Top 10 Pokémon You Mistake for Legendary Pokémon

[@queenalli9382]

I thought that Zorark was legendary because the first time I ever saw it was in a Pokémon card that was 4x the size of a normal Pokémon card. Why would a regular Pokémon get that treatment, I thought, surely it must be legendary?

[@chantillykid2654]

I remember that card. It literally had 1000 HP 😂 or it was an 1000 damage attack, I don't remember it's been a long time

[@TokoFukawasWife]

Wait… Zorua and zorark…aren’t…legendary…? They have their own movie…why would a non-legendary get that?

[@jacers14]

One pokemon I thought was legendary is Castform. Especially when 3gen game first release since it is a heavy weather based storyline and it was given to you by a professor.

Also, in a Gen 4 encyclopedia based on the anime, Legendaries and Mythical's have stars behind them. Lucario and Rotom, despite not being Legendaries or Mythicals, also have these stars

[@Chtsht23]

When Lucario’s design was released back in the day, we all assumed it was legendary because it was the few early leaked Pokémon.

Rotom is the one that got me. I really thought it was legendary, but I cannot for the life of me remember why. May have been the music thing. I also grew up not knowing the distinction between mythical and legendary, and I've come to realize that while it exists, it is a pointless distinction.

Im playing Pokémon for 6 years now. And I just realized rotom wasnt a legendary 3 days ago when it appeared in Shield on an Island in the wild

[@zachhill7973]

My guesses before watching- Would bet they are on the list: Arcanine- classified as the legendary pokemon. That one episode in the anime where it is shown with the 3 legendary birds. Unown- mysterious, around legendaries, pokemon movie 3 Lucario- all the treatment Zoroark- all the treatment Volcarona- seemed legendary to me Rotom- also seemed legendary Spiritomb- its backstory, way to get it, inclusion in game, no weakness typing at introduction Maybe on the list: absol- has a good legendaryish backstory lapras and milotic- seemed majestic and rare ( one is a gift in its debut game, other is probably the most frustrating to find and evolve in its debut game) Probably not but last guesses anyways: metagross- why have 2 psuedo-legendary. Ditto- failed mew. And legendaries have been created before so why not

[@zachhill7973]

Well besides #4 I got the list. I think I would drop #4, put lapras at #10, and push the rest up. Cool video

With all Honesty Torkoal could be broken if it evolved into a ground and fire type with the ability water absorb Would be so different 😂

[@Blackjax137]

Zoroark and Lucario were initially intended to be mythical Pokémon. You could only obtain Lucario though special events in Gen 4 and Zoroark through special events in Gen 5. It was only until Gen 5 and Gen 6 were you able to encounter Riolu and Zorua in the wild respectively without trading with someone that had bred them. This also wasn't the first time GameFreak did this, which further added confusion. Manaphy could be bred to produce Phione, although the difference is that Phione could never evolve into a Manaphy. The decision to make both Zoroark and Lucario mainline Pokémon rather than event exclusive was likely due to their popular design and the demand that came with it. Further impacted by the movies and Zoroark being N's signature Pokémon in B/W (a mistake not repeated in Sun/Moon with Type Null). If letting kids have pretty pixel designs sells more merch then let 'em have it. Generally.
