in its own domian
@@f.f.2260explain pls?
Same deal with arceus imo, you aren’t catching god himself moreso a fragment or representation of him
If there were several Arceus, which one would we be expected to worship?
The one that has the best memes.
There is one Arceus in each Universe. So the one that exists in yours.
The one that owns the closest church to your house
The one for the type we like the most
@@wilfredynunez5263 there is actually only one as note
it existed by itself before anything else existed
Doesn't the "Arceus can create more of them" explanation applies to every pokemon, not just the creation trio. Ultimately no pokemon besides Arceus is unique for sure since he could just have created more of them at some point.
Yeah, I think the Creation trio should count as one of a kind since Arceus making them repeatedly isn't exactly cannon.
@@BushSage
I still don't think he will risk the balance of the universe on only a single copy of each of them.
One of Dialga's entries say that if his heart stops, time itself does too.
@@frenchrevenge6406 arceus would just make another if and when that happened, wouldn’t it?
@@frenchrevenge6406 bold of you to assume that Dialga can even die in the first place.
@@frenchrevenge6406 why not, it’s not like we have any reason or any material to try and assume how arceus would act
Lugia being the leader of the kanto birds makes no sense. It was literally invented for the 2nd movie and never brought up again, while Ho-oh has a backstory with the johto beasts in every medium. In pokemon rangers 3 it's not even Lugia who is summoned to face the legendary birds, but Ho-oh.
Ah yes the johto breasts. Forgot about those.
It is in the first mystery dungeon game, if u recrute all 3 they give u a stone later so u can meet their "guardian" and its lugia
I am fine with it being the case or not being the case. It kinda just depends on the game or story I guess. I can see Lugia specifically having authority over the Kanto trio specifically, but not any of the other bird trios that appear. They also don't seem to be very loyal in The Power of One.
Ho-oh's specifically the leader of the Legendary beasts because it revived them, and I assume they dedicated their lives and loyalty because of that.
Lugia lives in a far-off Island, so really the only Trio that could easily reach it at that point are the birds. I can see Lugia having a connection to Articuno and Zapdos, both Pokémon closely related to storms, but not really Moltres.
Lugia itself kinda makes no sense. It was added in Gold & Silver purely for marketing reasons, when the story of the games clearly focused on Ho-oh and the Legendary Beasts.
Yea that is the problem with many legendaries some have a nice backstory while others seams just to be there
There is only one mewtwo, that other one is actually mewthree.
LMAO 😂
Mewthree is what people called mega Mewtwo Y before it was known to be its mega form 🤦🏻♂️
Mewthree is a Pokémon which has never appeared in any game or anime episode, though it has had one appearance in the overall Pokémon franchise. It is the second clone of Mew. It is technically not a real Pokémon, as it is just a transformed form of Red's Clefairy.
Mention in the anime
After successfully cloning Mew and creating Mewtwo, one of the scientists exclaims that they should "get started on Mewthree".
Appearances in the manga
Pokémon Pocket Monsters Manga
In the Pocket Monsters manga, in Mewthree's only appearance to date, Red's Clefairy becomes Mewthree after merging its own DNA with that of Mewtwo's. Clefairy/Mewthree proceeds to battle and defeat Mewtwo before being reverted to normal.
There is no mewfour
@@finnyass1407 He was clearly joking about the Mewfour. So was the op about Mewthree.
9:30
It’s not a possibility, it already happened. Silvally is in the pool for trainers in the Battle Tower, so there has to be multiple Type: Null in Galar.
Interesting, I had no clue! Great find
And if Silvally is in the pool for trainers at the Battle Tower, then that means that it has to go in the same category as Type: Null, which could be Few of a Kind or could be moved higher than that.
Trainers can use Silvally in the battle tower?
@@PansyPops Yes! It can have 1 of 2 sets:
Thunder Wave, Parting Shot, Crunch, and Explosion, holding Heavy-Duty Boots, with an Adamant nature and 252 EVs in Attack and Speed
Hyper Voice, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, and Flamethrower, holding Throat Spray, with a Modest nature and 252 EVs in Sp. Atk and Speed
Source: bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Battle_Tower_Pok%C3%A9mon_(Generation_VIII)
It’s true though when I was playing about our in my sword game an old lady had Silvally meaning multiple exist
I think you gloss over the fact that it can be assumed player characters might release legendaries after some time. There's precedence for legendaries being released and recaught in future games - After all, N released Zekrom/Reshiram and it allowed itself to be caught by another trainer. For example, Mewtwo could have easily (for some reason) relocated to Kalos after being released. The same goes for Groudon and Kyogre
I also think Arceus creating new copies of Dialga/Palkia/Giratina is kind of cheating. After all, he's theoretically the one that created all Pokemon in the first place. Based on that in-game event, it can be assumed he could arbitrarily make another copy of any of them. I don't think that lessens the Sinnoh trio's "one of a kind" status, as told in the region's myths. And who knows if that Cynthia event is really canon, since you could only obtain Arceus through mystery gift, since its main-game event was never released.
To be Fair N kind of just recruits pokemon nearby to help and never brings them with him so that’s just typical for him whereas it’s not really something seen by any other characters outside of Pokémon rangers, so I’m not sure if he’s the best example to use for precedent of normal trainer or player character behavior.
There's some debate as to wether or not Kyurem is an alien or the leftovers of the original dragon, but I always thought the meteor and original dragon theories were BOTH true;
Kyurem came to earth in a meteorite fused with Zekrom and Resheram, but rather than the Kyurem we know, it was the complete form. When either Zekrom or Reheram fuse with it, they are still called Kyurem, just with black or white as a describing word. If Zekrom and Resheram fused with Kyurem, they'd just be 'Kyurem complete' kinda like how ultra Necrozma is still Necrozma. When people say 'Kyurem came from a meteorite' they could be talking about the original Kyurem fused with both Zekrom and Resheram, who later unfused. It's also not hard to see that the giant chasm is a meteor impact site, soooo... ya. I think both versions are true. Or not. Pokemon lore is a meeeeeees
There is not really a debate whether he is a leftover of the original dragon or not. That is literally canon lol. Him coming from a meteor originally is another topic, and might also be true, but the former is not even debatable
@@grydon6422 Agreed. I think it's far more likely that both are true but Kyurem was already confirmed as the original, in game if I remember right. The way it seems, it's probably likely that the original Kyurem (Who hadn't yet been split apart by the two heroes) crash landed on earth via the meteorite. And after going on a rampage, was split into three distinct Pokemon. Him not learning Meteor Beam or whatever like the dude in the video mentioned could be summed up via the idea that not every Pokemon of a certain type learns every move within its own type. I'd probably place Kyurem in the same boat as Necrozma, Deoxys, and Eternatus.
My theory is that Giant Chasm was the site where the Original Dragon was split up into Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem. The result was akin to an atomic bomb (y’know, the bomb that works by splitting atoms). But again, this is just a theory. It could also be that when the Original Dragon split, Kyurem was sent blasting off (like Team Rocket) and landed in the area that we now know as Giant Chasm.
(I meant, like, debated within the Pokemon world, should've clarified oop)
But those are some cool ideas!
@@TheSylveonSurfer I agree with this except Kyurem is 100% one of a kind. While he may be a alien like Deoxys, Rayquaza, and Eternatus, only his original form is in the same spot as them. You cannot re-create the original dragon (sadly) so that husk form of Kyurem is the only one in existence since no other dragon has that form. You could argue that Necrozma lost his true form and that one should be unique as well, but he can canonly re-transform into it again. Kyurem cannot
i think latias and latios can probably be safely knocked down to common. since dex entries, movies and episodes all refer to there being multiple herds and so behave effectively like normal animals, which means that probably be close the normal "rare" animal numbers of around 10k indeviduals
Populations are probably still below 100, herds of 3-5 are probably most common
My Pokémon are the true one of a kind friends, and any others we encounter are simply fakes.

@@depressedfalconsfan2338 yessir
Hope everyone is having a great day :)
Also I forgot to mention, the legendaries seen in the Rainbow Rocket episode are also from alternate timelines and weren't taken into consideration
EDIT: Dynamax Adventures and Ramanas Park came out after this video was made, but neither have any impact on the Pokemon in this video.
and you !
You too!
Since you didn’t include Pokemon from the Hoopa Rings in gen 6 I assumed you wouldn’t count them either, since (like you said) they are from alternate timelines and realities, where they successfully managed to capture their legendary Pokemon.
I think it’s safe to assume that in most cases, the Undiscovered egg group might mean that it doesn’t breed in captivity rather than it cannot reproduce entirely. Some animals, like Rhinos, have been almost impossible to successfully breed in captivity irl, so that could be the reason in the games. Note that Nidoqueen is also in the Undiscovered egg group.
There's a theory that Nidoqueen can't breed cuz Nidoqueen is actually a clone. Every evolution until Nidoqueen can breed except her
Are you suggesting that rhinos are legendary???
@@dennisonwant1808 no but science experiments cant
@@dennisonwant1808given how there's less than 30000 rhinos left on earth. Yes, yes they are legendaries
@@the_weeb_killing_king did you know, that female rhinos are extremely difficult animals to breed in captivity? Male rhinos pump out those gametes like most other mammals at their size
The rarest is shiny Cosmog because it doesn't officially exist yet. You can have one but it's not legitimate.
Come back here 5 years later to correct me when they make it an event in Gen 9 or something.

Never forget shadow lugia 😔✊
I like how eternatus is on the cover with the word “rare” when I’m the game story he is a guaranteed catch
Doesnt change its rarity? It only exists once
That just. The dev's making it a guaranteed capture
@@josh-w2030 which is cool. Trying to catch Legendary and Mythical by chance is nearly worse than looking for gf.
I came here just for this comment. I would never have figured out what that legendary was lol.
a. Rare doesn't equal hard to catch, Feebas is the rarest Pokemon in gen 3 and is also a guaranteed catch
b. You only catch Eternatus after defeating it, so you throw a ball at it when it is in an extremely weakened state.
Regarding the appearance of Groudon and Kyogre in HGSS. It's canon that the player never actually caught them in RSE. Following their battle in RSE's story, the two pokemon left for the Fiore region to rest, where they make their Pokemon Ranger appearance. Since the player is literally incapable of catching them in a Pokeball in that game, it's reasonable to think that after leaving Fiore, they ended up in Johto, where you have the opportunity to catch them in the postgame. In general, any pokemon that you aren't forced to catch in the story mode of a game should be considered "optional content" and therefore non-canon in terms of the player character catching them (albeit canon in terms of "they are at this location at this point in time"). This is why Mewtwo can reappear in HGSS despite having the postgame OPPORTUNITY to catch them in RBY and FRLG.
Note that when I say "postgame" here, I don't mean stuff like post-championship stories (i.e. the Delta Episode, Rainbow Rocket, or Swordbert and Shieldbert). That stuff is still part of the "main" story and therefore canon to that game, even if it's after you become champion and the credits roll.
I don't really take the side games barring the Orre duology as canon
I’d imagine there are more of the original dragon (or were if they‘ve gone extinct) but since Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem were all created from unorthodox circumstances then I’d imagine there’s only one of them, with the other original dragons having the potential to also split and become those three (if they still exist that is).
Concerning Dynamax Adventures: Dynamaxing is possible through _Wishing Stars,_ so it is possible those legendary Pokemon are born through the wishes and desires of the player, meaning they are basically magically created into existence.
Interesting cool theory
So, they are the Grey Prince Zotes of pokemon
I feel like Lugia should've at least been moved up to fairly common because there actually isn't one for every trio due to the fact that there isn't a Galarian Lugia or even a Lugia for the Galarlian Legendary birds. And even if that's true it doesn't always have to be a different Lugia, because in Galar there are TWO legendary bird trios you have the Galarian ones and the ones in the Dynamax adventures raids, yet only one Lugia is present.
That is my evidence as to why Lugia isn't as common as the legendary birds. (even if it can reproduce)
Oh crap I forgot about shadow Lugia. Yes this is via AFTER the expansion pass was released.
I'd argue that the Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are one of a kind definitely. Now there may be more Kyurem out there but not the one we know. I'm talking about the original dragon Kyurem before the three way split. That dragon may have more than one of them roaming around. However the leftover husk of a Kyurem we know is one of a kind as is the pieces that split which are Reshiram and Zekrom. Unless that original species of dragon that the original dragon of Kyurem is just has a predisposition to splitting into three, then those three are a very specific and one of a kind case.
Necrozma and Eternatus I would hold off on judgement. Extra-terrestrial and extra dimensional pokemon are only rare on the planet of Pokemon and they could extremely common in their home environments. After all the Ultra Beasts are common as spit in Ultra Space, with one being so common that not only is it a starter pokemon in Ultra Space, it's the equivalent of a route 1 Pidgey or Rattata.
Lastly, I would drop Silvally a tier and move Zygarde up. Anyone with a Type: Null can just get a Silvally. It's not one of a kind, just few of a kind. With Zygarde there should be only one whole. The rest are pieces of the same pokemon. You wouldn't count each individual member of a Falinks as its own Pokemon even though they can operate separately, Zygarde and its cells and cores are no different. It's all just one Pokemon that's in pieces.
3:50 I know you said "Regigigas crafted them from far more scarce materials," but I initially heard "Regigigas crapped them" LOL
Regigigas has mad constipation.
i would like to say that necrozma is one of a kind as it was once known as "the giver of light" which may mean it once traveled through ultra wormholes giving light to galaxies

Zigzagoon: ”Oh boy....”
FINALLY!
A poke-tuber making content on Species Diversity! I love your videos. Dam you're amazing!
I love the idea of this and it could make amazing series talk about the origin regions of Pokemon. Such as Diamond Dust being implied to create Vanilite. And how Metagross could not be native from hoene but are attracted to the magnetic draw of The Giant Chasm. Just something I always thought about.
I loved this video and was a a concept I’ve actually thought about before! I’ve always been confused when I see multiple legendaries but this explains it! Thank you and keep up the great work!
"Let's hope nothing happens in the immediate future that changes the status of any of these legendaries' rarities"
*Lair raids have entered the chat*
Haha, but with all due seriousness, I don’t think it’s very cannon that almost every legendary Pokémon just so happened to gather in the same cave at the same time.
i'd consider Lair Raids something like Ultra wormhole. They are probably just legendary pokemon from another universe
I dont think anything mentions timelines or wormholes being involved in the lairs, and in game characters talk about the raid lair pokemon as some normal thing. Id say its canon but GF/TPC dont care about cannonicity as much as they value giving people cool pokemon
@@ashblawesome6757 Actually Ultra Wormholes are somewhat tied to the Max Lair in the Crown Tundra. Once you complete the 3 quests Peony gives you, you get access to a 4th quest which details an Ultra Wormhole has opened above the Max Lair.
I would like to think Heatran would be pretty common, considering one random dude in the DP anime just has it
Also Heatran is one of the few legendaries with gender so even though they can’t breed through game mechanics, that makes them feel more common than others.
Maybe he used an action replay like Tobias
@@vaporterraThere is nothing like genderless. Every living being have gender. So I think every legends have genders. Just the Dex unable to show it because, there is no any chance to examine that. Since they rarely appear front of people. Plus game mechanics
@@esztervarga5431 That's absolute bullshit, ever heard of mitosis?
Even in one of the movies (don't remember which one) we see them walking in the volcano's walls.
Pokémon fought as part of a battle facility don't count as seen in the Pokédex, so I would argue that they shouldn't be considered as canon appearances.
I liked the video though, it's fun to think about.
Yeah I’d say those fights are non canon, just like you playing online and people having 6Arceus doesn’t make that canon.
@@grydon6422 i literally had that happen to me once. i somehow managed to take out 3 of them
Groudon casually flexes on Kyogre by creating endless Entei on a whim.
Would love to see Kyurem absorb both Reshiram and Zekrom to see if it becomes the original dragon again
Im not gonna lie, i thought there was only legendary in all of existence. Like I thought the bird trio for example was only one trio...
My mind is shattered
For Rayquaza, you already mentioned the alternate dimensions as a potential theory with Groudon and Kyogre, but you neglected the alternate dimensions that were specifically mentioned in ORAS, which are based on whether or not the ultimate weapon was used in Kalos. HGSS take place in an alternate universe from ORAS, and thus using the meteorite does not mess with Canon at all.
id argue that silvally have the potential to be as 'common' as type null as all you need is a trainer who is able to build a friendship with a type null. so far in lore gladion's is probably the only one, but there will likely be more in the future
You think you found multiple legendaries?
BUT it's me, ditto!!!
Way I see it is that if a past gen legend appears in another regions, thats just there for game play since if they didn't, all the legends would be generation locked or only be able to be passed via transferring them up
If each legendary have shiny forms wouldn't that mean that every legendary is more than one in number?
Well, Not Really. In Some Universes Certain Legends Are Different Colored.
@@ZimVerse
Yes
So here's my thing Ho-oh can revive itself cause it's like a phoenix. So I imagine there is 1 Ho-oh every 50 or so years but when they die they revive every so often. Just enough to be rare but enough to show there's more than one
I actually really enjoyed this video. Earned a new subscriber and a like!
For the creation trio its worth noting that the pokemon we call Dialga, Palkia and Giratina are very likely just avatars of the aspects they embody. They likely came into being when Arceus created the dimensions they inhabit, or perhaps they are the dimension; and what 10 year old little Timmy catches is not a reality ending monster but a glorified puppet that these godly beings use to exert their will on the world. By that logic Arceus could just create a new puppet and hook it up to the meta verse without having to create double the time/space/gravity
about rayquaza, there's a shiny one shown a few times in the animes. idk how canon tho.
The movie wasn't cannon
Well put together, very interesting to listen to. So thank you for that. Now when my friends' younger kids get older and start asking me these types of questions I know where to look lol. Thank you for saving me the serval hours of looking and checking.
Eternatus may be a more matured Necrozma variant.
Ultra Necrozma is part Dragon, came to Alola through space travel, and has connections to alien-lifeforms.
Eternatus is part Dragon-Type, came to Galar through space travel, and resembles an alien or skeleton.
They both are also prismatic//crystalline in structure and have similar movesets AND world-ending properties...
For Necrozma, your just using the knowlege from Sun And Moon. In the next core series entries, Necrozma is highly suggested to be a god on the same levels as Arceus. Meaning that it is one of a kind.
I had a thought since legends arceus came out. Since every game cartridge is it’s own universe and every generation is on a separate cartridge, that could mean that legendaries in the same “timeline” of games could be drawn to the player character in different regions. I like to think that after fighting and catching arceus in PLA, arceus realises that there is something special about the player character (you playing as them). Arceus tells the creation trio and they tell other legendaries. So now whenever you start your Pokémon journey, every legendary under the sun realises somethings up makes a beeline for whatever region you’re playing in. Which is why every legendary is available in every region as of late.
I know this is dead wrong but I like the idea of this lol.
Mew is the most common pokémon amongst cosmog. Billions of mews were created and eventually evolved and adapted to each environment. And since the universe is infinite there needs to be infinite cosmog for each sun and moon
I've never considered the Battle Buildings canonical since participating in them suddenly disables experience and changes your Pokémons' levels.
On the embedded tower. Since they are version exclusive I have a theory. In Heart gold you find kyogre, in Ruby/Omega ruby you find groudon. They are both the first game listed in the pair. When you find Groudon in Ruby in the hoenn region Kyogre is found in the embedded tower in the johoto region in heart gold and vice versa for soul sliver and sapphire. As for Rayquaza the Jade orb is actually a meteorite that looks like jade and summons rayquaza the same way he is summoned in Oras.
Thank you for the Zanza music towards the end, that song goes hard
Tbh the Legendary Beasts are never mentioned to be actually "created" when the tower burned down, it's just mentioned that Ho-Oh revived them, so they could've easily already been species of Entei, Raikou and Suicune that were just given life once again, so yeah there can be multiple of them, specially Entei
I was gonna complain about Deoxys, Arceus, etc not being here, then I remembered mythicals exist.
Well of course Zekrom Reshiram and Kyurem are one of a kind, as they are not "Natural" Pokémon, but Pokémon created by the splitting of there original form. I didn't know that there was a misunderstanding there for some people. P.S. look up Tao trio original form images, there are some great concepts for what that Pokémon would have looked like, my favorite being Vahirom a Dragon/Steel type.
Crown Tundra legendaries come from the ultra space wilds like in usum, because it's mentioned that solgaleo/lunala (depending on your version) was the first pokemon spotted in the max lair, and that every other legendary followed afterwards
That was my theory!

Good video. I'll though this is a prime example on why I prefer the manga in terms of lore over the games. The games just for mechanical reasons include multiples of legendaries across generations but for most of them I really don't think it fits at all. The manga gets to stick with keeping each of the legendaries pretty rare which I prefer
Idk whether the creation trio one counts since arceus could literally create any Pokemon on this list whenever it wants
to add to this in the S/V games: Koraidon and Miraidon are definitely in the few of a kind, since the games have two of each come to the present day, but it's likely there are a good number of em since they're paradoxes of cyclizar; and the ruinous quartet are def all one of a kind since they were all born of single items.
A year late I know, but one thing I'd like to point out is that it's actually stated in the anime that, at the very least, Articuno can reproduce as well, as in the episode involving Todd who wants to take a photo of an Articuno, a Nurse Joy at a cabin at the base of a tall snowy mountain states that every year or so, an Articuno comes and can be seen flying to the top of the mountain, presumably to a nest where it lays eggs.
you should do a video about how legendaries/mythical's are over saturated and don't feel like what there suppose to be or how there are too many legendaires and which aren't really necessary
Though they weren't on the list, I think we can say with certainty that the "regular" ultra beasts are common. Pretty sure it's implied that in the UB world we visit, that they're a common threat.
Sword and Shield comes barreling in, guns a' blazin, it then shouts: "DYNAMAX ADVENTURES BAYBEEEEEEEE"
Something to consider is the wording people use in the games and anime. For example, Maxie and Archie talk about catching a Kyogre/Groudon. They were more numerous in the ancient past, but now the few left are mostly dormant. Ash and Lana also help a Kyogre. As for Kyurem theories, I haven't played enough Unova to know the timelime. Was the meteor during the time of the brothers or long after?
About Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, they were available in Sinnoh also in Platinum from Prof Oak in Eterna City (I think it was Eterna)
It's weird to think that there's more than one of the Swords of Justice. They're implied to be one of a kind in both the games and the anime.
Dynamax Adventures: *ima bouta end this mans whole career*
Somewhere in another region is a post office. There’s a wormhole above it, a den bellow it, and a Jin pokemon haunting it. The portals are convenient for delivery but beasts come out occasionally. The post master subdues them and then tasks a person to find a trainer for it. They find you. They always find you. No matter where you are. They are watching you. And that was the weather.
Each Legendary Tier by number likely existing per universe
Thousands:Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mew, Latias, Latios, Deoxys, Heatran, Manaphy, Shaymin, Zygarde, Diancie
Hundreds:Celebi, Regirock, Regice, Registeel
Dozens:Regigigas, Genesect, Type Null, Solgaleo, Lunala
Very Few: Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Uxie, Mespirit, Azelf, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina
Probably Only 1:Arceus, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem
Common mistake, Necrozma isn't actually an Ultra Beast. Evidence is that the beast balls actually dont have a higher chance on it. It may have been from another universe, similar to the Ultra Beast, it may have a whole species of other Necrozma, similar to the Ultra Beast. But it is not one. Seeing as you didn't mention other Ultra Beasts I think you knew all this
Maybe the Beast Ball works off a characteristic that all the Ultra Beast share but Necrozma doesn't.
In the TCG it's considered one, but the TCG is weird sometimes.
@@employee4272 I didn't know that, thank you
Bird Keeper Toby did a theory on the type Null yesterday.
Etunatus is actually like Giratina because Etunatus was trapped in a meteorite as a jail cell because it used to be the protector of space and time but then it got overwhelmed with power and wanted more AKA dynamax energy so its not really that much like necrozma
The game Pokemon Nobunaga ambition maybe a spin off game but it does make mention of the other regions from the main line games not any specifically. I barely played the beginning of the game so I don't know which Pokemon appear in it but the legendary Pokemon that appear in the game besides Arceus that you may have labeled as one of a kind or almost one of a kind may have more residing in this games region since it's events are most likely happening at the same time as some of the main line games events are happening.
And we don't count the legends in hoopa rings or ultra wormholes
*Laughs in Dynamax Adventure.*
Whenever JPR uses Xenoblade music in his vids: 😮
14:00 I did not expect to see a Xenoblade track in a Pokémon vid, good taste
I'm not sure if there are multiple mewtwo's, I believe the tv series are also multiple timelines with some main splits with x and y. The mewtwo that we are used to "the original mewtwo" follows the x route, and the mewtwo that is more social is the y-route.
Good question...
You got things a bit confused as to what is considered canon in pokemon. Anything that isnt created by game freak isnt canon. Not sure why do you keep mentioning movies anime and manga as canon material.
I don't think that's true. They're all licensed by The Pokemon Company right? Why would the anime and manga not be canon?
Every piece of official pokemon media is canon. However, just because it's canon - doesn't mean it's on this timeline or in this universe. Multiverse entering the fray in Gen 6 killed any sort of "Is the anime canon or not?" arguments. The anime, Gens 3-5, Gens 6+, and most likely Gens 1-2 are all in separate timelines.
@@jaernihiltheus7817 Says who? Unless they come out and specifically state that its different timeline then it isnt canon. First thing that comes out are the games and then everything else is based on them with changes. Mainline games is whats canon.
@@lumberjacktl97 they have, to my knowledge, not specifically stated that the anime is an alternate timeline in the games' multiverse, no. However, the anime has dealt with the multiverse before in the xyz series, ash greninja is a thing in gen 7, and a photo of ash and pikachu make a cameo in gen 7 as well. And considering they both have multiverses, and the games have made several direct call backs and references to the events of the anime in recent years, there's no logical way that the anime(s) don't exist within the games' canonical multiverse.
Therefore, while not strictly, definitively canon, it is canon by both implication (introducing multiverse theory in general makes former non-canon material highly likely to be canon in an alternate universe by default), and references (ash greninja, ash & pikachu picture).
I am curious as to why you omitted Deoxys and Darkrai? Do you consider them mythical? I thought that there can only be one per generation(I am combining Phione and Manaphy because one is the baby evo of the other)
I love how there's a random cosmog in a random house in the new crown of tundra dlc
I'm glad they've started using Hoopa to explain the appearance of legendaries in other regions. It gives a convenient excuse for them to appear potentially anywhere without conflicting with their established lore.
I feel like the "Entei being born" thing is just some myth rather than fact....
Also, Battle Frontier and the likes I feel shouldn't be counted. Those trainers are supposed to be competitive training rather than taken seriously as characters. So I feel that also isn't canon. After all, in the Pokemon games, the studio where the games were created can also be found.
Also, the Legendary Birds fly around the entire world. And the variants of them only exist AFTER portals to other dimensions exist.
Heard xenoblade music, you deserve my sub
well if you go with the pkm adventure as a source the trio in the shinjoh ruin is the same as the trio in diamond/pearl/platinum as the shinjoh event happened b4 and right at the end you see cynthia seeing them flying back to shinnoh. Pokemon media is very conflicting so i guess stick to one source i guess. Also you can't just use "cuz it appear in different games so there are multiples of them" as a reason cuz lots of stuff were changed and adapted for different games, the embedded tower thing was just supposed to be one of few rayquaza sleeping spot and then it was adapted as a way to get the other 2.
Aside from the golems, birds, dogs trio, pretty much every else is one of a kind (aside from some weird one like lugia/cosmog or "non box art" like urshifu)
I thought that deoxys was considered a legendary after the delta episode, so I was surprised he wasn't on the list. At least him being alien tells you where he would've fit on it
He should definitely be considered a legendary
He's still a mythical Pokemon
Game Freak seems to be split on this one
I despise the notion that any legendary isn't one of a kind, with only a handful of exceptions. Having any more than one master of space or time sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Why are there certain legendaries outside their original regions? Either they were never canonically captured or they are only there as post game stuff to keep the player busy for a little longer.
Why do post game trainers casually have legendaries? They either canonically captured them, like with N, or, in the case of every battle facility leader, it's just the easy way to make post game trainers stronger than the main game stuff.
Why is Ho-Oh in Orre during Colosseum? It's retaliating against Cipher for capturing and corrupting it's "children", the legendary beasts.
there cannot be more then one Dialga, Palkia or Giratina because they are the concepts of time, space and antimatter so they exist always and there is only one
I always though of it like this that they create avatars because they don't have a body that can interact with regular pokemon
@@trent800 There canonly is another Dialga, Palkia, or Giritina. Arceus literally creates one for you in a cutscene. Outside of this scenario, you are correct
@@Dragofrost7777 that is non cannon and even if it was could just be a avatar because Giratina is confirmed to be the distortion world like the actual world
Love the music choice (specially that song from Xenoblade Chronicles)
Never thought I'd hear the Zanza theme playing while someone talks about Reshiram and Zekrom lmao.
Everyone and their mom has a regi
"There may be only one silvally: the one that gladion uses"
Me who has silvally on my Sword team: "There is another"
Coalossal after learning meteor beam: "Perhaps I am an alien"
Gotta love that action replay.
Honestly, I don't think the anime should count. There are so many legendary Pokemon In the anime. he anime said UNOWN was a lengendary. And I belive the Home Regions should only count as well. It's just to make them avaliable to newer players, or at least I THINK so.
