Legendary Pokémon (Japanese: 伝説のポケモン Legendary Pokémon) are a group of incredibly rare and often very powerful Pokémon, generally featured prominently in the legends and myths of the Pokémon world.

Mythical Pokémon (Japanese: 幻のポケモン Illusory Pokémon) are a related but separate group of Pokémon seen so rarely that some question their very existence.
