Canonically, Mesprit Uxie and Axel are just a step below Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. They separated from Arceus right after the first three, and together represent Arceus' desire to create the universe, as well as the strength to maintain it.

The lake trio is absolutely underrated here. Being able to erase the memories of someone, drain their emotions, or control their bodies is absolutely terrifying- not to mention that Azelf can also drain the will to move from someone's body. Even when you're talking about each of them individually, powers over certain aspects of the minds is pretty insane. And I know this is probably due to the individuality thing, but the fact that the three of them combined can match one of the creation trio does imply a lot of strength. Not to mention the fact that they have to sleep at the bottom of their respective lakes to keep the world in balance. I feel like they should at least be one tier higher.

The interesting part about Necrozma is that its true form essentially is/was a living star before the people got too greedy for more energy and broke it trying to harness more of it's energy for themselves, triggering the violent rampages across dimensions trying to fill its void and end its suffering. I suppose in a way it's a testament to the power of Solgaleo/Lunala that they provide it enough power to reignite itself if only temporarily.

[@ProfessionalNamielleLewder69]

Yup. Like I keep saying to many, *MANY* people, Necrozma is basically a superorganism that was exploited into becoming a cornered, starving creature. It's not some all-powerful cosmic being, it's still an animal at the end of the day.

[@domigamerblocktrieon9778]

Necrozma definitely isn't near the level of Arceus or even the creation trio. However, you still have to recognize the fact that in lore, Ultra Necrozma is responsible for essentially giving light to the entire multiverse, which would still put him pretty high up in the tier. Solgaleo and Lunala would be pretty high up as well for providing Necrozma with the light necessary to regain it's true form, Ultra Necrozma. .

[@RushWilliams]

yeah Necrozma is by far more powerful then Arceus easily, where Arcreus created one universe Necrozma destroyed multiple universes easily. Praise Necrozma.

[@domigamerblocktrieon9778]

Necrozma didn't destroy any universes. He simply stole the light from them. Also, both games and anime establish that Arceus created the multiverse, not just one universe.

[@RushWilliams]

He destroyed them by draining them of light and leaving them lifeless and dead, whereas Arceus has only been known to have created the Pokémon world not other realities and universes. I can maybe see them on par with one another, but Necrozma is definitely not weaker considering it’s a sentient star killer.

Also in the movie when they have him fight hoopa he just tanks hoopas attacks and he has to teleport him away while reshiram and zekrom are clearly getting hurt. Hes deffinitely in the top echelon. The only problem i could see with this is if you dont accept the adventures manga as cannon but its been around since the beginning just like the anime and has had a continuouss plot following every single game.

I’m pretty sure the only things in continuity with the games are the games themselves. The anime is its own continuity, and so is Adventures, and so are the numerous other manga adaptations.

I have a theory: the Red Chain is actually effective against Dialga and Palkia, but ONLY in their origin forms. In DPPt, they are Altered, and in Legends Arceus it is used against the Altered form legendary before the Origin form appears. The Red Chain and Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf appear to be connected to Arceus, which further makes sense that it would work on the Origin forms that are more similar to Arceus/the forms Arceus originally made them in. But as they grew and changed to their Altered form, they lost that connection, hence the Red Chain losing its power

Just for some examples, it’s immune to the Shadow Crystal in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, which is known to be able to mind control all Pokémon within a 500 mile radius, it was the catalyst behind all of the chaos in Mystery Dungeon: Explorers, and it can literally mind wipe other Pokémon and enslave entire populations as seen in PokéPark 2.

Personally, I like Suicune the most since realistically, it seems like a nice place to be in terms of legendary status. It's still quite powerful and is generally friendly/useful to humans and other pokemon, since it can purify all water pollution. Suicune also doesn't have the pressure of being in charge of an entire planet or aspect like Time, Space, Light, Dark, etc. It can afford to relax and just travel the world and hang out with you while still being very impressive to normal beings. All the pokemon in higher categories seem like they'd never have time for friends or mortals, with perhaps Mewtwo being an exception since he was created _by_ humans, thus has no preordained obligations or ancient ties to the world like the other legendaries.

Ultra beasts are weird because technically they'd just be normal pokemon from a completely different environment, but them arriving from separate worlds probably makes them unique enough to class it.

[@ChrisVillagomez]

Crazy theory but Lugia is said to cause 40-day hurricanes. Maybe the reason Ho-oh is viewed with such awe and affection and as a rival to Lugia by humanity is because the first time Ho-oh was ever seen by humans was when it stopped one of Lugia's floods to save humanity. Not only that but Ho-oh bestowed luck on anyone that saw it, shone with a beautiful light, and also saved many people and Pokemon from death, the most iconic being the resurrection and empowerment of three canines (dogs or foxes honestly) after they had burned in a fire. Ho-oh stopped the Biblical/Sumerian/Greco-Roman/other world-ending Flood stories from mythology, but with Pokemon instead of Yahweh, and Ho-oh resurrected the Legendary Canines in a kinda similar way to how Yahweh empowered Enoch in the non-canonical Book of Enoch 😳

Funny how a couple of stage 1 Pokemon canonically claps all these chumps

My Favorite Legendary Pokémon is eternatus which is a Poison/Dragon Type Legendary Pokémon & eternatus is The Third Legendary Dragon of Gen 8. This Legendary Pokémon Have Amazing Powers & An Awesome Design, it’s a freaking SKELETON DRAGON Turning into A Thousand Headed Dragon with Thousand Hands Like Heads and CAPABLE OF Warping Time & Space. Just Hoping For The Gen 9 Third Legendary Pokémon To Be a Dragon Type Legendary Pokémon.

I think Ho Oh should be in God tier since it’s essentially a shinto god who has powers over life and death. Even its signature move is named “Sacred Fire”. It is all holy and divine like a healing angel with its feathers.

[@JJLiew]

What an enjoyable video, hope you make another one about the mythicals!

[@nonchalantblack]

in the pmd series, xerneas and yveltal proved to be extremely powerful

[@mipho5899]

The forces of nature should be way higher. It's literally in their name "Force and Nature" and are the reason why the eco system works as planned. They also create massively powerful storms and can change the environment to almost the level Groudon or Kyogre can.

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

To put this in perspective Gardevoir is canonically probally more powerful than the weakest legendaries

Another thing people forget about is that Gardevoir canonically can also See the future so uhh yeah as you can probally imagine this makes gardevoir one of if not The canonically strongest non-legendary/mythical Pokémon (even ditto needs time to transform which gardevoir can see and counter)

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

Oh and there’s 1 entry stating that gardevoir can use its psychic powers to nullify gravity…

[@MagusAgrippa8]

I like these kinds of videos. Legendaries, to me, need to feel more like *gods* and not like regular random Pokémon.

[@Eki718]

Thank PTCI for making "legendary" category just market thing. Since 1996, no one higher up stated what makes pokemon legendary

[@MagusAgrippa8]

@@Eki718 Fair enough. Least we have fan interpretations and the Manga to make legendaries actually special.

[@teobaldolendario8880]

Legendary is one of my favorite things about Pokemon so I agree with this. Quite sad how Game Freak/TPC really doesnt care about making them feel special. The anime have tried for some time but now the mystique is totally gone in the current season. In my headcanon some Legendaries are actually gods from a pantheon and they know each other lol

[@beetleR6]

Some of these pokemon are specifically made to counter specific more powerful pokemon Like Cresselia being the only one that can reverse Darkrai's never ending nightmares or Zacian and Zamazenta having magically amped up weapons designed to counter the power of Eternatus. I think that sort of balancing in the canon is really cool

[@primella8135]

I disagree with the lake trios ranking there kinda underrated in terms of strength not only do they have the power to stop one of the creation trios azelf powers can stop anyone from attacking him due to making them unwilling to fight him uxie can make a Pokémon stupid so that would weakened than than mesperit can take away any anger from any Pokémon to have them stop attacking him also I feel like mewtwo is listed way to high lunala can travel several light years in a couple of seconds so it should be stronger than mewtwo and being man made I don’t see it being above Pokémon like lugia or hoho

[@DeathLeprecon]

I feel the opposite. Any legendry pathetic enough to be taken hostage by Galactic grunts is trash and should be thrown down into the lower tiers.

[@starlight0313]

@@DeathLeprecon you sure about that? The gods of time, space and antimatter can be captured by a 10 year old

@@starlight0313 Those "10 year olds" are supposed to be special trainers who are capable of becoming champion. Galactic grunts are so pitiful they think stealing honey from trees will help them recreate the universe. That's like saying Mike Tyson can definitely beat Mohammed Ali because you were able to beat up an infant. As far as I'm concerned, the Lake Trio were better off rotting away in the distortion world so other idiots can't get ahold of the red chain. Because they sure as hell aren't able to protect themselves.

@@DeathLeprecon probably caught them off guard since they were sleeping logically uxie should’ve known that team galactic was after them it was more pis than anything like how arceus doesn’t destroy earth when he was fighting the creation trio in the movie or the fact that the creation trio almost never use there abilities like we almost never see dialga use his control over time or palkia over space you can also argue the lake trio are able to create the red chain which are said to have the power of arceus in it and greatly weakened dialga and palkia in legend arceus to the point that there possible to catch and weakened Pokemon doesn’t do well with power scaling same with the fact that groudon and kygore never use there power of land and sea to fight each other Pokémon never do well with power scaling but lore wise the lake trio should be very op also in azelf Pokédex it was stated to keep the world in balance and can turn people into puppets

I would love to see a new form of Arceus, like a humanoid version of him that looks cooler (Like Ceruledge) . I can imagine him having many different forms due to his Lore and the fact he only gave you a fraction of his power.

Good video. My only contention is with Solgaleo and Lunala. The amount of energy that it takes to change night into day, presumably altering the planet’s position is a planetary feat.

@@Lanosplaylist are you even playing pokemon💀, in pokemon US/UM laboratory there's a book that literally stated that palkia "Its total control over the boundaries of space enable it to transport itself to faraway places or even other dimensions.". And not only transport, palkia can even connect dimensions. And the creation trio is live in different and higher dimensions lorewise in the first place, so they can travel through dimensions. I mean they are the creator of all dimensions how the heck they cant go to something that they created.
