All Pokemon types ar♛e not created equal, and that shows in the Legendary 🔥Pokemon.
Some types just have more than others, and there's a big difference between the Legendary-heavy types and the ones that need more love in that department. It can also be interesting to look at how the types affect the 💃Legendary Pokemon they produce, and how they tie into the overall lore of the Pokemon series. This list will look at all 18 types and how many Legendaries they have.
Note: For the purposes of this list, Mythical Pokemon and Ultra Beasts will be considered, as will 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:alternate enhanced formes (Crowned Zacian and Crowned Zamazenta) and regional variants (Galarian birds). However, Arceus and Silvally will only represent the Normal-type.
18 Bug (3)
Mythicals: Genesect
UBs: Buzzwole, Pheromosa
Aside from Mythicals and Ultra Beasts, the Bug-type is still barren of Legendary Pokemon. That doesn't help a type that's considered to be one of the weakest in the franchise. Even though Genesect, Buzzwole, Pheromosa are plenty powerful in their own right, them being the strongest Bug-types ever is pretty rough when compar൲ed to other types.
17 🗹 Poison (3) ꦐ
Legendaries: Eternatus
UBs: Nihilego, Poipole, Naganadel
In a stark contrast, the Poison-type's claim to fame is the strongest Pokemon to ever grace a screen: the absolutely bonkers 1125 base stat total Eternamax Eternatus. You can't actually use it in battle, but the Poison-type will take what it can get in terms of Legendary Pokemon, especially since Nihilego, Poipole, and Naganaꦆdel's status as Legendaries is debatable.
16 ꩲ Ground (3) 🍨
Legendaries: Groudon, Landorus, Zygarde
There are a dismal three Ground-type Legendary Pokemon, which can be a bit surprising depending on who you ask. Regardless, said three are incredible in terms of power a🌞nd lore.
Groudon is the literal god of land, Zygarde ha🔜s a lot of mythos surrounding 𒁃it from both the Sun and Moon games and the anime, and Landorus is a competitive battling staple.
15 Rock (5)
Legendaries: Regirock, Terrakion
Mythicals: Diancie
UBs: Nihilego, Stakataka
Most people consider the Rock-type to be pretty subpar compared to the others, and that's certainly true with the Legendaries it has. There are only two to name, and five if you include Mythicals and Ultra Beasts. They'𒀰r♈e all pretty decent as far as Legendary Pokemon go, but if you're looking for a Legendary-abundant type, look elsewhere.
14 No꧅rmal (5)
Legendaries: Regigigas, Type: Null, Silvally
Mythicals: Arceus, Meloetta
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Normal-type has a bit of a rag-tag group of Legendaries and My🐓thicals, which is interesting to see. No other type can claim it has a pop star, a gigantic mecha with a taco on its head, an artificial Pokemon line, and the liter༒al god of the universe on its roster.
13 Ice (5)
Legendaries: Articuno, Regice, Kyurem, Glastrier, Ice Rider💞 Calyrex
The Ice-type comes in with a solid fivesome of Legendaries. While 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ice Rider Calyrex is merely an alternate forme, Kyurem comes with three formes of its own, two of which are banned and the remaining base forme being a competitive staple. The other three, while not necessarily viable, stand out inꦍ their own way design-wise.
12 Grass (7)
Legendaries: Virizion, Tapu Bulu, Standard Calyrex
Mythicals: Celebi, Shaymin, Zarude
UBs: Kartana
The Grass-type Legendaries can be a bit underwhelming in terms of competitive usage. Celebi has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fallen out of viability, and the newer Zarude and Calyrex (in its standard form) have too many weaknesses to be used regular𒀰ly. The one exception is the lone Grass-type Ultra Beast, Kartana, who puts in work with its massive 181 attack stat.
11 Dark (7)
Legendaries: Galarian Moltres, Yv𝓡eltal, Single Strik▨e Style Urshifu
Mythicals: Darkrai, Hoopa Unbound, Zarude
UBs: Guzzlord
The Dark-type got its time in the spotlight kinda late, with Darkrai being the oldest Pokemon in this entry. In fact, only Darkrai, Yveltal, Guzzlord, and Zarude are full-time Dark-types, with Moltres being a Fire-type in its Kantonian variant, Hoopa having a Ghost-type Confined forme, and Urshifu having a Water-type Rapid Strike Style for🦹me.
10 Water (8)
Legendaries: Kyogre, Palkia, Tapu Fin💝i🐼, Rapid Strike Style Urshifu
Mythicals: Phione, Manaphy, Keldeo, Volcanion
The most populated type in the game has a solid group of Legendary Pokemon to complement its abundance. While that group i🌠s obviously led by the god of the seas in Kyo🅺gre, there are a select few that stand out by being Water-type without necessarily having an obvious connection to the ocean, such as Palkia, Keldeo, and Urshifu.
9 Ghost (8)
Legendaries: Giratina, Lunala, Dawn🔯 Wings Necrozma, Spectrier, Shadow Ride✃r Calyrex
Mythicals: Hoopa Confined, Marshadow
UBs: Blacephalon
It's not surprising to see a type based on the afterlife have a lot of Legendary Pokemon on its roster, and strong ones at that. Six out of these eight Pokemon are banned from regular competitive battling, an💛d while Hoopa hasn't been added to Sword & Shield, Blacephalon has seen quite a bit of use since its introduction.
