Legendary Pokémon (71)
Legendary Pokémon are rare and powerful Pokémon, often at the heart of their region's story, that you usually encounter only once per game. The National Pokédex lists 71 of them: 4 in Generation 1, 5 in Generation 2, 8 in Generation 3, 9 in Generation 4, 9 in Generation 5, 3 in Generation 6, 11 in Generation 7, 11 in Generation 8, 11 in Generation 9.
They differ from Mythical Pokémon, which are even rarer and are mostly obtained through distributions and events.
