Ever since the series' second generation, players have been invited to try and catch incredibly rarePokemonthat match the version of the game they own. These creatures, known as LegendaryPokemon, are given stats and powers that vastly outclass every other critter in the wild. However, all of these powerful Pocket Monsters vary in terms of stats and coverage against opponents. Those aiming to make great teams need to take that into account before deciding which Legendary to put on their teams.
Among the rarest Pokemon in the series, there are different subcategories thatdefine what “Legendary” Pokemon are. To some fans, these categories mean that they aren’t considered “Legendary,” but something else entirely - notably “Mythical” Pokemon being similar but unique entities. For the sake of this list, all the creatures that can only be caught once - even through events - will be counted. They’ll be judged on their stats and what types they’re weak against among all 18 types, as well as how they compare to the other creatures they’re paired with in their respective games.

S Tier
The Pokemon in this tier offer great stats with vital coverage over their weaker stats, along great protection against plenty of types. Even if there are some notable weaknesses with these creatures, they have more advantages than weaknesses, and their stats in general make up for what they lack.
A Tier
The creatures found in this tier either have good stats but several weaknesses, or vice versa. They’re still powerful in their own right, but not as great as the Pokemon found in S Tier. Some of them might not have either benefit, rather an ability of some kind that makes for a good, versatile strategy with the right team.
B Tier
Pokemon ranked in B Tier either have relatively lower stats or are held down by their weaknesses. These creatures might be good for fans who wish to support what they lack with other team members, but otherwise they can’t stack up to the Pocket Monsters in higher tiers.
C Tier
C-Tier Legendary Pokemon may look like they would stand up to the others, but they’re either tied down by their type weaknesses or have questionable stats. These creatures may benefit from being on a team designed around them, but it would take some serious work to get around their flaws.
D Tier
These creatures not only suffer from a fair amount of type disadvantages, but also confusing or low stats that make them a poor choice for player’s teams when stacked against the other Legendaries. While those who adore these Pokemon are free to still use them, they may be bested easily.
