I always thought gen 5 had so many that could have been clased in the category. Haxorus and Volcarona that certainly looked the part. Volcarona being mistaken as a legendary by many when they first played Black and White and they came across it at level 70 in a static encounter.

I like how Pokémon sizes in the anime are inconsistent, because if Pokémon existed IRL, I don’t think every Pokémon in a species would be the same size. It also shows this in Legends Arceus, so I think it makes since for Pokémon sizes to vary.

[@belphy205]

I wish the creation trio were a bit bigger though, my Alpha Garchomp is only slightly smaller then them. It's almost comical.

[@Lahiss]

@@belphy205 The creation trio IS bigger though. Despite being really good with scales, PLA dropped the ball when it came to creation trio. Alpha Garchomp is 2.945 m tall. Palkia is 4.2 m in regular and 6.3 m in Origin, Dialga is 5.4 m in regular and 7.0 m in Origin and Giratina is 4.5 m in Altered and 6.9 m in Origin (though being serpentine in that form, that measurement might be from head to tail instead of standing). So all of them should be significantly bigger than Alpha Garchomp, but in the game, they just aren't.

The Pokemon anime has shown at times that Pokemon species have different sizes.

In my opinion I think it should be a requirement that the pokemon is rare to find, you don't find a dratini in any route, you don't find a gible in any route, you don't find a dreepy in any route, they are pokemon that appear in only a few specific routes and with very low probabilities of appearance, a pokemon that appears in almost all the routes of the game could not be a pseudo-legendary, although it is only my opinion

[@gymleaderhasan]

I don’t agree because that change is as easy as raising their stats. You just have to make them available in fewer areas.

I think their spawn rates are just a little higher.

I think that Mammoswine fits the Pseudo Legendary role pretty well and (if it wasn't the route one bird) I could see Corviknight being there too. Togekiss I agree with though. Also Luxray and Electivire I don't think fit.

[@dakodayoung9892]

The fact that you have gengar but not alakazam really upsets me

[@Dusxio]

Goodra might not LOOK hard to train, but the dex entries do cover that. Sligoo do have a tendency to almost dissolve anything because of their blindness and confusing friends with food, plus goodra is deceptively physically strong.

[@neodavinci9770]

I think Dusknoir would be a good contender. Another cool ghost type, definitely menacing looking.

completely agree! i think its a bit too humanoid also is it big enough? alpha doesn't count so im pretty sure its shorter than the player in legends arceus normally

Well goodra does evolve by level up but just a little correction is that it also need it to rain to evolve. But still great video :)

I hope we get a pseudo legendary Pokemon in Scarlet/Violet that isn't Dragon-type at all like Tyranitar and Metagross. I always felt Electric/Dark would be a great typing for a pseudo legendary. Maybe something based on a devil or oni or ogre. Update: Clearly there's a bunch of chucklefucks who fail to realize this comment was made months ago before Scarlet/Violet came out. 🤣

[@Enjinercraft]

If it was one of those it would prob be fire dark

[@abimaelreyes7134]

It would have to be a latin mythicial beast design. Orges are european but not from Spain or Portugual. Oni being japanese ruins the theme plus with scarlet and violet focusing on prehistoric and technological we could either get a prehistoric pokemon pseudo or anothr metagross

[@DeadmanInc336]

@@abimaelreyes7134 but I don't think there's an actual theme or idea related to the locations with the pseudo-legendary Pokemon, right? What's the theme correlation between the Kyushu Islands (Gen 3) and Salamence or Metagross, for example? Or the United States (Gen 5) with Hydreigon? Kommo-o and Hawaii (Alola) I sorta understand since it basically does a rendition of the Samoan haka.

Gen 4 had a lot of submissions in this video but Dusknoir would have been pretty awesome too! It’s 7’3” and definitely menacing enough, I think it’s a cool candidate just needs some adjustments on stats, growth rate, and evolution method

[@Deerfoxer]

Honestly aggron would have made for sense for gen 3, it looks like a beast, its pretty dragon like, the stats are pretty good and it is tall so yea I think it would have been a better option than slaking

Aggron could be a Godzilla enemy

[@Double_Jae]

Honestly I’ve always thought Haxorus was a pseudo, and the fact that it’s not is deeply upsetting lol

[@El_Chucho_Bravo]

I think Luxray wouldn’t be that good of a pseudo legendary since Shinx is so common in game. Think about how rare Gibble, Larvitar, and Axew are.

[@SCOUTdog30]

Luxray doesnt fit the part for me either

[@JaelinBezel]

[@CEDelJEFE]

The 3 stage evolutionary line is a dumb requirement, there are lots of pokemon that could be pseudo legendary without it just by tweaking the stats: Arcanine, Lapras, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, Steelix, Milotic, Tropius, Absol... And that's just up to gen 3

[@crimsonlm9912]

[@slickrickjr8616]

Dude was one of the top fastest in Hoenn games he definitely deserves to be a pseudo

[@cannibalman8175]

I think the crobat being a pseudo would feel weird, it looks pretty small when you fight with or against it and doesn't exactly have the best stats for a pseudo.

[@Merry_Haddock]

It meets all the requirements. Could be based on vampire, not anthropomorphic, big.

[@daponagegoogenburg807]

I always felt like Gardivoir would work well as a psychic Pseudo, and it would be cool to have the branched evolution where each are pseudos as well, really mix up how bland the Dragon+? All of the games have made the pseudos for forever.
