Once considered Legendary Pokémon in the west, Mythicals have been granted their own distinct status in recent years. The early generations liked to introduce aꦕ couple of Mythicals, but more recent generations have piled them on with abandon.
Not all Mythicals are created equal. Some are fleshed out characters with neat backstorie✱s, while others seem lazy. Here are a🐽ll of the Mythicals across all eight generations, ranked. Note: Phione's status as a is hotly debated, and it has been excluded from this list.
19 Manaphy
Speaking of Phione, it's evolutionary relative (maybe? It's unclear) Manaphy is one of the most universally-dislik🐈ed Pokémon ever created. It's no secret that people hate this poor Water-type. Together with Phione, the two are referred to as the Sea Guardians.
Manaphy has a unique status as the only Mythical♉ to breed. However, it produces Phione, which doesn't evolve into Manaphy. It's a confusing relationship that frustrates many and doesn't really provide anything new to the series. Both are semi-useless in battle and have very similar designs.
18 Zarude
Zarude is the newest Mythical Pokémon to be intܫroduced, being added to Sword & Shield alongside the DLC expansions. The Dark/Grass-type is a savage-looking monkey with big claws and a mean fac♛e.
Considering one of the main mascots of this generati♈on, the Grookey line, is also a Grass monkey, it seems a bit lazy. Fꦐan reaction to Zarude's announcement has been tepid at best.
17 Meltan and Melmetal ♉ ꦰ
The makers of Pokémon love to create Mythicals that are difficult to obtain or confusing in nature, it seems. Meltan and Melmetal fall into this category. It's unclear if they're a Generation VII Pokémon or from Generation VIII. Additionally, one can only evolve Meltan into Melmetal in Pokémon GO, and they're otherwise unobtainable.
Their design is okay, but it just doesn't ꩲinspi🐲re any love the way other Mythicals can.
16 Zeraora
Zeraora takes an interesting title as the only Electric-type Mythical Pokémon, but it doesn't have much else going for it. It's an o😼kay design, but elemental tiger-dogs have been done countless times before.
Add in the fact that Zeraora's overly-large hands look like a fursuit, and it's hard to appreciate its boring design. At least it has a cool origin story, being born from light🅰ning striking the mouth of a volcano.
15 Magearna
Magearna is somewhat of a forgotten Mythical, released as part of Generation VII at the end of Gen VI without much fanfare💝. It has an interesting design with steampunk vibes, especially the unavailable "Original Color Magearna," which has a swapped color palette.
It's said﷽ in the Pokédex that Magearna is an artificial soul housed in a steel mechanized body.
14 Victini
Frustratingly for people wh😼o like organization and neat, tidy lists, Victini takes spot #000 in the Unova Pokédex, placing it right b♊efore the Grass-starter Snivy. This is the only time the Grass-type starter is not the first in the regional 'dex.
Victini is based on rabbits and the Greek goddess of victory, Nike. It's a cut💜e and pretty▨ fun design.
13 Shaymin
One of the cutest Mythical-Pokémon 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and cutest Grass-types in general, Shaymin is ♛a hedgeho𒆙g-like Mythical introduces in Generation IV.
It has two forms, Land Form (the hedgehog-like one) and its sky Forme, which looks m🅷ore like a small dog or a deer.
12 Diancie
Diancie is a very pretty Mythical introduced in Generat🔯ion VI, being Fairy/Rock-type.
It has a few unique titles to boast: It's the only Rock-type Mythical, it's the only Generation VI or Mythical Pokémon to Mega Evolve, and it wa⛦s once another Pokémon — having been born as a mutated Carbink.
11 Hoopa
With two forms that are both equally terrifying and creepy, Hoopa is a rightfully intimidating Pokémon, based on a mischievous g𓆏enie꧅.
This troublemaker and mischief-loving Pokémon was introduced in Generation VI and featured in the film Hoopa and the Clash of Ages. It's a pretty interesting design.
10 Genesect
Genesect is a great design for a Pokémon, but ꦏthe most interesting thing about it is that it's a revived Kab🐷utops.
The Pokédex entries🌳 for both say they were around 300 million years ago, with Genesect's stating that it was modified by Team Plasma. This, plus their similar designs, have led many to believe they are the same Pokémon.
