Legendaries are typically more magical than most standard species in the Pokemon series. Their attacks and stats aim to match this, with the most magical stat beiಞng the Special Attack stat. This determines its ranged and mystical powers in battle, allowing them to use abilities that outclass nearly every other Pokemon in existence.
The average stats of Legendary Pokemon have grown massively in recent games, with both new species and new form♛s of older Pokemon hitting incredible heights. Across the entire series, there are ten in particular that can use special attacks greater than any other Pokemon in history.
10 Blacephalon (151) 🧸
The Ultra Beasts are a strange form of Legendary Pokemon. While they aren’t one-of-a-kind like your typical legendary, they have similarly remarkable stats and unusual typings. This, alongside a Beast Boost ability that can potentially increase offensive s🌳tats on knockouts, can make them deadly in battle.
These traits are all undoubtedly seen in Blacephalon, a Ghost and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-type from Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon with an incredible base Special Attack stat of 151. Other Ultra Beasts have offensive power that can beat this, but Blacephalon also 🧸has an incredibly impressive Speed stat that makes plenty good use of its noteworthy offense.
9 Dawn Wings Necrozma (153)ꦆ 🐼
Many of the members of this list are alternate forms, and one of the most common types in recent generations include fusing two Pokem🅘on into one. It makes sense for two Pokemon to have their powers added together, but the extent of their power can still be quite astonishing.
Necrozma is a prime example of this, being given the power to fuse with either Solgaleo or Lu🎉nala in Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. This will result in a ♑powerful Special Attack stat of 153, while also granting it incredible defensive stats and a rare type combination of Psychic and Ghost-type.
8 ꦑ Shadow Rider Calyrex (165)
Another powerful fusion of two Pokemon is exceptionally new, first arriving in the recent Crown Tundra expansion of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Sword & Shield. This has to do with Calyrex, who can use the Reins of Unity to fuse with either Glastrier or Spectrier depending on where you plant the carrot seeds you receive during the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Crown Tundra’s main story.
This gives Calyrex some much-needed offensive power, gaining ꦫa strong physical Attack with Glastrier and an equally powerful Special Attack with Sp🐷ectrier. This stat sits at a strong base of 165 points, meaning it’s significantly higher than Calyrex’s natural stat of 80 and a pleasant boost for Spectrier’s original 145 base Special Attack.
7 🐎 Ultra Necrozma (167)
Necrozma has one other form with slightly more power, but unlike nearly any other Pokemon in existence, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it’s actually unobtainable. This would be Ultra Necrozma, a special fo𝓡rm encountered in the Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra M🍬oon story as a final boss inside an Ultra Wormhole.
This form is just ahead of Shadow Rider Calyrex with a 💖base Special Attack stat of 167, making up for its poorer defensive stꩵats compared to its Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane modes. This makes for an intimidating boss in the game it appears, but it’s surprisingly weaker than other special legendaries.
6 🐼 White Kyurem (170)
The last fusion on this list is much stronger than Necrozma and Calyrex, and is a much older rendition of 🉐this alternate form. Pokemon Black 2 & White 2 started the trend with Kyurem, an Ice and Dragon-type Pokemon with the ability to combine with the Fire-type Reshiram and Electric-type Zekrom.
This all leads to a Special Attack s🦄tat of 1𓆏70, but this Pokemon is debatably stronger than other Special Attack legendaries due to its great movepool. High-power moves like Draco Meteor and Fusion Flare utilize this stat better than nearly any other Pokemon, and will likely annihilate any opponent put against it.
5 ꦯ Unbound Hoopa (170)
Unbound Hoopa is one of the rarest legendary Pokemon forms in the series, being a fairly recent addition to the game that’s only available through a short number of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:exclusive events. Its standard form sits just below Blacephalon’s Special Attack stat, but its larger Unbound Form hits a 💟spectacular 170 points.
Its original also has one of the highest Attack stats of any legendary in the series with 160 ✤points, meaning its other forms could still compete with White Kyurem and Ultra Necrozma. Unlike them, though, Hoopa lacks many effective physical moves besides🐭 its signature attack Hyperspace Fury.
4 ꦗ Xurkitree (173)
Blacephalon’s high Speed and powerful type combination make it much more competitive than 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:many Ultra Beasts, but one of♎ them boasts an even more alarming Special Attac🌳k stat. Xurkitree, a pure Electric-type Pokemon, has a whopping 173 base points in this stat.
This not only means Xurkitree outclasses man🌊y other legendaries, but it also is the only Pokemon besides Blacephalon that’s been legal in most official battle formats. Th꧃is means Xurkitree has the highest Special Attack you can ever encounter in online play.
3 Deoxys & Mega Rayquaza (180) ⛄
Third place is a flavorful tie. While these Pokemon could potentially be compared in their overall strength and movesets, t🦋hey’re fittingly equal in power given their in-game conflict. Deoxys and Mega Raquaza both wield an astounding 180 base points in their Special Attack stat, which can be used to annihilate all sorts of opponents.
Since you encounter both of these in the post-game story of Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sap🌠phire, it’s extremely satisfying that they’re now perfectly equal in power. These two Pokemon end up fighting in these remakes just like the seventh Pokemon Movie, and since the original Rayquaza’s Special Attack sits much lower, it’s good to see these remakes get this matchup right.
2 Primꦰal꧅ Kyogre (180)
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unusual Mega Evolution, Primal Kyogre, is technically tied with Deoxys and Mega Rayquaza in its Special Attack. Much like them, 𒉰it sits at 180 base points, but Primal Kyogre deserves its own place ahead of them because it’s easily able to deal more damage than the other legendaries that share its home.
This is because of its ability,🔴 Primal Sea, which creates an intense flood on the battlefield. This boosts its powerful Water-type moves like Origin Pulse and Water Spout that exceed the power of moves learned by Mega Rayquaza and Deoxys, giving it a slight edge in power over its Hoenn siblings.
1 𒁏 Mega Mewtwo Y (194) 🦩
Mega Evolutions haven’t returned in Pokemon Sword & Shield, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:their unmatched power makes it a relief more than a disappoint▨ment. Many Mega Evolutions in the series have greater Special Attack stats than most other Legendaries, but one Legendary has its own Mega Evolution that reaches the highest Special Attack stat in the entire series.
Mewtwo’s Mega Evolution from Pokemon Y hits a remarkable Special Attack stat of 194, stepping much higher than Primal Kyogre. The only non-legendary that comes clos🍬e to this is Mega Alakazam with a stat of 175, putting this elusive form of Mewtwo way ahead of any possible opponent.
