Whenever people talk about rare Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>, the Legendary types always come up. Mewtwo? Lugia? Powerful Pok\u00e9mon line everyone’s memory. But, what about the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> that aren’t quite as powerful in stats but are just as rare (if not rarer)? With the introduction of the term, Pok\u00e9mon like Mew and Arceus got classified under this moniker and they deserve love and respect too!<\/p>\n

In the lore, Mythical Pok\u00e9mon tend to really stand out due to their rarity and mystical powers. Sometimes, they’re just the creator of the entire universe. You know, no big deal. Let’s take a look at the very best Mythical Pok\u00e9mon that have come along up till Generation 8!<\/p>\n

Updated January 10th, 2021 by Tanner Kinney: <\/strong>Mythical Pokemon are quite interesting both in the lore and in regular gameplay. They often aren’t that much stronger than a fully-evolved Pokemon despite their rarity, meaning they get used in nearly every tier of play. While it can feel like cheating to run over a game with a legendary Pokemon, using a Mythical Pokemon just feels slightly more fair for whatever reason. As each generation introduces new mythicals, and as we wait to see what awaits in Gen 8, we decided to add on a few more.<\/em><\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Zarude<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Zarude is the first mythical Pokemon added in Pokemon Sword and Shield<\/em>. As the feature monster of the movie Secrets of the Jungle<\/em>, there’s a lot for Zarude to live up to. In its stats, it isn’t quite as balanced statwise as other mythicals. It actually has strengths and weaknesses, which is a surprise. Plus, its design is pretty cool as a mysterious, dangerous beast.<\/p>\n

Zarude is capable of summoning vines from its body, using them for various purposes. It’s a smart Pokemon, using every tool it has to succeed in battle. This is reflected in game through its solid offensive presence, although its typing leaves a bit to be desired. Its ability is also pretty much useless, which will likely be the one thing holding it back from higher tiers of play.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Genesect<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of many Mythical ‘mons added in Pokemon Black and White<\/em>, Genesect is typically locked to Uber tier due to its stats. It has typing that’s both a blessing and a curse, and an ability that is situationally very good. On top of that, it has a number of different aesthetic forms that don’t actually do much to alter its battle power, just its appearance.<\/p>\n

Genesect is actually an ancient fossil Pokemon<\/a>, having been revived and modernized with a cybernetic cannon. Its design is probably one of the coolest parts about it; there’s just something awesome about seeing giant robot bugs. Even if it has trouble competing in the Uber tier it’s locked in, it is a cool Mythical Pokemon.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Shaymin<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Shaymin is a hilarious little Pokemon. It’s is an appropriately hedgehog-sized<\/a> grass-type with a pretty standard statline for a mythical. Shaymin has the power to cure the land of toxins, transforming the land into a garden of flowers. It also has an alternate form that looks more like a deer, which is a bit odd but more effective in battle.<\/p>\n

Classic Shaymin, however, is funny because of how it typically gets used in competitive battles. Its movepool is actually ideal to perform an offense-oriented moveset, inflicting tons of damage with some of the strongest moves in the game. It even has self-recovery with Synthesis, and its ability is pretty nice to have as well. You’d think you wouldn’t have to fear a tiny hedgehog, but Shaymin will bring a reckoning.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Keldeo<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Keldeo is the secret fourth member of the Swords of Justice, which were styled after The Three Musketeers. It aims to learn from its betters and learn the secret of their power: the move Secret Sword. Although not a mythical-level move, the move was key to getting Keldeo to change into its Resolute form, which is just a cosmetic change to little ol’ Keldeo.<\/p>\n

In battle, Keldeo wears a lot of different hats with its movepool. It can focus on a special attacker moveset, using powerful techniques in conjunction with Choice Specs. Alternatively, it can play the role of a bulky water-type, bringing Taunt to counter certain Pokemon and Calm Mind to boost its own power. It’s an adorable little Pokemon, and can even be found without the use of a major event.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Magearna<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Magearna is a bit odd-looking, but is seriously powerful. It’s the result of ancient technology, being crafted by an ancient civilization and brought to life using a Soul-Heart. This Soul-Heart is the source of Magearna’s power, allowing it to bring either peace or ruin.<\/p>\n

The Soul-Heart is also the source of Magearna’s power in competitive battles. The ability functions similarly to a Beast Boost, and in conjunction with Shift Gear allows it to buff itself and steamroll an opponent. It may look friendly, but Magearna is not here to make friends. A proper trainer can indeed rain destruction upon the realm with Magearna.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Jirachi<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Look, Jirachi is just cute, okay? It allegedly grants wishes that are written on the notes attached to its head. You write and attach the notes while Jirachi\u00a0sleeps and when it wakes, your wish is granted. Another interesting note is that it has automatic self-defense and will fight when it is asleep.<\/p>\n

Then again, it supposedly sleeps for a thousand years. Jirachi is likely based on the Arabic myths of Jinn (you know, genies), mixed with the idea of “wishing upon a star.” Now, all we need is a Jiminy Kricketot to sing about it.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Deoxys<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Deoxys gets to actually have some origins in real science. The name is a direct reference to deoxyribonucleic acid\u00a0(DNA). The shape of the Pok\u00e9mon directly references a double helix. If that isn’t enough,\u00a0three of the\u00a0formes it can take are named Defense, Normal, and Attack (DNA).<\/p>\n

The post-game chapter of Pok\u00e9mon Omega Ruby<\/em> and Alpha Sapphire<\/em>, Delta Chapter, allows the player to meet and catch Rayquaza, taking it into space to fight and capture a Deoxys that is threatening Earth. Yea, you get a Legendary and a Mythical during the main event!<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Manaphy\/Phione<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This Pok\u00e9mon duo gets a special place on the list for their unique breeding capabilities. So, Manaphy is definitely a mythical Pok\u00e9mon. It is also definitely the only one that can breed. Oh, and the Pok\u00e9mon that comes out of its eggs is not the same Pok\u00e9mon at all.<\/p>\n

That’s where Phione comes in. Phione is disputed in multiple official sources and among the fans on whether it is, in fact, a Mythical Pok\u00e9mon, but we’re counting it for the purpose of discussion in this topic. Neither are very strong when compared to others in Gen 4<\/a>, but that hardly matters when it’s so gosh dang cute.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Darkrai<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Alright, you need a creepy Pok\u00e9mon for the list? Let’s talk about the serial killer Pok\u00e9mon called Freddy Krueger. No, wait, it’s just his Pok\u00e9mon counterpart, Darkrai. It’s believed that the ghost girl in the Gen 5 games was killed due to being stuck in endless nightmares from a Darkrai. You can see the horror in action during the Gen 4 games, in fact. Luckily a Cresselia feather (known as the Lunar Wing) can solve the endless torment.<\/p>\n

But, how, you ask, does tormenting people in nightmares make someone a serial killer? Well, imagine never being able to eat, drink, or use the restroom. Not being able to\u00a0wake up at all, stuck in hell. Do you think a normal person would survive that?<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Meltan \/ Melmetal<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Meltan first appeared in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em>, during a short surprise event to introduce them after one of the monthly Community Days. If you tried to catch it during the event, they’d turn into Dittos. After that, Professor Willow and Professor Oak had a few story-based videos to introduce the new Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

By opening a special event box that was directly tied to Pok\u00e9mon Let’s Go Pikachu<\/em> and Eevee<\/em>, you could catch Meltan. By, getting 400 candies, it became the only Mythical out there that could evolve! Melmetal, the final form, is a hulking mass of what appears to be several Meltan as one.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Arceus<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Somehow the literal God of all Pok\u00e9mon isn’t “legendary status” and is\u00a0merely considered “Mythical.” This Pok\u00e9mon created the creation trio, the lake guardians, the Sinnoh region, and possibly the entire universe. This is basically Pok\u00e9mon’s own creation myth.<\/p>\n

RELATED: 10 Underrated Electric Pokemon (That Are Actually Very Strong)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Known as “The Original One” in the lore of the games and anime, the Normal typing can be altered with special plates or Z-Crystals to be any type. Speaking of the creation trio, they a relegated to “legendary” status and control time, space, and antimatter. When they were unruly, the lake guardians were created by Arceus to calm them. It’s all about balance in the universe.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Victini<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

So, Pok\u00e9mon battles are all about winning. What if you could get a Pok\u00e9mon that ensured victory at all times? Victini may not look like much more than a cute little rabbit-like entity, but don’t let its looks fool you! In addition to being the champion of victory, supposedly, the energy held within this tiny thing is unlimited and touching it will give you an energy boost yourself.<\/p>\n

Victini also serves as a special slot in the Pok\u00e9dex, being listed before the starters of its own generation. Un the Unova Dex, Victini gets to be considered #000, as an extra strange fact.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Hoopa<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While Jirachi is based on the Jinn, Hoopa and his alternate form take on a look that really looks like a genie. Hoopa presents an interesting talent with its rings, being able to teleport people and things from anywhere.<\/p>\n

In the Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and Y<\/em> games, Hoopa also seems to be the reason for all of the appearances of Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, such as Mewtwo. By entering portals that are suspiciously similar to Hoopa’s rings, you’re transported to different places that may be in different regions to face these rare Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Celebi<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Aside from Celebi coming from Generation 2<\/a> (you know, the best generation), the little onion fairy is adorable to boot. While it may not be powerful, the time-traveling abilities are really neat to add to the lore.<\/p>\n

In the anime, the fourth Pok\u00e9mon movie was entirely focused on these abilities. By the time the Gen 2 remakes, Pok\u00e9mon HeartGold<\/em> and SoulSilver<\/em> came out, a special event was introduced that allowed players to defeat Giovanni in his secret hideout. Celebi, you’re a cute green onion and we just want to eat you up (not literally, but it could be a great side to a Farfetch’d dish).<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Mew<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Obviously Mew is the top here. Mew may be the “origin” of all Pok\u00e9mon in the lore, but not including this cute pink ball of kitten would be a travesty to all Pok\u00e9mon fans. Mew was the very first Mythical Pok\u00e9mon and it rightfully took its place in the story as one of the cutest and most promising Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon was shrouded in mystery back during the days of Pok\u00e9mon Red<\/em> and Blue<\/em>, only being officially available as an event that you had to actually attend. Plus, the whole “Mew was cloned to make the world’s strongest Pok\u00e9mon, Mewtwo<\/a>” is pretty awesome too.<\/p>\n
