Every Pok\u00e9mon fan in the world, whether just the anime or the games and manga in the franchise, has wondered which are the best legendary Pok\u00e9mon among the 72 that exist to date. This question is common since Pok\u00e9mon is, in large part, about fighting and defeating the opposing monster on the other side of the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our list today, we will rank the 10 strongest Pok\u00e9mon ever introduced in the games, since the vast majority of legendary Pok\u00e9mon first appear in this medium and only later appear in the anime. To create this list, we will take into account their combat power in the games, their achievements within the Pok\u00e9mon universe, and also their popularity. So, are you ready to find out which are the best legendary Pok\u00e9mon? Then read the list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raikou, Entei and Suicune<\/h2>\n\n\n

Starting off our list we have the three legendary dogs, created by Ho-oh after a natural accident burned down the Brass Tower 150 years ago. According to legend, each of them represents one of the events linked to the burning of the tower<\/a>. Raikou would be the lightning that set the tower on fire, Entei the flames that consumed the building and Suicune the rain that put out the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they aren't gods like many of the other Pok\u00e9mon on this list, the trio introduced in Generation II have incredible powers that surpass virtually any non-legendary Pok\u00e9mon, and even some legendary ones. They were first introduced in Generation II, but have since appeared in several other games in the franchise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ho-oh<\/h2>\n\n\n

We couldn't have put the creator of the dog trio behind them, especially when our ninth place is known as the "guardian of the skies". Together with Lugia, they are known as the tower duo, also introduced in the second generation of games in the franchise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many legends associated with Ho-oh. One of them involves its body having feathers of seven different colors and, when flying, the fire Pok\u00e9mon creates a rainbow behind it. In the games, its combined stats surpass those of its three creations and rival those of other legendary Pok\u00e9mon and even mythical Pok\u00e9mon. For the inhabitants of Johto, this is definitely the strongest Pok\u00e9mon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

Also known as \u201cthe three legendary birds,\u201d this trio were the first legendaries introduced in the franchise, back in the first generation. Each of them is the guardian of an element: Articuno is the ice one, Zapdos the lightning one, and Moltres the fire one. Their designs are as striking as their names, and we can even say that all Pok\u00e9mon fans know who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of raw power, few Pok\u00e9mon come close to these three. Their connections with the three elements they represent are so powerful that their appearances are often related to the seasons by the people of Kanto. In the anime, the trio appears several times, and in each instance, they are seen as powerful, almost unbeatable Pok\u00e9mon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Groudon and Kyogre  <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Kyogre

In fourth place on our list of the best legendary Pok\u00e9mon, we have the least understood duo in the entire franchise, Groudon and Kyogre. Legends claim that, at the beginning of time, the pressure from the depths of the ocean created Kyogre while the energy from the earth created Groudon on the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the first time they met, the two fought tirelessly for hegemony over the ocean, in the case of Kyogre, and over land, in the case of Groudon. These battles continued until Rayquaza intervened and defeated them both. Introduced in the third generation, the duo is, to this day, considered the most powerful in this universe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regigigas <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Regigigas

Speaking solely of physical strength, it's hard to find a name on our list of the best legendary Pok\u00e9mon that surpasses Regigigas. Creator of the golems of the third and eighth generations, the normal-type Pok\u00e9mon is also known for being the one that united the continents in ancient times, an almost unbelievable feat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its physical strength, we can also highlight the intellectual capabilities of this Pok\u00e9mon, since it alone managed to create 5 golems using different elements of nature. It is also the only Pok\u00e9mon that can use the move Crush Grip, which deals more damage the more health the opponent has. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deoxys <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

Our next entry on the list of the best Legendary Pok\u00e9mon is proof that Pok\u00e9mon don't only exist on planet Earth, as Deoxys is a mutation of a virus that came from space. Because it has a unique biological composition, the alien Pok\u00e9mon also has a unique mechanic where it can assume 4 different forms depending on the type of meteorite it comes into contact with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in the third generation, Deoxys has always been a mysterious Pok\u00e9mon, as it has never been possible to capture it in traditional ways, only through events in most of the games. In one of the only films in which it appears, it fights against our next place on the list of best Legendary Pok\u00e9mon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rayquaza <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Rayquaza

Do you know what the similarities between Groudon, Kyogre and Deoxys are? All three were defeated by Rayquaza, the main protector of the Pok\u00e9mon world. The legendary dragon introduced in the third generation emerged from the gases present in the ozone layer and, its first feat, was to interrupt the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, trapping the two until the events of the games Ruby and Sapphire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to having defeated two of the best legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Rayquaza also made Deoxys its victim in the film Apocalypse: Rayquaza vs Deoxys when the alien Pok\u00e9mon was heading to Earth inside an asteroid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palkia, Dialga and Giratina<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Dialga,

Nicknamed the \u201ccreation trio,\u201d Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are creations of Arceus, who produced them so that they could create space, time, and antimatter, respectively. When we talk about these three, we are not only talking about the best legendary Pok\u00e9mon, but also about gods within this universe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three dragons are not only able to affect reality during their fights with each other, but they also have individual dimensions for each of them. In addition, they have the ability to communicate with humans using telepathy, something that very few Pok\u00e9mon can do.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mewtwo<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Mewtwo

Coming to the end of our list of the best legendary Pok\u00e9mon we have what is probably the most popular Pok\u00e9mon on our list, Mewtwo. Its own story explains the reason for so much power: After the scientist Mr. Fuji found evidence of the Pok\u00e9mon Mew and collected part of its DNA, he used it to try to create what would become the strongest monster of all, Mewtwo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to having incredible intelligence, surpassing that of most humans, the artificial Pok\u00e9mon is also immortal and has the strongest psychic powers in the entire franchise. In the game Pok\u00e9mon Super Mystery Dungeon, it helped our first place winner connect the minds of all the PKs in the world at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arceus <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Arceus

First on our list of the best Legendary Pok\u00e9mon we have the God of this universe, the creator of the Creation Trio, the guardians of the lake and, possibly, the entire reality where the franchise exists. In addition to being immortal like Mewtwo, Arceus can also travel between dimensions, manipulate dreams and create Pok\u00e9mon from nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even among all the mythical Pok\u00e9mon, a term used to refer to those extremely rare entities that are considered myths by most people, Arceus is definitely the strongest Pok\u00e9mon. We can say with certainty that even if all the others on our list joined forces to try to defeat it, it would come out unscathed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
