The 5 Best Legendary Pokemon (& The 5 Worst) | Game Rant

Pokemon and its many lands are filled to the brim with many creatures. However, its many regions, such as the Kanto and Johto regions, are also home to several special Pokemon.

To be the very best, that no one ever was, adding a legendary Pokemon to one’s party could be crucial to success. Of course, these powerful beasts are not easy to come by and are legendary for a reason.

However, while some are flying high as the best around, others are in the pits of despair. Quite frankly, some legendary Pokemon do not deserve such an accolade. So, it is time to take a look at the best mythical Pokemon around, as well as those that hold a title they do not deserve.

10 Best – Lugia

The Guardian of the Seas, Lugia, has always been popular. Perhaps this is because of its psychic prowess, or because many fans loved Pokemon 2000. With good reason, the second Pokemon movie was one of the best and still is.

However, in generation two, Lugia proved to be more useful in combat than his comrade, Ho-Oh. To get Lugia, trainers needed the Silver version, as the Pokemon was exclusive to that game.

It is worth noting that while Lugia may be powerful, Ho-Oh deserves an honorable mention. The legendary bird is the master of the three mythical beasts – Raiku, Entei and Suicine.

9 Worst – Regirock

Here is a similar problem to another entry on this list. To be honest, the Hoenn Legendary Titans are an underwhelming trio in general, a candidate for the worst group of legendary Pokemon.

However, Regirock stands out and not in a good way. In each generation, there are many ground-type Pokemon. Trainers have a range to choose from, and in generation three, there are plenty that can do exactly what Regirock can do.

Not that Regice and Registeel are much better, but at least as ice and steel-types, they are a bit more unique. Their master, Regigigas is by far the most interesting out of the four, shame he couldn’t make his minions more in his image.

8 Best – Rayquaza

In all honesty, Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Ruby fall somewhere in the middle when ranking the games. However, throw Emerald into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a party.

In Emerald, not only can players catch both Groudon and Kyogre, but they can also get their hands on Rayquaza. One of the most powerful Pokemon to have ever taken flight. The third of the weather trio is a hybrid as it combines both the dragon and flying-types.

Naturally, as a dragon, Rayquaza has the potential to use some devastating attacks. Combine that with the ability to fly and this beast will ruin any opponent’s day.

7 Worst – Type: Null

The short version of this entry is Null is dull. A man-made Pokemon, much like its counterpart Sivally, it is of the normal variety.

Dubbed the Beast Killers, one would expect something menacing, or at least extremely powerful. Yet, it would be fair to say that man failed in the creation of Null. There is nothing special about this Pokemon.

In fact, all it succeeds in doing is proving that Mewtwo was an impressive creation that will not happen again. There is nothing wrong with normal-type Pokemon, but they can lack a certain oomph, especially when it comes to one that is of legendary status.

6 Best – Entei

One of the three legendary beasts, Entei is of the fire variety. He has no doubt proven popular over the years thanks to his appearance in Pokemon 3. Though his brethren, Suicine and Raiku have also appeared in movies and the TV show.

Admittedly, Generation two boasts a couple of powerful fire-types, including Typhlosion. However, for a trainer that does not start with Cyndaquil, the legendary beast is a must own. Entei will truly bring the fire to any party.

5 Worst – Tornadus

As one of the three legendary Pokemon that form the Forces of Nature, Tornadus sounds intimidating.

And, to his credit, there is a reason to that, he can perform some powerful flying attacks. However, therein lies the problem. Unlike the other two forces of nature, Tornadus is purely a flying-type. Meanwhile, Thundurus and Landorus are also lightning and ground-type, respectively.

Moreover, as a trio, despite the epic name, the Forces of Nature are somewhat underwhelming. There are certainly more intriguing legendary Pokemon out there.

4 Best – Mewtwo

The clone of the legendary Mew, this is one occasion where the clone certainly surpasses the original.

Mewtwo is a psychic Pokemon, and a very powerful one at that. If a player wished to capture this mankind creation, they first needed to defeat the elite four in the Pokemon Red, Blue and Green games. Then proceed to the Cerulean Cave.

Of course, one cannot discuss Mewtwo without acknowledging its anime appearances. The legendary Pokemon makes its debut in the first movie, followed by a reappearance in Mewtwo Returns.

3 Worst – Tapu Bulu

One of the legendary Pokemon that forms the Guardian Deities. Tapu Bulu hails from the Alola region.

Admittedly, the guardians are somewhat unique given they’re all mixed-types, though all fall under the fairy category. However, Tapu Bulu is combined with grass. The legendary Pokemon can be found on Ula’ula Island in Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Unfortunately, of the legendary group, Tapu Bulu is perhaps the most underwhelming. Grass and fairy is not a combination that needs repeating.

On the whole, the Guardian Deities are somewhat underwhelming. Especially when compared to other legendary groups.

2 Best – Urshifu

One of the more recent legendary Pokemon, Urshifu, and its first stage Kubfu, were first introduced to the world in Pokemon Sword and Shield. As part of the Isle of Armor DLC.

Finally, a rare Pokemon that is of the fighting variety. Furthermore, Urshifu is also hybrid, with its secondary type being dark. Combined, these two types create an incredibly powerful Pokemon. One that can stand its ground against any opponent that gets in its way.

1 Worst – Moltres

One of the three legendary birds from Generation one, Moltres always seemed to be a bit disappointing in comparison to Zapdos and Articuno. The disappointment only continued when generation two hit and Lugia and Ho-Oh were added. The latter of which was also a flying-fire-type.

Perhaps it is because this bird was of the fire variety, and frankly, the original Pokemon games were filled with powerful fire imbued creatures. Not only that, but the fact that Moltres could fly was made redundant to any trainer who happened to own a Charizard.
