Discover which are the Legendary Pokémon that have managed to make the players of the saga fall in love the most.
The Pokémon franchise has always given great importance to Legendary Pokémonbeing so that, although these were not the great protagonists of the covers in the first generation, it was possible to see how the end of the game took us precisely to the challenge to capture Mewtwo and the legendary birdsthereby giving it a higher status than most species.
If this was not enough, it should be noted that since the second generation the Legendary Pokémon are the protagonists of the coversthereby giving rise not only to the creation of a duality between various species, but also to their being much more visible facing the user, which comes hand in hand in addition to the fact that in the competitive there are some Legendaries that stand out more than others.
Find out which are the most beloved Legendaries in Pokémon
Under this same premise, it is time for you to discover what are the most beloved Legendary Pokémonnoting that the distinction between this group and the Mythical Pokémon should make clear the reason why various Pokémon like Mew, Jirachi and Deoxys will be left out of this list, since, as such, they have a category of its own. However, if you are interested in meeting the most beloved of this group, know that this would be the order:
- Mew 36,266
- Zeraora: 31,691
- DarkRai 30,544
- Jirachi 29,611
- Arcus 24,502
On the other hand, we must point out the method that we will follow in order to establish to the most beloved Legendariesit would be the same one that I used at the time with the initial Pokémon in its initial phase, as well as with these same Pokémon in its final phase, going to the survey of the Most loved Pokémon of the year 2020since this, due to its media impact, was the one that has allowed to have a greater sample of the tastes of the fans.
Regarding the latter, to give you an idea of this, it should be noted that in 2021 Magnemite was among the first places, so it does not show a clear reflection of the tastes of the majority players. Be that as it may, you just have to keep reading to discover what are the most beloved Legendary Pokémon throughout the series:
Zacian
We start this top 5 of most beloved Legendary Pokémon with Zacianthis being the most rookie Pokémon in the franchise because at the time this text is published It hasn’t been three years. Despite this, the 26,158 votes that it has, far above many other species, endorse it, since it is about one of the best Pokémon of the eighth generation.
And it is not for less, since its design together with the fact of having one of the most broken skills in the game They cause it to be a Pokémon that must be taken into account, since the simple fact of entering the battlefield increases its physical attack to deal quite forceful blows. And this is something that is also reflected in the competitive community, since rare was the team that did not carry Zacian in the official championships.
Suicune
Of all the legendaries that make up this list, the only one with the honor of being a lesser legendary more beloved than the main ones is Suicunehaving to mention here that with their 26,227 votes This legendary dog manages to rise as one of the creatures that has made the most impression on the community. And it must be said that here the reasons are pretty obvious.
To begin with, he is the protagonist of the cover of crystal pokemon, which was a title that gave him a lot of importance that was later reflected in the saga with the introduction of Suicune in various media. In fact, even before this was given it could be seen that Suicune fulfilled the role of Ho-oh at the beginning of the anime season in Johto, being the legendary that Ash found as soon as he began his journey. If we add to this its good combat performance and elegant appearance and beware, we have the reasons why it is in this top.
Mewtwo
Being honest, it must be said that the strange thing about Mewtwo It is not that it appears in this top, but that it does not appear in a higher position, since anyone could think that the Pokémon created by Team Rocket would meet at the top. However, his 34,585 votes they make him stay with the third place and entry on the podium, thus giving rise to being one of the great Legendaries and more iconic.
In fact, the latter is taken to the top since any Pokémon fan could think of Mewtwo when thinking of a Legendary Pokémonbeing so that this became in its moment the game final boss, as a good RPG that it is, as well as the ultimate challenge to beat. However, it goes much further, since Mewtwo has a great lorewhich shows us this as a character with enough depth, as seen in his movie and other specials.
And if this wasn’t enough, as happened with Charizard, Game Freak gave him two mega evolutions to be able to unleash its power to the maximum, both from the physical and special side. And when we talk about his strength, it’s about a Pokémon that is competitively almost perfect.
Lugia
At this point, few things can be said about Lugia that have not been said, since it is one of the Favorite Pokémon of the franchise to the point that it is no longer just that it likes it a lot, but there are hardly any Pokémon fans who dislike it, this being something that iconic Pokémon like Charizard cannot boast of.
Be that as it may, the Pokémon that stars on the cover of Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Soulsilver managed to rise in the poll with 53,268 votesgiving it both the third place in Johto and the 15th place in the general poll and being the only legendary Pokémon next to the first place to make it into the top 30.
And it is not for less, since, after all, we are talking about the protagonist of the best pokemon movie according to a large number of fans, the repercussion being so great that in the power of all was brought back. On the other hand, much of its popularity is derived from the already classic meme why it’s not water typethis being one of the biggest debates the franchise has ever featured.
Rayquaza, Legendary Pokémon of Hoenn
We reached the end with what was the clear winner of the Pokémon Day pollsince although the previous positions could more or less enter the top 10 of their respective generations, Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of Hoennwhich automatically made him enter the top 10 of the general ranking and be the only legendary to achieve it.
In this way, with 60,939 votesyou can see that Rayquaza has managed to rise ahead of many other Pokémon, with various reasons that place it in this top. To begin with, he was the protagonist of what many consider to be the third most complete versionsince if Hoenn’s adventure was long, it gained many points later with the introduction of the Battle of Hoenn Frontbeing one of the greatest challenges of the entire saga that has not even been able to be overcome by the fourth generation.
On the other hand, his own rayquaza lore shows us how this has become one of the most important Pokémon in the franchise universe, being the protector of the skiesthis being a role that was seen both in that epic scene where he calms down Groudon and Kyogre and in the movie where he confronts Deoxys.
And if all this wasn’t enough, Rayquaza became the most powerful Pokémon in the game in the sixth generation, since access to a mega evolution with a great ability and without the need for a mega stone made it was banned from Ubers in Smogon, thus having its own category and thus becoming the most broken creature that the game has ever given us. There are plenty of reasons why the favorite Legendary Pokémon of many.
