Here is every single Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon released so for the Pokémon TCG and video games - a full list of every legend in the franchise.

Legendary Pokémon are some of the coolest pocket monsters in the entire Pokémon franchise. They have the most elaborate designs, the mightiest videogame stats, and some of the strongest Pokémon cards. While Mythical and Legendary Pokémon were once few in number, each generation added a bunch of new Legendaries, to the point where it’s now quite hard to keep track of them all! That’s where we come in: this guide has a full list of every Legendary Pokémon.

So how many Pokémon are there, exactly? Well, there are now 66 Legendary Pokémon and 22 Mythical Pokémon. We’ve put together this handy list to show you who’s who among the most powerful Pokémon of all time, splitting them up by generation and providing a few key details about each one.

If you like rare and powerful things you might also be interested in our guides to the most expensive and rare Pokémon cards and the best Pokémon cards. For now though, let’s take a look at the full list of Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon:

Before we get underway, a few fun numbers. The most common type for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon by far is Psychic, with a whopping 22 mindreading ‘mons. Dragon and Steel are close behind, with 14 and 12 Legendaries or Mythicals respectively. Something about these Pokémon types just feels a bit special, we guess. Conversely, the poor Bug and Poison types only appears once on this list, with Genesect and Eternatus.

What’s the difference between a Legendary Pokémon and a Mythical Pokémon? It’s an annoyingly subtle distinction. Basically, Mythicals are considered even rarer than Legendaries, to the point where most people in the Pokémon world doubt their very existence. In gameplay terms, Mythicals traditionally were only available during exclusive events.
