Whenever a new Pokémon game is released, the same questions arise: which one is the strongest pokemon of all generations? It doesn’t seem like an easy answer with so many different creatures. However, the legendary pokemon they are the most powerful and the rest of this list could be discarded. There are currently 49 legendary Pokémon in total and they are characterized by having base statistics equal to or greater than 570. This is a good starting point for deciding which are the strongest legendary pokemon.
Each generation has its own Legendaries, not to be confused with Ultra Beasts or Mythical Pokémon. The seventh generation is the one with the most legendary, but none are among the most powerful. To prepare this ranking, it has been taken into account base stats made up of your attack, defense, speed or HP points. This means that it is a totally objective listwhere legendary Pokémon such as Rayquaza, Zygarde, Kyogre or Zamazenta stand out.
strongest legendary pokemon
Although creatures like Mewtwo They have been revealed as a very powerful Pokémon, the truth is that there are others much stronger. We already told you that technically Arceus is not a legendary Pokémon, but it is appropriate to include it in this ranking because it is the creator of all pokemon, including legendary according to the mythology of the Pokémon universe. This would instantly turn it into the strongest of all. Clarified this, here is the definitive list.
- Arceus
- Zamazenta
- Zacian
- zygarde
- kyurem
- eternal
- Rayquaza
- Mewtwo
- oh oh
- Giratina
- Lugia
- talk
- Palkia
- Groudon
- Kyogre
Arceus
It is actually a singular Pokémon, but it has many reasons to be in this ranking as the strongest pokemon in history. Based on this, Arceus’s stats shouldn’t be equivalent to any legendary. However, we are dealing with a single creature responsible for the creation of all pokemon that exist. Your base stats add a total of 720 points and it is not surpassed by any creature in normal state, at least not yet.
Zamazenta
It might as well be Zacian alongside Zamazenta, as they have identical stats and a total of 670 points. His best attributes have to do with attack and speed, but his defenses can be further upgraded to Reach 720 as Arceus thanks to an in-game item. Zamazenta needs a rusty shield to get his ultimate transformation with supreme shield formbecoming a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon.
Zacian
We could say something very similar to the legendary of the galar region, as it shares the same stats as Zamazenta. According to this, both they would be on the same level and they are not the only legendaries of the eighth generation in this ranking. In any case, Zacian is a very powerful Fairy-type Pokemon with 670 stat points. this creature need a rusty sword to reach his ultimate sword form (720 points) and obtaining the steel type. With this item equipped improves his attack and speed.
zygarde
If we take into account the base statistics of this Pokémon, it wasn’t a big reveal in his first appearances. That changed in Pokémon Sun and Moon, where he was granted a new more powerful form which improved its statistics considerably until it became one of the strongest legendary Pokémon. In his full form, Zygarde has 708 points improving his special attack and his life points to the detriment of your speed. Not everything was going to be good news.
kyurem
The legendary Pokémon of the fifth generation has more ways than any other. His stats are pretty average in his normal form, as he only has 660 points. However, a fusion mechanic was introduced that allows him to take on other more powerful transformations. up to 700 points. It can be fused with Reshiram and Zekrom, reaching the White or Black form respectively and climbing steps in the ranking of the strongest legendary Pokémon.
eternal
Like Zacian and Zamazenta, Eternatus became known in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Surprised by its incredible starting power with base stats of 690 points. And it could easily be the strongest Legendary Pokémon of them all in its Eternamax form, with which exceed 1000 points, but it is not possible to obtain this transformation so far. also does not get no Gigamax movement like other pokemon.
Rayquaza
It is known to all the power of rayquaza, the Dragon/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon. It was introduced early in the third generation, where a significant gap was made between the strongest creatures of the series. Rayquaza has exceptional stats totaling 680 points with a great attack. To this must be added the most powerful mega evolution of Pokémon, being the only one that you don’t need a Mega Stone to achieve this transformation.
Mewtwo
Something similar happens to Rayquaza, since boost your skills with mega evolutions considerably. In his normal form Mewtwo has 680 base stats, which places him in the middle of this list. Although at the beginning of Pokémon this creature was one of the most feared, it can be said that it needed several transformations to continue among the best legendary. The fighting type has very varied abilities that make it a quite a difficult enemy.
oh oh
Ho-oh has brilliant stats, especially his special defense and attack. Taking this into account, add 680 points like many legendaries. Instead, it lags behind because it’s a non-evolved Pokémon and can’t improve its abilities in any other way. It is known as Lugia’s counterpart and clearly surpasses him. It also has the honor of being the first legendary Pokémon that appeared in the anime with its long colored wings.
Giratina
He is one of the legendaries with really base stats amazing. They add up to 680, where their defense stands out, but it is still a very versatile creature. Regarding its origin form in the Distortion World, it changes some of its combat characteristics such as the ability to Levitation Pressure. Also their attack and defense points are exchanged, while speed and HP they stay the same. And for that, among other things, he is not in the top positions.
Lugia
Other legendary pokemon with 680 in its base stats, although it is not as versatile as Giratina. Highlight your special defense with 154 and is less powerful in attack. Just like Ho-Oh he doesn’t have any transformation, so can’t outrun other pokemon from this list. Still he is a good teammate because he has good psychic and flying-type moves, as well as the hidden ability that allows him to reduce damage by 50% with full health.
talk
Although it reminds you a lot of Arceus, Dialga is far below of its creator. He gains an origin form thanks to the Great Diamond Ball, but loses attack points and gains special defense. He certainly is one of the best in his class, but he could be much stronger among the legendaries. He has devastating attacksalthough his base stats only reach 680 points and that places him in the end of this ranking.
Palkia
Something similar happens to Palkia. He is a legendary with very good stats that add up to 680, highlighting its special attack over other attributes. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Palkia has got a new shape thanks to the Great lutresfera. At that moment he acquires physical characteristics reminiscent of Arceus, but they have nothing to do with it. Palkia lose attack points in this form and improves his speed, something to keep in mind in combat.
Groudon
And we come to what was one of the best legendary for a long time. Groudon was introduced in the third generation with such amazing stats like Kyogre. He highlights his attack and defense over the rest, but he has stats of 670 points. With the arrival of new generations, both Groudon and Kyogre have become more average legendaries according to their potential, but they should not be underestimated. Groudon can be very effective in his Improved Primal Form It deals impressive damage.
Kyogre
A legendary Pokémon that stands out for its special attack and defense, with a power very similar to Groudon. They were once two of the strongest legendaries, but the new generations these first positions were snatched from him. As with Groudon, Kyogre also has a primal form and improve its characteristics attack and special defense that greatly increase its power to 180 and 160 respectively.
you know the strongest legendary pokemon, although we couldn’t leave Arceus out. Mythical Pokémon were considered legendary until the fifth generation, which is why we have included Arceus in this list.
